PRAISE POST 7

                                              PRAISE POST
               7




Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God,
Thou art very great. Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.

Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment. Who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain. Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters. Who maketh the clouds His chariot. Who walketh upon the wings of the wind.

Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire. Who laid the foundations of the world, that it should not be removed forever. Thou coverest it with the deep as with a garment. The waters stood above the mountains. At Thy rebuke they fled: At the voice of Thy thunder they hasted  away.

They go up by the mountains. They go down by the valleys unto the place which Thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over. That they turn not again to cover the earth.

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.

By them shall the fowls of the heavens have their habitation, which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from His chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.

He causes 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 makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.

The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He has planted; where birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. He appointed the moon for the seasons: The sun knows his going down.Thou makest  darkness and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth.

The young lions roar after their prey and seek their meat from God.

The sun ariseth; they gather themselves together and lie down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
