Ps 104

BBless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. (LXX 103:1; Rahlfs 103:1) בָּרֲכִ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְה֫וָ֥ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי גָּדַ֣לְתָּ מְּאֹ֑ד ה֭וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃ 2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: (LXX 103:2; Rahlfs 103:2) עֹֽטֶה־א֭וֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נוֹטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃ 3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: (LXX 103:3; Rahlfs 103:3) הַ֥מְקָרֶֽה בַמַּ֗יִם עֲֽלִיּ֫וֹתָ֥יו הַשָּׂם־עָבִ֥ים רְכוּב֑וֹ הַֽ֝מְהַלֵּ֗ךְ עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ 4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: (LXX 103:4; Rahlfs 103:4) עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּח֑וֹת מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃ 5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. (LXX 103:5; Rahlfs 103:5) יָֽסַד־אֶ֭רֶץ עַל־מְכוֹנֶ֑יהָ בַּל־תִּ֝מּ֗וֹט עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃ 6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. (LXX 103:6; Rahlfs 103:6) תְּ֭הוֹם כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּית֑וֹ עַל־הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־מָֽיִם׃ 7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. (LXX 103:7; Rahlfs 103:7) מִן־גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־ק֥וֹל רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃ 8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. (LXX 103:8; Rahlfs 103:8) יַעֲל֣וּ הָ֭רִים יֵרְד֣וּ בְקָע֑וֹת אֶל־מְ֝ק֗וֹם זֶ֤ה ׀ יָסַ֬דְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃ 9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. (LXX 103:9; Rahlfs 103:9) גְּֽבוּל־שַׂ֭מְתָּ בַּל־יַֽעֲבֹר֑וּן בַּל־יְ֝שׁוּב֗וּן לְכַסּ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 10He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. (LXX 103:10; Rahlfs 103:10) הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ 11They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. (LXX 103:11; Rahlfs 103:11) יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־חַיְת֣וֹ שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃ 12By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. (LXX 103:12; Rahlfs 103:12) עֲ֭לֵיהֶם עוֹף־הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׁכּ֑וֹן מִבֵּ֥ין עֳ֝פָאיִ֗ם יִתְּנוּ־קֽוֹל׃ 13He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. (LXX 103:13; Rahlfs 103:13) מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 14He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; (LXX 103:14; Rahlfs 103:14) מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְה֥וֹצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart. (LXX 103:15; Rahlfs 103:15) וְיַ֤יִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּ֬ח לְֽבַב־אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְהַצְהִ֣יל פָּנִ֣ים מִשָּׁ֑מֶן וְ֝לֶ֗חֶם לְֽבַב־אֱנ֥וֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃ 16The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; (LXX 103:16; Rahlfs 103:16) יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃ 17Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. (LXX 103:17; Rahlfs 103:17) אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרוֹשִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃ 18The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. (LXX 103:18; Rahlfs 103:18) הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃ 19He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. (LXX 103:19; Rahlfs 103:19) עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃ 20Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. (LXX 103:20; Rahlfs 103:20) תָּֽשֶׁת־חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וִ֣יהִי לָ֑יְלָה בּֽוֹ־תִ֝רְמֹ֗שׂ כָּל־חַיְתוֹ־יָֽעַר׃ 21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. (LXX 103:21; Rahlfs 103:21) הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃ 22The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. (LXX 103:22; Rahlfs 103:22) תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־מְ֝עוֹנֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃ 23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. (LXX 103:23; Rahlfs 103:23) יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳל֑וֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָת֣וֹ עֲדֵי־עָֽרֶב׃ 24O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. (LXX 103:24; Rahlfs 103:24) מָֽה־רַבּ֬וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֨יךָ ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כֻּ֭לָּם בְּחָכְמָ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ מָלְאָ֥ה הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃ 25So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. (LXX 103:25; Rahlfs 103:25) זֶ֤ה ׀ הַיָּ֥ם גָּדוֹל֮ וּרְחַ֪ב יָ֫דָ֥יִם שָֽׁם־רֶ֭מֶשׂ וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר חַיּ֥וֹת קְ֝טַנּ֗וֹת עִם־גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃ 26There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. (LXX 103:26; Rahlfs 103:26) שָׁ֭ם אֳנִיּ֣וֹת יְהַלֵּכ֑וּן לִ֝וְיָתָ֗ן זֶֽה־יָצַ֥רְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־בּֽוֹ׃ 27These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. (LXX 103:27; Rahlfs 103:27) כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃ 28That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. (LXX 103:28; Rahlfs 103:28) תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֽוֹב׃ 29Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. (LXX 103:29; Rahlfs 103:29) תַּסְתִּ֥יר פָּנֶיךָ֮ יִֽבָּהֵ֫ל֥וּן תֹּסֵ֣ף ר֭וּחָם יִגְוָע֑וּן וְֽאֶל־עֲפָרָ֥ם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃ 30Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. (LXX 103:30; Rahlfs 103:30) תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃ 31The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. (LXX 103:31; Rahlfs 103:31) יְהִ֤י כְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֣ה לְעוֹלָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃ 32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. (LXX 103:32; Rahlfs 103:32) הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃ 33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. (LXX 103:33; Rahlfs 103:33) אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ 34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. (LXX 103:34; Rahlfs 103:34) יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃ 35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord. (LXX 103:35; Rahlfs 103:35) יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ ע֤וֹד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
