STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הֹוד וְהָדָר לָבָשְׁתָּ	1 Bless the LORD, my soul! LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory,
2 עֹטֶה־אֹור כַּשַּׂלְמָה נֹוטֶה מַיִם כַּיְרִיעָה	2 robed in light as with a cloak. You spread out the heavens like a tent;
3 הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲ‍לִיֹּותָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבֹו הַמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רוּחַ	3 you raised your palace upon the waters. You make the clouds your chariot; you travel on the wings of the wind.
4 עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחֹות מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵט	4 You make the winds your messengers; flaming fire, your ministers.
5 יָסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמֹּוט עֹולָם וָעֶד	5 You fixed the earth on its foundation, never to be moved.
6 תְּהֹום כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹו עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ־מָיִם	6 The ocean covered it like a garment; above the mountains stood the waters.
7 מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קֹול רַעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזוּן	7 At your roar they took flight; at the sound of your thunder they fled.
8 יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעֹות אֶל־מְקֹום זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶם	8 They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys to the place you had fixed for them.
9 גְּבוּלשַׂ־מְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסֹּות הָאָרֶץ	9 You set a limit they cannot pass; never again will they cover the earth.
10 הַמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכוּן	10 You made springs flow into channels that wind among the mountains.
11 יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹו שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָם	11 They give drink to every beast of the field; here wild asses quench their thirst.
12 עֲלֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכֹּון מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֹול	12 Beside them the birds of heaven nest; among the branches they sing.
13 מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָרֶץ	13 You water the mountains from your palace; by your labor the earth abounds.
14 מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהֹוצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָרֶץ	14 You raise grass for the cattle and plants for our beasts of burden. You bring bread from the earth,
15 וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ יִסְעָד	15 and wine to gladden our hearts, Oil to make our faces gleam, food to build our strength.
16 יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַרְזֵי לְבָנֹון אֲשֶׁר נָטָע	16 The trees of the LORD drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which you planted.
17 אֲשֶׁרשָׁ־ם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרֹושִׁים בֵּיתָהּ	17 There the birds build their nests; junipers are the home of the stork.
18 הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַשְׁפַנִּים	18 The high mountains are for wild goats; the rocky cliffs, a refuge for badgers.
19 עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִים מֶשׁ יָדַע מְבֹואֹו	19 You made the moon to mark the seasons, the sun that knows the hour of its setting.
20 תָּשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בֹּו־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָעַר	20 You bring darkness and night falls, then all the beasts of the forest roam abroad.
21 הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָם	21 Young lions roar for prey; they seek their food from God.
22 תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעֹונֹתָם יִרְבָּצוּן	22 When the sun rises, they steal away and rest in their dens.
23 יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלֹו וְלַעֲבֹדָתֹו עֲדֵי־עָרֶב	23 People go forth to their work, to their labor till evening falls.
24 מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶךָ	24 How varied are your works, LORD! In wisdom you have wrought them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדֹול וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיֹּות קְטַנֹּות עִם־גְּדֹלֹות	25 Look at the sea, great and wide! It teems with countless beings, living things both large and small.
26 ם אֳנִיֹּות יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַׂחֶק־בֹּו	26 Here ships ply their course; here Leviathan, your creature, plays.
27 כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתֹּו	27 All of these look to you to give them food in due time.
28 תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֹוב	28 When you give to them, they gather; when you open your hand, they are well filled.
29 תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבוּן	29 When you hide your face, they are lost. When you take away their breath, they perish and return to the dust from which they came.
30 תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָה	30 When you send forth your breath, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.
31 יְהִי כְבֹוד יְהוָה לְעֹולָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָׂיו	31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD be glad in these works!
32 הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְיֶעֱשָׁנוּ	32 If God glares at the earth, it trembles; if God touches the mountains, they smoke!
33 אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעֹודִי	33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.
34 יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָה	34 May my theme be pleasing to God; I will rejoice in the LORD.
35 יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עֹוד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַלְלוּ־יָהּ	35 May sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!
