1 (103-1) Bless my soul, Lord! Oh my God! You are fearfully and wonderfully great art clothed with honor and majesty;
2 (103-2) thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent;
3 (103-3) over the waters of mountain wrought thy palaces, makes the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind.
4 (103-4) Who maketh his angels spirits, Thy servants - the flaming fire.
5 (103-5) You set the earth on its foundations: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
6 (103-6) deep as with a garment, you covered it stood above the mountains of water.
7 (103-7) At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder quickly go;
8 (103-8) date back to the mountains, down into the valleys, to the place that you appointed for them.
9 (103-9) You put the limit, which does not pass, not again to cover the earth.

10 (103-10) You sent springs into the valleys between the mountains flow,
eleven (103-11) watered all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 (103-12) In these birds of the heavens, from sing among the branches.
13 (103-13) You water the mountains from your heights, the fruits of Your works the earth is satisfied.
14 (103-14) Thou bud grass for cattle, and herb for the service of man, to produce food from the land,
15 (103-15) and wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
16 (103-16) The trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17 (103-17) in the birds make their nests: eating - home stork,
18 (103-18) the high mountains - sulfur yellow; stone cliffs - a refuge hares.

19 (103-19) He appointed the moon for [specified] time, the sun knoweth his going down.
20 (103-20) Thou makest darkness, and it is night: during her wander all the beasts of the forest;
21 (103-21), young lions roar after their prey, and ask God for the food itself.
22 (103-22) For the sun, [and] they gather and lie down in their dens;
23 (103-23) Man goeth forth unto his work and to his till evening.
24 (103-24), how manifold are thy works, O Lord! All wisdom hast thou made Plot full of thy riches.
25 (103-25) This is - great and wide sea: there are creeping things without number, animals both small and great;
26 (103-26) There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
27 (103-27) All they expect from thee, that thou mayest give them their food in due time.
28 (103-28) Give them - accept, open your hand - filled with good;
29 (103-29) hide Your face - an uproar, take away their spirit - die and return to their dust;
thirty (103-30) you send forth your spirit - they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.

31 (103-31) May the Lord the glory forever; LORD shall rejoice in his works!
32 (103-32) looks at the earth and it shakes; touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 (103-33) I will sing to the Lord of [all] my life, I will sing praises unto my God while I have any.
34 (103-34) Let it be favorable to him, my song; I will rejoice in the Lord.
35 (103-35) Let the sinners from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless my soul, Lord! Alleluia!
