Psalms 103

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	MODERN HEBREW BIBLE
1 To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great. You have clothed yourself with confession and beauty;	1 לדוד ברכי נפשי את יהוה וכל קרבי את שם קדשו
2 you are dressed with light like a garment, while you stretch out heaven like a tent.	2 ברכי נפשי את יהוה ואל תשכחי כל גמוליו
3 You cover its heights with water. You set the clouds as your stairs. You walk upon the wings of the winds.	3 הסלח לכל עונכי הרפא לכל תחלאיכי
4 You make your Angels a breath of life, and your ministers a burning fire.	4 הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים
5 You founded the earth upon its stable base. It will not be bent from age to age.	5 המשביע בטוב עדיך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי
6 The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. The waters will remain standing above the mountains.	6 עשה צדקות יהוה ומשפטים לכל עשוקים
7 At your rebuke, they will flee. At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.	7 יודיע דרכיו למשה לבני ישראל עלילותיו
8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, to the place which you have founded for them.	8 רחום וחנון יהוה ארך אפים ורב חסד
9 You have set a limit that they will not cross. And they will not return to cover the earth.	9 לא לנצח יריב ולא לעולם יטור
10 You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.	10 לא כחטאינו עשה לנו ולא כעונתינו גמל עלינו
11 All the wild beasts of the field will drink. The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.	11 כי כגבה שמים על הארץ גבר חסדו על יראיו
12 Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.	12 כרחק מזרח ממערב הרחיק ממנו את פשעינו
13 You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,	13 כרחם אב על בנים רחם יהוה על יראיו
14 producing grass for cattle and herbs for the service of men. So may you draw bread from the earth,	14 כי הוא ידע יצרנו זכור כי עפר אנחנו
15 and wine, in order to cheer the heart of man. Then he may gladden his face with oil, and bread will confirm the heart of man.	15 אנוש כחציר ימיו כציץ השדה כן יציץ
16 The trees of the field will be saturated, along with the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted.	16 כי רוח עברה בו ואיננו ולא יכירנו עוד מקומו
17 There, the sparrows will make their nests. The leader of them is the house of the heron.	17 וחסד יהוה מעולם ועד עולם על יראיו וצדקתו לבני בנים
18 The heights of the hills are for the deer; the rock is a refuge for the hedgehog.	18 לשמרי בריתו ולזכרי פקדיו לעשותם
19 He has made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its setting.	19 יהוה בשמים הכין כסאו ומלכותו בכל משלה
20 You appointed darkness, and it has become night; all the beasts of the forest will cross through it.	20 ברכו יהוה מלאכיו גברי כח עשי דברו לשמע בקול דברו
21 The young lions will roar, while searching for and seizing their meal from God.	21 ברכו יהוה כל צבאיו משרתיו עשי רצונו
22 The sun arose, and they were gathered together; and in their dens, they will lie down together.	22 ברכו יהוה כל מעשיו בכל מקמות ממשלתו ברכי נפשי את יהוה
23 Man will go forth to his work and to his activities, until the evening.
24 How great are your works, O Lord! You have made all things in wisdom. The earth has been filled with your possessions.
25 This sea is great and its hands are spacious. There are creeping things without number: the small animals with the great.
26 There, the ships will pass by this sea-serpent that you have formed to mock them.
27 All these expect you to give them food in due time.
28 What you give to them, they will gather. When you open your hand, they will all be filled with goodness.
29 But if you turn your face away, they will be disturbed. You will take away their breath, and they will fail, and they will return to their dust.
30 You will send forth your Spirit, and they will be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.
31 May the glory of the Lord be for all ages. The Lord will rejoice in his works.
32 He considers the earth, and he makes it tremble. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God, as long as I am.
34 May my speech be pleasing to him. Truly, I will take delight in the Lord.
35 Let sinners fade away from the earth, along with the unjust, so that they may not be. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
