< תהילים 104 >
בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הוֹד וְהָדָר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ | 1 |
Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD, my God! thou art very great! Thou art clothed with glory and majesty!
עֹֽטֶה־אוֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָה נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ | 2 |
He covereth himself with light as with a garment; He spreadeth out the heavens like a curtain;
הַמְקָרֶֽה בַמַּיִם עֲֽלִיּוֹתָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבוֹ הַֽמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 3 |
He layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; He maketh the clouds his chariot; He rideth upon the wings of the wind.
עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחוֹת מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ | 4 |
He maketh the winds his messengers, The flaming lightnings his ministers.
יָֽסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמּוֹט עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ | 5 |
He established the earth on its foundations; It shall not be removed for ever.
תְּהוֹם כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתוֹ עַל־הָרִים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains!
מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קוֹל רַֽעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ | 7 |
At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעוֹת אֶל־מְקוֹם זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ | 8 |
The mountains rose, the valleys sank, In the place which thou didst appoint for them.
גְּֽבוּל־שַׂמְתָּ בַּל־יֽ͏ַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
Thou hast established a bound which the waters may not pass, That they may not return, and cover the earth.
הַֽמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ | 10 |
He sendeth forth the springs in brooks; They run among the mountains;
יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָֽם׃ | 11 |
They give drink to all the beasts of the forest; In them the wild asses quench their thirst.
עֲלֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכּוֹן מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ | 12 |
About them the birds of heaven have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 13 |
He watereth the hills from his chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works!
מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 14 |
He causeth grass to spring up for cattle, And herbage for the service of man, To bring forth food out of the earth,
וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנוֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ | 15 |
And wine that gladdeneth the heart of man, Making his face to shine more than oil, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.
יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַֽרְזֵי לְבָנוֹן אֲשֶׁר נָטָֽע׃ | 16 |
The trees of the LORD are full of sap, The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרוֹשִׁים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ | 17 |
There the birds build their nests; In the cypresses the stork hath her abode.
הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ | 18 |
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats, And the rocks for the conies.
עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמֶשׁ יָדַע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃ | 19 |
He appointed the moon to mark seasons; The sun knoweth when to go down.
תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בּֽוֹ־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃ | 20 |
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, When all the beasts of the forest go forth!
הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָֽם׃ | 21 |
The young lions roar for prey, And seek their food from God.
תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעוֹנֹתָם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ | 22 |
When the sun ariseth, they withdraw themselves, And lie down in their dens.
יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלוֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹדָתוֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ | 23 |
Man goeth forth to his work, And to his labor, until the evening.
מָֽה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְֽהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ | 24 |
O LORD! how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all! The earth is full of thy riches!
זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדוֹל וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָֽׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיּוֹת קְטַנּוֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ | 25 |
Lo! this great and wide sea! In it are moving creatures without number, Animals small and great.
שָׁם אֳנִיּוֹת יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶֽה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃ | 26 |
There go the ships; There is the leviathan, which thou hast made to play therein.
כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ | 27 |
All these wait on thee To give them their food in due season.
תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָֽדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֽוֹב׃ | 28 |
Thou givest it to them, they gather it; Thou openest thine hand, they are satisfied with good.
תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִֽבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ | 29 |
Thou hidest thy face, they are confounded; Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to the dust.
תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָֽה׃ | 30 |
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, And thou renewest the face of the earth.
יְהִי כְבוֹד יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ | 31 |
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever; The LORD shall rejoice in his works;
הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ | 32 |
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ | 33 |
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live, I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָֽה׃ | 34 |
May my meditation be acceptable to him! I will rejoice in the LORD.
יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עוֹד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 35 |
May sinners perish from the earth, And the wicked be no more! Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise ye the LORD!
