Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendor and majesty.^(B)

² The Lord wraps^(C) himself in light^(D) as with a garment;
    he stretches^(E) out the heavens^(F) like a tent^(G)
3     and lays the beams^(H) of his upper chambers on their waters.^(I)
He makes the clouds^(J) his chariot^(K)
    and rides on the wings of the wind.^(L)
4 He makes winds his messengers,^[a](M)
    flames of fire^(N) his servants.

⁵ He set the earth^(O) on its foundations;^(P)
    it can never be moved.
⁶ You covered it^(Q) with the watery depths^(R) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(S) above the mountains.

¹⁰ He makes springs^(A) pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
¹¹ They give water^(B) to all the beasts of the field;
    the wild donkeys^(C) quench their thirst.
¹² The birds of the sky^(D) nest by the waters;
    they sing among the branches.^(E)
13 He waters the mountains^(F) from his upper chambers;^(G)
    the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.^(H)
14 He makes grass grow^(I) for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food^(J) from the earth:
¹⁵ wine^(K) that gladdens human hearts,
    oil^(L) to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains^(M) their hearts.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord^(N) are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon^(O) that he planted.
¹⁷ There the birds^(P) make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
¹⁸ The high mountains belong to the wild goats;^(Q)
    the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.^(R)

¹⁹ He made the moon to mark the seasons,^(S)
    and the sun^(T) knows when to go down.
²⁰ You bring darkness,^(U) it becomes night,^(V)
    and all the beasts of the forest^(W) prowl.
²¹ The lions roar for their prey^(X)
    and seek their food from God.^(Y)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.^(Z)
23 Then people go out to their work,^(AA)
    to their labor until evening.^(AB)
