Psalm 104:1–9, 25, 37 | Liturgical Calendar

Benedic, anima mea

1

Bless the Lord, O my soul; *

O Lord my God, how excellent is your greatness!

you are clothed with majesty and splendor.

2

You wrap yourself with light as with a cloak *

and spread out the heavens like a curtain.

3

You lay the beams of your chambers in the waters above; *

you make the clouds your chariot;

you ride on the wings of the wind.

4

You make the winds your messengers *

and flames of fire your servants.

5

You have set the earth upon its foundations, *

so that it never shall move at any time.

6

You covered it with the Deep as with a mantle; *

the waters stood higher than the mountains.

7

At your rebuke they fled; *

at the voice of your thunder they hastened away.

8

They went up into the hills and down to the valleys beneath, *

to the places you had appointed for them.

9

You set the limits that they should not pass; *

they shall not again cover the earth.

25

O Lord, how manifold are your works! *

in wisdom you have made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

37

Bless the Lord, O my soul. *

Hallelujah!
