Tahalym (Psalm) — 104

Yadah YAHUAH for His Creation and Providence

1 Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, O my soul! O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH my 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty,

2 And You covered Yourself with light as with a garment, You stretched out the Shamaym like a curtain.

3 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, and makes the clouds His chariot, and walks on the wings of the wind,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 You send rain on the mountains from Shamaym, and you fill the Arath with the fruit of your labor.

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

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

16 The trees of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH are well cared for, the cedars of Labanun that He planted.

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

18 The high hills in the mountains are for the wild goats, and the rocks form a refuge for the hyraxes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

31 May the Kabad of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH  continue forever! For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH takes pleasure in all He has made!

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

33 I will sing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH as long as I live. I will Yadah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH my  𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH to my last breath!

34 May all my thoughts be pleasing to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, for I rejoice in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH my 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH.

35 Let all sinners vanish from the face of the Arath; let the wicked disappear forever, let all that I am Yadah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
