O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!
You are clothed with majesty and glory,

not to be moved forever;
with the ocean, as with a garment, you covered it;
above the mountains the waters stood. Response

that wind among the mountains.
Beside them the birds of heaven dwell;
from among the branches they send forth their song. Response

the earth is replete with the fruit of your works.
You raise grass for the cattle,
and vegetation for man's use,
Producing bread from the earth. Response

In wisdom you have wrought them all -
the earth is full of your creatures.
Bless the LORD, O my soul! Alleluia. Response
