3Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.

4 Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

4Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.

7At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.

8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.

8The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.

9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

9He will not always chide; Neither will he keephis angerfor ever.

9Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

10He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

10Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.

11All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

12As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

12Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.

13 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

13Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

13Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:

14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

14For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

14Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:

15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:

15As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

15And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.

16For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

16The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:

17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,

17But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;

17There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.

18 To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.

19Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens; And his kingdom ruleth over all.

19He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

21Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts, Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

21The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
