א רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים, בַּיהוָה; לַיְשָׁרִים, נָאוָה תְהִלָּה. |
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright. |
ב הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה בְּכִנּוֹר; בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר, זַמְּרוּ-לוֹ. |
2 Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings. |
ג שִׁירוּ-לוֹ, שִׁיר חָדָשׁ; הֵיטִיבוּ נַגֵּן, בִּתְרוּעָה. |
3 Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy. |
ד כִּי-יָשָׁר דְּבַר-יְהוָה; וְכָל-מַעֲשֵׂהוּ, בֶּאֱמוּנָה. |
4 For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness. |
ה אֹהֵב, צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט; חֶסֶד יְהוָה, מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ. |
5 He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
ו בִּדְבַר יְהוָה, שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ; וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו, כָּל-צְבָאָם. |
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. |
ז כֹּנֵס כַּנֵּד, מֵי הַיָּם; נֹתֵן בְּאוֹצָרוֹת תְּהוֹמוֹת. |
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses. |
ח יִירְאוּ מֵיְהוָה, כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוּרוּ, כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל. |
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. |
ט כִּי הוּא אָמַר וַיֶּהִי; הוּא-צִוָּה, וַיַּעֲמֹד. |
9 For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood. |
י יְהוָה, הֵפִיר עֲצַת-גּוֹיִם; הֵנִיא, מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּים. |
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. |
יא עֲצַת יְהוָה, לְעוֹלָם תַּעֲמֹד; מַחְשְׁבוֹת לִבּוֹ, לְדֹר וָדֹר. |
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. |
יב אַשְׁרֵי הַגּוֹי, אֲשֶׁר-יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו; הָעָם, בָּחַר לְנַחֲלָה לוֹ. |
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance. |
יג מִשָּׁמַיִם, הִבִּיט יְהוָה; רָאָה, אֶת-כָּל-בְּנֵי הָאָדָם. |
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men; |
יד מִמְּכוֹן-שִׁבְתּוֹ הִשְׁגִּיחַ– אֶל כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ. |
14 From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth; |
טו הַיֹּצֵר יַחַד לִבָּם; הַמֵּבִין, אֶל-כָּל-מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם. |
15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings. |
טז אֵין-הַמֶּלֶךְ, נוֹשָׁע בְּרָב-חָיִל; גִּבּוֹר, לֹא-יִנָּצֵל בְּרָב-כֹּחַ. |
16 A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. |
יז שֶׁקֶר הַסּוּס, לִתְשׁוּעָה; וּבְרֹב חֵילוֹ, לֹא יְמַלֵּט. |
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength. |
יח הִנֵּה עֵין יְהוָה, אֶל-יְרֵאָיו; לַמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּוֹ. |
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy; |
יט לְהַצִּיל מִמָּוֶת נַפְשָׁם; וּלְחַיּוֹתָם, בָּרָעָב. |
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
כ נַפְשֵׁנוּ, חִכְּתָה לַיהוָה; עֶזְרֵנוּ וּמָגִנֵּנוּ הוּא. |
20 Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. |
כא כִּי-בוֹ, יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּנוּ: כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ בָטָחְנוּ. |
21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name. |
כב יְהִי-חַסְדְּךָ יְהוָה עָלֵינוּ: כַּאֲשֶׁר, יִחַלְנוּ לָךְ. |
22 Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee. {P} |
