المَزامِير 104

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

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great; you have clothed yourself with praise and honor:

٢ 2 أَنْتَ الْلابِسُ النُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، وَالْبَاسِطُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَخَيْمَةٍ.

who do robe yourself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.

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

Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.

٤ 4 الصَّانِعُ ملائِكَتَكَ رِيَاحاً وَخُدَّامَكَ لَهِيبَ نَارٍ.

Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.

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

Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.

٦ 6 غَمَرْتَهَا بِاللُّجَجِ كَثَوْبٍ فَتَغَطَّتْ رُؤُوسُ الْجِبَالِ بِالْمِيَاهِ.

The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.

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

At your rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of your thunder they shall be alarmed.

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

They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which you have founded for them.

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

You have set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.

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

He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.

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

They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.

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

By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.

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

He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of your works.

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

He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;

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

and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.

١٦ 16 تَرْتَوِي أَشْجَارُ الرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ الَّذِي غَرَسَهُ.

The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.

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

There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.

١٨ 18 الْجِبَالُ الْعَالِيَةُ مَوْطِنُ الْوُعُولِ، وَالصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.

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

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.

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

You did make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:

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

[even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.

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

The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا الإِنْسَانُ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ وَشُغْلِهِ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labor till evening.

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

How great are your works, O Lord! in wisdom have you wrought them all: the earth is filled with your creation.

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

[So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.

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

There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom you have made to play in it.

٢٧ 27 تَلْتَفِتُ جَمِيعُهَا إِلَيْكَ كَيْ تَرْزُقَهَا طَعَامَهَا فِي أَوَانِهِ.

All wait upon you, to give them [their] food in due season.

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

When you have given [it] them, they will gather [it]; and when you have opened your hand, they shall all be filled with good.

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

But when you have turned away your face, they shall be troubled: you will take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ ثَانِيَةً وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ.

You shall send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created; and you shall renew the face of the earth.

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

Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works;

٣٢ 32 يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَجِفُ، يَمَسُّ الْجِبَالَ فَتَمْتَلِئُ دُخَاناً

who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

٣٣ 33 أُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ وَأَشْدُو لإِلَهِي مَادُمْتُ حَيًّا.

I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِالرَّبِّ.

Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.

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

Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
