תהילים 104

1 בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃

Bless, O my soul, the Lord. O Lord my God, thou art very great; with glory and majesty art thou clothed.

2 עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃

[Thou art he] who wrappeth himself in light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain;

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

Who frameth of the waters the beams of his upper-chambers; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh along upon the wings of the wind:

4 עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃

Who maketh the winds his messengers; the flaming fire his ministers;

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

Who hath founded the earth upon her bases, that she should not be moved to all eternity.

6 תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃

Thou hadst covered the deep as with a garment: above the mountains stood the waters.

7 מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃

At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.

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

They ascended mountains; they went down valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

9 גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Bounds hast thou set which they cannot pass over, that they return not again to cover the earth.

10 הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃

[Thou art he] who sendeth springs into the valleys, between mountains they run along.

11 יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃

They give drink to all the beasts of the field: the wild asses quench [thereon] their thirst.

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

By them have the fowls of the heaven ever their habitation, from between the branches they send forth their voice.

13 מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Who watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: from the fruit of thy works is the earth satisfied.

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

[Thou art he] who causeth grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs by the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth;

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

And wine that maketh joyful the heart of man, [and] oil to brighten his face, and bread which strengtheneth the heart of man.

16 יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃

Full of sap are the trees of the Lord, the cedars of Lebanon which he hath planted;

17 אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃

Where the birds make their nests: the stork—fir-trees are her house.

18 הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃

The high mountains are for the wild goats: the rocks are a shelter for the conies.

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 בּֽוֹ־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃

Thou causest darkness, and it becometh night, wherein creep forth all the beasts of the forest.

21 הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָֽם׃

The young lions roar after their prey, and ask from God their food.

22 תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעוֹנֹתָם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃

The sun ariseth, they withdraw [to their lairs], and lie down in their dens.

23 יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלוֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹדָתוֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃

Man goeth [then] forth unto his work, and to his labor until the evening.

24 מָֽה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְֽהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃

How manifold are thy works, O Lord! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

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

Here is this great and wide-extended sea; therein are moving things without number, living creatures both small and great.

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

There the ships make their way: [there also] is the leviathan, whom thou hast made to sport therein.

27 כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃

All of these wait upon thee, to give them their food in its due season.

28 תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָֽדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃

What thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

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

Thou hidest thy face, they suddenly vanish: thou takest away their spirit, they perish, and to their dust they return.

30 תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָֽה׃

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31 יְהִי כְבוֹד יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

The glory of the Lord will endure for ever; the Lord will rejoice in his works:

32 הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

He who looketh down on the earth, and she trembleth; who toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

33 אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃

I will sing unto the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I exist.

34 יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָֽה׃

May my speech be agreeable to him: I will indeed rejoice in the Lord.

35 יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עוֹד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

May the sinners cease from off the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless, O my soul, the Lord. Hallelujah.
