PSAL. CIV.

[1]

Blesse God, my soul: O Lord my God,

thou art exceeding great,
With Honour and with Majestie
thou clothed art in state.

2

With light, as with a robe, thy self

thou coverest about;
And, like unto a curtain, thou
the heavens stretchest out.

3

Who of his chābers doth the beams

within the waters lay;
Who doth the clōds his chariot make
on wings of winde make way.

4

Who flaming fire his ministers,

his Angels sp'rits doth make;

5

Who earths foundations did lay,

that it should never shake.

6

Thou didst it cover with the deep,

as with a garment spred:
The waters stood above the hils,
when thou the word but said.

7

But, at the voice of thy rebuke

they fled, and would not stay:
They, at thy thunders dreadful voice,
did haste them fast away.

8

They by the mountains do ascend,

and by the valley ground
Descend, unto that very place
which thou for them didst found.

9

Thou hast a bound unto them set,

that they may not passe over,
That they do not return again
the face of earth to cover.

10

He to the valleys sends the springs,

which run among the hils:

11

They to al beasts of field give drink

wild ashes drink their fils.

12

By them the fowls of heav'n shal have

their habitation,
Which do among the branches sing
with delectation.

13

He from his chambers watereth

the hils, when they are dry'd:
With fruit and increase of thy works
the earth is satisfi'd.

14

For cattel he makes grasse to grow,

he makes the herb to spring
For th'use of man, that food to him,
he from the earth may bring.

15

And wine, that to the heart of man

doth cheerfulnesse impart,
Oil that his face makes shine, & bread
that strengtheneth his heart.

16

The trees of God are ful of sap,

the Ceders that do stand
In Lebanon, which planted were
by his almighty hand.

17

Birds of the air upon their boughs

do choose their nests to make
As for the Stork, the fir-trees she
doth for her dwelling take.

18

The loftie mountains for wilde goats

a place of refuge be:
The Conies also to the rocks
do for their safetie flee.

19

He sets the Moon in heav'n, thereby

the seasons to discern:
From him the Sun, his certain time
of going down, doth learn.

20

Thou darkness mak'st, 'tis night, then beasts

of forrests creep abroad.

21

The lions yōng roar for their prey

and seek their meat from God.

22

The Sun doth rise, and home they, flock,

down in their dens they ly

23

Man goes to work, his labour he

doth to the evening ply.

24

How manifold, Lord, are thy works

in wisdom wonderful
Thou every one of them hast made,
earth's of thy riches ful.

25

So is this great and spacious sea,

wherein things creeping are
Which numbred cannot be; and beasts
both great and smal are there.

26

There ships go, there thō mak'st to play

that Leviathan great:

27

These al wait on thee, that thou may'st

in due time give them meat.

28

That, which thou givest unto them

they gather for their food;
Thine hand thou op'nest liberally,
they filled are with good.

29

Thou hid'st thy face, they troubled are

their breath thou tak'st away,
Then do they die, and to their dust
return again do they.

30

Thy quickning Spirit thou sendest forth,

then they created be:
And then the earths decayed face
renewed is by thee.

31

The glory of the mighty Lord

continue shal for ever:
The Lord Jehovah shal rejoyce
in all his works together.

32

Earth as affrighted, trembleth all

if he on it but look:
And if the mountains he but touch,
they presently do smoke.

33

I wil sing to the Lord most high,

so long as I shal live:
And while I being have, I shal
to my God praises give.

34

Of him my meditation shal

sweet thoughts to me afford;
And as for me, I wil rejoyce
in God, my only Lord.

35

From earth let sinners be consum'd

let ill men no more be.
O thou my soul, blesse thou the Lord:
praise to the Lord give ye.
