اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 104

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، قَدْ عَظُمْتَ جِدًّا. مَجْدًا وَجَلَالًا لَبِسْتَ.

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God! thou art very great! Thou art clothed with glory and majesty!

٢ 2 ٱللَّابِسُ ٱلنُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، ٱلْبَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَشُقَّةٍ.

He covereth himself with light as with a garment; He spreadeth out the heavens like a curtain;

٣ 3 ٱلْمُسَقِّفُ عَلَالِيَهُ بِٱلْمِيَاهِ. ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مَرْكَبَتَهُ، ٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

He layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; He maketh the clouds his chariot; He rideth upon the wings of the wind.

٤ 4 ٱلصَّانِعُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ رِيَاحًا، وَخُدَّامَهُ نَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً.

He maketh the winds his messengers, The flaming lightnings his ministers.

٥ 5 ٱلْمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِهَا فَلَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

He established the earth on its foundations; It shall not be removed for ever.

٦ 6 كَسَوْتَهَا ٱلْغَمْرَ كَثَوْبٍ. فَوْقَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَقِفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ.

Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains!

٧ 7 مِنِ ٱنْتِهَارِكَ تَهْرُبُ، مِنْ صَوْتِ رَعْدِكَ تَفِرُّ.

At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

٨ 8 تَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. تَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱلْبِقَاعِ، إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَسَّسْتَهُ لَهَا.

The mountains rose, the valleys sank, In the place which thou didst appoint for them.

٩ 9 وَضَعْتَ لَهَا تَخْمًا لَا تَتَعَدَّاهُ. لَا تَرْجِعُ لِتُغَطِّيَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

Thou hast established a bound which the waters may not pass, That they may not return, and cover the earth.

١٠ 10 اَلْمُفَجِّرُ عُيُونًا فِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ. بَيْنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَجْرِي.

He sendeth forth the springs in brooks; They run among the mountains;

١١ 11 تَسْقِي كُلَّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ. تَكْسِرُ ٱلْفِرَاءُ ظَمْأَهَا.

They give drink to all the beasts of the forest; In them the wild asses quench their thirst.

١٢ 12 فَوْقَهَا طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَسْكُنُ. مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ تُسَمِّعُ صَوْتًا.

About them the birds of heaven have their habitation; They sing among the branches.

١٣ 13 ٱلسَّاقِي ٱلْجِبَالَ مِنْ عَلَالِيهِ. مِنْ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِكَ تَشْبَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

He watereth the hills from his chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works!

١٤ 14 ٱلْمُنْبِتُ عُشْبًا لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِخْرَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

He causeth grass to spring up for cattle, And herbage for the service of man, To bring forth food out of the earth,

١٥ 15 وَخَمْرٍ تُفَرِّحُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِلْمَاعِ وَجْهِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتِ، وَخُبْزٍ يُسْنِدُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

And wine that gladdeneth the heart of man, Making his face to shine more than oil, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.

١٦ 16 تَشْبَعُ أَشْجَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ.

The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

١٧ 17 حَيْثُ تُعَشِّشُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْعَصَافِيرُ. أَمَّا ٱللَّقْلَقُ فَٱلسَّرْوُ بَيْتُهُ.

There the birds build their nests; In the cypresses the stork hath her abode.

١٨ 18 ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلْعَالِيَةُ لِلْوُعُولِ، ٱلصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, And the rocks for the conies.

١٩ 19 صَنَعَ ٱلْقَمَرَ لِلْمَوَاقِيتِ. ٱلشَّمْسُ تَعْرِفُ مَغْرِبَهَا.

He appointed the moon to mark seasons; The sun knoweth when to go down.

٢٠ 20 تَجْعَلُ ظُلْمَةً فَيَصِيرُ لَيْلٌ. فِيهِ يَدِبُّ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night, When all the beasts of the forest go forth!

٢١ 21 ٱلْأَشْبَالُ تُزَمْجِرُ لِتَخْطَفَ، وَلِتَلْتَمِسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ طَعَامَهَا.

The young lions roar for prey, And seek their food from God.

٢٢ 22 تُشْرِقُ ٱلشَّمْسُ فَتَجْتَمِعُ، وَفِي مَآوِيهَا تَرْبِضُ.

When the sun ariseth, they withdraw themselves, And lie down in their dens.

٢٣ 23 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، وَإِلَى شُغْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

Man goeth forth to his work, And to his labor, until the evening.

٢٤ 24 مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَكَ يَارَبُّ! كُلَّهَا بِحِكْمَةٍ صَنَعْتَ. مَلْآنةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ غِنَاكَ.

O LORD! how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all! The earth is full of thy riches!

٢٥ 25 هَذَا ٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْوَاسِعُ ٱلْأَطْرَافِ. هُنَاكَ دَبَّابَاتٌ بِلَا عَدَدٍ. صِغَارُ حَيَوَانٍ مَعَ كِبَارٍ.

Lo! this great and wide sea! In it are moving creatures without number, Animals small and great.

٢٦ 26 هُنَاكَ تَجْرِي ٱلسُّفُنُ. لِوِيَاثَانُ هَذَا خَلَقْتَهُ لِيَلْعَبَ فِيهِ.

There go the ships; There is the leviathan, which thou hast made to play therein.

٢٧ 27 كُلُّهَا إِيَّاكَ تَتَرَجَّى لِتَرْزُقَهَا قُوتَهَا فِي حِينِهِ.

All these wait on thee To give them their food in due season.

٢٨ 28 تُعْطِيهَا فَتَلْتَقِطُ. تَفْتَحُ يَدَكَ فَتَشْبَعُ خَيْرًا.

Thou givest it to them, they gather it; Thou openest thine hand, they are satisfied with good.

٢٩ 29 تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ فَتَرْتَاعُ. تَنْزِعُ أَرْوَاحَهَا فَتَمُوتُ، وَإِلَى تُرَابِهَا تَعُودُ.

Thou hidest thy face, they are confounded; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to the dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ، وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, And thou renewest the face of the earth.

٣١ 31 يَكُونُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. يَفْرَحُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever; The LORD shall rejoice in his works;

٣٢ 32 ٱلنَّاظِرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَعِدُ. يَمَسُّ ٱلْجِبَالَ فَتُدَخِّنُ.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

٣٣ 33 أُغَنِّي لِلرَّبِّ فِي حَيَاتِي. أُرَنِّمُ لِإِلَهِي مَا دُمْتُ مَوْجُودًا.

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live, I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِٱلرَّبِّ.

May my meditation be acceptable to him! I will rejoice in the LORD.

٣٥ 35 لِتُبَدِ ٱلْخُطَاةُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَا يَكُونُوا بَعْدُ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. هَلِّلُويَا.

May sinners perish from the earth, And the wicked be no more! Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise ye the LORD!
