PSAL. CIV.
As the next foregoing Psalm treats of the special favours of God to his Church and People, so this declares and cele∣brates the wonderful and gracious works of God to all Man∣kind in the Creation of this visible World, and in the wise and powerful disposition of all things therein to mans use and comfort.
1 BLess the LORD, O my soul: O LORD my God, thou art very great a, thou art clothed b with honour and majesty c.
2 Who coverest d thy self with light e, as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain f.
3 Who layeth the beams of his Chambers in the waters g; who maketh the clouds his cha∣riots, who walketh upon the wings of the wind h.
4 Who maketh his angels spirits i: his mi∣nisters a flaming fire k.
5 † Who laid the foundations of the earth l, that it should not be removed m for ever n.
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep o as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains p.
7 At thy rebuke q they fled r: at the voice of thy thunder s they hasted away.
8 ‖ They go up by the mountains: they go down by the valleys t unto the place which thou hast founded for them u.
9 Thou hast set a bound x, that they may not pass over: that they turn not again to cover the earth y.
10 † He sendeth the springs z into the val∣leys, which † run among the hills a.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses b † quench their thirst.
12 By them c shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which † sing among the branches d.
13 He watereth the hills d from his cham∣bers e; the earth is satisfied f with the fruit of thy works g.
