Psalms 104

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Bless Yahweh, my soul, Yahweh, my God, how great you are! Clothed in majesty and splendour,	1 בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הֹוד וְהָדָר לָבָשְׁתָּ
2 wearing the light as a robe! You stretch out the heavens like a tent,	2 עֹטֶה־אֹור כַּשַּׂלְמָה נֹוטֶה מַיִם כַּיְרִיעָה
3 build your palace on the waters above, making the clouds your chariot, gliding on the wings of thewind,	3 הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲ‍לִיֹּותָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבֹו הַמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רוּחַ
4 appointing the winds your messengers, flames of fire your servants.	4 עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחֹות מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵט
5 You fixed the earth on its foundations, for ever and ever it shal not be shaken;	5 יָסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמֹּוט עֹולָם וָעֶד
6 you covered it with the deep like a garment, the waters overtopping the mountains.	6 תְּהֹום כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹו עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ־מָיִם
7 At your reproof the waters fled, at the voice of your thunder they sped away,	7 מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קֹול רַעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזוּן
8 flowing over mountains, down val eys, to the place you had fixed for them;	8 יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעֹות אֶל־מְקֹום זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶם
9 you made a limit they were not to cross, they were not to return and cover the earth.	9 גְּבוּלשַׂ־מְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסֹּות הָאָרֶץ
10 In the ravines you opened up springs, running down between the mountains,	10 הַמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכוּן
11 supplying water for al the wild beasts; the wild asses quench their thirst,	11 יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹו שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָם
12 on their banks the birds of the air make their nests, they sing among the leaves.	12 עֲלֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכֹּון מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֹול
13 From your high hal s you water the mountains, satisfying the earth with the fruit of your works:	13 מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָרֶץ
14 for cattle you make the grass grow, and for people the plants they need, to bring forth food from theearth,	14 מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהֹוצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָרֶץ
15 and wine to cheer people's hearts, oil to make their faces glow, food to make them sturdy of heart.	15 וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ יִסְעָד
16 The trees of Yahweh drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon which he sowed;	16 יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַרְזֵי לְבָנֹון אֲשֶׁר נָטָע
17 there the birds build their nests, on the highest branches the stork makes its home;	17 אֲשֶׁרשָׁ־ם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרֹושִׁים בֵּיתָהּ
18 for the wild goats there are the mountains, in the crags the coneys find refuge.	18 הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַשְׁפַנִּים
19 He made the moon to mark the seasons, the sun knows when to set.	19 עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִים מֶשׁ יָדַע מְבֹואֹו
20 You bring on darkness, and night fal s, when al the forest beasts roam around;	20 תָּשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בֹּו־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָעַר
21 young lions roar for their prey, asking God for their food.	21 הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָם
22 The sun rises and away they steal, back to their lairs to lie down,	22 תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעֹונֹתָם יִרְבָּצוּן
23 and man goes out to work, to labour til evening falls.	23 יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלֹו וְלַעֲבֹדָתֹו עֲדֵי־עָרֶב
24 How countless are your works, Yahweh, al of them made so wisely! The earth is ful of yourcreatures.	24 מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶךָ
25 Then there is the sea, with its vast expanses teeming with countless creatures, creatures both greatand smal ;	25 זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדֹול וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיֹּות קְטַנֹּות עִם־גְּדֹלֹות
26 there ships pass to and fro, and Leviathan whom you made to sport with.	26 ם אֳנִיֹּות יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַׂחֶק־בֹּו
27 They al depend upon you, to feed them when they need it.	27 כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתֹּו
28 You provide the food they gather, your open hand gives them their fil .	28 תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֹוב
29 Turn away your face and they panic; take back their breath and they die and revert to dust.	29 תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבוּן
30 Send out your breath and life begins; you renew the face of the earth.	30 תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָה
31 Glory to Yahweh for ever! May Yahweh find joy in his creatures!	31 יְהִי כְבֹוד יְהוָה לְעֹולָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָׂיו
32 At his glance the earth trembles, at his touch the mountains pour forth smoke.	32 הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְיֶעֱשָׁנוּ
33 I shal sing to Yahweh al my life, make music for my God as long as I live.	33 אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעֹודִי
34 May my musings be pleasing to him, for Yahweh gives me joy.	34 יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָה
35 May sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked exist no more! Bless Yahweh, my soul.	35 יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עֹוד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַלְלוּ־יָהּ
