| א בְּךָ-יְהוָה חָסִיתִי; אַל-אֵבוֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָם. |
1 In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed. |
| ב בְּצִדְקָתְךָ, תַּצִּילֵנִי וּתְפַלְּטֵנִי; הַטֵּה-אֵלַי אָזְנְךָ, וְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי. |
2 Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me. |
ג הֱיֵה לִי, לְצוּר מָעוֹן לָבוֹא– תָּמִיד, צִוִּיתָ לְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי:
כִּי-סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אָתָּה. |
3 Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; {N}
for Thou art my rock and my fortress. |
| ד אֱלֹהַי–פַּלְּטֵנִי, מִיַּד רָשָׁע; מִכַּף מְעַוֵּל וְחוֹמֵץ. |
4 O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man. |
| ה כִּי-אַתָּה תִקְוָתִי; אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה, מִבְטַחִי מִנְּעוּרָי. |
5 For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth. |
| ו עָלֶיךָ, נִסְמַכְתִּי מִבֶּטֶן–מִמְּעֵי אִמִּי, אַתָּה גוֹזִי; בְּךָ תְהִלָּתִי תָמִיד. |
6 Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother’s womb; my praise is continually of Thee. |
| ז כְּמוֹפֵת, הָיִיתִי לְרַבִּים; וְאַתָּה, מַחֲסִי-עֹז. |
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but Thou art my strong refuge. |
| ח יִמָּלֵא פִי, תְּהִלָּתֶךָ; כָּל-הַיּוֹם, תִּפְאַרְתֶּךָ. |
8 My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, and with Thy glory all the day. |
| ט אַל-תַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי, לְעֵת זִקְנָה; כִּכְלוֹת כֹּחִי, אַל-תַּעַזְבֵנִי. |
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not. |
| י כִּי-אָמְרוּ אוֹיְבַי לִי; וְשֹׁמְרֵי נַפְשִׁי, נוֹעֲצוּ יַחְדָּו. |
10 For mine enemies speak concerning me, and they that watch for my soul take counsel together, |
| יא לֵאמֹר, אֱלֹהִים עֲזָבוֹ; רִדְפוּ וְתִפְשׂוּהוּ, כִּי-אֵין מַצִּיל. |
11 Saying: ‘God hath forsaken him; pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.’ |
| יב אֱלֹהִים, אַל-תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי; אֱלֹהַי, לְעֶזְרָתִי חישה (חוּשָׁה). |
12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me. |
| יג יֵבֹשׁוּ יִכְלוּ, שֹׂטְנֵי נַפְשִׁי: יַעֲטוּ חֶרְפָּה, וּכְלִמָּה–מְבַקְשֵׁי, רָעָתִי. |
13 Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt. |
| יד וַאֲנִי, תָּמִיד אֲיַחֵל; וְהוֹסַפְתִּי, עַל-כָּל-תְּהִלָּתֶךָ. |
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise Thee yet more and more. |
| טו פִּי, יְסַפֵּר צִדְקָתֶךָ–כָּל-הַיּוֹם תְּשׁוּעָתֶךָ: כִּי לֹא יָדַעְתִּי סְפֹרוֹת. |
15 My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, and of Thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. |
| טז אָבוֹא–בִּגְבֻרוֹת, אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה; אַזְכִּיר צִדְקָתְךָ לְבַדֶּךָ. |
16 I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only. |
| יז אֱלֹהִים, לִמַּדְתַּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי; וְעַד-הֵנָּה, אַגִּיד נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ. |
17 O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works. |
יח וְגַם עַד-זִקְנָה, וְשֵׂיבָה– אֱלֹהִים אַל-תַּעַזְבֵנִי:
עַד-אַגִּיד זְרוֹעֲךָ לְדוֹר; לְכָל-יָבוֹא, גְּבוּרָתֶךָ. |
18 And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; {N}
until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come. |
יט וְצִדְקָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים, עַד-מָרוֹם:
אֲשֶׁר-עָשִׂיתָ גְדֹלוֹת; אֱלֹהִים, מִי כָמוֹךָ. |
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; {N}
Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee? |
כ אֲשֶׁר הראיתנו (הִרְאִיתַנִי), צָרוֹת רַבּוֹת– וְרָעוֹת:
תָּשׁוּב תחינו (תְּחַיֵּנִי); וּמִתְּהֹמוֹת הָאָרֶץ, תָּשׁוּב תַּעֲלֵנִי. |
20 Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, {N}
wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
| כא תֶּרֶב גְּדֻלָּתִי; וְתִסֹּב תְּנַחֲמֵנִי. |
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me. |
כב גַּם-אֲנִי, אוֹדְךָ בִכְלִי-נֶבֶל– אֲמִתְּךָ אֱלֹהָי:
אֲזַמְּרָה לְךָ בְכִנּוֹר– קְדוֹשׁ, יִשְׂרָאֵל. |
22 I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my God; {N}
I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel. |
| כג תְּרַנֵּנָּה שְׂפָתַי, כִּי אֲזַמְּרָה-לָּךְ; וְנַפְשִׁי, אֲשֶׁר פָּדִיתָ. |
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed. |
כד גַּם-לְשׁוֹנִי– כָּל-הַיּוֹם, תֶּהְגֶּה צִדְקָתֶךָ:
כִּי-בֹשׁוּ כִי-חָפְרוּ, מְבַקְשֵׁי רָעָתִי. |
24 My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; {N}
for they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt. {P} |
