Psalmi 104

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus ; annuntiate inter gentes opera ejus.	1 Bless the LORD, my soul! LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory,
2 Cantate ei, et psallite ei ; narrate omnia mirabilia ejus.	2 robed in light as with a cloak. You spread out the heavens like a tent;
3 Laudamini in nomine sancto ejus ; lætetur cor quærentium Dominum.	3 you raised your palace upon the waters. You make the clouds your chariot; you travel on the wings of the wind.
4 Quærite Dominum, et confirmamini ; quærite faciem ejus semper.	4 You make the winds your messengers; flaming fire, your ministers.
5 Mementote mirabilium ejus quæ fecit ; prodigia ejus, et judicia oris ejus :	5 You fixed the earth on its foundation, never to be moved.
6 semen Abraham servi ejus ; filii Jacob electi ejus.	6 The ocean covered it like a garment; above the mountains stood the waters.
7 Ipse Dominus Deus noster ; in universa terra judicia ejus.	7 At your roar they took flight; at the sound of your thunder they fled.
8 Memor fuit in sæculum testamenti sui ; verbi quod mandavit in mille generationes :	8 They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys to the place you had fixed for them.
9 quod disposuit ad Abraham, et juramenti sui ad Isaac :	9 You set a limit they cannot pass; never again will they cover the earth.
10 et statuit illud Jacob in præceptum, et Israël in testamentum æternum,	10 You made springs flow into channels that wind among the mountains.
11 dicens : Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum hæreditatis vestræ :	11 They give drink to every beast of the field; here wild asses quench their thirst.
12 cum essent numero brevi, paucissimi, et incolæ ejus.	12 Beside them the birds of heaven nest; among the branches they sing.
13 Et pertransierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.	13 You water the mountains from your palace; by your labor the earth abounds.
14 Non reliquit hominem nocere eis : et corripuit pro eis reges.	14 You raise grass for the cattle and plants for our beasts of burden. You bring bread from the earth,
15 Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.	15 and wine to gladden our hearts, Oil to make our faces gleam, food to build our strength.
16 Et vocavit famem super terram, et omne firmamentum panis contrivit.	16 The trees of the LORD drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which you planted.
17 Misit ante eos virum : in servum venumdatus est, Joseph.	17 There the birds build their nests; junipers are the home of the stork.
18 Humiliaverunt in compedibus pedes ejus ; ferrum pertransiit animam ejus :	18 The high mountains are for wild goats; the rocky cliffs, a refuge for badgers.
19 donec veniret verbum ejus. Eloquium Domini inflammavit eum.	19 You made the moon to mark the seasons, the sun that knows the hour of its setting.
20 Misit rex, et solvit eum ; princeps populorum, et dimisit eum.	20 You bring darkness and night falls, then all the beasts of the forest roam abroad.
21 Constituit eum dominum domus suæ, et principem omnis possessionis suæ :	21 Young lions roar for prey; they seek their food from God.
22 ut erudiret principes ejus sicut semetipsum, et senes ejus prudentiam doceret.	22 When the sun rises, they steal away and rest in their dens.
23 Et intravit Israël in Ægyptum, et Jacob accola fuit in terra Cham.	23 People go forth to their work, to their labor till evening falls.
24 Et auxit populum suum vehementer, et firmavit eum super inimicos ejus.	24 How varied are your works, LORD! In wisdom you have wrought them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Convertit cor eorum, ut odirent populum ejus, et dolum facerent in servos ejus.	25 Look at the sea, great and wide! It teems with countless beings, living things both large and small.
26 Misit Moysen servum suum ; Aaron quem elegit ipsum.	26 Here ships ply their course; here Leviathan, your creature, plays.
27 Posuit in eis verba signorum suorum, et prodigiorum in terra Cham.	27 All of these look to you to give them food in due time.
28 Misit tenebras, et obscuravit ; et non exacerbavit sermones suos.	28 When you give to them, they gather; when you open your hand, they are well filled.
29 Convertit aquas eorum in sanguinem, et occidit pisces eorum.	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 Edidit terra eorum ranas in penetralibus regum ipsorum.	30 When you send forth your breath, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.
31 Dixit, et venit c?nomyia et ciniphes in omnibus finibus eorum.	31 May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD be glad in these works!
32 Posuit pluvias eorum grandinem : ignem comburentem in terra ipsorum.	32 If God glares at the earth, it trembles; if God touches the mountains, they smoke!
33 Et percussit vineas eorum, et ficulneas eorum, et contrivit lignum finium eorum.	33 I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live.
34 Dixit, et venit locusta, et bruchus cujus non erat numerus :	34 May my theme be pleasing to God; I will rejoice in the LORD.
35 et comedit omne f?num in terra eorum, et comedit omnem fructum terræ eorum.	35 May sinners vanish from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!
36 Et percussit omne primogenitum in terra eorum, primitias omnis laboris eorum.
37 Et eduxit eos cum argento et auro, et non erat in tribubus eorum infirmus.
38 Lætata est Ægyptus in profectione eorum, quia incubuit timor eorum super eos.
39 Expandit nubem in protectionem eorum, et ignem ut luceret eis per noctem.
40 Petierunt, et venit coturnix, et pane cæli saturavit eos.
41 Dirupit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ : abierunt in sicco flumina.
42 Quoniam memor fuit verbi sancti sui, quod habuit ad Abraham puerum suum.
43 Et eduxit populum suum in exsultatione, et electos suos in lætitia.
44 Et dedit illis regiones gentium, et labores populorum possederunt :
45 ut custodiant justificationes ejus, et legem ejus requirant.
