Bless the Lord, my soul. Lord, my God, you have been greatly magnified. You have clothed yourself in confession and decree. Dress yourself in light like a robe, stretch out the sky like skin. Cover Your high waters with Your highest waters, trust the clouds for Your ascent, walk on the wing of the wind. The Angels create His own spirits and servants, His own fiery flame. Found the earth on its firmament, it will not bend forever. The deep is like a robe, its garment; the waters will rise on the mountains; they will flee from Your rebuke; they will fear the voice of Your thunder. Mountains rise and fields descend to the place that you founded for them. You have set a limit that they will not pass, but will return to cover the earth. Send springs into the wilds, and waters will flow through the mountains. All the animals of the village are soldering, they are waiting for the ongris in their thirst. On you the birds of heaven will take root, from the environment the stones will give a voice. Solder the mountains from Your high ones; the earth will be satisfied with the fruit of Your works. Let the grass grow for the cattle, and the grain for the service of man, and bring the bread from the ground.
And wine makes a man’s heart glad; anoint the face with oil, and bread strengthens a man’s heart. The trees of Poland, the cedars of Lebanon, which you planted, will be satisfied. Birds nest there, and Erodian’s dwelling is their leader. High mountains are tree-lined, stone is a refuge for a hare. He created the moon in time, the sun knew its west. You set it in darkness, and the night came, in which all the animals of the oak forest would pass. Slay the roaring ones, take them away and seek food for yourself from God. The sun has risen and gathered and will lie down in their beds. A man will go out to his work and to his work until evening. Because Thy works have been magnified, O Lord, Thou hast done all things with wisdom, the earth is filled with Thy creation. This sea is great and spacious, there are vermin, there are no number of them, small animals with great ones, there ships sail, this serpent, whom you created, curses him. Everyone is looking to You, give them food for good times.
If I give to You, they will gather them, I will open Your hand, they will be filled with all kindness, but if I turn away Your face, they will rebel, take away their spirit, and they will disappear and return to their dust. Follow Thy Spirit, and they will be created, and renew the face of the earth. Be the glory of the Lord forever, the Lord will rejoice in His deeds, look upon the earth, and make it shake, touch the mountains, and smoke. I will sing to the Lord in my belly, I will sing to my God, even though I am, that my conversation may delight Him, and I will rejoice in the Lord. Let sinners and wicked women disappear from the earth, as if they did not exist. Bless the Lord, my soul. Bless the Lord, my soul! Lord my God, Your greatness is immeasurable! You are clothed with splendor and glory. You dress yourself in light, like a robe, you stretch out the sky like a leather tent; You cover Your heights with waters, You ascend on the clouds, You walk on the wings of the wind; You created Your spirits - Angels, and clothed Your servants in a fiery flame. You have firmly established the earth; He will never turn aside from his path.
The abyss is like a robe, its garment; there will be water on the mountains. They will flee from Your threat, they will fear the voice of Your thunder; The waves rise like mountains and fall down, where You have ordained them. You have set a limit; the waters will not cross it, they will not flood the earth. You direct streams into the wilds, water flows among the mountains. They will give water to the beasts of the field, and the onagers will quench their thirst. The birds of the air live by the water; among the rocks a voice is heard. You will water the mountains from Your heights; The earth will be satisfied with the fruits of Your works. Grass grows for livestock, and grains grow for the benefit of man, so that the earth may bring him bread; And wine gladdens a man’s heart, and his face shines as if anointed with oil, and bread strengthens a man’s heart. The trees of the fields, the cedars of Lebanon, planted by You, will drink moisture; Birds live there, the stork's nest rises above them. High mountains are a refuge for deer, rocks are a refuge for hares. You created the moon to indicate the times; the sun knows the hour of its setting. You spread the darkness, and night comes, and the forest animals roam in the darkness; Young lions roar, hunger for prey and ask God for food for themselves.
The sun will rise, and they will return and lie down in their lairs. A man will go out to do his work, to do his deeds until evening. How majestic are Your works, O Lord! How wisely You created everything! Thy creatures inhabited the earth. Here is a great and spacious sea; There are no number of reptiles there, small and great fish; There ships sail, there is a serpent created by You to have fun in the sea. Everyone expects from You that You give them food in due time. You give it to them, and they accept it; you stretch out your hand, and everyone is satisfied with the blessings; You will turn away Your face, and they will be dismayed; take away their breath, and they will disappear, and return to the dust of the earth; You will send Your Spirit, and other creatures will arise, and You will renew the face of the earth. May the glory be to the Lord forever! The Lord will rejoice in His works. He looks at the earth, and it shakes; touches the mountains and smokes. I will sing to the Lord all the days of my life; I will sing to my God as long as I exist. May my prayer conversation be pleasing to Him, and may I rejoice in the Lord! May sinners and lawless people disappear from the face of the earth, may they no longer exist! Bless the Lord, my soul!
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
