称颂耶和华肇造万物养育群生

104 我的心哪,你要称颂耶和华!耶和华我的神啊,你为至大!你以尊荣威严为衣服,
披上亮光如披外袍;铺张穹苍如铺幔子,
在水中立楼阁的栋梁;用云彩为车辇,借着风的翅膀而行;
以风为使者,以火焰为仆役。
将地立在根基上,使地永不动摇。
你用深水遮盖地面,犹如衣裳,诸水高过山岭。
你的斥责一发,水便奔逃;你的雷声一发,水便奔流。
诸山升上,诸谷沉下[a],归你为它所安定之地。
你定了界限,使水不能过去,不再转回遮盖地面。
10 耶和华使泉源涌在山谷,流在山间,
11 使野地的走兽有水喝,野驴得解其渴。
12 天上的飞鸟在水旁住宿,在树枝上啼叫。
13 他从楼阁中浇灌山岭,因他作为的功效地就丰足。
14 他使草生长给六畜吃,使菜蔬发长供给人用,使人从地里能得食物。
15 又得酒能悦人心,得油能润人面,得粮能养人心。
16 佳美的树木,就是黎巴嫩的香柏树,是耶和华所栽种的,都满了汁浆。
17 雀鸟在其上搭窝,至于鹤,松树是它的房屋。
18 高山为野山羊的住所,岩石为沙番的藏处。
19 你安置月亮为定节令,日头自知沉落。
20 你造黑暗为夜,林中的百兽就都爬出来。
21 少壮狮子吼叫要抓食,向神寻求食物。
22 日头一出,兽便躲避,卧在洞里。
23 人出去做工,劳碌直到晚上。
24 耶和华啊,你所造的何其多!都是你用智慧造成的,遍地满了你的丰富。
25 那里有海,又大又广,其中有无数的动物,大小活物都有。
26 那里有船行走,有你所造的鳄鱼游泳在其中。
27 这都仰望你按时给它食物。
28 你给它们,它们便拾起来;你张手,它们饱得美食。
29 你掩面,它们便惊惶;你收回它们的气,它们就死亡,归于尘土。
30 你发出你的灵,它们便受造;你使地面更换为新。
31 愿耶和华的荣耀存到永远,愿耶和华喜悦自己所造的!
32 他看地,地便震动;他摸山,山就冒烟。
33 我要一生向耶和华唱诗,我还活的时候要向我神歌颂。
34 愿他以我的默念为甘甜,我要因耶和华欢喜。
35 愿罪人从世上消灭,愿恶人归于无有。我的心哪,要称颂耶和华!你们要赞美耶和华![b]

稱頌創造主——上帝

104 我的心啊,要稱頌耶和華。
我的上帝耶和華啊,
你是多麼偉大!
你以尊貴和威嚴為衣,
你身披光華如披外袍,
你鋪展穹蒼如鋪幔子。
你在水中設立自己樓閣的棟樑。
你以雲彩為車駕,乘風飛馳。
風是你的使者,
火焰是你的僕役。
你奠立大地的根基,
使它永不動搖。
你以深水為衣覆蓋大地,
淹沒群山。
你一聲怒叱,眾水便奔逃;
你一聲雷鳴,眾水就奔流,
漫過山巒,流進山谷,
歸到你指定的地方。
你為眾水劃定不可逾越的界線,
以免大地再遭淹沒。

10 耶和華使泉水湧流在谷地,
奔騰在山間,
11 讓野地的動物有水喝,
野驢可以解渴。
12 飛鳥也在溪旁棲息,
在樹梢上歌唱。
13 祂從天上的樓閣降雨在山間,
大地因祂的作為而豐美富饒。
14 祂使綠草如茵,滋養牲畜,
讓人種植作物,
享受大地的出產,
15 有沁人心懷的醇酒、
滋潤容顏的膏油、
增強活力的五穀。
16 耶和華種植了黎巴嫩的香柏樹,
使它們得到充沛的水源,
17 鳥兒在樹上築巢,
鸛鳥在松樹上棲息。
18 高山是野山羊的住處,
峭壁是石獾的藏身之所。
19 你命月亮定節令,
使太陽自知西沉。
20 你造黑暗,定為夜晚,
作林中百獸出沒的時間。
21 壯獅吼叫著覓食,
尋找上帝所賜的食物。
22 太陽升起,
百獸便退回自己的洞窟中休息,
23 人們外出工作,直到黃昏。

24 耶和華啊,你的創造多麼繁多!
你用智慧造了這一切,
大地充滿了你創造的萬物。
25 汪洋浩瀚,
充滿了無數的大小水族,
26 船隻往來於海上,
你造的鯨魚也在水中嬉戲。
27 牠們都倚靠你按時供應食物。
28 牠們從你那裡得到供應,
你伸手賜下美食,
使牠們飽足。
29 你若對牠們棄而不顧,
牠們會驚慌失措。
你一收回牠們的氣息,
牠們便死亡,歸於塵土。
30 你一吹氣便創造了牠們,
你使大地更新。

31 願耶和華的榮耀存到永遠!
願耶和華因自己的創造而歡欣!
32 祂一看大地,大地就震動;
祂一摸群山,群山就冒煙。
33 我要一生一世向耶和華歌唱,
我一息尚存就要讚美上帝。
34 願祂喜悅我的默想,
祂是我喜樂的泉源。
35 願罪人從地上消逝,
願惡人蕩然無存。

我的心啊,要稱頌耶和華!
你們要讚美耶和華!

Louange au Dieu de la création

104 Bénis l’Eternel, mon âme!

Eternel, mon Dieu, tu es infiniment grand,

tu es revêtu de splendeur et de magnificence.

L’Eternel s’enveloppe de lumière comme d’un manteau,

il étend le ciel comme une tente.

Il construit sa demeure au-dessus de l’eau,

il fait des nuages son char,

il s’avance sur les ailes du vent.

*Il fait des vents ses messagers,

des éclairs ses serviteurs.[a]

Il a établi la terre sur ses fondements:

elle ne sera jamais ébranlée.

Tu l’avais couverte de l’océan comme d’un vêtement,

l’eau recouvrait les montagnes;

elle a fui à ta menace,

elle s’est sauvée au son de ton tonnerre.

Des montagnes se sont élevées, des vallées se sont abaissées,

à la place que tu leur avais fixée.

Tu as posé une limite que l’eau ne doit pas franchir,

afin qu’elle ne revienne plus couvrir la terre.

10 Il conduit les sources vers des torrents

qui parcourent les montagnes.

11 Tous les animaux sauvages y boivent,

les ânes y étanchent leur soif.

12 Les oiseaux du ciel nichent sur leurs rives

et chantent dans les feuillages.

13 Du haut de sa demeure, Dieu arrose les montagnes.

La terre est rassasiée du fruit de ton travail.

14 Il fait pousser l’herbe pour le bétail

et les plantes pour les besoins de l’homme

afin que la terre produise de la nourriture:

15 le vin qui réjouit le cœur de l’homme

et fait plus que l’huile resplendir son visage,

et le pain qui fortifie le cœur de l’homme.

16 Ils sont bien nourris, les arbres de l’Eternel,

les cèdres du Liban, qu’il a plantés.

17 C’est là que les oiseaux font leurs nids.

La cigogne a sa demeure dans les cyprès,

18 les hautes montagnes sont pour les bouquetins,

les rochers sont le refuge des damans.

19 Il a fait la lune pour marquer les temps;

le soleil sait quand il doit se coucher.

20 Tu fais venir les ténèbres, et c’est la nuit.

Tous les animaux des forêts se mettent alors en mouvement;

21 les lionceaux rugissent après leur proie,

ils demandent leur nourriture à Dieu.

22 Le soleil se lève: ils se retirent

et se couchent dans leurs tanières.

23 Quant à l’homme, il sort pour se rendre à son activité

et à son travail jusqu’au soir.

24 Que tes œuvres sont nombreuses, Eternel!

Tu les as toutes faites avec sagesse.

La terre est remplie de tes biens.

25 Voici la mer, immense et vaste: là vivent,

innombrables, des animaux, petits et grands.

26 Les bateaux la sillonnent,

tout comme le léviathan[b], que tu as formé pour qu’il y joue.

27 Tous ces animaux espèrent en toi

pour que tu leur donnes la nourriture au moment voulu.

28 Tu la leur donnes, et ils la prennent;

tu ouvres ta main, et ils sont rassasiés de biens.

29 Tu te caches, et ils sont épouvantés;

tu leur retires le souffle, et ils expirent,

ils retournent à la poussière.

30 Tu envoies ton souffle, et ils sont créés;

tu renouvelles ainsi la surface de la terre.

31 Que la gloire de l’Eternel dure éternellement!

Que l’Eternel se réjouisse de ses œuvres!

32 Il regarde la terre, et elle tremble;

il touche les montagnes, et elles fument.

33 Je veux chanter en l’honneur de l’Eternel tant que je vivrai,

je veux célébrer mon Dieu tant que j’existerai.

34 Que ma louange lui soit agréable!

Je veux me réjouir en l’Eternel.

35 Que les pécheurs disparaissent de la terre

et qu’il n’y ait plus de méchants!

Bénis l’Eternel, mon âme!

Louez l’Eternel!

Psalm 104

Praise the Lord, my soul.(A)

Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendor and majesty.(B)

The Lord wraps(C) himself in light(D) as with a garment;
    he stretches(E) out the heavens(F) like a tent(G)
    and lays the beams(H) of his upper chambers on their waters.(I)
He makes the clouds(J) his chariot(K)
    and rides on the wings of the wind.(L)
He makes winds his messengers,[a](M)
    flames of fire(N) his servants.

He set the earth(O) on its foundations;(P)
    it can never be moved.
You covered it(Q) with the watery depths(R) as with a garment;
    the waters stood(S) above the mountains.
But at your rebuke(T) the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder(U) they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned(V) for them.
You set a boundary(W) they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

10 He makes springs(X) pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water(Y) to all the beasts of the field;
    the wild donkeys(Z) quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky(AA) nest by the waters;
    they sing among the branches.(AB)
13 He waters the mountains(AC) from his upper chambers;(AD)
    the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.(AE)
14 He makes grass grow(AF) for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food(AG) from the earth:
15 wine(AH) that gladdens human hearts,
    oil(AI) to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains(AJ) their hearts.
16 The trees of the Lord(AK) are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon(AL) that he planted.
17 There the birds(AM) make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;(AN)
    the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.(AO)

19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,(AP)
    and the sun(AQ) knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness,(AR) it becomes night,(AS)
    and all the beasts of the forest(AT) prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey(AU)
    and seek their food from God.(AV)
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.(AW)
23 Then people go out to their work,(AX)
    to their labor until evening.(AY)

24 How many are your works,(AZ) Lord!
    In wisdom you made(BA) them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.(BB)
25 There is the sea,(BC) vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number—
    living things both large and small.(BD)
26 There the ships(BE) go to and fro,
    and Leviathan,(BF) which you formed to frolic(BG) there.(BH)

27 All creatures look to you
    to give them their food(BI) at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
    they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
    they are satisfied(BJ) with good things.
29 When you hide your face,(BK)
    they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
    they die and return to the dust.(BL)
30 When you send your Spirit,(BM)
    they are created,
    and you renew the face of the ground.

31 May the glory of the Lord(BN) endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works(BO)
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,(BP)
    who touches the mountains,(BQ) and they smoke.(BR)

33 I will sing(BS) to the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    as I rejoice(BT) in the Lord.
35 But may sinners vanish(BU) from the earth
    and the wicked be no more.(BV)

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Praise the Lord.[b](BW)

  1. Psalm 104:4 Or angels
  2. Psalm 104:35 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; in the Septuagint this line stands at the beginning of Psalm 105.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 He 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

35 Let 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.
