New Living Translation

International Standard Version

1Let all that I am praise the LORD. O LORD my God, how great you are! You are robed with honor and majesty.

1Bless the LORD, my soul; LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed in splendor and majesty;

2You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;

2you are wrapped in light like a garment, stretching out the sky like a curtain.

3you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.

3He lays the beams of his roof loft on the water above, making clouds his chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.

4The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.

4He makes the winds his messengers, blazing fires his servants.

5You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.

5He established the earth on its foundations, so that it never falters.

6You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.

6You covered the primeval ocean like a garment; the water stood above the mountains.

7At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.

7They flee at your rebuke; they rush away at the sound of your thunders.

8Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.

8Mountains rise up and valleys sink to the place you have ordained for them.

9Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

9You have set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never again cover the earth.

10You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.

10He causes springs to gush forth into rivers that flow between the mountains.

11They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

11They give water for animals of the field to drink; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.

12Birds of the sky live beside them and chirp a song among the foliage.

13You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.

13He waters the mountains from his heavenly rooms; the earth is satisfied from the fruit of your work.

14You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth—

14He causes grass to sprout for the cattle and plants for people to cultivate, to produce food from the land,

15wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.

15like wine that makes the heart of people happy, oil that makes the face glow, and food that sustains people.

16The trees of the LORD are well cared for— the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

16The loftiest trees are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted,

17There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.

17the birds build their nests there, and the heron builds its nest among the evergreen.

18High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.

18The high mountains are for wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badger.

19You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.

19He made the moon to mark time; the sun knows its setting time.

20You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about.

20You bring darkness and it becomes night; when every beast of the forest prowls.

21Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God.

21Young lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God.

22At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.

22When the sun rises, they gather and lie down in their dens.

23Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.

23People go out to their work and labor until evening.

24O LORD, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.

24How numerous are your works, LORD! You have made them all wisely; the earth is filled with your creations.

25Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every kind, both large and small.

25There is the deep and wide sea, teeming with numberless creatures, living things small and great.

26See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.

26There, the ships pass through; Leviathan, which you created, frolics in it.

27They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.

27All of them look to you to provide them their food at the proper time.

28When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.

28They receive what you give them; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.

29When you withdraw your favor, they are disappointed; Take away their breath, and they die and return to dust.

30When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.

30When you send your spirit, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the earth.

31May the glory of the LORD continue forever! The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made!

31May the glory of the LORD last forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works!

32The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch.

32He looks at the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they smoke.

33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath!

33I will sing to the LORD with my whole being; I will sing to my God continually!

34May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

34May my thoughts be pleasing to him; indeed, I will rejoice in the LORD!

35Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth; let the wicked disappear forever. Let all that I am praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!

35May sinners disappear from the land and the wicked live no longer. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!
