2 e l que se cubre de luz como de vestidura, que extiende los cielos como una cortina,

Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

3 q ue establece sus aposentos entre las aguas, el que pone las nubes por su carroza, el que anda sobre las alas del viento,

He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind,

4 e l que hace a los vientos sus mensajeros y a las llamas de fuego sus ministros.

Who makes His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire.

5 É l fundó la tierra sobre sus cimientos; no será jamás removida.

You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever,

6 C on el abismo, como con vestido, la cubriste; sobre los montes estaban las aguas.

At Your rebuke they fled; At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.

They went up over the mountains; They went down into the valleys, To the place which You founded for them.

9 L es pusiste un límite, el cual no traspasarán, ni volverán a cubrir la tierra.

You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.

10 T ú eres el que viertes los manantiales en los arroyos; van entre los montes,

14 É l hace brotar el heno para las bestias y la hierba para el servicio del hombre, para sacar el pan de la tierra,

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth,

15 e l vino que alegra el corazón del hombre, el aceite que hace brillar el rostro y el pan que sustenta la vida del hombre.

And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which strengthens man’s heart.

25 H e allí el grande y ancho mar, en donde se mueven seres innumerables, seres pequeños y grandes.

This great and wide sea, In which are innumerable teeming things, Living things both small and great.

26 A llí lo surcan las naves; allí este Leviatán que hiciste para que jugara en él.

There the ships sail about; There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there.

27 T odos ellos esperan en ti, para que les des la comida a su tiempo.

These all wait for You, That You may give them their food in due season.

28 T ú les das y ellos recogen; abres tu mano y se sacian de bien.

What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good.

29 E scondes tu rostro, se turban; les quitas el hálito, dejan de ser y vuelven al polvo.
