Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters;

Who maketh the clouds his char

iot;

Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh winds his messengers;

His ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth,

That it should not be moved for

ever.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture;

The waters stood above the mountains.

At thy rebuke they fled;

At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away;

They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys,

Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

He watereth the mountains from his chambers:

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man;

That he may bring forth food out of the earth:

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man,

And oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.

The trees of the LORD are satisfied;

The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high mountains are for the wild goats;

The rocks are a refuge for the

Thou hast set a bound that they conies. may not pass over;

That they turn not again to cover the earth.

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys;

They run among the mountains: They give drink to every beast of the field;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation,

They sing among the branches.

He appointed the moon for sea

sons:

The sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night;

Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

The young lions roar after their prey,

And seek their food from God.

The sun ariseth, they get them. away, and lay them down in their dens.

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

O LORD, how manifold are thy works!

In wisdom hast thou made them all:

The earth is full of thy riches. Yonder is the sea, great and wide,

Wherein are things creeping innumerable,

Both small and great beasts.
There go the ships;

There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to take his pastime therein.

These wait all upon thee,

That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

That thou givest unto them they gather;

Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled;

Thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created;

And thou renewest the face of the ground.

Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever;

Let the Lord rejoice in his works: Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth;

He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Because they rebelled against the words of God,

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;

And they draw near unto the gates of death.

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

He sendeth his word, and healeth them, and delivereth them from their destructions.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

And let them offer the sacrifices

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad because they be quiet;

So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

And lifteth up the needy from the

PSALM 114

WHEN Israel went forth out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like young sheep. What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like

rams;

Ye little hills, like young sheep? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the God of Jacob;
