المَزامِير 104

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَانَفْسِي الرَّبَّ. مَا أَعْظَمَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي فَأَنْتَ مُتَسَرْبِلٌ بِالْمَجْدِ وَالْجَلاَلِ.

Bless Jehovah, my soul. Jehovah, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with splendor and majesty.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ الْلاَبِسُ النُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، وَالْبَاسِطُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَخَيْمَةٍ.

He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

٣ 3 الْمُقِيمُ بَيْتَكَ فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ الْعُلْيَا، الْجَاعِلُ مِنَ السُّحُبِ مَرْكَبَتَكَ، السَّائِرُ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيحِ،

He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

٤ 4 الصَّانِعُ ملاَئِكَتَكَ رِيَاحاً وَخُدَّامَكَ لَهِيبَ نَارٍ.

He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.

٥ 5 الْمُؤَسِّسُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِهَا فَلاَ تَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ.

He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever and ever.

٦ 6 غَمَرْتَهَا بِاللُّجَجِ كَثَوْبٍ فَتَغَطَّتْ رُؤُوسُ الْجِبَالِ بِالْمِيَاهِ.

You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains.

٧ 7 مِنْ زَجْرِكَ تَهْرُبُ الْمِيَاهُ، وَمِنْ قَصْفِ رَعْدِكَ تَفِرُّ.

At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

٨ 8 ارْتَفَعَتِ الْجِبَالُ وَغَاصَتِ الْوِهَادُ، إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي خَصَّصْتَهُ لَهَا.

The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which you had assigned to them.

٩ 9 وَضَعْتَ لِلْبَحْرِ حَدّاً لاَ يَتَعَدَّاهُ حَتَّى لاَ تَعُودَ مِيَاهُهُ تَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ.

You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they do not turn again to cover the earth.

١٠ 10 أَنْتَ الْمُفَجِّرُ الْيَنَابِيعَ فِي الأَوْدِيَةِ، فَتَجْرِي بَيْنَ الْجِبَالِ.

He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

١١ 11 تَسْقِي جَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَرْوِي مِنْهَا حَمِيرُ الْوَحْشِ عَطَشَهَا.

They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

١٢ 12 إِلَى جُوَارِهَا تُعَشِّشُ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ، وَتُغَرِّدُ بَيْنَ الأَغْصَانِ.

The birds of the sky nest by them; among the branches they give forth a sound.

١٣ 13 تَسْقِي الْجِبَالَ مِنْ أَمْطَارِ سَمَائِكَ، وَتَمْتَلِىءُ الأَرْضُ مِنْ أَثْمَارِ أَعْمَالِكَ.

He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

١٤ 14 أَنْتَ الْمُنْبِتُ عُشْباً لِلْبَهَائِمِ وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ الإِنْسَانِ، لإِنْتَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ،

He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:

١٥ 15 وَخَمْرٍ تُفَرِّحُ قَلْبَ الإِنْسَانِ وَتُوَرِّدُ وَجْهَهُ فَيَلْمَعُ كَبَرِيقِ الزَّيْتِ، وَخُبْزٍ يُسْنِدُ قَلْبَهُ.

wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

١٦ 16 تَرْتَوِي أَشْجَارُ الرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ الَّذِي غَرَسَهُ.

Jehovah's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;

١٧ 17 حَيْثُ تَبْنِي الطُّيُورُ أَوْكَارَهَا، أَمَّا اللَّقْلَقُ فَفِي السَّرْوِ مَبِيتُهُ.

where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees.

١٨ 18 الْجِبَالُ الْعَالِيَةُ مَوْطِنُ الْوُعُولِ، وَالصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

١٩ 19 أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ الْقَمَرَ لِتَحْدِيدِ مَوَاقِيتِ الشُّهُورِ، وَالشَّمْسُ تَعْرِفُ مَوْعِدَ مَغْرِبِهَا.

He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.

٢٠ 20 تُحِلُّ الظُّلْمَةَ فَيَصِيرُ لَيْلٌ يَجُوسُ فِيهِ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ الْغَابَةِ.

You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

٢١ 21 تُزَمْجِرُ الأَشْبَالُ طَلَباً لِفَرِيسَتِهَا مُلْتَمِسَةً طَعَامَهَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

٢٢ 22 وَمَا إِنْ تُشْرِقُ الشَّمْسُ حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى عَرَائِنِهَا وَتَرْبِضَ فِيهَا

The sun rises, and they steal away, and lie down in their dens.

٢٣ 23 أَمَّا الإِنْسَانُ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ وَشُغْلِهِ حَتَّى الْمَسَاءِ.

Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.

٢٤ 24 يَارَبُّ مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَكَ، كُلَّهَا صَنَعْتَ بِحِكْمَةٍ، فَامْتَلأَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ غِنَاكَ.

Jehovah, how many are your works. In wisdom have you made them all. The earth is full of your riches.

٢٥ 25 هَذَا الْبَحْرُ الْكَبِيرُ الْوَاسِعُ، الَّذِي يَعِجُّ بِمَخْلُوقَاتٍ لاَ تُحْصَى مِنْ حَيَوَانَاتٍ مَائِيَّةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ وَكَبِيرَةٍ

There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable living things, both small and large animals.

٢٦ 26 تَجْرِي فِيهِ السُّفُنُ، تَمْرَحُ فِيهِ الْحِيتَانُ الَّتِي خَلَقْتَهَا.

There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

٢٧ 27 تَلْتَفِتُ جَمِيعُهَا إِلَيْكَ كَيْ تَرْزُقَهَا طَعَامَهَا فِي أَوَانِهِ.

All of them look to you to give them their food at the proper time.

٢٨ 28 أَنْتَ تُعْطِيهَا وَهِيَ تَلْتَقِطُ، تَبْسُطُ يَدَكَ لَهَا فَتَشْبَعُ خَيْراً.

You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

٢٩ 29 تَحْجُبُ عَنْهَا وَجْهَكَ فَتَفْزَعُ. تَقْبِضُ أَرْوَاحَهَا فَتَمُوتُ، وَإِلَى تُرَابِهَا تَعُودُ.

You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ ثَانِيَةً وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ الأَرْضِ.

You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground.

٣١ 31 مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ يَدُومُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. الرَّبُّ يَفْرَحُ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. Let Jehovah rejoice in his works.

٣٢ 32 يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَجِفُ، يَمَسُّ الْجِبَالَ فَتَمْتَلِئُ دُخَاناً

He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

٣٣ 33 أُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ وَأَشْدُو لإِلَهِي مَادُمْتُ حَيّاً.

I will sing to Jehovah all my life. I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِالرَّبِّ.

Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.

٣٥ 35 لِيَنْقَطِعِ الْخُطَاةُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلْيَبِدِ الأَشْرَارُ. بَارِكِي يَانَفْسِي الرَّبَّ. هَلِّلُويَا.

Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, my soul. Praise JAH.
