Salmo 104

¹Louva, minha alma, ao SENHOR; ó SENHOR meu Deus, tu és grandioso; de majestade e de glória estás vestido.

²Tu estás coberto de luz, como que uma roupa; estendes os céus como cortinas.

³Ele, que fixou seus cômodos sobre as águas; que faz das nuvens sua carruagem; que se move sobre as asas do vento.

⁴Que faz de seus anjos ventos, e de seus servos fogo flamejante.

⁵Ele fundou a terra sobre suas bases; ela jamais se abalará.

⁶Com o abismo, como um vestido, tu a cobriste; sobre os montes estavam as águas.

⁷Elas fugiram de tua repreensão; pela voz de teu trovão elas se recolheram apressadamente.

⁸Os montes subiram e os vales desceram ao lugar que tu lhes tinha fundado.

⁹Tu lhes puseste um limite, que não ultrapassarão; não voltarão mais a cobrir a terra.

¹⁰Ele envia fontes aos vales, para que corram por entre os montes.

¹¹Elas dão de beber a todos os animais do campo; os asnos selvagens matam a sede com elas.

¹²Junto a elas habitam as aves dos céus, que dão sua voz dentre os ramos.

¹³Ele rega os montes desde seus cômodos; a terra se farta do fruto de tuas obras.

¹⁴Ele faz brotar a erva para os animais, e as plantas para o trabalho do homem, fazendo da terra produzir o pão,

¹⁵E o vinho, que alegra o coração do homem, e faz o rosto brilhar o rosto com o azeite; com o pão, que fortalece o coração do homem.

¹⁶As árvores do SENHOR são fartamente nutridas,os cedros do Líbano, que ele plantou.

¹⁷Onde as aves fazem ninhos, e os pinheiros são as casas para as cegonhas.

¹⁸Os altos montes são para as cabras selvagens; as rochas, refúgio para os coelhos.

¹⁹Ele fez a lua para marcar os tempos, e o sol sobre seu poente.

²⁰Ele dá ordens à escuridão, e faz haver noite, quando saem todos os animais do mato.

²¹Os filhos dos leões, rugindo pela presa, e para buscar de Deus sua comida.

²²Quando o sol volta a brilhar, logo se recolhem, e vão se deitar em suas tocas.

²³Então o homem sai para seu trabalho e sua obra até o entardecer.

²⁴Como são muitas as suas obras, SENHOR! Tu fizeste todas com sabedoria; a terra está cheia de teus bens.

²⁵Este grande e vasto mar, nele há inúmeros seres, animais pequenos e grandes.

²⁶Por ali andam os navios e o Leviatã que formastes, para que te alegrasses nele.

²⁷Todos eles aguardam por ti, que lhes dês seu alimento a seu tempo devido.

²⁸O que tu dás, eles recolhem; tu abres tua mão, e eles se fartam de coisas boas.

²⁹Quando tu escondes teu rosto, eles ficam perturbados; quando tu tiras o fôlego deles, logo eles morrem, e voltam ao seu pó.

³⁰Tu envias o teu fôlego, e logo são criados; e assim tu renovas a face da terra.

³¹A glória do SENHOR será para sempre; alegre-se o SENHOR em suas obras.

³²Quando ele olha para a terra, logo ela treme; quando ele toca nos montes, eles soltam fumaça.

³³Cantarei ao SENHOR em toda a minha vida; tocarei música ao meu Deus enquanto eu existir.

³⁴Meus pensamentos lhe serão agradáveis; eu me alegrarei no SENHOR.

³⁵Os pecadores serão consumidos da terra, e os maus não existirão mais. Bendizei, ó minha alma, ao SENHOR! Aleluia!

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

²Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

³Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

⁴Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

⁵Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

⁶Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

⁷At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

⁸They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹⁰He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

¹¹They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

¹²By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

¹³He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

¹⁴He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

¹⁵And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

¹⁶The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

¹⁷Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

¹⁸The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

²⁰Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

²¹The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

²²The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

²³Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

²⁴O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁵So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

²⁶There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

²⁷These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

²⁸That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

³⁰Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

³¹The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

³²He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

³³I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

³⁴My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

³⁵Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

¹Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino: Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer. Confessionem et decorem induisti,

²amictus lumine sicut vestimento. Extendens cælum sicut pellem,

³qui tegis aquis superiora ejus: qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum; qui ambulas super pennas ventorum:

⁴qui facis angelos tuos spiritus, et ministros tuos ignem urentem.

⁵Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam: non inclinabitur in sæculum sæculi.

⁶Abyssus sicut vestimentum amictus ejus; super montes stabunt aquæ.

⁷Ab increpatione tua fugient; a voce tonitrui tui formidabunt.

⁸Ascendunt montes, et descendunt campi, in locum quem fundasti eis.

⁹Terminum posuisti quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram.

¹⁰Qui emittis fontes in convallibus; inter medium montium pertransibunt aquæ.

¹¹Potabunt omnes bestiæ agri; expectabunt onagri in siti sua.

¹²Super ea volucres cæli habitabunt; de medio petrarum dabunt voces.

¹³Rigans montes de superioribus suis; de fructu operum tuorum satiabitur terra:

¹⁴producens fœnum jumentis, et herbam servituti hominum, ut educas panem de terra,

¹⁵et vinum lætificet cor hominis: ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet.

¹⁶Saturabuntur ligna campi, et cedri Libani quas plantavit:

¹⁷illic passeres nidificabunt: herodii domus dux est eorum.

¹⁸Montes excelsi cervis; petra refugium herinaciis.

¹⁹Fecit lunam in tempora; sol cognovit occasum suum.

²⁰Posuisti tenebras, et facta est nox; in ipsa pertransibunt omnes bestiæ silvæ:

²¹catuli leonum rugientes ut rapiant, et quærant a Deo escam sibi.

²²Ortus est sol, et congregati sunt, et in cubilibus suis collocabuntur.

²³Exibit homo ad opus suum, et ad operationem suam usque ad vesperum.

²⁴Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine! omnia in sapientia fecisti; impleta est terra possessione tua.

²⁵Hoc mare magnum et spatiosum manibus; illic reptilia quorum non est numerus: animalia pusilla cum magnis.

²⁶Illic naves pertransibunt; draco iste quem formasti ad illudendum ei.

²⁷Omnia a te expectant ut des illis escam in tempore.

²⁸Dante te illis, colligent; aperiente te manum tuam, omnia implebuntur bonitate.

²⁹Avertente autem te faciem, turbabuntur; auferes spiritum eorum, et deficient, et in pulverem suum revertentur.

³⁰Emittes spiritum tuum, et creabuntur, et renovabis faciem terræ.

³¹Sit gloria Domini in sæculum; lætabitur Dominus in operibus suis.

³²Qui respicit terram, et facit eam tremere; qui tangit montes, et fumigant.

³³Cantabo Domino in vita mea; psallam Deo meo quamdiu sum.

³⁴Jucundum sit ei eloquium meum; ego vero delectabor in Domino.

³⁵Deficiant peccatores a terra, et iniqui, ita ut non sint. Benedic, anima mea, Domino.

¹Τῷ Δαυείδ. Εὐλόγει, ἡ ψυχή μου, τὸν κύριον· Κύριε, Κύριε, ὁ θεός μου, ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθης σφόδρα. ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ εὐπρέπειαν ἐνεδύσω,

²ἀναβαλλόμενος φῶς ὡς ἱμάτιον, ἐκτείνων τὸν οὐρανὸν ὡσεὶ δέρριν·

³ὁ στεγάζων ἐν ὕδασιν τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ, ὁ τιθεὶς νέφη τὴν ἐπίβασιν αὐτοῦ, ὁ περιπατῶν ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων·

⁴ὁ ποιῶν τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πῦρ φλέγον.

⁵ἐθεμελίωσεν τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσφαλίαν αὐτῆς, οὐ κλιθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.

⁶ἄβυσσος ὡς ἱμάτιον τὸ περιβόλαιον αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων στήσονται ὕδατα·

⁷ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου φεύξονται, ἀπὸ φωνῆς βροντῆς σου δειλιάσουσιν.

⁸ἀναβαίνουσιν ὄρη, καὶ καταβαίνουσιν πεδία εἰς τόπον ὃν ἐθεμελίωσας αὐτοῖς·

⁹ὅριον ἔθου ὃ οὐ παρελεύσονται, οὐδὲ ἀποστρέψουσιν καλύψαι τὴν γῆν.

¹⁰ὁ ἀποστέλλων πηγὰς ἐν φάραγξιν, ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὀρέων διελεύσονται ὕδατα·

¹¹ποτιοῦσιν πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ, προσδέξονται ὄναγροι εἰς δίψαν αὐτῶν.

¹²ἐπ᾽ αὐτὰ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσει, ἐκ μέσου τῶν πετρῶν δώσουσιν φωνήν.

¹³ποτίζων ὄρη ἐκ τῶν ὑπερῴων αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ καρποῦ τῶν ἔργων σου χορτασθήσεται ἡ γῆ.

¹⁴ἐξανατέλλων χόρτον τοῖς κτήνεσιν καὶ χλόην τῇ δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐκ τῆς γῆς·

¹⁵καὶ οἶνος εὐφραίνει καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου, τοῦ ἱλαρῦναι πρόσωπον ἐν ἐλαίῳ, καὶ ἄρτος καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου στηρίζει.

¹⁶χορτασθήσεται τὰ ξύλα τοῦ πεδίου, αἱ κέδροι τοῦ Λιβάνου ἃς ἐφύτευσεν·

¹⁷ἐκεῖ στρουθία ἐννοσσεύσουσιν, τοῦ ἐρωδιοῦ ἡ οἰκία ἡγεῖται αὐτῷ.

¹⁸ὄρη τὰ ὑψηλὰ ταῖς ἐλάφοις, πέτρα καταφυγὴ τοῖς χοιρογρυλλίοις.

¹⁹ἐποίησεν σελήνην εἰς καιρούς, ὁ ἥλιος ἔγνω τὴν δύσιν αὐτοῦ.

²⁰ἔθου σκότος καὶ ἐγένετο νύξ, ἐν αὐτῇ διελεύσονται πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ,

²¹σκύμνοι ὠρυόμενοι ἁρπάσαι καὶ ζητῆσαι παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ βρῶσιν αὐτοῖς.

²²ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἥλιος καὶ συναχθήσονται, καὶ ἐν ταῖς μάνδραις αὐτῶν κοιτασθήσονται·

²³ἐξελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τὸ ἔργον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐργασίαν αὐτοῦ ἕως ἑσπέρας.

²⁴ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε, πάντα ἐν σοφίᾳ ἐποίησας· ἐπληρώθη ἡ γῆ τῆς κτίσεώς σου.

²⁵αὕτη ἡ θάλασσα ἡ μεγάλη καὶ εὐρύχωρος· ἐκεῖ ἑρπετὰ ὧν οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός, ζῶα μικρὰ μετὰ μεγάλων,

²⁶δράκων οὗτος ὃν ἔπλασας ἐμπαίζειν αὐτῷ.

²⁷πάντα πρὸς σὲ προσδοκῶσιν, δοῦναι τὴν τροφὴν αὐτοῖς εὔκαιρον·

²⁸δόντος σου αὐτοῖς συλλέξουσιν, ἀνοίξαντος δέ σου τὴν χεῖρα τὰ σύμπαντα ἐμπλησθήσεται χρηστότητος.

²⁹ἀποστρέψαντος δέ σου τὸ πρόσωπον ταραχθήσονται· ἀντανελεῖς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκλείψουσιν, καὶ εἰς τὸν χοῦν αὐτῶν ἐπιστρέψουσιν.

³⁰ἐξαποστελεῖς τὸ πνεῦμά σου καὶ κτισθήσονται, καὶ ἀνακαινιεῖς τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς.

³¹ἤτω ἡ δόξα Κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, εὐφρανθήσεται Κύριος ἐπὶ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ·

³²ὁ ἐπιβλέπων ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ποιῶν αὐτὴν τρέμειν, ὁ ἁπτόμενος τῶν ὀρέων καὶ καπνίζονται.

³³ᾄσω τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου, ψαλῶ τῷ θεῷ μου ἕως ὑπάρχω·

³⁴ἡδυνθείη αὐτῷ ἡ διαλογή μου, ἐγὼ δὲ εὐφρανθήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ κυρίῳ.

³⁵ἐκλίποισαν ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἄνομοι, ὥστε μὴ ὑπάρχειν αὐτούς· εὐλόγει, ἡ ψυχή μου, τὸν κύριον.
