8The mountains rise up, and the plains sink down To the place You founded for them.

10You are He who sends springs into the valley; The waters shall pass between the mountains;

13You are He who waters the mountains from His higher places; The earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

16The trees of the plain shall be full of fruit, The cedars of Lebanon, which You planted;

17There the sparrows shall make their nests; The house of the heron takes the lead among them.

19He made the moon for seasons; The sun knows its setting.

20You established darkness, and it was night, Wherein all the wild animals of the forest will prowl about;

22The sun arises, and they are gathered together; And they shall be put to bed in their dens.

23Man shall go out to his work And to his labor until evening.

24O Lord, Your works shall be magnified greatly; You made all things in wisdom; The earth was filled with Your creation.

25There is this great and spacious sea: The creeping things are there without number; The living things are there, both small and great;

26There the ships pass through; There is this dragon You formed to play therein.

27All things wait upon You, That You may give them food in due season.

28When You give it to them, they shall gather it; When You open Your hand, all things shall be filled with Your goodness.

29But when You turn Your face away, they shall be troubled; When You take away their breath, they shall die And return again to their dust.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

30You shall send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created, And You shall renew the face of the earth.

31Let the glory of the Lord be forever; The Lord shall be glad in His works;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

32He looks upon the earth and makes it tremble; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

Greek verse alignment unresolved

33I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing to my God as long as I exist;

Greek verse alignment unresolved

34May my words be pleasing to Him, And I shall be glad in the Lord.

35May sinners cease from the earth, And the lawless, so as to be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
