Bless the Lord, my soul! O Lord my God, you have been greatly magnified. You have clothed yourself with thanksgiving and majesty, wrapping yourself in light as in a cloak, stretching out the heavens like a curtain, roofing his upper chambers with waters, placing clouds as his mount, walking on the wings of the wind, making spirits his Angels and a flame of fire his Ministers, Establishing the earth on its sure base; it will not be moved to age on age. The deep, like a cloak, is its mantle; waters will stand upon the mountains. At your rebuke they will flee; they will quail at the voice of your thunder. The mountains will rise and the plains descend to the place which you established for them. You fixed a limit that they will not pass, nor will they return to cover the earth. You send out springs into the valleys; waters will run between the mountains. They will give drink to all the beasts of the field; the wild asses will await them to quench their thirst. Beside them the birds of the air will make their dwelling: and sing among the rocks. He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth will be filled from the fruit of your works. He makes grass spring up for the cattle, and green herb for the service of mankind; to bring food out of the earth, and wine makes glad the human heart; to make the face cheerful with oil, and bread strengthens the human heart. The trees of the plain will be satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon that you planted. There the sparrows will build their nests; the heron’s dwelling is at their head. The high mountains are for the deer; rocks a refuge for hares. He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knew the hour of its setting. You appointed darkness, and it was night, in which all the beasts of the forest will prowl; young lions roaring to plunder and to seek their food from God. The sun rose and they were gathered together and they will lie down in their dens. Man will go out to his labour; and to his labouring until evening. How your works have been magnified, O Lord. With wisdom you have made them all, and the earth was filled with your creation. See, this great, wide sea; there there are creeping things without number, living creatures small and great. There ships go to and fro; this dragon which you fashioned to sport in it. All things look to you to give them their food in due season. When you give it them, they will gather it. When you open your hand all things will be filled with goodness. But when you turn away your face they will be troubled. You will take away their spirit, and they will perish and return to their dust. You will send forth your spirit, and they will be created, and you will renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure to the ages. The Lord will rejoice at his works. He looks upon the earth and makes it tremble. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will praise my God while I exist. May my words be pleasing to him. While as for me, I shall rejoice in the Lord. O that sinners might perish from the earth, and the wicked, so that they are no more. Bless the Lord, my soul!
The sun knew the hour of its setting: you made darkness, and it was night. How your works have been magnified, O Lord. With wisdom you have made them all!

Lord, I have cried to you, hear me; hear me, O Lord. Lord, I have cried to you, hear me. Give heed to the voice of my supplication when I cry to you. Hear me, O Lord.
Let my prayer be directed like incense before you; the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice. Hear me, O Lord.
Set a guard, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about my lips.
Do not incline my heart to evil words; to make excuses for my sins.
With those who work iniquity, let me not unite with their elect.
The just will chastise me with mercy and reprove me; but let not the oil of sinners anoint my head.
For yet my prayer shall be in their pleasures; their judges have been swallowed up near the rock.
They will hear my words for they are sweet. As a clod of earth is crushed upon the ground, their bones have been scattered at the mouth of Hades.
For my eyes look to you, O Lord, my Lord. I have hoped in you, do not take away my soul.
Keep me from the snare that they have hidden for me, and from the traps of evil-doers.
The sinners will fall into their own net. I am alone until I pass by.
With my voice I cried to the Lord. With my voice I entreated the Lord.
I will pour out my entreaty before him, and tell him all my trouble.
When my spirit was faint, you knew my path.
In the way where I walked they had hidden a snare for me.
I looked to my right hand and saw, but there was none who knew me.
Escape is gone from me, and there is none who seeks for my soul.
I cried to you, Lord, I said, ‘You are my hope; my portion in the land of the living.’
Give heed to my supplication, for I am brought very low.
Deliver me from those who persecute me, for they are too strong for me.
Verse 10. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may confess your name.
Verse 9. The just will await me, until you reward me.
Verse 8. Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord. Lord hear my voice.
Verse 7. Let your ears be attentive, to the voice of my supplication.
Verse 6. If you, Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who will stand? But there is forgiveness with you.
Verse 5. For your name’s sake I have waited for you, O Lord. My soul has waited on your word. My soul has hoped in the Lord.
Verse 4. From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch, let Israel hope in the Lord.
Verse 3. For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him plentiful redemption, and he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Verse 2. Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him all you peoples.
Verse 1. For his mercy has been mighty towards us, and the truth of the Lord endures to the ages.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Both now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
