1Let all that I am praise the LORD. O LORD my God, how great you are! You are robed with honor and majesty.

1בָּרֲכִ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י אֶת־ יְה֫וָ֥ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי גָּדַ֣לְתָּ מְּאֹ֑ד ה֭וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר לָבָֽשְׁתָּ׃

2You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;

2עֹֽטֶה־ א֭וֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נוֹטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃

3you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.

3הַ֥מְקָרֶֽה בַמַּ֗יִם עֲ‍ֽלִיּ֫וֹתָ֥יו הַשָּׂם־ עָבִ֥ים רְכוּב֑וֹ הַֽ֝מְהַלֵּ֗ךְ עַל־ כַּנְפֵי־ רֽוּחַ׃

4The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.

4עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּח֑וֹת מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃

5You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.

5יָֽסַד־ אֶ֭רֶץ עַל־ מְכוֹנֶ֑יהָ בַּל־ תִּ֝מּ֗וֹט עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

6You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.

6תְּ֭הוֹם כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּית֑וֹ עַל־ הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־ מָֽיִם׃

7At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.

7מִן־ גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־ ק֥וֹל רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃

8Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.

8יַעֲל֣וּ הָ֭רִים יֵרְד֣וּ בְקָע֑וֹת אֶל־ מְ֝ק֗וֹם זֶ֤ה ׀ יָסַ֬דְתָּ לָהֶֽם׃

9Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

9גְּֽבוּל־ שַׂ֭מְתָּ בַּל־ יַֽעֲבֹר֑וּן בַּל־ יְ֝שׁוּב֗וּן לְכַסּ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

10You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.

10הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃

11They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

11יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־ חַיְת֣וֹ שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃

12The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.

12עֲ֭לֵיהֶם עוֹף־ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׁכּ֑וֹן מִבֵּ֥ין עֳ֝פָאיִ֗ם יִתְּנוּ־ קֽוֹל׃

13You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.

13מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃

14You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth—

14מַצְמִ֤יחַ חָצִ֨יר ׀ לַבְּהֵמָ֗ה וְ֭עֵשֶׂב לַעֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאָדָ֑ם לְה֥וֹצִיא לֶ֝֗חֶם מִן־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

15wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.

15וְיַ֤יִן ׀ יְשַׂמַּ֬ח לְֽבַב־ אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְהַצְהִ֣יל פָּנִ֣ים מִשָּׁ֑מֶן וְ֝לֶ֗חֶם לְֽבַב־ אֱנ֥וֹשׁ יִסְעָֽד׃

16The trees of the LORD are well cared for— the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

16יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃

17There the birds make their nests, and the storks make their homes in the cypresses.

17אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרוֹשִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃

18High in the mountains live the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.

18הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃

19You made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to set.

19עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃

20You send the darkness, and it becomes night, when all the forest animals prowl about.

20תָּֽשֶׁת־ חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וִ֣יהִי לָ֑יְלָה בּֽוֹ־ תִ֝רְמֹ֗שׂ כָּל־ חַיְתוֹ־ יָֽעַר׃

21Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God.

21הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃

22At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.

22תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־ מְ֝עוֹנֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃

23Then people go off to their work, where they labor until evening.

23יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳל֑וֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָת֣וֹ עֲדֵי־ עָֽרֶב׃

24O LORD, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures.

24מָֽה־ רַבּ֬וּ מַעֲשֶׂ֨יךָ ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה כֻּ֭לָּם בְּחָכְמָ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתָ מָלְאָ֥ה הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ קִנְיָנֶֽךָ׃

25Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every kind, both large and small.

25זֶ֤ה ׀ הַיָּ֥ם גָּדוֹל֮ וּרְחַ֪ב יָ֫דָ֥יִם שָֽׁם־ רֶ֭מֶשׂ וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּ֑ר חַיּ֥וֹת קְ֝טַנּ֗וֹת עִם־ גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃

26See the ships sailing along, and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea.

26שָׁ֭ם אֳנִיּ֣וֹת יְהַלֵּכ֑וּן לִ֝וְיָתָ֗ן זֶֽה־ יָצַ֥רְתָּ לְשַֽׂחֶק־ בּֽוֹ׃

27They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.

27כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃

28When you supply it, they gather it. You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied.

28תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֽוֹב׃

29But if you turn away from them, they panic. When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.

29תַּסְתִּ֥יר פָּנֶיךָ֮ יִֽבָּהֵ֫ל֥וּן תֹּסֵ֣ף ר֭וּחָם יִגְוָע֑וּן וְֽאֶל־ עֲפָרָ֥ם יְשׁוּבֽוּן׃

30When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth.

30תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃

31May the glory of the LORD continue forever! The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made!

31יְהִ֤י כְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֣ה לְעוֹלָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

32The earth trembles at his glance; the mountains smoke at his touch.

32הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath!

33אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעוֹדִֽי׃

34May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

34יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃

35Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth; let the wicked disappear forever. Let all that I am praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!

35יִתַּ֤מּוּ חַטָּאִ֨ים ׀ מִן־ הָאָ֡רֶץ וּרְשָׁעִ֤ים ׀ ע֤וֹד אֵינָ֗ם בָּרֲכִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי אֶת־ יְהוָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־ יָֽהּ׃
