|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 I tell myself that I should praise Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
\q1 Yahweh, my God, you are very great!
|
||
|
|
\q2 As a king has on his royal robes,
|
||
|
|
\q1 you have honor and majesty all around you!
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 You created light and you hide behind it.
|
||
|
|
\q2 You spread out the whole sky as someone sets up a tent.
|
||
|
|
\q2
|
||
|
|
\v 3 You built your palace on the clouds.
|
||
|
|
\q1 You made the clouds to be like chariots to carry you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 You caused the winds to be like your messengers,
|
||
|
|
\q1 and flames of fire to be like your servants.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation
|
||
|
|
\q2 so that it can never be moved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 Later, you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket;
|
||
|
|
\q2 and the water covered the mountains.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 But when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded;
|
||
|
|
\q2 your voice spoke like thunder,
|
||
|
|
\q1 and then the waters rushed away.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 Mountains rose up from the water,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and the valleys sank down
|
||
|
|
\q2 to the levels that you had determined for them.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 Then you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross;
|
||
|
|
\q2 their water will never again cover the whole earth.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 10 You make springs to pour water into ravines;
|
||
|
|
\q2 their water flows down between the mountains.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 11 Those streams provide water for all the animals to drink;
|
||
|
|
\q2 the wild donkeys drink the water and are no longer thirsty.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 12 Birds make their nests alongside the streams,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and they sing among the branches of the trees.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 13 From the heavens you send rain down on the mountains,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 14 You make grass to grow for the cattle to eat,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and you make plants to grow for people.
|
||
|
|
\q2 In that way, animals and people get their food from what grows in the soil.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 15 We get grapes to make wine to drink and to make us cheerful;
|
||
|
|
\q2 we get olives to make our face shine,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and we get grain to make bread to give us strength.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 16 Yahweh, you send plenty of rain to water your trees,
|
||
|
|
\q2 the cedar trees that you planted in Lebanon.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 17 Birds make their nests in those trees,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and storks make their nests in pine trees.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and hyraxes live in the rocks.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 19 Yahweh, you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night
|
||
|
|
\q2 when all the animals in the forest prowl around looking for food.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey,
|
||
|
|
\q2 but they depend on you to give them food.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 23 During the daytime, people go to their work;
|
||
|
|
\q2 they work until it is evening.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things!
|
||
|
|
\q2 You were very wise as you made them all.
|
||
|
|
\q2 The earth is full of the creatures that you made.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 25 We see the ocean which is very vast!
|
||
|
|
\q2 It is full of many kinds of living creatures,
|
||
|
|
\q2 big ones and little ones.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 26 We see the ships which sail along!
|
||
|
|
\q2 We see the huge sea monster which you made to splash around in the sea.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 27 All of these creatures depend on you
|
||
|
|
\q2 to give them the food that they need.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 28 When you give them the food that they need,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they gather it.
|
||
|
|
\q1 You give them what you have in your hand,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and they eat it and are satisfied.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 29 But if you refuse to give food to them,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they become terrified.
|
||
|
|
\q1 When you cause them to stop breathing, they die;
|
||
|
|
\q2 their bodies decay and become soil again.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe,
|
||
|
|
\q2 they start to live;
|
||
|
|
\q2 You give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 31 May the glory of Yahweh last forever.
|
||
|
|
\q2 May he rejoice about all the things that he has created.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 32 He makes the earth shake just by looking at it!
|
||
|
|
\q2 By merely touching the mountains he makes them pour out fire and smoke!
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.
|
||
|
|
\q2 I will praise my God until the day that I die.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 34 May Yahweh be pleased by all these things that I have thought about him
|
||
|
|
\q2 because I rejoice about knowing him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 35 However, may sinners disappear from the earth;
|
||
|
|
\q2 may there will be no more wicked people!
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1 But as for me, I will praise Yahweh!
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1 Praise him!
