Psalms 104
1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou hast clothed thyself with praise and honour:
τῷ Δαυιδ εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον κύριε ὁ θεός μου ἐμεγαλύνθης σφόδρα ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ εὐπρέπειαν ἐνεδύσω
2 who dost robe thyself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.
ἀναβαλλόμενος φῶς ὡς ἱμάτιον ἐκτείνων τὸν οὐρανὸν ὡσεὶ δέρριν
3 Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.
ὁ στεγάζων ἐν ὕδασιν τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ ὁ τιθεὶς νέφη τὴν ἐπίβασιν αὐτοῦ ὁ περιπατῶν ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων
4 Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.
ὁ ποιῶν τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πῦρ φλέγον
5 Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.
ἐθεμελίωσεν τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσφάλειαν αὐτῆς οὐ κλιθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος
6 The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.
ἄβυσσος ὡς ἱμάτιον τὸ περιβόλαιον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων στήσονται ὕδατα
7 At thy rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of thy thunder they shall be alarmed.
ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου φεύξονται ἀπὸ φωνῆς βροντῆς σου δειλιάσουσιν
8 They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which thou hast founded for them.
ἀναβαίνουσιν ὄρη καὶ καταβαίνουσιν πεδία εἰς τόπον ὃν ἐθεμελίωσας αὐτοῖς
9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.
ὅριον ἔθου ὃ οὐ παρελεύσονται οὐδὲ ἐπιστρέψουσιν καλύψαι τὴν γῆν
10 He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.
ὁ ἐξαποστέλλων πηγὰς ἐν φάραγξιν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων διελεύσονται ὕδατα
11 They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.
ποτιοῦσιν πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ προσδέξονται ὄναγροι εἰς δίψαν αὐτῶν
12 By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.
ἐπ’ αὐτὰ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσει ἐκ μέσου τῶν πετρῶν δώσουσιν φωνήν
13 He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
ποτίζων ὄρη ἐκ τῶν ὑπερῴων αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ καρποῦ τῶν ἔργων σου χορτασθήσεται ἡ γῆ
14 He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;
ἐξανατέλλων χόρτον τοῖς κτήνεσιν καὶ χλόην τῇ δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐκ τῆς γῆς
15 and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.
καὶ οἶνος εὐφραίνει καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου τοῦ ἱλαρῦναι πρόσωπον ἐν ἐλαίῳ καὶ ἄρτος καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου στηρίζει
16 The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.
χορτασθήσεται τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου αἱ κέδροι τοῦ Λιβάνου ἃς ἐφύτευσεν
17 There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
ἐκεῖ στρουθία ἐννοσσεύσουσιν τοῦ ἐρωδιοῦ ἡ οἰκία ἡγεῖται αὐτῶν
18 The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.
ὄρη τὰ ὑψηλὰ ταῖς ἐλάφοις πέτρα καταφυγὴ τοῖς χοιρογρυλλίοις
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
ἐποίησεν σελήνην εἰς καιρούς ὁ ἥλιος ἔγνω τὴν δύσιν αὐτοῦ
20 Thou didst make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:
ἔθου σκότος καὶ ἐγένετο νύξ ἐν αὐτῇ διελεύσονται πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ
21 [even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.
σκύμνοι ὠρυόμενοι ἁρπάσαι καὶ ζητῆσαι παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ βρῶσιν αὐτοῖς
22 The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.
ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἥλιος καὶ συνήχθησαν καὶ ἐν ταῖς μάνδραις αὐτῶν κοιτασθήσονται
23 Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour till evening.
ἐξελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐργασίαν αὐτοῦ ἕως ἑσπέρας
24 How great are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou wrought them all: the earth is filled with thy creation.
ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου κύριε πάντα ἐν σοφίᾳ ἐποίησας ἐπληρώθη ἡ γῆ τῆς κτήσεώς σου
25 [So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.
αὕτη ἡ θάλασσα ἡ μεγάλη καὶ εὐρύχωρος ἐκεῖ ἑρπετά ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός ζῷα μικρὰ μετὰ μεγάλων
26 There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom thou hast made to play in it.
ἐκεῖ πλοῖα διαπορεύονται δράκων οὗτος ὃν ἔπλασας ἐμπαίζειν αὐτῷ
27 All wait upon thee, to give them [their] food in due season.
πάντα πρὸς σὲ προσδοκῶσιν δοῦναι τὴν τροφὴν αὐτοῖς εὔκαιρον
28 When thou hast given [it] them, they will gather [it]; and when thou hast opened thine hand, they shall all be filled with good.
δόντος σου αὐτοῖς συλλέξουσιν ἀνοίξαντος δέ σου τὴν χεῖρα τὰ σύμπαντα πλησθήσονται χρηστότητος
29 But when thou hast turned away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou wilt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and return to their dust.
ἀποστρέψαντος δέ σου τὸ πρόσωπον ταραχθήσονται ἀντανελεῖς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκλείψουσιν καὶ εἰς τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν ἐπιστρέψουσιν
30 Thou shalt send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
ἐξαποστελεῖς τὸ πνεῦμά σου καὶ κτισθήσονται καὶ ἀνακαινιεῖς τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς
31 Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works;
ἤτω ἡ δόξα κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα εὐφρανθήσεται κύριος ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ
32 who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
ὁ ἐπιβλέπων ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ποιῶν αὐτὴν τρέμειν ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν ὀρέων καὶ καπνίζονται
33 I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.
ᾄσω τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου ψαλῶ τῷ θεῷ μου ἕως ὑπάρχω
34 Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.
ἡδυνθείη αὐτῷ ἡ διαλογή μου ἐγὼ δὲ εὐφρανθήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ κυρίῳ
35 Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
ἐκλίποισαν ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἄνομοι ὥστε μὴ ὑπάρχειν αὐτούς εὐλόγει ἡ ψυχή μου τὸν κύριον
