HYMN XIII.

BLESS the Lord, O my Soul: O Lord my God, thou art very great, thou art cloathed with Honour and

Majefty.

Who coverest thy felf with Light, as with a Garment; who ftretchest 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 Earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Of old haft thou laid the Foundation of the Earth; and the Heavens are the Work of thy Hands.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: Yea, all of them shall wax old like a Garment; as a Vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.

But thou art the fame, and thy Years shall have no End. O Lord, how manifold are thy Works! in Wisdom haft thou made them all; the Earth is full of thy Riches. Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the Face of the Earth.

The Glory of the Lord shall endure for ever; the Lord shall rejoice in his Works.

He looketh on the Earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the Hills, and they smoke.

I will fing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will fing Praise unto my God, while I have my Being.

These see the Works of the Lord, and his Wonders in the Deep.

For he commandeth, and raiseth a stormy Wind, which lifteth up the Waves thereof.

They mount up to the Heaven, they go down again to the Depths, their Soul is melted because of Trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken Man, and are at their Wits end.

Then they cry unto the Lord in their Trouble, and he bringeth them out of their Distresses.

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 defired Haven.

And there he maketh the Hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a City for Habitation.

He poureth Contempt upon Princes, and causeth them to wander in the Wilderness, where there is no Way.

Yet fetteth he the Poor on high from Affliction, and maketh him Families like a Flock.

Whoso is wife, and will observe these Things, even they shall understand the loving Kindness of the Lord.

That thy Beloved may be delivered: Save with thy right Hand, and answer me.

Praiseye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole Heart, in the Assembly of the Upright, and in the Congregation.
