1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
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.
Slava Dievam, pasaules radītājam
1 Teici To Kungu, mana dvēsele! Kungs, mans Dievs, cik Tu esi liels, cildenumā un godībā tērpies. 2 Tu ģērbies gaismā kā tērpā, Tu izplet debesis kā telts segu. 3 Tu ūdeņus liec Savai pilij par pamatu, Tu brauc uz mākoņiem kā ar ratiem, Tu skrien ar vēja spārniem; 4 Tu dari vējus par Saviem vēstnešiem un uguns liesmas par Saviem kalpiem. 5 Tu pamatojis zemi uz stipriem balstiem, ka tā nesvārstās nemūžam. 6 Ar pirmplūdiem Tu biji apsedzis to kā ar drēbēm, ūdeņi stāvēja pāri kalniem; 7 no Taviem draudu saucieniem tie bēga, no Tava pērkona tie aizsteidzās bailēs. 8 Kalni pacēlās augstu, un lejas nogrima līdz tai vietai, kā Tu tām biji licis. 9 Tu robežas esi licis, ko ūdeņiem nebūs pārkāpt, tie neapplūdinās vairs zemi. 10 Tu pievadi avotus strautiem pa ielejām, tā ka šie strauti priecīgi burbuļo dziļumos starp kalniem. 11 Tie dzirdina tālāk visus kustoņus laukā, tur meža ēzeļi dzesē savas slāpes. 12 Viņu krastos dzīvo debess putni un dzied koku zaros dziesmas. 13 Tu veldzē kalnus no Savas debess pils; ar augļiem, ko Tu audzē, piepildās zeme. 14 Tu liec augt zālei par barību lopiem un dažādiem augiem cilvēku vajadzībām, Tu liec zaļot sējai, lai nāktu no zemes maize 15 un vīns, kas iepriecina cilvēka sirdi, lai viņa vaigs spīdētu no eļļas un maize lai stiprinātu viņa miesu. 16 Ar valgumu pildās Tā Kunga koki, Libanona ciedru koki, ko Viņš stādījis, 17 kur putni taisa savas ligzdas, kur stārķi dzīvo ciprešu galotņu zaros. 18 Augstie kalni ir par mājokli kalnu kazām, un klintis āpšiem par patvērumu. 19 Tu radīji mēnesi laika noteikšanai, un sauli, kas pati zina savu gaitu. 20 Kad iestājas tumsa, tad metas nakts, tad kustas visi meža zvēri. 21 Jaunie lauvas rūc pēc laupījuma un gaida savu barību no Dieva. 22 Kad saule uzlec, tad tie pazūd un apgulstas savās alās; 23 tad cilvēks iziet pie sava darba, iegrimdams savā darbā līdz vakara laikam. 24 Cik lieli ir Tavi darbi, ak, Kungs! Cik daudz ir to, un tos visus Tu esi ar gudrību radījis; zeme ir Tavu radījumu pilna. 25 Redzi, jūra - cik liela un plaša tā uz visām pusēm! Tur mudžēt mudž neskaitāmā daudzumā visādi kustoņi, lieli un mazi. 26 Tur brauc kuģi, tur ir leviatāns, ko Tu esi radījis, lai tas rotaļājas tanī. 27 Viņi visi gaida uz Tevi, lai Tu viņiem barību dod savā laikā. 28 Kad Tu to viņiem dod, tad viņi to sakrāj; kad Tu atver Savu roku, tad viņi top paēdināti ar visu labu. 29 Bet, kad Tu apslēp Savu vaigu, tad viņi krīt bailēs; kad Tu viņiem atņem dvašu, tad viņi mirst un atgriežas pīšļos. 30 Kad Tu sūti Savu Garu, tad viņi top dzīvi radījumi, tā Tu atjauno zemes seju. 31 Tā Kunga godība lai paliek mūžīgi, Tas Kungs priecājas par Saviem darbiem! 32 Kad Viņš uzlūko zemi, tad tā trīc; kad Viņš aizskar kalnus, tad tie kūp. 33 Es dziedāšu Tam Kungam visu savu mūžu, es slavēšu savu Dievu, kamēr vien šeit mītu! 34 Manas sirds domas lai Viņam patīk, es priecāšos Tam Kungam! 35 Grēcinieki lai pazūd no zemes virsas, un kaut bezdievju nebūtu vairs. Teici To Kungu, mana dvēsele! Alelujā!
