< תהילים 104 >
בָּרְכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ | 1 |
I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, Yahweh my God, you are very magnificent; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ | 2 |
You cover yourself with light as with a garment; you spread out the heavens like a tent curtain.
הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲֽלִיּוֹתָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבוֹ הַֽמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 3 |
You lay the beams of your chambers on the clouds; you make the clouds your chariot; you walk on the wings of the wind.
עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ | 4 |
He makes the winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.
יָֽסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ | 5 |
He laid the foundations of the earth, and it will never be moved.
תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ מָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
You covered the earth with water like a garment; the water covered the mountains.
מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ | 7 |
Your rebuke made the waters recede; at the sound of your thunderous voice they fled.
יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ | 8 |
The mountains rose, and the valleys spread out into the places that you had appointed for them.
גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשֻׁבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
You have set a boundary for them that they will not cross; they will not cover the earth again.
הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ | 10 |
He made springs flow into the valleys; the streams flow between the mountains.
יַשְׁקוּ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃ | 11 |
They supply water for all the animals of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכּוֹן מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ | 12 |
By the riverbanks the birds build their nests; they sing among the branches.
מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 13 |
He waters the mountains from his water chambers in the sky. The earth is filled with the fruit of his labor.
מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 14 |
He makes the grass grow for the cattle and plants for man to cultivate so that man may produce food from the earth.
וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ | 15 |
He makes wine to make man happy, oil to make his face shine, and food to sustain his life.
יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהֹוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃ | 16 |
The trees of Yahweh get plenty of rain; the cedars of Lebanon which he planted.
אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ | 17 |
There the birds make their nests. The stork makes the cypress tree her home.
הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ | 18 |
The wild goats live on the high mountains; the mountain heights are a refuge for the hyraxes.
עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמֶשׁ יָדַע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃ | 19 |
He appointed the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בּוֹ־תִרְמֹשׂ כׇּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃ | 20 |
You make the darkness of the night when all the beasts of the forest come out.
הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אׇכְלָֽם׃ | 21 |
The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעוֹנֹתָם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ | 22 |
When the sun rises, they retreat and sleep in their dens.
יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפׇעֳלוֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹדָתוֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ | 23 |
Meanwhile, people go out to their work and labor away until the evening.
מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְֽהֹוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחׇכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ | 24 |
Yahweh, how many and varied are your works! With wisdom you made them all; the earth overflows with your works.
זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדוֹל וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָֽׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ | 25 |
Over there is the sea, deep and wide, teeming with innumerable creatures, both small and great.
שָׁם אֳנִיּוֹת יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶֽה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃ | 26 |
The ships travel there, and Leviathan is also there, which you formed to play in the sea.
כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אׇכְלָם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ | 27 |
All these look to you to give them their food on time.
תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃ | 28 |
When you give to them, they gather; when you open your hand, they are satisfied.
תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִֽבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ | 29 |
When you hide your face, they are troubled; if you take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָֽה׃ | 30 |
When you send out your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the countryside.
יְהִי כְבוֹד יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יְהֹוָה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ | 31 |
May the glory of Yahweh last forever; may Yahweh enjoy his creation.
הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ | 32 |
He looks down on the earth, and it shakes; he touches the mountains, and they smoke.
אָשִׁירָה לַיהֹוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ | 33 |
I will sing to Yahweh all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהֹוָֽה׃ | 34 |
May my thoughts be sweet to him; I will rejoice in Yahweh.
יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עוֹד אֵינָם בָּרְכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהֹוָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 35 |
May sinners vanish from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. I give praise to Yahweh with all my life. Praise Yahweh.
