المَزامِير 104

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

Let every part of me praise the Lord! Lord my God, you are so great, clothed with majesty and splendor!

٢ 2 أَنْتَ الْلابِسُ النُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، وَالْبَاسِطُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَخَيْمَةٍ.

You wear light as your clothing; you stretch out the fabric of the heavens.

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

You place the roof-beams of your house in the rainclouds. You make the clouds your chariots. You ride on the wings of the wind.

٤ 4 الصَّانِعُ ملائِكَتَكَ رِيَاحاً وَخُدَّامَكَ لَهِيبَ نَارٍ.

You make your angels winds, and your servants flames of fire.

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

You set the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken.

٦ 6 غَمَرْتَهَا بِاللُّجَجِ كَثَوْبٍ فَتَغَطَّتْ رُؤُوسُ الْجِبَالِ بِالْمِيَاهِ.

It was clothed with ocean depths—the waters even covered the mountains—

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

but at your command the waters fled; at the sound of your thunder they rushed away.

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

The mountains rose up and the valleys sank down to where you had determined.

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

You set a boundary for the oceans so they would not come back and cover the earth.

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

You make springs flow into the streams, running down between the hills.

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

They provide water for all the wild animals, and wild donkeys quench their thirst.

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

Birds build their nests in trees along the streams, singing from among the leaves.

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

You send down rain on the mountains from your home high above; you fill the earth with good things.

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

You make the grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to eat—crops produced by the earth for food,

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

and wine to make them happy, olive oil to make their faces shine, and bread to make them strong.

١٦ 16 تَرْتَوِي أَشْجَارُ الرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ الَّذِي غَرَسَهُ.

The Lord's trees are well-watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

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

Sparrows make their nests there; herons make their homes in the tall trees.

١٨ 18 الْجِبَالُ الْعَالِيَةُ مَوْطِنُ الْوُعُولِ، وَالصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

Wild goats live high in the mountains; hyraxes hide among the rocks.

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

You made the moon to mark the months, and the sun knows when to set.

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

You make darkness fall and the night comes, the time when the forest animals come out to hunt.

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

The young lions roar as they seek their prey, looking for the food that God provides for them.

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

When the sun rises they return to their dens to rest.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا الإِنْسَانُ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ وَشُغْلِهِ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

Then people leave for work, working until the evening.

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

Lord, how many different things you have made—all of them wisely created! The earth is full of your creatures.

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

Consider the sea, deep and wide, full of all kinds of living things, large and small.

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

Ships sail there, and Leviathan, that you made to play in it.

٢٧ 27 تَلْتَفِتُ جَمِيعُهَا إِلَيْكَ كَيْ تَرْزُقَهَا طَعَامَهَا فِي أَوَانِهِ.

All creatures look to you to give them food at the right time.

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

When you provide it, they gather it up. You hand out food to them, and they are well-fed.

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

When you turn away from them, they're 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 breath, they are created, and life covers the earth again.

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

May the Lord's glory last forever! The Lord is happy with all he has made.

٣٢ 32 يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَجِفُ، يَمَسُّ الْجِبَالَ فَتَمْتَلِئُ دُخَاناً

He only has to look at the earth and it trembles; mountains pour out smoke at his touch.

٣٣ 33 أُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ وَأَشْدُو لإِلَهِي مَادُمْتُ حَيًّا.

I will sing to the Lord for as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God my whole life.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِالرَّبِّ.

May he be pleased with my thoughts because I am happy in the Lord.

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

Let sinners be destroyed from the earth; let the wicked cease to exist. Let every part of me praise the Lord!
