2 Thou deckeft thyfelf with light as it were with a garment: and fpreadeft out the heavens like a curtain.

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters : and maketh the clouds his chariot; and walketh upon the wings of the wind.

4 He maketh his angels fpirits and his minifters a flaming fire.

5 He laid the foundations of the earth that it never fhould move at any time.

6 Thou coveredft it with the deep like as with a garment: the waters ftand in the hills.

7 At thy rebuke they flee at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid.

8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the vallies beneath even unto the place which thou hast appointed for them.

9 Thou haft fet them their bounds which they fhall not pafs neither turn again to cover the earth.

10 He fendeth the springs into the rivers which run among the hills.

12 Befide them fhall the fowls of the air have their habitation : and fing among the branches.

13 He watereth the hills from above the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.

14 He bringeth forth grafs for the cattle and green herb for the service of men;

15 That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man :

ful countenance, and bread to ftrengthen man's heart.

19 He appointed the moon for certain feafons: and the fun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness that it may be night wherein all the beafts of the foreft do move. 21 The lions roaring after their prey do feek their meat from God.

22 The fun arifeth, and they get them away together: and lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour: until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works: in wisdom haft thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches;

25 So is the great and wide fea alfo : wherein are things creeping innumerable, both fmall and great beafts.

26 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan whom thou haft made to take his paftime therein.

27 These wait all upon thee: that thou mayeft give them meat in due season.

28 When thou giveft it them, they gather it and when thou openeft

openeft thy hand, they are filled with good.

29 When thou hideft thy face, they are troubled when thou takest away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their duft.

30 When thou letteft thy breath go forth, they fhall be made: and thou fhalt renew the face of the earth.

31 The glorious majefty of the Lord fhall endure for ever: the Lord fhall rejoice in his works.

32 The earth fhall tremble at the look of him if he do but touch the hills, they shall smoke. 33 I will fing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will praise my God while I have my being.

34 And fo fhall my words please him my joy fhall be in the Lord.

35 As for finners, they fhall be confumed out of the earth, and the ungodly fhall come to an end praife thou the Lord, O my foul, praise the Lord.

14 He fuffered no man to do them wrong; but reproved even kings for their fakes;

15 Touch not mine Anointed: and do my prophets no harm.

16 Moreover, he called for a dearth upon the land and destroyed all the provifion of bread.

17 But he had fent a man before them even Jofeph, who was fold to be a bond-fervant;

18 Whose feet they hurt in the ftocks; the iron entered into his foul;

19 Until the time came that his caufe was known: the word of the Lord tried him.

20 The king fent and delivered him the prince of the people let him go free.

21 He made him lord alfo of his house and ruler of all his substance;

22 That he might inform his princes after his will: and teach his fenators wifdom.
