תְהִלִּים 104
| בָּרֲכִ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְה֫וָ֥ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי גָּדַ֣לְתָּ מְּאֹ֑ד הֹ֭וד וְהָדָ֣ר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ | 1 |
Bless the LORD, my soul. The LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honour and majesty.
| עֹֽטֶה־אֹ֭ור כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נֹוטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ | 2 |
He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
| הַ֥מְקָרֶֽה בַמַּ֗יִם עֲֽלִיֹּ֫ותָ֥יו הַשָּׂם־עָבִ֥ים רְכוּבֹ֑ו הַֽ֝מְהַלֵּ֗ךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 3 |
He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
| עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּחֹ֑ות מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ | 4 |
He makes his messengers winds, and his servants flames of fire.
| יָֽסַד־אֶ֭רֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶ֑יהָ בַּל־תִּ֝מֹּ֗וט עֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃ | 5 |
He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.
| תְּ֭הֹום כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹ֑ו עַל־הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.
| מִן־גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־קֹ֥ול רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ | 7 |
At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
| יַעֲל֣וּ הָ֭רִים יֵרְד֣וּ בְקָעֹ֑ות אֶל־מְ֝קֹ֗ום זֶ֤ה ׀ יָסַ֬דְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ | 8 |
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.
| גְּֽבוּל־שַׂ֭מְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹר֑וּן בַּל־יְ֝שׁוּב֗וּן לְכַסֹּ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.
| הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ | 10 |
He sends springs into the valleys. They run amongst the mountains.
| יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹ֣ו שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃ | 11 |
They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
| עֲ֭לֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׁכֹּ֑ון מִבֵּ֥ין עֳ֝פָאיִ֗ם יִתְּנוּ־קֹֽול׃ | 12 |
The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing amongst the branches.
| מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 13 |
He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
| מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְהֹ֥וצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 14 |
He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:
| וְיַ֤יִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּ֬ח לְֽבַב־אֱנֹ֗ושׁ לְהַצְהִ֣יל פָּנִ֣ים מִשָּׁ֑מֶן וְ֝לֶ֗חֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנֹ֥ושׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ | 15 |
wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.
| יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנֹ֗ון אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃ | 16 |
The LORD’s trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
| אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרֹושִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ | 17 |
where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
| הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ | 18 |
The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
| עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבֹואֹֽו׃ | 19 |
He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
| תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וִ֣יהִי לָ֑יְלָה בֹּֽו־תִ֝רְמֹ֗שׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָֽעַר׃ | 20 |
You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
| הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃ | 21 |
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
| תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־מְ֝עֹונֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ | 22 |
The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.
| יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳלֹ֑ו וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָתֹ֣ו עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ | 23 |
Man goes out to his work, to his labour until the evening.
| מָֽה־רַבּ֬וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֨יךָ ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כֻּ֭לָּם בְּחָכְמָ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ מָלְאָ֥ה הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ | 24 |
LORD, how many are your works! In wisdom, you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches.
| זֶ֤ה ׀ הַיָּ֥ם גָּדֹול֮ וּרְחַ֪ב יָ֫דָ֥יִם שָֽׁם־רֶ֭מֶשׂ וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר חַיֹּ֥ות קְ֝טַנֹּ֗ות עִם־גְּדֹלֹֽות׃ | 25 |
There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.
| שָׁ֭ם אֳנִיֹּ֣ות יְהַלֵּכ֑וּן לִ֝וְיָתָ֗ן זֶֽה־יָצַ֥רְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בֹּֽו׃ | 26 |
There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
| כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתֹּֽו׃ | 27 |
These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
| תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֹֽוב׃ | 28 |
You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
| תַּסְתִּ֥יר פָּנֶיךָ֮ יִֽבָּהֵ֫ל֥וּן תֹּסֵ֣ף ר֭וּחָם יִגְוָע֑וּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָ֥ם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ | 29 |
You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.
| תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃ | 30 |
You send out your Spirit and they are created. You renew the face of the ground.
| יְהִ֤י כְבֹ֣וד יְהוָ֣ה לְעֹולָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ | 31 |
Let the LORD’s glory endure forever. Let the LORD rejoice in his works.
| הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וֽ͏ְיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ | 32 |
He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
| אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעֹודִֽי׃ | 33 |
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
| יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃ | 34 |
Let my meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in the LORD.
| יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ עֹ֤וד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 35 |
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul. Praise the LORD!
