⁶ The Lord works righteousness^(M)
    and justice for all the oppressed.^(N)

⁷ He made known^(O) his ways^(P) to Moses,
    his deeds^(Q) to the people of Israel:
⁸ The Lord is compassionate and gracious,^(R)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;^(S)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve^(T)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love^(U) for those who fear him;^(V)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions^(W) from us.

¹³ As a father has compassion^(X) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,^(Y)
    he remembers that we are dust.^(Z)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,^(AA)
    they flourish like a flower^(AB) of the field;
¹⁶ the wind blows^(AC) over it and it is gone,
    and its place^(AD) remembers it no more.
¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children^(AE)—
¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant^(AF)
    and remember^(AG) to obey his precepts.^(AH)

¹⁹ The Lord has established his throne^(AI) in heaven,
    and his kingdom rules^(AJ) over all.

²⁰ Praise the Lord,^(AK) you his angels,^(AL)
    you mighty ones^(AM) who do his bidding,^(AN)
    who obey his word.
²¹ Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,^(AO)
    you his servants^(AP) who do his will.
²² Praise the Lord, all his works^(AQ)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.^(AR)

Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendor and majesty.^(AT)

² The Lord wraps^(AU) himself in light^(AV) as with a garment;
    he stretches^(AW) out the heavens^(AX) like a tent^(AY)
3     and lays the beams^(AZ) of his upper chambers on their waters.^(BA)
He makes the clouds^(BB) his chariot^(BC)
    and rides on the wings of the wind.^(BD)
4 He makes winds his messengers,^[a](BE)
    flames of fire^(BF) his servants.

⁵ He set the earth^(BG) on its foundations;^(BH)
    it can never be moved.
⁶ You covered it^(BI) with the watery depths^(BJ) as with a garment;
    the waters stood^(BK) above the mountains.
⁷ But at your rebuke^(BL) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder^(BM) they took to flight;
⁸ they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned^(BN) for them.
⁹ You set a boundary^(BO) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

¹⁰ He makes springs^(BP) pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
¹¹ They give water^(BQ) to all the beasts of the field;
    the wild donkeys^(BR) quench their thirst.
¹² The birds of the sky^(BS) nest by the waters;
    they sing among the branches.^(BT)
13 He waters the mountains^(BU) from his upper chambers;^(BV)
    the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.^(BW)
14 He makes grass grow^(BX) for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food^(BY) from the earth:
¹⁵ wine^(BZ) that gladdens human hearts,
    oil^(CA) to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains^(CB) their hearts.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord^(CC) are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon^(CD) that he planted.
¹⁷ There the birds^(CE) make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
¹⁸ The high mountains belong to the wild goats;^(CF)
    the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.^(CG)

¹⁹ He made the moon to mark the seasons,^(CH)
    and the sun^(CI) knows when to go down.
²⁰ You bring darkness,^(CJ) it becomes night,^(CK)
    and all the beasts of the forest^(CL) prowl.
²¹ The lions roar for their prey^(CM)
    and seek their food from God.^(CN)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.^(CO)
23 Then people go out to their work,^(CP)
    to their labor until evening.^(CQ)

²⁴ How many are your works,^(CR) Lord!
    In wisdom you made^(CS) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.^(CT)
25 There is the sea,^(CU) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.^(CV)
26 There the ships^(CW) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,^(CX) which you formed to frolic^(CY) there.^(CZ)

²⁷ All creatures look to you
    to give them their food^(DA) at the proper time.
²⁸ When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied^(DB) with good things.
²⁹ When you hide your face,^(DC)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.^(DD)
30 When you send your Spirit,^(DE)
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹ May the glory of the Lord^(DF) endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works^(DG)—
³² he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,^(DH)
    who touches the mountains,^(DI) and they smoke.^(DJ)

³³ I will sing^(DK) to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
³⁴ May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    as I rejoice^(DL) in the Lord.
³⁵ But may sinners vanish^(DM) from the earth
    and the wicked be no more.^(DN)

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Praise the Lord.^[b](DO)

    what no ear has heard,
