Psalms 103

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

103:1

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou hast clothed thyself with praise and honour:

—

103:2

who dost robe thyself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.

—

103:3

Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.

—

103:4

Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.

—

103:5

Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.

—

103:6

The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.

—

103:7

At thy rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of thy thunder they shall be alarmed.

—

103:8

They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which thou hast founded for them.

—

103:9

Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.

—

103:10

He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.

—

103:11

They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.

—

103:12

By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.

—

103:13

He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

—

103:14

He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;

—

103:15

and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.

—

103:16

The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap; even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.

—

103:17

There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.

—

103:18

The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.

—

103:19

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.

—

103:20

Thou didst make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:

—

103:21

[even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.

—

103:22

The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.

—

103:23

Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour till evening.

—

103:24

How great are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou wrought them all: the earth is filled with thy creation.

—

103:25

[So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.

—

103:26

There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom thou hast made to play in it.

—

103:27

All wait upon thee, to give them [their] food in due season.

—

103:28

When thou hast given [it] them, they will gather [it]; and when thou hast opened thine hand, they shall all be filled with good.

—

103:29

But when thou hast turned away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou wilt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.

—

103:30

Thou shalt send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

—

103:31

Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works;

—

103:32

who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

—

103:33

I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.

—

103:34

Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.

—

103:35

Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
