< תְהִלִּים 103 >
לְדָוִ֙ד ׀ בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וְכָל־קְ֝רָבַ֗י אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם קָדְשֹֽׁו׃ | 1 |
Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וְאַל־תִּ֝שְׁכְּחִ֗י כָּל־גְּמוּלָֽיו׃ | 2 |
Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
הַסֹּלֵ֥חַ לְכָל־עֲוֹנֵ֑כִי הָ֝רֹפֵ֗א לְכָל־תַּחֲלֻאָֽיְכִי׃ | 3 |
He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
הַגֹּואֵ֣ל מִשַּׁ֣חַת חַיָּ֑יְכִי הַֽ֝מְעַטְּרֵ֗כִי חֶ֣סֶד וְרַחֲמִֽים׃ | 4 |
He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.
הַמַּשְׂבִּ֣יַע בַּטֹּ֣וב עֶדְיֵ֑ךְ תִּתְחַדֵּ֖שׁ כַּנֶּ֣שֶׁר נְעוּרָֽיְכִי׃ | 5 |
He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
עֹשֵׂ֣ה צְדָקֹ֣ות יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝מִשְׁפָּטִ֗ים לְכָל־עֲשׁוּקִֽים׃ | 6 |
The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
יֹודִ֣יעַ דְּרָכָ֣יו לְמֹשֶׁ֑ה לִבְנֵ֥י יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל עֲלִילֹֽותָיו׃ | 7 |
He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
רַח֣וּם וְחַנּ֣וּן יְהוָ֑ה אֶ֖רֶךְ אַפַּ֣יִם וְרַב־חָֽסֶד׃ | 8 |
The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
לֹֽא־לָנֶ֥צַח יָרִ֑יב וְלֹ֖א לְעֹולָ֣ם יִטֹּֽור׃ | 9 |
His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
לֹ֣א כַ֭חֲטָאֵינוּ עָ֣שָׂה לָ֑נוּ וְלֹ֥א כַ֝עֲוֹנֹתֵ֗ינוּ גָּמַ֥ל עָלֵֽינוּ׃ | 10 |
He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
כִּ֤י כִגְבֹ֣הַּ שָׁ֭מַיִם עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ גָּבַ֥ר חַ֝סְדֹּ֗ו עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃ | 11 |
For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.
כִּרְחֹ֣ק מִ֭זְרָח מִֽמַּֽעֲרָ֑ב הִֽרְחִ֥יק מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ אֶת־פְּשָׁעֵֽינוּ׃ | 12 |
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
כְּרַחֵ֣ם אָ֭ב עַל־בָּנִ֑ים רִחַ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַל־יְרֵאָֽיו׃ | 13 |
As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
כִּי־ה֖וּא יָדַ֣ע יִצְרֵ֑נוּ זָ֝כ֗וּר כִּי־עָפָ֥ר אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃ | 14 |
For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.
אֱ֭נֹושׁ כֶּחָצִ֣יר יָמָ֑יו כְּצִ֥יץ הַ֝שָּׂדֶ֗ה כֵּ֣ן יָצִֽיץ׃ | 15 |
As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
כִּ֤י ר֣וּחַ עָֽבְרָה־בֹּ֣ו וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ וְלֹא־יַכִּירֶ֖נּוּ עֹ֣וד מְקֹומֹֽו׃ | 16 |
The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
וְחֶ֤סֶד יְהוָ֙ה ׀ מֵעֹולָ֣ם וְעַד־עֹ֭ולָם עַל־יְרֵאָ֑יו וְ֝צִדְקָתֹ֗ו לִבְנֵ֥י בָנִֽים׃ | 17 |
But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
לְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י בְרִיתֹ֑ו וּלְזֹכְרֵ֥י פִ֝קֻּדָ֗יו לַעֲשֹׂותָֽם׃ | 18 |
If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
יְֽהוָ֗ה בַּ֭שָּׁמַיִם הֵכִ֣ין כִּסְאֹ֑ו וּ֝מַלְכוּתֹ֗ו בַּכֹּ֥ל מָשָֽׁלָה׃ | 19 |
The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
בָּרֲכ֥וּ יְהוָ֗ה מַלְאָ֫כָ֥יו גִּבֹּ֣רֵי כֹ֭חַ עֹשֵׂ֣י דְבָרֹ֑ו לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗עַ בְּקֹ֣ול דְּבָרֹֽו׃ | 20 |
Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
בָּרֲכ֣וּ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־צְבָאָ֑יו מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו עֹשֵׂ֥י רְצֹונֹֽו׃ | 21 |
Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.
בָּרֲכ֤וּ יְהוָ֙ה ׀ כָּֽל־מַעֲשָׂ֗יו בְּכָל־מְקֹמֹ֥ות מֶמְשַׁלְתֹּ֑ו בָּרֲכִ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ | 22 |
Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
