¹Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
 ²Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
 ³Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
 ⁴Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
 ⁵Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
 ⁶Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
 ⁷At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
 ⁸They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
 ⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
 ¹⁰He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
 ¹¹They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
 ¹²By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
 ¹³He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
 ¹⁴He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
 ¹⁵And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
 ¹⁶The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
 ¹⁷Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
 ¹⁸The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
 ¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
 ²⁰Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
 ²¹The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
 ²²The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
 ²³Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
 ²⁴O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
 ²⁵So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
 ²⁶There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
 ²⁷These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
 ²⁸That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
 ²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
 ³⁰Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
 ³¹The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
 ³²He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
 ³³I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
 ³⁴My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
 ³⁵Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

       His love endures forever.
 ⁷ who made the great lights—
       His love endures forever.
 ⁸ the sun to govern the day,
       His love endures forever.
 ⁹ the moon and stars to govern the night;
       His love endures forever.

Psalm 136: 1-9

⁷ Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
         Sing praises on the harp to our God,

         Who makes grass to grow on the mountains.

         And you waters above the heavens!

         For He commanded and they were created.

         He made a decree which shall not pass away.
       
 ⁷ Praise the LORD from the earth,
         You great sea creatures and all the depths;

         Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

         Fruitful trees and all cedars;
 ¹⁰ Beasts and all cattle;
         Creeping things and flying fowl;
 ¹¹ Kings of the earth and all peoples; Psalm 148:1-11

Let everything that breathes praise the Lord (Psalm 150:6)
