King James Version

7

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

8

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

9

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

11

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

12

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

13

He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14

He 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;

15

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

16

The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

17

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

19

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

21

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

22

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24

O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

25

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

27

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

28

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31

The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

32

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

33

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

35

Let 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.

    “At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away (The mountains rose, the valleys sank down) Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains; They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild asses quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches. He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. He 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, And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, Andoil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man’s heart. The trees of Jehovah are filledwith moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir-trees are her house. The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the conies. He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night, Wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God. The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work And to his labor until the evening. O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: The earth is full of thy riches. Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts. There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to play therein. These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season. Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; And thou renewest the face of the ground. Let the glory of Jehovah endure for ever; Let Jehovah rejoice in his works: Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. And let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah. ”

    “At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them. You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they don't turn again to cover the earth. He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches. He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works. He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth: wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart. Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted; where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees. The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set. You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their dens. Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening. Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches. There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals. There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there. These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust. You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground. Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in his works. He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Yahweh. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!”

    “Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off– as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down– to the place you appointed for them. You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again. He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains. They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes. He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground, as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people’s lives. The trees of the LORD receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted, where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live. The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs. He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule. You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around. The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens. Men then go out to do their work, and labor away until evening. How many living things you have made, O LORD! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made. Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large. The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis. You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food. When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life’s breath, they die and return to dust. When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground. May the splendor of the LORD endure! May the LORD find pleasure in the living things he has made! He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist! May my thoughts be pleasing to him! I will rejoice in the LORD. May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!”

    “He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac: And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament: Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance. When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein: And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes. Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets. And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread. He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave. They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him. The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty. He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession. That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom. And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham. And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies. He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants. He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen. He gave them power to shew them signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham. He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words. He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish. Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings. He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land. And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts. He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number. And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground. And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour. And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them. He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night. They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land. Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness. And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people: That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law. ”

    “At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear; The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them. You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them. You sent the springs into the valleys; they are flowing between the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; the mountain asses come to them for water. The birds of the air have their resting-places by them, and make their song among the branches. He sends down rain from his store-houses on the hills: the earth is full of the fruit of his works. He makes the grass come up for the cattle, and plants for the use of man; so that bread may come out of the earth; And wine to make glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face shining, and bread giving strength to his heart. The trees of the Lord are full of growth, the cedars of Lebanon of his planting; Where the birds have their resting-places; as for the stork, the tall trees are her house. The high hills are a safe place for the mountain goats, and the rocks for the small beasts. He made the moon for a sign of the divisions of the year; teaching the sun the time of its going down. When you make it dark, it is night, when all the beasts of the woods come quietly out of their secret places. The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God. The sun comes up, and they come together, and go back to their secret places to take their rest. Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening. O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made. There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered. There go the ships; there is that great beast, which you have made as a plaything. All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time. They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand. If your face is veiled, they are troubled; when you take away their breath, they come to an end, and go back to the dust. If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth. Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works: At whose look the earth is shaking; at whose touch the mountains send out smoke. I will make songs to the Lord all my life; I will make melody to my God while I have my being. Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord. Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.”
