May the LORD find pleasure in the living things he has made! 32 He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder. 33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist! 34 May my thoughts be pleasing to him! I will rejoice in the LORD. 35 May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!
