< תהילים 104 >

בָּרְכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ 1
Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou are very great. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty,
עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ 2
who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲֽלִיּוֹתָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבוֹ הַֽמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 3
who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,
עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ 4
who makes his agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire,
יָֽסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ 5
who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever.
תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ מָֽיִם׃ 6
Thou covered it with the deep as with a vesture. The waters stood above the mountains.
מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ 7
At thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ 8
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them.
גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשֻׁבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 9
Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ 10
He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
יַשְׁקוּ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃ 11
They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכּוֹן מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ 12
By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation. They sing among the branches.
מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 13
He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 14
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,
וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ 15
and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהֹוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃ 16
The trees of Jehovah are full, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ 17
where the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ 18
The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the conies.
עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמֶשׁ יָדַע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃ 19
He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows his going down.
תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בּוֹ־תִרְמֹשׂ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃ 20
Thou make darkness, and it is night, during which all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אׇכְלָֽם׃ 21
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעוֹנֹתָם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ 22
The sun arises; they get away, and lie down in their dens.
יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפׇעֳלוֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹדָתוֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ 23
Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְֽהֹוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחׇכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ 24
O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom have thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches.
זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדוֹל וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָֽׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ 25
Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.
שָׁם אֳנִיּוֹת יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶֽה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃ 26
There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.
כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אׇכְלָם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ 27
These all wait for thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.
תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃ 28
Thou give to them, they gather. Thou open thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִֽבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ 29
Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָֽה׃ 30
Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground.
יְהִי כְבוֹד יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יְהֹוָה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ 31
Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. Let Jehovah rejoice in his works,
הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ 32
who looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
אָשִׁירָה לַיהֹוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ 33
I will sing to Jehovah as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהֹוָֽה׃ 34
Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.
יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עוֹד אֵינָם בָּרְכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ 35
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
