1Praise the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are magnificent. You are robed in splendor and majesty.

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

2He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain,

2עֹֽטֶה־ א֭וֹר כַּשַּׂלְמָ֑ה נוֹטֶ֥ה שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם כַּיְרִיעָֽה׃

3and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds. He makes the clouds his chariot, and travels along on the wings of the wind.

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

4He makes the winds his messengers, and the flaming fire his attendant.

4עֹשֶׂ֣ה מַלְאָכָ֣יו רוּח֑וֹת מְ֝שָׁרְתָ֗יו אֵ֣שׁ לֹהֵֽט׃

5He established the earth on its foundations; it will never be upended.

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

6The watery deep covered it like a garment; the waters reached above the mountains.

6תְּ֭הוֹם כַּלְּב֣וּשׁ כִּסִּית֑וֹ עַל־ הָ֝רִ֗ים יַֽעַמְדוּ־ מָֽיִם׃

7Your shout made the waters retreat; at the sound of your thunderous voice they hurried off--

7מִן־ גַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְנוּס֑וּן מִן־ ק֥וֹל רַֽ֝עַמְךָ֗ יֵחָפֵזֽוּן׃

8as the mountains rose up, and the valleys went down--to the place you appointed for them.

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

9You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth again.

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

10He turns springs into streams; they flow between the mountains.

10הַֽמְשַׁלֵּ֣חַ מַ֭עְיָנִים בַּנְּחָלִ֑ים בֵּ֥ין הָ֝רִ֗ים יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃

11They provide water for all the animals in the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

11יַ֭שְׁקוּ כָּל־ חַיְת֣וֹ שָׂדָ֑י יִשְׁבְּר֖וּ פְרָאִ֣ים צְמָאָֽם׃

12The birds of the sky live beside them; they chirp among the bushes.

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

13He waters the mountains from the upper rooms of his palace; the earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.

13מַשְׁקֶ֣ה הָ֭רִים מֵעֲלִיּוֹתָ֑יו מִפְּרִ֥י מַ֝עֲשֶׂ֗יךָ תִּשְׂבַּ֥ע הָאָֽרֶץ׃

14He provides grass for the cattle, and crops for people to cultivate, so they can produce food from the ground,

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

15as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people's lives.

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

16The trees of the LORD receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

16יִ֭שְׂבְּעוּ עֲצֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אַֽרְזֵ֥י לְ֝בָנ֗וֹן אֲשֶׁ֣ר נָטָֽע׃

17where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live.

17אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁ֭ם צִפֳּרִ֣ים יְקַנֵּ֑נוּ חֲ֝סִידָ֗ה בְּרוֹשִׁ֥ים בֵּיתָֽהּ׃

18The wild goats live in the high mountains; the rock badgers find safety in the cliffs.

18הָרִ֣ים הַ֭גְּבֹהִים לַיְּעֵלִ֑ים סְ֝לָעִ֗ים מַחְסֶ֥ה לַֽשְׁפַנִּֽים׃

19He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule.

19עָשָׂ֣ה יָ֭רֵחַ לְמוֹעֲדִ֑ים שֶׁ֝֗מֶשׁ יָדַ֥ע מְבוֹאֽוֹ׃

20You make it dark and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.

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

21The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God.

21הַ֭כְּפִירִים שֹׁאֲגִ֣ים לַטָּ֑רֶף וּלְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵאֵ֣ל אָכְלָֽם׃

22When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens.

22תִּזְרַ֣ח הַ֭שֶּׁמֶשׁ יֵאָסֵפ֑וּן וְאֶל־ מְ֝עוֹנֹתָ֗ם יִרְבָּצֽוּן׃

23Men then go out to do their work, and labor away until evening.

23יֵצֵ֣א אָדָ֣ם לְפָעֳל֑וֹ וְֽלַעֲבֹ֖דָת֣וֹ עֲדֵי־ עָֽרֶב׃

24How many living things you have made, O LORD! You have exhibited great skill in making all of them; the earth is full of the living things you have made.

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

25Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large.

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

26The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it.

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

27All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis.

27כֻּ֭לָּם אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְשַׂבֵּר֑וּן לָתֵ֖ת אָכְלָ֣ם בְּעִתּֽוֹ׃

28You give food to them and they receive it; you open your hand and they are filled with food.

28תִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם יִלְקֹט֑וּן תִּפְתַּ֥ח יָֽ֝דְךָ֗ יִשְׂבְּע֥וּן טֽוֹב׃

29When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life's breath, they die and return to dust.

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

30When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground.

30תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח ר֭וּחֲךָ יִבָּרֵא֑וּן וּ֝תְחַדֵּ֗שׁ פְּנֵ֣י אֲדָמָֽה׃

31May the splendor of the LORD endure! May the LORD find pleasure in the living things he has made!

31יְהִ֤י כְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֣ה לְעוֹלָ֑ם יִשְׂמַ֖ח יְהוָ֣ה בְּמַעֲשָֽׂיו׃

32He looks down on the earth and it shakes; he touches the mountains and they start to smolder.

32הַמַּבִּ֣יט לָ֭אָרֶץ וַתִּרְעָ֑ד יִגַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist!

33אָשִׁ֣ירָה לַיהוָ֣ה בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵאלֹהַ֣י בְּעוֹדִֽי׃

34May my thoughts be pleasing to him! I will rejoice in the LORD.

34יֶעֱרַ֣ב עָלָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י אָ֝נֹכִ֗י אֶשְׂמַ֥ח בַּיהוָֽה׃

35May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish! Praise the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!

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