Biblical Studies Press, 2005) [[#Verse 01.]] Praise the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are magnificent. You are robed in splendor and majesty. [[#Verse 02.]] He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain, [[#Verse 03.]] and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds. He makes the clouds his chariot, and travels on the wings of the wind. [[#Verse 04.]] He makes the winds his messengers, and the flaming fire his attendant. [[#Verse 05.]] He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be moved. [[#Verse 06.]] The watery deep covered it like a garment; the waters reached above the mountains. [[#Verse 07.]] Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off— [[#Verse 08.]] as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down— to the place you appointed for them. [[#Verse 09.]] You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again. [[#Verse 10.]] He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains. [[#Verse 11.]] They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. [[#Verse 12.]] The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes. [[#Verse 13.]] He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow. [[#Verse 14.]] He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground, [[#Verse 15.]] as well as wine that makes people glad, and olive oil to make their faces shine, as well as bread that sustains them. [[#Verse 16.]] The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted, [[#Verse 17.]] where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live. [[#Verse 18.]] The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs. [[#Verse 19.]] He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule. [[#Verse 20.]] You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around. [[#Verse 21.]] The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. [[#Verse 22.]] When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens. [[#Verse 23.]] People then go out to do their work, and they labor until evening. [[#Verse 24.]] How many living things you have made, O Lord! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made. [[#Verse 25.]] Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large. [[#Verse 26.]] The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. [[#Verse 27.]] All your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis. [[#Verse 28.]] You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food. [[#Verse 29.]] When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life’s breath, they die and return to dust. [[#Verse 30.]] When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground. [[#Verse 31.]] May the splendor of the Lord endure. May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made. [[#Verse 32.]] He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder. [[#Verse 33.]] I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist. [[#Verse 34.]] May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will rejoice in the Lord. [[#Verse 35.]] May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish. Praise the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ###### Verse 28. ###### Verse 29. ###### Verse 30. ###### Verse 31. ###### Verse 32. ###### Verse 33. ###### Verse 33. ###### Verse 34. ###### Verse 35. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
