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:
| בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ |
2 who dost robe thyself with light as with a garment; spreading out the heaven as a curtain.
| עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ |
3 Who covers his chambers with waters; who makes the clouds his chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.
| הַמְקָרֶֽה בַמַּיִם עֲֽלִיּוֹתָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבוֹ הַֽמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ |
4 Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flaming fire.
| עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ |
5 Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.
| יָֽסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ |
6 The deep, as it were a garment, is his covering: the waters shall stand on the hills.
| תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃ |
7 At thy rebuke they shall flee; at the voice of thy thunder they shall be alarmed.
| מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ |
8 They go up to the mountains, and down to the plains, to the place which thou hast founded for them.
| יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ |
9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.
| גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
10 He sends forth his fountains among the valleys: the waters shall run between the mountains.
| הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ |
11 They shall give drink to all the wild beasts of the field: the wild asses shall take [of them] to [quench] their thirst.
| יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃ |
12 By them shall the birds of the sky lodge: they shall utter a voice out of the midst of the rocks.
| עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכּוֹן מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ |
13 He waters the mountains from his chambers: the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
| מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
14 He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men, to bring bread out of the earth;
| מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
15 and wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil: and bread strengthens man's heart.
| וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ |
16 The trees of the plain shall be full [of sap]; [even] the cedars of Libanus which he has planted.
| יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃ |
17 There the sparrows will build their nests; and the house of the heron takes the lead among them.
| אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ |
18 The high mountains are a refuge for the stags, [and] the rock for the rabbits.
| הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ |
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
| עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמֶשׁ יָדַע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃ |
20 Thou didst make darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad:
| תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בּֽוֹ־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃ |
21 [even] young lions roaring for prey, and to seek meat for themselves from God.
| הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָֽם׃ |
22 The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.
| תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעוֹנֹתָם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ |
23 Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour till evening.
| יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלוֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹדָתוֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ |
24 How great are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou wrought them all: the earth is filled with thy creation.
| מָֽה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְֽהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ |
25 [So is] this great and wide sea: there are things creeping innumerable, small animals and great.
| זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדוֹל וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָֽׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ |
26 There go the ships; [and] this dragon whom thou hast made to play in it.
| שָׁם אֳנִיּוֹת יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶֽה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃ |
27 All wait upon thee, to give them [their] food in due season.
| כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ |
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.
| תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָֽדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃ |
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.
| תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִֽבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ |
30 Thou shalt send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
| תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָֽה׃ |
31 Let the glory of the Lord be for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works;
| יְהִי כְבוֹד יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ |
32 who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble; who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
| הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ |
33 I will sing to the Lord while I live; I will sing praise to my God while I exist.
| אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ |
34 Let my meditation be sweet to him: and I will rejoice in the Lord.
| יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָֽה׃ |
35 Let the sinners fail from off the earth, and transgressors, so that they shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
| יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עוֹד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
