Ps 104

BBless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty. (LXX 103:1; Rahlfs 103:1) בָּרֲכִ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְה֫וָ֥ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי גָּדַ֣לְתָּ מְּאֹ֑ד ה֭וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ 2He wraps Himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent, (LXX 103:2; Rahlfs 103:2) עֹֽטֶה־א֭וֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נוֹטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ 3laying the beams of His chambers in the waters above, making the clouds His chariot, walking on the wings of the wind. (LXX 103:3; Rahlfs 103:3) הַ֥מְקָרֶֽה בַמַּ֗יִם עֲֽלִיּ֫וֹתָ֥יו הַשָּׂם־עָבִ֥ים רְכוּב֑וֹ הַֽ֝מְהַלֵּ֗ךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 4He makes the winds His messengers, flames of fire His servants. (LXX 103:4; Rahlfs 103:4) עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּח֑וֹת מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ 5He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved. (LXX 103:5; Rahlfs 103:5) יָֽסַד־אֶ֭רֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶ֑יהָ בַּל־תִּ֝מּ֗וֹט עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃ 6You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. (LXX 103:6; Rahlfs 103:6) תְּ֭הוֹם כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּית֑וֹ עַל־הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃ 7At Your rebuke the waters fled; at the sound of Your thunder they hurried away— (LXX 103:7; Rahlfs 103:7) מִן־גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־ק֥וֹל רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ 8the mountains rose and the valleys sank to the place You assigned for them— (LXX 103:8; Rahlfs 103:8) יַעֲל֣וּ הָ֭רִים יֵרְד֣וּ בְקָע֑וֹת אֶל־מְ֝ק֗וֹם זֶ֤ה ׀ יָסַ֬דְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ 9You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth. (LXX 103:9; Rahlfs 103:9) גְּֽבוּל־שַׂ֭מְתָּ בַּל־יַֽעֲבֹר֑וּן בַּל־יְ֝שׁוּב֗וּן לְכַסּ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 10He sends forth springs in the valleys; they flow between the mountains. (LXX 103:10; Rahlfs 103:10) הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ 11They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. (LXX 103:11; Rahlfs 103:11) יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְת֣וֹ שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃ 12The birds of the air nest beside the springs; they sing among the branches. (LXX 103:12; Rahlfs 103:12) עֲ֭לֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׁכּ֑וֹן מִבֵּ֥ין עֳ֝פָאיִ֗ם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ 13He waters the mountains from His chambers; the earth is satisfied by the fruit of His works. (LXX 103:13; Rahlfs 103:13) מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 14He makes the grass grow for the livestock and provides crops for man to cultivate, bringing forth food from the earth: (LXX 103:14; Rahlfs 103:14) מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְה֥וֹצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 15wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil that makes his face to shine, and bread that sustains his heart. (LXX 103:15; Rahlfs 103:15) וְיַ֤יִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּ֬ח לְֽבַב־אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְהַצְהִ֣יל פָּנִ֣ים מִשָּׁ֑מֶן וְ֝לֶ֗חֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנ֥וֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ 16The trees of the Lord have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted, (LXX 103:16; Rahlfs 103:16) יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃ 17where the birds build their nests; the stork makes her home in the cypresses. (LXX 103:17; Rahlfs 103:17) אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרוֹשִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ 18The high mountains are for the wild goats, the cliffs a refuge for the rock badgers. (LXX 103:18; Rahlfs 103:18) הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ 19He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set. (LXX 103:19; Rahlfs 103:19) עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃ 20You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the beasts of the forest prowl. (LXX 103:20; Rahlfs 103:20) תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וִ֣יהִי לָ֑יְלָה בּֽוֹ־תִ֝רְמֹ֗שׂ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃ 21The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God. (LXX 103:21; Rahlfs 103:21) הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃ 22The sun rises, and they withdraw; they lie down in their dens. (LXX 103:22; Rahlfs 103:22) תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־מְ֝עוֹנֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ 23Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until evening. (LXX 103:23; Rahlfs 103:23) יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳל֑וֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָת֣וֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ 24How many are Your works, O Lord! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures. (LXX 103:24; Rahlfs 103:24) מָֽה־רַבּ֬וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֨יךָ ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כֻּ֭לָּם בְּחָכְמָ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ מָלְאָ֥ה הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ 25Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small. (LXX 103:25; Rahlfs 103:25) זֶ֤ה ׀ הַיָּ֥ם גָּדוֹל֮ וּרְחַ֪ב יָ֫דָ֥יִם שָֽׁם־רֶ֭מֶשׂ וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר חַיּ֥וֹת קְ֝טַנּ֗וֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ 26There the ships pass, and Leviathan, which You formed to frolic there. (LXX 103:26; Rahlfs 103:26) שָׁ֭ם אֳנִיּ֣וֹת יְהַלֵּכ֑וּן לִ֝וְיָתָ֗ן זֶֽה־יָצַ֥רְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃ 27All creatures look to You to give them their food in due season. (LXX 103:27; Rahlfs 103:27) כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ 28When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things. (LXX 103:28; Rahlfs 103:28) תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֽוֹב׃ 29When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust. (LXX 103:29; Rahlfs 103:29) תַּסְתִּ֥יר פָּנֶיךָ֮ יִֽבָּהֵ֫ל֥וּן תֹּסֵ֣ף ר֭וּחָם יִגְוָע֑וּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָ֥ם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ 30When You send Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth. (LXX 103:30; Rahlfs 103:30) תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃ 31May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works. (LXX 103:31; Rahlfs 103:31) יְהִ֤י כְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֣ה לְעוֹלָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ 32He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder. (LXX 103:32; Rahlfs 103:32) הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ 33I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. (LXX 103:33; Rahlfs 103:33) אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ 34May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the Lord. (LXX 103:34; Rahlfs 103:34) יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃ 35May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah! (LXX 103:35; Rahlfs 103:35) יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ ע֤וֹד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
