PSALMS. Chapter 104. My soul, bless thou the Lord; my Lord God, thou art magnified greatly. Thou hast clothed acknowledging and fairness; and thou art clothed with light, as with a cloth. And thou stretchest forth heaven as a skin; and thou coverest with waters the higher parts thereof. Which settest a cloud thy ascending; which goest on the feathers of winds. Which makest spirits thine angels; and thy ministers a burning fire. Which hast founded the earth on his stableness; it shall not be bowed into the world of world. The depth of waters as a cloth is the clothing thereof; waters shall stand on hills. Those or they shall flee from thy blaming; men shall be afeared of the voice of thy thunder. Hills go up, and fields go down; into the place which thou hast founded to those or them. Thou hast set a term, which they shall not pass; neither those or they shall be turned, for to cover the earth. And thou sendest out wells into great valleys; waters shall pass betwixt the midst of hills. All the beasts of the field shall drink; wild asses shall abide in their thirst, that is, to be filled in their thirst. The Birds of the air shall dwell on those; from the midst of the stones they shall give voices. And thou moistest the hills of their higher things; the earth shall be ful filled of the fruit of thy works. And thou bringest forth hay to beasts; and herb to the service of men. That thou bring forth bread of the earth; and that wine make glad the heart of men. That he make glad the face with oil; and that bread make steadfast the heart of man. The trees of the field shall be full-filled, and the cedars of the Lebanon, which he planted; sparrows shall make nest there. The house of the gyrfalcon is the leader of those or them; high hills be refuge to harts; the stone is refuge to urchins. He made the moon into times; the sun knew his going down. Thou hast set darknesses, and night is made; all beasts of the wood shall go therein. Lions’ whelps roaring for to ravish; and to seek of God meat to them-selves. The sun is risen, and those or they be gathered together; and those or they shall be set in their couches. A man shall go out to his work; and to his working, till to the eventide. Lord, thy works be magnified full much, thou hast made all things in wisdom; the earth is filled with thy possessions. This sea is great and large to hands; there be creeping beasts, of which is no number. Little beasts with the great; ships shall pass there. This dragon which thou hast formed, for to scorn him. All things abide of thee; that thou give to them meat in time. When thou shalt give to them, they shall gather; when thou shalt open thine hand, all things shall be filled with goodness. But when thou shalt turn away thy face, they shall be troubled; thou shalt take away the spirit of them, and they shall fail; and they shall turn again into their dust. Send out thy spirit, and they shall be formed of the new or reformed of new; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. The glory of the Lord be into the world; the Lord shall be glad in his works. Which beholdeth the earth, and maketh it to tremble; which toucheth hills, and those or they smoke. I shall sing to the Lord in my life; I shall say psalm to my God, as long as I am. My speech be merry or mirth to him; forsooth I shall delight in the Lord. Sinners fail from the earth, and wicked men fail, so that they be not; my soul, bless thou the Lord.
