اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 104

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، قَدْ عَظُمْتَ جِدًّا. مَجْدًا وَجَلَالًا لَبِسْتَ.

To David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great. You have clothed yourself with confession and beauty;

٢ 2 ٱللَّابِسُ ٱلنُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، ٱلْبَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَشُقَّةٍ.

you are dressed with light like a garment, while you stretch out heaven like a tent.

٣ 3 ٱلْمُسَقِّفُ عَلَالِيَهُ بِٱلْمِيَاهِ. ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مَرْكَبَتَهُ، ٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

You cover its heights with water. You set the clouds as your stairs. You walk upon the wings of the winds.

٤ 4 ٱلصَّانِعُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ رِيَاحًا، وَخُدَّامَهُ نَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً.

You make your Angels a breath of life, and your ministers a burning fire.

٥ 5 ٱلْمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِهَا فَلَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

You founded the earth upon its stable base. It will not be bent from age to age.

٦ 6 كَسَوْتَهَا ٱلْغَمْرَ كَثَوْبٍ. فَوْقَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَقِفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ.

The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. The waters will remain standing above the mountains.

٧ 7 مِنِ ٱنْتِهَارِكَ تَهْرُبُ، مِنْ صَوْتِ رَعْدِكَ تَفِرُّ.

At your rebuke, they will flee. At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.

٨ 8 تَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. تَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱلْبِقَاعِ، إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَسَّسْتَهُ لَهَا.

The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, to the place which you have founded for them.

٩ 9 وَضَعْتَ لَهَا تَخْمًا لَا تَتَعَدَّاهُ. لَا تَرْجِعُ لِتُغَطِّيَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

You have set a limit that they will not cross. And they will not return to cover the earth.

١٠ 10 اَلْمُفَجِّرُ عُيُونًا فِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ. بَيْنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَجْرِي.

You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.

١١ 11 تَسْقِي كُلَّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ. تَكْسِرُ ٱلْفِرَاءُ ظَمْأَهَا.

All the wild beasts of the field will drink. The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.

١٢ 12 فَوْقَهَا طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَسْكُنُ. مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ تُسَمِّعُ صَوْتًا.

Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.

١٣ 13 ٱلسَّاقِي ٱلْجِبَالَ مِنْ عَلَالِيهِ. مِنْ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِكَ تَشْبَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,

١٤ 14 ٱلْمُنْبِتُ عُشْبًا لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِخْرَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

producing grass for cattle and herbs for the service of men. So may you draw bread from the earth,

١٥ 15 وَخَمْرٍ تُفَرِّحُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِلْمَاعِ وَجْهِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتِ، وَخُبْزٍ يُسْنِدُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

and wine, in order to cheer the heart of man. Then he may gladden his face with oil, and bread will confirm the heart of man.

١٦ 16 تَشْبَعُ أَشْجَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ.

The trees of the field will be saturated, along with the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted.

١٧ 17 حَيْثُ تُعَشِّشُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْعَصَافِيرُ. أَمَّا ٱللَّقْلَقُ فَٱلسَّرْوُ بَيْتُهُ.

There, the sparrows will make their nests. The leader of them is the house of the heron.

١٨ 18 ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلْعَالِيَةُ لِلْوُعُولِ، ٱلصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The heights of the hills are for the deer; the rock is a refuge for the hedgehog.

١٩ 19 صَنَعَ ٱلْقَمَرَ لِلْمَوَاقِيتِ. ٱلشَّمْسُ تَعْرِفُ مَغْرِبَهَا.

He has made the moon for seasons; the sun knows its setting.

٢٠ 20 تَجْعَلُ ظُلْمَةً فَيَصِيرُ لَيْلٌ. فِيهِ يَدِبُّ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

You appointed darkness, and it has become night; all the beasts of the forest will cross through it.

٢١ 21 ٱلْأَشْبَالُ تُزَمْجِرُ لِتَخْطَفَ، وَلِتَلْتَمِسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ طَعَامَهَا.

The young lions will roar, while searching for and seizing their meal from God.

٢٢ 22 تُشْرِقُ ٱلشَّمْسُ فَتَجْتَمِعُ، وَفِي مَآوِيهَا تَرْبِضُ.

The sun arose, and they were gathered together; and in their dens, they will lie down together.

٢٣ 23 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، وَإِلَى شُغْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

Man will go forth to his work and to his activities, until the evening.

٢٤ 24 مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَكَ يَارَبُّ! كُلَّهَا بِحِكْمَةٍ صَنَعْتَ. مَلْآنةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ غِنَاكَ.

How great are your works, O Lord! You have made all things in wisdom. The earth has been filled with your possessions.

٢٥ 25 هَذَا ٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْوَاسِعُ ٱلْأَطْرَافِ. هُنَاكَ دَبَّابَاتٌ بِلَا عَدَدٍ. صِغَارُ حَيَوَانٍ مَعَ كِبَارٍ.

This sea is great and its hands are spacious. There are creeping things without number: the small animals with the great.

٢٦ 26 هُنَاكَ تَجْرِي ٱلسُّفُنُ. لِوِيَاثَانُ هَذَا خَلَقْتَهُ لِيَلْعَبَ فِيهِ.

There, the ships will pass by this sea-serpent that you have formed to mock them.

٢٧ 27 كُلُّهَا إِيَّاكَ تَتَرَجَّى لِتَرْزُقَهَا قُوتَهَا فِي حِينِهِ.

All these expect you to give them food in due time.

٢٨ 28 تُعْطِيهَا فَتَلْتَقِطُ. تَفْتَحُ يَدَكَ فَتَشْبَعُ خَيْرًا.

What you give to them, they will gather. When you open your hand, they will all be filled with goodness.

٢٩ 29 تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ فَتَرْتَاعُ. تَنْزِعُ أَرْوَاحَهَا فَتَمُوتُ، وَإِلَى تُرَابِهَا تَعُودُ.

But if you turn your face away, they will be disturbed. You will take away their breath, and they will fail, and they will return to their dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ، وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

You will send forth your Spirit, and they will be created. And you will renew the face of the earth.

٣١ 31 يَكُونُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. يَفْرَحُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

May the glory of the Lord be for all ages. The Lord will rejoice in his works.

٣٢ 32 ٱلنَّاظِرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَعِدُ. يَمَسُّ ٱلْجِبَالَ فَتُدَخِّنُ.

He considers the earth, and he makes it tremble. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

٣٣ 33 أُغَنِّي لِلرَّبِّ فِي حَيَاتِي. أُرَنِّمُ لِإِلَهِي مَا دُمْتُ مَوْجُودًا.

I will sing to the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God, as long as I am.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِٱلرَّبِّ.

May my speech be pleasing to him. Truly, I will take delight in the Lord.

٣٥ 35 لِتُبَدِ ٱلْخُطَاةُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَا يَكُونُوا بَعْدُ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. هَلِّلُويَا.

Let sinners fade away from the earth, along with the unjust, so that they may not be. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
