STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הֹוד וְהָדָר לָבָשְׁתָּ	1 Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, thou art very great! Thou art clothed with honor and majesty,
2 עֹטֶה־אֹור כַּשַּׂלְמָה נֹוטֶה מַיִם כַּיְרִיעָה	2 who coverest thyself with light as with a garment, who hast stretched out the heavens like a tent,
3 הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲ‍לִיֹּותָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבֹו הַמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רוּחַ	3 who hast laid the beams of thy chambers on the waters, who makest the clouds thy chariot, who ridest on the wings of the wind,
4 עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחֹות מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵט	4 who makest the winds thy messengers, fire and flame thy ministers.
5 יָסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמֹּוט עֹולָם וָעֶד	5 Thou didst set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be shaken.
6 תְּהֹום כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹו עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ־מָיִם	6 Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קֹול רַעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזוּן	7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the sound of thy thunder they took to flight.
8 יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעֹות אֶל־מְקֹום זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶם	8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou didst appoint for them.
9 גְּבוּלשַׂ־מְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסֹּות הָאָרֶץ	9 Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.
10 הַמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכוּן	10 Thou makest springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills,
11 יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹו שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָם	11 they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 עֲלֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכֹּון מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֹול	12 By them the birds of the air have their habitation; they sing among the branches.
13 מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָרֶץ	13 From thy lofty abode thou waterest the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy work.
14 מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהֹוצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָרֶץ	14 Thou dost cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth,
15 וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ יִסְעָד	15 and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread to strengthen man's heart.
16 יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַרְזֵי לְבָנֹון אֲשֶׁר נָטָע	16 The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted.
17 אֲשֶׁרשָׁ־ם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרֹושִׁים בֵּיתָהּ	17 In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.
18 הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַשְׁפַנִּים	18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the badgers.
19 עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִים מֶשׁ יָדַע מְבֹואֹו	19 Thou hast made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.
20 תָּשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בֹּו־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָעַר	20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
21 הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָם	21 The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.
22 תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעֹונֹתָם יִרְבָּצוּן	22 When the sun rises, they get them away and lie down in their dens.
23 יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלֹו וְלַעֲבֹדָתֹו עֲדֵי־עָרֶב	23 Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
24 מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶךָ	24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy creatures.
25 זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדֹול וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיֹּות קְטַנֹּות עִם־גְּדֹלֹות	25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, which teems with things innumerable, living things both small and great.
26 ם אֳנִיֹּות יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַׂחֶק־בֹּו	26 There go the ships, and Leviathan which thou didst form to sport in it.
27 כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתֹּו	27 These all look to thee, to give them their food in due season.
28 תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֹוב	28 When thou givest to them, they gather it up; when thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good things.
29 תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבוּן	29 When thou hidest thy face, they are dismayed; when thou takest away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30 תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָה	30 When thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground.
31 יְהִי כְבֹוד יְהוָה לְעֹולָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָׂיו	31 May the glory of the LORD endure for ever, may the LORD rejoice in his works,
32 הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְיֶעֱשָׁנוּ	32 who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעֹודִי	33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָה	34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.
35 יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עֹוד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַלְלוּ־יָהּ	35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more! Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!
