At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away—

ya'alu harim yerdu veka'ot el-mekom ze yasadta lahem

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down— Unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;

Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, That they might not return to cover the earth.

yashku kal-chayto saday yishberu fera'im tzema'am

They give drink to every beast of the field, The wild asses quench their thirst. .

World Messianic Bible (English numbering)

¹Bless the LORD, my soul. The LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

²He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

³He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

⁴He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.

⁵He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

⁶You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

⁷At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

⁸The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

¹⁰He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

¹¹They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

¹³He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:

¹⁵wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

¹⁶The LORD’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

¹⁷where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

²⁰You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

²¹The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

²²The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.

²³Man goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening.

²⁴LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

²⁵There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

²⁶There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

²⁷These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

²⁸You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

²⁹You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

³⁰You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

³¹Let the LORD’s glory endure forever. Let the LORD rejoice in his works.

³²He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

³³I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

³⁴Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in the LORD.

³⁵Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Praise the LORD!
