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