Open my lips, O Lord, *
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.

Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.

Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.

A Psalm

Psalm 104

Benedic, anima mea

Bless the Lord, O my soul; O Lord my God, how excellent is your greatness! you are clothed with majesty and splendor.

You wrap yourself with light as with a cloak and spread out the heavens like a curtain.

You lay the beams of your chambers in the waters above; you make the clouds your chariot; you ride on the wings of the wind.

You make the winds your messengers and flames of fire your servants.

You have set the earth upon its foundations, so that it never shall move at any time.

You covered it with the Deep as with a mantle; the waters stood higher than the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hastened away.

They went up into the hills and down to the valleys beneath, to the places you had appointed for them.

You set the limits that they should not pass; they shall not again cover the earth.

You send the springs into the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

All the beasts of the field drink their fill from them, and the wild asses quench their thirst.

Beside them the birds of the air make their nests and sing among the branches.

You water the mountains from your dwelling on high; the earth is fully satisfied by the fruit of your works.

You make grass grow for flocks and herds and plants to serve mankind;

That they may bring forth food from the earth, and wine to gladden our hearts,

Oil to make a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen the heart.

The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

In which the birds build their nests, and in whose tops the stork makes his dwelling.

The high hills are a refuge for the mountain goats, and the stony cliffs for the rock badgers.

You appointed the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows the time of its setting.

You make darkness that it may be night, in which all the beasts of the forest prowl.

The lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.

The sun rises, and they slip away and lay themselves down in their dens.

Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.

O Lord, how manifold are your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, creatures both small and great.

There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan, which you have made for the sport of it.

All of them look to you to give them their food in due season.
