21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his servants who do his will.

22 Bless the Lord, all his works, in all the places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Psalm 103

[David's Psalm of the Creation of the World.]

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God! Thou art wonderfully great, Thou art clothed with glory and majesty;

2 Thou art clothed with light as with a garment, and stretched out the heavens as a tent;

3 Thou hast built Thy palaces on high over the waters, Thou hast made the clouds Thy chariot, Thou hast walked on the wings of the wind.

4 Thou makest spirits Thy angels, Thy servants a blazing fire.

5 Thou hast set the earth upon firm foundations: it shall not be shaken for ever and ever.

6 Thou hast covered it with an abyss as with a garment, and there are waters on the mountains.

7 From thy rebuke they flee, at the voice of thy thunder they quickly depart;

8 they go up into the mountains, they go down into the valleys, to the place which you have appointed for them.

9 Thou hast set a boundary, which they shall not pass over, neither shall they return to cover the earth.

10 Thou hast sent springs into the valleys: between the mountains flow [waters],

11 They give water to all the beasts of the field; wild asses quench their thirst.

12 And the birds of the air dwell with them, and out of the midst of the branches they make a voice.

13 Thou shalt water the mountains from Thy heights, and the earth shall be satisfied with the fruits of Thy works.

14 Thou dost bring forth grass for cattle, and herbs for the benefit of man, to bring forth food out of the earth,

15 And the wine that rejoiceth a man's heart, and the oil that makes his face shine, and the bread that strengthens a man's heart.

16 The trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted, are satisfied;

17 Birds nest on them: spruces are the abode of the stork,
