Psalms 104
1 Bless, O my soul, the Lord. O Lord my God, thou art very great; with glory and majesty art thou clothed.
| בָּרֲכִ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְה֫וָ֥ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי גָּדַ֣לְתָּ מְּאֹ֑ד הֹ֭וד וְהָדָ֣ר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ |
2 [Thou art he] who wrappeth himself in light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain;
| עֹֽטֶה־אֹ֭ור כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נֹוטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ |
3 Who frameth of the waters the beams of his upper-chambers; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh along upon the wings of the wind:
| הַ֥מְקָרֶֽה בַמַּ֗יִם עֲֽלִיֹּ֫ותָ֥יו הַשָּׂם־עָבִ֥ים רְכוּבֹ֑ו הַֽ֝מְהַלֵּ֗ךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ |
4 Who maketh the winds his messengers; the flaming fire his ministers;
| עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּחֹ֑ות מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ |
5 Who hath founded the earth upon her bases, that she should not be moved to all eternity.
| יָֽסַד־אֶ֭רֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶ֑יהָ בַּל־תִּ֝מֹּ֗וט עֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃ |
6 Thou hadst covered the deep as with a garment: above the mountains stood the waters.
| תְּ֭הֹום כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹ֑ו עַל־הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃ |
7 At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
| מִן־גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־קֹ֥ול רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ |
8 They ascended mountains; they went down valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
| יַעֲל֣וּ הָ֭רִים יֵרְד֣וּ בְקָעֹ֑ות אֶל־מְ֝קֹ֗ום זֶ֤ה ׀ יָסַ֬דְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ |
9 Bounds hast thou set which they cannot pass over, that they return not again to cover the earth.
| גְּֽבוּל־שַׂ֭מְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹר֑וּן בַּל־יְ֝שׁוּב֗וּן לְכַסֹּ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
10 [Thou art he] who sendeth springs into the valleys, between mountains they run along.
| הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ |
11 They give drink to all the beasts of the field: the wild asses quench [thereon] their thirst.
| יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹ֣ו שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃ |
12 By them have the fowls of the heaven ever their habitation, from between the branches they send forth their voice.
| עֲ֭לֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׁכֹּ֑ון מִבֵּ֥ין עֳ֝פָאיִ֗ם יִתְּנוּ־קֹֽול׃ |
13 Who watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: from the fruit of thy works is the earth satisfied.
| מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
14 [Thou art he] who causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs by the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth;
| מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְהֹ֥וצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ |
15 And wine that maketh joyful the heart of man, [and] oil to brighten his face, and bread which strengtheneth the heart of man.
| וְיַ֤יִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּ֬ח לְֽבַב־אֱנֹ֗ושׁ לְהַצְהִ֣יל פָּנִ֣ים מִשָּׁ֑מֶן וְ֝לֶ֗חֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנֹ֥ושׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ |
16 Full of sap are the trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted;
| יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנֹ֗ון אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃ |
17 Where the birds make their nests: the stork—fir-trees are her house.
| אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרֹושִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ |
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats: the rocks are a shelter for the conies.
| הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ |
19 He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
| עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבֹואֹֽו׃ |
20 Thou causest darkness, and it becometh night, wherein creep forth all the beasts of the forest.
| תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וִ֣יהִי לָ֑יְלָה בֹּֽו־תִ֝רְמֹ֗שׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָֽעַר׃ |
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and ask from God their food.
| הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃ |
22 The sun ariseth, they withdraw [to their lairs], and lie down in their dens.
| תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־מְ֝עֹונֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ |
23 Man goeth [then] forth unto his work, and to his labor until the evening.
| יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳלֹ֑ו וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָתֹ֣ו עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ |
24 How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
| מָֽה־רַבּ֬וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֨יךָ ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כֻּ֭לָּם בְּחָכְמָ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ מָלְאָ֥ה הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ |
25 Here is this great and wide-extended sea; therein are moving things without number, living creatures both small and great.
| זֶ֤ה ׀ הַיָּ֥ם גָּדֹול֮ וּרְחַ֪ב יָ֫דָ֥יִם שָֽׁם־רֶ֭מֶשׂ וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר חַיֹּ֥ות קְ֝טַנֹּ֗ות עִם־גְּדֹלֹֽות׃ |
26 There the ships make their way: [there also] is the leviathan, whom thou hast made to sport therein.
| שָׁ֭ם אֳנִיֹּ֣ות יְהַלֵּכ֑וּן לִ֝וְיָתָ֗ן זֶֽה־יָצַ֥רְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בֹּֽו׃ |
27 All of these wait upon thee, to give them their food in its due season.
| כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתֹּֽו׃ |
28 What thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
| תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֹֽוב׃ |
29 Thou hidest thy face, they suddenly vanish: thou takest away their spirit, they perish, and to their dust they return.
| תַּסְתִּ֥יר פָּנֶיךָ֮ יִֽבָּהֵ֫ל֥וּן תֹּסֵ֣ף ר֭וּחָם יִגְוָע֑וּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָ֥ם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ |
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.
| תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃ |
31 The glory of the Lord will endure for ever; the Lord will rejoice in his works:
| יְהִ֤י כְבֹ֣וד יְהוָ֣ה לְעֹולָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ |
32 He who looketh down on the earth, and she trembleth; who toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
| הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וֽ͏ְיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ |
33 I will sing unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist.
| אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעֹודִֽי׃ |
34 May my speech be agreeable to him: I will indeed rejoice in the Lord.
| יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃ |
35 May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.
| יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ עֹ֤וד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
