< Mazmur 104 >

1 Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku! Betapa agung Engkau, ya TUHAN Allahku! Engkau berpakaian kemegahan dan kemuliaan,
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with honour and majesty.
2 dan berselubung cahaya. Engkau membentangkan langit seperti kemah,
Who cover yourself with light as with a garment: who stretch out the heavens like a curtain:
3 dan membangun Rumah-Mu di atas air di langit. Awan-awan Kaujadikan kereta-Mu, Engkau mengendarai sayap angin.
Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters: who makes the clouds his chariot: who walks upon the wings of the wind:
4 Angin Kaujadikan utusan-Mu, dan kilat pelayan-Mu.
Who makes his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Dengan kukuh bumi Kaupasang pada alasnya, sehingga tak akan goyang untuk selamanya.
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6 Engkau menyelubunginya dengan samudra raya, airnya menggenangi puncak-puncak pegunungan.
You covered it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 Waktu Kauhardik, air itu mengalir, mengalir dengan deras karena gemuruh suara-Mu.
At your rebuke they fled; at the voice of your thunder they hasted away.
8 Air mengalir melalui gunung-gunung ke dalam lembah, ke tempat yang Kausediakan baginya.
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which you have founded for them.
9 Kautentukan batas-batas yang tak boleh ia lalui, supaya jangan kembali menggenangi bumi.
You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 Engkau membualkan mata air di lembah-lembah, anak sungai mengalir di antara bukit-bukit,
He sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 untuk memberi minum semua binatang di ladang, dan melepaskan haus keledai-keledai hutan.
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 Di dekatnya burung-burung membuat sarang; mereka berkicau di antara daun-daunan.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13 Dari langit Kauturunkan hujan di pegunungan, bumi penuh dengan hasil karya-Mu.
He waters the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your works.
14 Engkau menumbuhkan rumput untuk hewan, dan bagi manusia segala macam tanaman. Maka ia dapat bercocok tanam,
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 dan menghasilkan air anggur yang menyenangkan. Juga minyak zaitun yang membuat mukanya berseri, dan makanan yang memberi dia tenaga.
And wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthens man's heart.
16 Pohon-pohon TUHAN mendapat hujan berlimpah pohon cemara Libanon yang ditanam-Nya sendiri.
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
17 Di situ bersaranglah burung-burung, burung ranggung bersarang di puncaknya.
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 Gunung-gunung tinggi menjadi tempat kambing hutan; pelanduk bersembunyi di batu karang.
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 Engkau membuat bulan menjadi penanda waktu, matahari tahu saat terbenamnya.
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knows his going down.
20 Bila Engkau menurunkan gelap, hari menjadi malam, dan semua binatang hutan berkeliaran.
You make darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21 Singa-singa muda mengaum mencari mangsa, meminta makanan yang disediakan Allah.
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 Bila matahari terbit, mereka menyingkir dan berbaring di tempat persembunyiannya.
The sun arises, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
23 Lalu keluarlah manusia untuk melakukan pekerjaannya, dan terus bekerja sampai hari senja.
Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24 Betapa banyak karya-Mu, TUHAN, semuanya Kaujadikan dengan bijaksana; bumi penuh dengan ciptaan-Mu.
O LORD, how manifold are your works! in wisdom have you made them all: the earth is full of your riches.
25 Lihatlah laut yang luas terbentang, dengan makhluk besar kecil tak terbilang.
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 Di situ kapal-kapal berlayar, dan Lewiatan, naga laut ciptaan-Mu, bermain-main.
There go the ships: there is that leviathan (sea serpent), whom you have made to play therein.
27 Mereka semua mengharapkan Engkau, untuk mendapat makanan pada waktunya.
These wait all upon you; that you may give them their food in due season.
28 Engkau memberi, dan mereka mengumpulkannya, Engkau menyediakannya, dan mereka makan sampai puas.
That you give them they gather: you open your hand, they are filled with good.
29 Bila Engkau berpaling, mereka takut; bila Kauambil napasnya, mereka binasa, dan kembali menjadi debu seperti semula.
You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Tetapi bila mereka Kauberi napas, mereka dijadikan; Engkau memberi hidup baru kepada bumi.
You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
31 Semoga keagungan TUHAN tetap selama-lamanya! Semoga Ia gembira dengan segala ciptaan-Nya!
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 Ia memandang bumi dan membuatnya gemetar, gunung-gunung disentuh-Nya, sehingga asapnya keluar.
He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the hills, and they smoke.
33 Aku mau menyanyi bagi TUHAN selama hidupku, menyanyikan pujian bagi Allahku selama aku ada.
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Semoga nyanyianku berkenan kepada-Nya, sebab Dialah yang membuat hatiku gembira.
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Biarlah orang berdosa lenyap dari muka bumi, biarlah orang jahat habis binasa. Pujilah TUHAN, hai jiwaku! Pujilah TUHAN!
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless you the LORD, O my soul. Praise all of you the LORD.
