STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי גָּדַלְתָּ מְּאֹד הֹוד וְהָדָר לָבָשְׁתָּ	1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:
2 עֹטֶה־אֹור כַּשַּׂלְמָה נֹוטֶה מַיִם כַּיְרִיעָה	2 and art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:
3 הַמְקָרֶה בַמַּיִם עֲ‍לִיֹּותָיו הַשָּׂם־עָבִים רְכוּבֹו הַמְהַלֵּךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רוּחַ	3 who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
4 עֹשֶׂה מַלְאָכָיו רוּחֹות מְשָׁרְתָיו אֵשׁ לֹהֵט	4 Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.
5 יָסַד־אֶרֶץ עַל־מְכֹונֶיהָ בַּל־תִּמֹּוט עֹולָם וָעֶד	5 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
6 תְּהֹום כַּלְּבוּשׁ כִּסִּיתֹו עַל־הָרִים יַעַמְדוּ־מָיִם	6 The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.
7 מִן־גַּעֲרָתְךָ יְנוּסוּן מִן־קֹול רַעַמְךָ יֵחָפֵזוּן	7 At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
8 יַעֲלוּ הָרִים יֵרְדוּ בְקָעֹות אֶל־מְקֹום זֶה ׀ יָסַדְתָּ לָהֶם	8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.
9 גְּבוּלשַׂ־מְתָּ בַּל־יַעֲבֹרוּן בַּל־יְשׁוּבוּן לְכַסֹּות הָאָרֶץ	9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.
10 הַמְשַׁלֵּחַ מַעְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִים בֵּין הָרִים יְהַלֵּכוּן	10 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
11 יַשְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְתֹו שָׂדָי יִשְׁבְּרוּ פְרָאִים צְמָאָם	11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
12 עֲלֵיהֶם עֹוף־הַשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׁכֹּון מִבֵּין עֳפָאיִם יִתְּנוּ־קֹול	12 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
13 מַשְׁקֶה הָרִים מֵעֲלִיֹּותָיו מִפְּרִי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ תִּשְׂבַּע הָאָרֶץ	13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
14 מַצְמִיחַ חָצִיר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָה וְעֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַת הָאָדָם לְהֹוצִיא לֶחֶם מִן־הָאָרֶץ	14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:
15 וְיַיִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּח לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ לְהַצְהִיל פָּנִים מִשָּׁמֶן וְלֶחֶם לְבַב־אֱנֹושׁ יִסְעָד	15 and that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart.
16 יִשְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵי יְהוָה אַרְזֵי לְבָנֹון אֲשֶׁר נָטָע	16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:
17 אֲשֶׁרשָׁ־ם צִפֳּרִים יְקַנֵּנוּ חֲסִידָה בְּרֹושִׁים בֵּיתָהּ	17 there the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.
18 הָרִים הַגְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִים סְלָעִים מַחְסֶה לַשְׁפַנִּים	18 The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
19 עָשָׂה יָרֵחַ לְמֹועֲדִים מֶשׁ יָדַע מְבֹואֹו	19 He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 תָּשֶׁת־חֹשֶׁךְ וִיהִי לָיְלָה בֹּו־תִרְמֹשׂ כָּל־חַיְתֹו־יָעַר	20 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
21 הַכְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִים לַטָּרֶף וּלְבַקֵּשׁ מֵאֵל אָכְלָם	21 The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.
22 תִּזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפוּן וְאֶל־מְעֹונֹתָם יִרְבָּצוּן	22 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.
23 יֵצֵא אָדָם לְפָעֳלֹו וְלַעֲבֹדָתֹו עֲדֵי־עָרֶב	23 Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.
24 מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ׀ יְהוָה כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶךָ	24 How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
25 זֶה ׀ הַיָּם גָּדֹול וּרְחַב יָדָיִם שָׁם־רֶמֶשׂ וְאֵין מִסְפָּר חַיֹּות קְטַנֹּות עִם־גְּדֹלֹות	25 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.
26 ם אֳנִיֹּות יְהַלֵּכוּן לִוְיָתָן זֶה־יָצַרְתָּ לְשַׂחֶק־בֹּו	26 There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.
27 כֻּלָּם אֵלֶיךָ יְשַׂבֵּרוּן לָתֵת אָכְלָם בְּעִתֹּו	27 All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
28 תִּתֵּן לָהֶם יִלְקֹטוּן תִּפְתַּח יָדְךָ יִשְׂבְּעוּן טֹוב	28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
29 תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבוּן	29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
30 תְּשַׁלַּח רוּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵאוּן וּתְחַדֵּשׁ פְּנֵי אֲדָמָה	30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
31 יְהִי כְבֹוד יְהוָה לְעֹולָם יִשְׂמַח יְהוָה בְּמַעֲשָׂיו	31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
32 הַמַּבִּיט לָאָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָד יִגַּע בֶּהָרִים וְיֶעֱשָׁנוּ	32 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth 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 my being.
34 יֶעֱרַב עָלָיו שִׂיחִי אָנֹכִי אֶשְׂמַח בַּיהוָה	34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.
35 יִתַּמּוּ חַטָּאִים ׀ מִן־הָאָרֶץ וּרְשָׁעִים ׀ עֹוד אֵינָם בָּרֲכִי נַפְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָה הַלְלוּ־יָהּ	35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
