תהילים 104

1 בָּרְכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃

For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:

2 עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃

And art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:

3 הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲֽלִיּוֹתָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבוֹ הַֽמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃

Who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.

4 עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃

Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.

5 יָֽסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.

6 תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ מָֽיִם׃

The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.

7 מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃

At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.

8 יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃

The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.

9 גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשֻׁבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.

10 הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃

Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.

11 יַשְׁקוּ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃

All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.

12 עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכּוֹן מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃

Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.

13 מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:

14 מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:

15 וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃

And that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.

16 יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהֹוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃

The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:

17 אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃

There the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.

18 הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃

The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.

19 עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמֶשׁ יָדַע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃

He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20 תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בּוֹ־תִרְמֹשׂ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃

Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:

21 הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אׇכְלָֽם׃

The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.

22 תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעוֹנֹתָם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃

The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.

23 יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפׇעֳלוֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹדָתוֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃

Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.

24 מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְֽהֹוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחׇכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃

How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.

25 זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדוֹל וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָֽׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃

So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.

26 שָׁם אֳנִיּוֹת יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶֽה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃

There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.

27 כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אׇכְלָם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃

All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.

28 תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃

What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.

29 תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִֽבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃

But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.

30 תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָֽה׃

Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

31 יְהִי כְבוֹד יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יְהֹוָה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

32 הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

33 אָשִׁירָה לַיהֹוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהֹוָֽה׃

Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.

35 יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עוֹד אֵינָם בָּרְכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
