תְהִלִּים 104

1 בָּרֲכִ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְה֫וָ֥ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי גָּדַ֣לְתָּ מְּאֹ֑ד הֹ֭וד וְהָדָ֣ר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honor and majesty.

2 עֹֽטֶה־אֹ֭ור כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נֹוטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃

Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:

3 הַ֥מְקָרֶֽה בַמַּ֗יִם עֲ‍ֽלִיֹּ֫ותָ֥יו הַשָּׂם־עָבִ֥ים רְכוּבֹ֑ו הַֽ֝מְהַלֵּ֗ךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃

Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks on the wings of the wind:

4 עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּחֹ֑ות מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃

Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

5 יָֽסַד־אֶ֭רֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶ֑יהָ בַּל־תִּ֝מֹּ֗וט עֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

6 תְּ֭הֹום כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹ֑ו עַל־הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃

You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

7 מִן־גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־קֹ֥ול רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃

At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

8 יַעֲל֣וּ הָ֭רִים יֵרְד֣וּ בְקָעֹ֑ות אֶל־מְ֝קֹ֗ום זֶ֤ה ׀ יָסַ֬דְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which you have founded for them.

9 גְּֽבוּל־שַׂ֭מְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹר֑וּן בַּל־יְ֝שׁוּב֗וּן לְכַסֹּ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃

You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃

He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

11 יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹ֣ו שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 עֲ֭לֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׁכֹּ֑ון מִבֵּ֥ין עֳ֝פָאיִ֗ם יִתְּנוּ־קֹֽול׃

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

13 מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃

He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.

14 מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְהֹ֥וצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

15 וְיַ֤יִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּ֬ח לְֽבַב־אֱנֹ֗ושׁ לְהַצְהִ֣יל פָּנִ֣ים מִשָּׁ֑מֶן וְ֝לֶ֗חֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנֹ֥ושׁ יִסְעָֽד׃

And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart.

16 יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנֹ֗ון אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

17 אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרֹושִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18 הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

19 עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבֹואֹֽו׃

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.

20 תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וִ֣יהִי לָ֑יְלָה בֹּֽו־תִ֝רְמֹ֗שׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָֽעַר׃

You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

21 הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

22 תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־מְ֝עֹונֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃

The sun rises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23 יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳלֹ֑ו וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָתֹ֣ו עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃

Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.

24 מָֽה־רַבּ֬וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֨יךָ ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כֻּ֭לָּם בְּחָכְמָ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ מָלְאָ֥ה הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃

O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.

25 זֶ֤ה ׀ הַיָּ֥ם גָּדֹול֮ וּרְחַ֪ב יָ֫דָ֥יִם שָֽׁם־רֶ֭מֶשׂ וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר חַיֹּ֥ות קְ֝טַנֹּ֗ות עִם־גְּדֹלֹֽות׃

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26 שָׁ֭ם אֳנִיֹּ֣ות יְהַלֵּכ֑וּן לִ֝וְיָתָ֗ן זֶֽה־יָצַ֥רְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בֹּֽו׃

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom you have made to play therein.

27 כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתֹּֽו׃

These wait all on you; that you may give them their meat in due season.

28 תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֹֽוב׃

That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.

29 תַּסְתִּ֥יר פָּנֶיךָ֮ יִֽבָּהֵ֫ל֥וּן תֹּסֵ֣ף ר֭וּחָם יִגְוָע֑וּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָ֥ם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃

You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30 תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃

You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.

31 יְהִ֤י כְבֹ֣וד יְהוָ֣ה לְעֹולָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

32 הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וֽ͏ְיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.

33 אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעֹודִֽי׃

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

34 יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

35 יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ עֹ֤וד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise you the LORD.
