Psalm 103 📜 📕 ↷
Bless the LORD, O My Soul
1 TO David himself. My soul bless thou our Lord: o Lord my God thou art magnified exceedingly.📜💬📚
2 Thou hast put on confession and beauty: being clothed with light as with a garment. Stretching out the heaven as a skin:📜💬📚
3 which coverest the higher parts thereof with waters. Which makest the cloud for thee to ascend on: which walkest upon the wings of winds.📜💬📚
4 Which makest spirits thine Angels: and thy ministers a burning fire.📜💬📚
5 Which hast founded the earth upon the stability thereof: it shall not be inclined for ever and ever.📜💬📚
6 The depth as a garment is his clothing: upon the mountains shall waters stand.📜💬📚
7 At thy reprehension they shall fly: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.📜💬📚
8 The mountains ascend: and the plain fields descend into the place, which thou hast founded for them.📜💬📚
9 Thou hast set a bound, which they shall not pass over: neither shall they return to cover the earth.📜💬📚
10 Which sendest forth fountains in the valleys: between the midst of mountains shall waters pass.📜💬📚
11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.📜💬📚
12 Over them shall the fowls of the air inhabit: out of the midst of rocks they shall give forth voices.📜💬📚
13 Watering the mountains from higher places: of the fruit of thy work shall the earth be filled.📜💬📚
14 Bringing forth grass for beasts, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring forth bread out of the earth:📜💬📚
15 & wine may make the heart of man joyful. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and bread may confirm the heart of man.📜💬📚
16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus, which he hath planted:📜💬📚
17 there, sparrows shall make their nest. The house of the heron is the leader of them:📜💬📚
18 the high mountains for harts: the rock a refuge for the Irchins.📜💬📚
19 He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.📜💬📚
20 Thou didst appoint darkness, and night was made: in it shall all the beasts of the wood pass.📜💬📚
21 The whelps of lions roaring, to raven, and to seek of God meat for themselves.📜💬📚
22 The sun is risen, & they are gathered together: and in their couches they shall be placed.📜💬📚
23 Man shall go forth to his work: and to his working until evening.📜💬📚
24 How magnified are thy works, o Lord! Thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy possession.📜💬📚
25 This great sea, and very large, there are creeping beasts, whereof there is no number. Little beasts with great:📜💬📚
26 there ships shall pass. This dragon, whom thou madest to delude:📜💬📚
27 all expect of thee that thou give them meat in season.📜💬📚
28 Thou giving unto them, they shall gather it: thou opening thy hand, all shall be filled with bounty.📜💬📚
29 But thou turning away the face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their spirit, and they shall fail, and shall return into their dust.📜💬📚
30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.📜💬📚
31 Be the glory of our Lord for ever: our Lord will rejoice in his works.📜💬📚
32 Who looketh upon the earth, & maketh it to tremble: who toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.📜💬📚
33 I will chant to our Lord in my life: I will sing to my God as long as I am.📜💬📚
34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in our Lord.📜💬📚
35 Let sinners fail from the earth, and the unjust, so that they be not: my soul bless thou our Lord.📜💬📚
