< Psalms 104 >

1 Let every part of me praise the Lord! Lord my God, you are so great, clothed with majesty and splendor!
Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku! Betapa agung Engkau, ya TUHAN Allahku! Engkau berpakaian kemegahan dan kemuliaan,
2 You wear light as your clothing; you stretch out the fabric of the heavens.
dan berselubung cahaya. Engkau membentangkan langit seperti kemah,
3 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.
dan membangun Rumah-Mu di atas air di langit. Awan-awan Kaujadikan kereta-Mu, Engkau mengendarai sayap angin.
4 You make your angels winds, and your servants flames of fire.
Angin Kaujadikan utusan-Mu, dan kilat pelayan-Mu.
5 You set the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken.
Dengan kukuh bumi Kaupasang pada alasnya, sehingga tak akan goyang untuk selamanya.
6 It was clothed with ocean depths—the waters even covered the mountains—
Engkau menyelubunginya dengan samudra raya, airnya menggenangi puncak-puncak pegunungan.
7 but at your command the waters fled; at the sound of your thunder they rushed away.
Waktu Kauhardik, air itu mengalir, mengalir dengan deras karena gemuruh suara-Mu.
8 The mountains rose up and the valleys sank down to where you had determined.
Air mengalir melalui gunung-gunung ke dalam lembah, ke tempat yang Kausediakan baginya.
9 You set a boundary for the oceans so they would not come back and cover the earth.
Kautentukan batas-batas yang tak boleh ia lalui, supaya jangan kembali menggenangi bumi.
10 You make springs flow into the streams, running down between the hills.
Engkau membualkan mata air di lembah-lembah, anak sungai mengalir di antara bukit-bukit,
11 They provide water for all the wild animals, and wild donkeys quench their thirst.
untuk memberi minum semua binatang di ladang, dan melepaskan haus keledai-keledai hutan.
12 Birds build their nests in trees along the streams, singing from among the leaves.
Di dekatnya burung-burung membuat sarang; mereka berkicau di antara daun-daunan.
13 You send down rain on the mountains from your home high above; you fill the earth with good things.
Dari langit Kauturunkan hujan di pegunungan, bumi penuh dengan hasil karya-Mu.
14 You make the grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to eat—crops produced by the earth for food,
Engkau menumbuhkan rumput untuk hewan, dan bagi manusia segala macam tanaman. Maka ia dapat bercocok tanam,
15 and wine to make them happy, olive oil to make their faces shine, and bread to make them strong.
dan menghasilkan air anggur yang menyenangkan. Juga minyak zaitun yang membuat mukanya berseri, dan makanan yang memberi dia tenaga.
16 The Lord's trees are well-watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
Pohon-pohon TUHAN mendapat hujan berlimpah pohon cemara Libanon yang ditanam-Nya sendiri.
17 Sparrows make their nests there; herons make their homes in the tall trees.
Di situ bersaranglah burung-burung, burung ranggung bersarang di puncaknya.
18 Wild goats live high in the mountains; hyraxes hide among the rocks.
Gunung-gunung tinggi menjadi tempat kambing hutan; pelanduk bersembunyi di batu karang.
19 You made the moon to mark the months, and the sun knows when to set.
Engkau membuat bulan menjadi penanda waktu, matahari tahu saat terbenamnya.
20 You make darkness fall and the night comes, the time when the forest animals come out to hunt.
Bila Engkau menurunkan gelap, hari menjadi malam, dan semua binatang hutan berkeliaran.
21 The young lions roar as they seek their prey, looking for the food that God provides for them.
Singa-singa muda mengaum mencari mangsa, meminta makanan yang disediakan Allah.
22 When the sun rises they return to their dens to rest.
Bila matahari terbit, mereka menyingkir dan berbaring di tempat persembunyiannya.
23 Then people leave for work, working until the evening.
Lalu keluarlah manusia untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, dan terus bekerja sampai hari senja.
24 Lord, how many different things you have made—all of them wisely created! The earth is full of your creatures.
Betapa banyak karya-Mu, TUHAN, semuanya Kaujadikan dengan bijaksana; bumi penuh dengan ciptaan-Mu.
25 Consider the sea, deep and wide, full of all kinds of living things, large and small.
Lihatlah laut yang luas terbentang, dengan makhluk besar kecil tak terbilang.
26 Ships sail there, and Leviathan, that you made to play in it.
Di situ kapal-kapal berlayar, dan Lewiatan, naga laut ciptaan-Mu, bermain-main.
27 All creatures look to you to give them food at the right time.
Mereka semua mengharapkan Engkau, untuk mendapat makanan pada waktunya.
28 When you provide it, they gather it up. You hand out food to them, and they are well-fed.
Engkau memberi, dan mereka mengumpulkannya, Engkau menyediakannya, dan mereka makan sampai puas.
29 When you turn away from them, they're terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
Bila Engkau berpaling, mereka takut; bila Kauambil napasnya, mereka binasa, dan kembali menjadi debu seperti semula.
30 When you send your breath, they are created, and life covers the earth again.
Tetapi bila mereka Kauberi napas, mereka dijadikan; Engkau memberi hidup baru kepada bumi.
31 May the Lord's glory last forever! The Lord is happy with all he has made.
Semoga keagungan TUHAN tetap selama-lamanya! Semoga Ia gembira dengan segala ciptaan-Nya!
32 He only has to look at the earth and it trembles; mountains pour out smoke at his touch.
Ia memandang bumi dan membuatnya gemetar, gunung-gunung disentuh-Nya, sehingga asapnya keluar.
33 I will sing to the Lord for as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God my whole life.
Aku mau menyanyi bagi TUHAN selama hidupku, menyanyikan pujian bagi Allahku selama aku ada.
34 May he be pleased with my thoughts because I am happy in the Lord.
Semoga nyanyianku berkenan kepada-Nya, sebab Dialah yang membuat hatiku gembira.
35 Let sinners be destroyed from the earth; let the wicked cease to exist. Let every part of me praise the Lord!
Biarlah orang berdosa lenyap dari muka bumi, biarlah orang jahat habis binasa. Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku! Pujilah TUHAN!
