³He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters; He makes the clouds His chariot; He walks on the wings of the wind;

⁴He makes the winds His messengers, Flaming fire His ministers.

⁵He established the earth upon its foundations, So that it will not totter forever and ever.

⁶You covered it with the deep sea as with a garment; The waters were standing above the mountains.

⁷They fled from Your rebuke, At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

⁸The mountains rose; the valleys sank down To the place which You established for them.

⁹You set a boundary so that they will not pass over, So that they will not return to cover the earth.

¹⁰He sends forth springs in the valleys; They flow between the mountains;

¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²The birds of the sky dwell beside them; They lift up their voices from among the branches.

¹³He waters the mountains from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of mankind, So that they may produce food from the earth,

¹⁵And wine, which makes a human heart cheerful, So that he makes his face gleam with oil, And food, which sustains a human heart.

¹⁶The trees of the LORD drink their fill, The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,

¹⁷Where the birds build their nests, And the stork, whose home is the juniper trees.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats; The cliffs are a refuge for the rock hyrax.

¹⁹He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting.

²⁰You appoint darkness and it becomes night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl about.

²¹The young lions roar for their prey And seek their food from God.

²³A person goes out to his work And to his labor until evening.

²⁴LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions.

²⁵There is the sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great.

²⁶The ships move along there, And Leviathan, which You have formed to have fun in it.

²⁷They all wait for You To give them their food in due season.

²⁸You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

²⁹You hide Your face, they are terrified; You take away their breath, they perish And return to their dust.

³⁰You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the ground.

³¹May the glory of the LORD endure forever; May the LORD rejoice in His works;

³²He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

³⁴May my praise be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall rejoice in the LORD.

⁷He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

¹⁰Then He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹¹Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,”

¹²When they were only a few people in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

¹³And they wandered from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,

¹⁴He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,

¹⁵“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.”

¹⁶And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

¹⁸They forced his feet into shackles, He was put in irons;

¹⁹Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD refined him.

²⁰The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

²¹He made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions,

²²To imprison his high officials at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

²³Israel also came into Egypt; So Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

²⁴And He made His people very fruitful, And made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁶He sent His servant Moses, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

²⁷They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.

²⁹He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and a swarm of flies And gnats invaded all their territory.

³²He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.

³³He also struck their vines and their fig trees, And smashed the trees of their territory.

³⁴He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, beyond number,

³⁵And they ate all the vegetation in their land, And ate the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He also fatally struck all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.

³⁷Then He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon the Egyptians.

³⁹He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire to illumine by night.

⁴⁰They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴²For He remembered His holy word With His servant Abraham;

⁴³And He led out His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

⁴⁴He also gave them the lands of the nations, So that they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

⁴⁵And that they might keep His statutes And comply with His laws; Praise the LORD!
