Salmos 104

1 Bless Yahweh, my soul.

Yahweh, my God, you are very great.

You are clothed with honor and majesty.

2 He covers himself with light as with a garment.

He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

3 He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot.

He walks on the wings of the wind.

4 He makes his messengers*104:4 or, angels winds,

and his servants flames of fire.

5 He laid the foundations of the earth,

that it should not be moved forever.

6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.

The waters stood above the mountains.

7 At your rebuke they fled.

At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.

8 The mountains rose,

the valleys sank down,

to the place which you had assigned to them.

9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,

that they don’t turn again to cover the earth.

10 He sends springs into the valleys.

They run among the mountains.

11 They give drink to every animal of the field.

The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by them.

They sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his rooms.

The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock,

and plants for man to cultivate,

that he may produce food out of the earth:

15 wine that makes the heart of man glad,

oil to make his face to shine,

and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

16 Yahweh’s trees are well watered,

the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

17 where the birds make their nests.

The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats.

The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons.

The sun knows when to set.

20 You make darkness, and it is night,

in which all the animals of the forest prowl.

21 The young lions roar after their prey,

and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, and they steal away,

and lie down in their dens.

23 Man goes out to his work,

to his labor until the evening.

24 Yahweh, how many are your works!

In wisdom, you have made them all.

The earth is full of your riches.

25 There is the sea, great and wide,

in which are innumerable living things,

both small and large animals.

26 There the ships go,

and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

27 These all wait for you,

that you may give them their food in due season.

28 You give to them; they gather.

You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

29 You hide your face; they are troubled.

You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust.

30 You send out your Spirit and they are created.

You renew the face of the ground.

31 Let Yahweh’s glory endure forever.

Let Yahweh rejoice in his works.

32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles.

He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live.

I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

34 Let my meditation be sweet to him.

I will rejoice in Yahweh.

35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.

Let the wicked be no more.

Bless Yahweh, my soul.

Praise Yah!

Ko Ihowā te Kaihanga me te Kaiwhāngai

1 Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e tōku wairua.

E Ihowā, e tōku Atua, he nui rawa koe.

He hōnore, he korōria ōu kākahu,

2 e roropi nei i te mārama ki a koe ānō he kākahu.

E hora nei i ngā rangi ānō he kākahu tauārai,

3 e whakanoho nei i ngā kurupae o ōna rūma ki ngā wai,

e mea nei i ngā kapua hei hāriata mōna,

e haere nei i runga i ngā pākau o te hau.

4 E mea nei i ngā hau hei karere māna,

i te mura ahi hei kaimahi māna.

5 Nāna nei i whakatū te whenua ki runga ki ōna tūranga,

kei nekenekehia ake ake.

6 Nāu anō i hīpoki ki te rire hei kākahu;

tū ana ngā wai i runga i ngā maunga.

7 Rere ana rātou i tāu riri;

tahuti tonu atu i te reo o tāu whatitiri.

8 Puke ake ana rā ngā maunga,

heke iho ana mā ngā whāwhārua

ki te wāhi i whakaritea e koe mō rātou.

9 Kua whakatakotoria e koe he rohe kei koni mai rātou,

kei hoki mai hei taupoki mō te whenua.

10 Nāna i tono ngā puna ki roto ki ngā awaawa,

e rere nei i waenga o ngā puke.

11 Hei wai mō ngā kīrehe katoa o te pārae;

nā noa te matewai o ngā kāihe mohoao.

12 Kei reira ngā nohoanga o ngā manu o te rangi,

e korihi nei i roto i ngā manga.

13 He mea whakamākūkū nāna ngā puke i ōna rūma;

ka mākona te whenua i ngā hua o āu mahi.

14 Ko ia hei whakatupu i te tarutaru mā te kararehe,

i te otaota hei mea mā te tangata,

kia whakaputaina ake ai he taro i te whenua,

15 he wāina hei whakahari i te ngākau o te tangata,

he hinu e pīata ai tōna mata,

me te taro hei whakakaha i te ngākau o te tangata.

16 Kī tonu i te wai ngā rākau a Ihowā,

ngā hīta o Repanōna i whakatōkia e ia.

17 Hangā ake e ngā manu he ōhanga ki reira;

te tāka, ko ngā kauri tōna whare.

18 Hei piringa ngā puke tiketike mō ngā koati mohoao;

ngā kōhatu mō ngā rāpeti.

19 I hangā e ia te marama hei tohu tāima;

e mātau ana te rā ki tōna torengitanga.

20 Ko koe hei whakapōuri, ā, kua pō;

nā ngōki mai ana ngā kīrehe katoa o te ngahere.

21 Ko ngā kūao raiona ngengere ana rātou, he mea kai,

he rapu kai mā rātou i te Atua.

22 Ko te putanga mai o te rā ka poto atu rātou,

takoto ana i ō rātou kuhunga.

23 Ko te tangata ka haere ki āna hanga,

ki tāna mahi, ā ahiahi noa.

24 Anō te tini o āu mahi, e Ihowā!

He mōhio rawa tāu mahi i aua mea katoa;

kī tonu te whenua i āu taonga.

25 Kei kō rā ko te moana, tōna nui tuauriuri;

kei reira ngā mea ngōkingōki e kore e taea te tatau,

ngā kīrehe hoki, āna nonohi, āna nunui.

26 Kei reira ngā kaipuke e teretere ana;

kei reira taua rewiatana i hangā e koe hei tākaro ki reira.

27 E tatari katoa ana ēnei ki a koe,

kia hoatu e koe te kai mā rātou i te wā e tika ai;

28 ko tāu e hoatu ai mā rātou, kohikohia ana e rātou;

te wherahanga o tōu ringa, mākona tonu rātou i te pai.

29 Ko te hunanga o tōu mata, pororaru ana rātou;

ka kapohia e koe tō rātou manawa, ka marere rātou,

ā, ka hoki anō ki tō rātou puehu.

30 Ko tāu tononga mai i tōu wairua, kua hangā rātou;

ā, whakahoutia ana e koe te mata o te whenua.

31 Kia whai korōria a Ihowā ake ake,

kia hari a Ihowā ki āna mahi –

32 tāna tirohanga iho ki te whenua, rū ana;

kua pā ki ngā puke, nā, pongere ana.

33 Ka waiata ahau ki a Ihowā i ahau e ora ana;

ka hīmene ki tōku Atua i ahau anō i te ao nei.

34 Kia reka tōku whakaaronga ki a ia,

ka hari ahau ki a Ihowā.

35 Kia mōtī ngā tāngata hara i runga i te whenua,

ko te hunga kino kia poto katoa atu.

Whakapaingia a Ihowā, e tōku wairua!

Whakamoemititia a Ihowā!
