      Psalm 103

      1. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

      O Lord, my God, you are very great!

      You have clothed yourself with praise and honor;

      2. you who robe yourself with light as with a garment,

      stretching out heaven

      like a leather tunic;

      3. who vaults his chambers with waters

      who makes the clouds his chariots,

      who walks on the wings of the wind;

      4. who makes his angels spirits,

      and his ministers flaming fire;

      5. who establishes the earth

      on its firm foundation,

      it shall not be displaced from age to age.

      6. The abyss, like a garment,

      is his vestment,

      the waters shall stand upon the hills.

      shall depart;

      at the voice of your thunder they shall be alarmed.

      from between the rocks they shall raise their voices.

      13. You are the One who waters the mountains from celestial chambers,

      the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of your labors.

      14. You are the One who causes grass to grow for the cattle,

      and the green plants for the service

      of humans,

      to bring forth bread from the earth;

      15. as well as wine to gladden the people’s hearts,

      to make their face glisten with oil,

      and bread to strengthen the heart.

      16. The trees of the plains shall be laden with fruit,

      even the cedars of Lebanon which you have planted.

      17. There the sparrows shall build

      their nests;

      the heron’s house takes precedent among them.

      18. The high mountains are for the deer;

      the rocky crag is refuge for the rabbit.

      19. He made the moon for

      marking times;

      the sun knows its time to set.

      20. You established darkness,

      and it was night,

      when all the wild animals of the forest prowl about.

      21. The young lions roar for their prey,

      and seek their food from God.

      22. The sun rises and they are

      gathered together;

      and they shall lie down in their

      dens to rest.

      to labor until evening.

      24. How great are your works, O Lord!

      You made everything by wisdom;

      the earth is full of your creativity.

      25. There is this great and expansive sea;

      innumerable are the creeping

      creatures there,

      small animals as well as large.

      26. There the ships ply their passage;

      and the dragon you formed to play therein.

      27. All things wait upon you,

      to give them their food in due season.

      28. When you give it to them, they shall gather it;

      when you open your hand,

      all will be filled with your bounteous goodness.
