المَزامِير 104

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي الرَّبَّ. مَا أَعْظَمَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي فَأَنْتَ مُتَسَرْبِلٌ بِالْمَجْدِ وَالْجَلالِ.

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ الْلابِسُ النُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، وَالْبَاسِطُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَخَيْمَةٍ.

He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent,

٣ 3 الْمُقِيمُ بَيْتَكَ فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ الْعُلْيَا، الْجَاعِلُ مِنَ السُّحُبِ مَرْكَبَتَكَ، السَّائِرُ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيحِ،

laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind.

٤ 4 الصَّانِعُ ملائِكَتَكَ رِيَاحاً وَخُدَّامَكَ لَهِيبَ نَارٍ.

He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants.

٥ 5 الْمُؤَسِّسُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِهَا فَلَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ.

He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

٦ 6 غَمَرْتَهَا بِاللُّجَجِ كَثَوْبٍ فَتَغَطَّتْ رُؤُوسُ الْجِبَالِ بِالْمِيَاهِ.

You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

٧ 7 مِنْ زَجْرِكَ تَهْرُبُ الْمِيَاهُ، وَمِنْ قَصْفِ رَعْدِكَ تَفِرُّ.

At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away—

٨ 8 ارْتَفَعَتِ الْجِبَالُ وَغَاصَتِ الْوِهَادُ، إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي خَصَّصْتَهُ لَهَا.

the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them—

٩ 9 وَضَعْتَ لِلْبَحْرِ حَدّاً لَا يَتَعَدَّاهُ حَتَّى لَا تَعُودَ مِيَاهُهُ تَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ.

You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.

١٠ 10 أَنْتَ الْمُفَجِّرُ الْيَنَابِيعَ فِي الأَوْدِيَةِ، فَتَجْرِي بَيْنَ الْجِبَالِ.

He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains.

١١ 11 تَسْقِي جَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَرْوِي مِنْهَا حَمِيرُ الْوَحْشِ عَطَشَهَا.

They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

١٢ 12 إِلَى جُوَارِهَا تُعَشِّشُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ، وَتُغَرِّدُ بَيْنَ الأَغْصَانِ.

The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches.

١٣ 13 تَسْقِي الْجِبَالَ مِنْ أَمْطَارِ سَمَائِكَ، وَتَمْتَلِىءُ الأَرْضُ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ أَعْمَالِكَ.

He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works.

١٤ 14 أَنْتَ الْمُنْبِتُ عُشْباً لِلْبَهَائِمِ وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ الإِنْسَانِ، لإِنْتَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ،

He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth:

١٥ 15 وَخَمْرٍ تُفَرِّحُ قَلْبَ الإِنْسَانِ وَتُوَرِّدُ وَجْهَهُ فَيَلْمَعُ كَبَرِيقِ الزَّيْتِ، وَخُبْزٍ يُسْنِدُ قَلْبَهُ.

wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart.

١٦ 16 تَرْتَوِي أَشْجَارُ الرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ الَّذِي غَرَسَهُ.

The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,

١٧ 17 حَيْثُ تَبْنِي الطُّيُورُ أَوْكَارَهَا، أَمَّا اللَّقْلَقُ فَفِي السَّرْوِ مَبِيتُهُ.

where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses.

١٨ 18 الْجِبَالُ الْعَالِيَةُ مَوْطِنُ الْوُعُولِ، وَالصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers.

١٩ 19 أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ الْقَمَرَ لِتَحْدِيدِ مَوَاقِيتِ الشُّهُورِ، وَالشَّمْسُ تَعْرِفُ مَوْعِدَ مَغْرِبِهَا.

He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set.

٢٠ 20 تُحِلُّ الظُّلْمَةَ فَيَصِيرُ لَيْلٌ يَجُوسُ فِيهِ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ الْغَابَةِ.

You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl.

٢١ 21 تُزَمْجِرُ الأَشْبَالُ طَلَباً لِفَرِيسَتِهَا مُلْتَمِسَةً طَعَامَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ.

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

٢٢ 22 وَمَا إِنْ تُشْرِقُ الشَّمْسُ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى عَرَائِنِهَا وَتَرْبِضَ فِيهَا

The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا الإِنْسَانُ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ وَشُغْلِهِ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

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

٢٤ 24 يَا رَبُّ مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَكَ، كُلَّهَا صَنَعْتَ بِحِكْمَةٍ، فَامْتَلأَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ غِنَاكَ.

How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.

٢٥ 25 هَذَا الْبَحْرُ الْكَبِيرُ الْوَاسِعُ، الَّذِي يَعِجُّ بِمَخْلُوقَاتٍ لَا تُحْصَى مِنْ حَيَوَانَاتٍ مَائِيَّةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ وَكَبِيرَةٍ

Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.

٢٦ 26 تَجْرِي فِيهِ السُّفُنُ، تَمْرَحُ فِيهِ الْحِيتَانُ الَّتِي خَلَقْتَهَا.

There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there.

٢٧ 27 تَلْتَفِتُ جَمِيعُهَا إِلَيْكَ كَيْ تَرْزُقَهَا طَعَامَهَا فِي أَوَانِهِ.

All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season.

٢٨ 28 أَنْتَ تُعْطِيهَا وَهِيَ تَلْتَقِطُ، تَبْسُطُ يَدَكَ لَهَا فَتَشْبَعُ خَيْراً.

When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

٢٩ 29 تَحْجُبُ عَنْهَا وَجْهَكَ فَتَفْزَعُ. تَقْبِضُ أَرْوَاحَهَا فَتَمُوتُ، وَإِلَى تُرَابِهَا تَعُودُ.

When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ ثَانِيَةً وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ.

When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.

٣١ 31 مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ يَدُومُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. الرَّبُّ يَفْرَحُ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works.

٣٢ 32 يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَجِفُ، يَمَسُّ الْجِبَالَ فَتَمْتَلِئُ دُخَاناً

He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.

٣٣ 33 أُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ وَأَشْدُو لإِلَهِي مَادُمْتُ حَيًّا.

I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِالرَّبِّ.

May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

٣٥ 35 لِيَنْقَطِعِ الْخُطَاةُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلْيَبِدِ الأَشْرَارُ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي الرَّبَّ. هَلِّلُويَا.

May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah!
