| א לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל-תַּשְׁחֵת; מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף שִׁיר. |
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. |
| ב הוֹדִינוּ לְּךָ, אֱלֹהִים–הוֹדִינוּ, וְקָרוֹב שְׁמֶךָ; סִפְּרוּ, נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ. |
2 We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works. |
| ג כִּי, אֶקַּח מוֹעֵד; אֲנִי, מֵישָׁרִים אֶשְׁפֹּט. |
3 ‚When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity. |
| ד נְמֹגִים, אֶרֶץ וְכָל-יֹשְׁבֶיהָ; אָנֹכִי תִכַּנְתִּי עַמּוּדֶיהָ סֶּלָה. |
4 When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.‘ Selah |
| ה אָמַרְתִּי לַהוֹלְלִים, אַל-תָּהֹלּוּ; וְלָרְשָׁעִים, אַל-תָּרִימוּ קָרֶן. |
5 I say unto the arrogant: ‚Deal not arrogantly‘; and to the wicked: ‚Lift not up the horn.‘ |
| ו אַל-תָּרִימוּ לַמָּרוֹם קַרְנְכֶם; תְּדַבְּרוּ בְצַוָּאר עָתָק. |
6 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck. |
| ז כִּי לֹא מִמּוֹצָא, וּמִמַּעֲרָב; וְלֹא, מִמִּדְבַּר הָרִים. |
7 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up. |
| ח כִּי-אֱלֹהִים שֹׁפֵט; זֶה יַשְׁפִּיל, וְזֶה יָרִים. |
8 For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another. |
ט כִּי כוֹס בְּיַד-יְהוָה, וְיַיִן חָמַר מָלֵא מֶסֶךְ– וַיַּגֵּר מִזֶּה:
אַךְ-שְׁמָרֶיהָ, יִמְצוּ יִשְׁתּוּ; כֹּל, רִשְׁעֵי-אָרֶץ. |
9 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; {N}
surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them. |
| י וַאֲנִי, אַגִּיד לְעֹלָם; אֲזַמְּרָה, לֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב. |
10 But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. |
| יא וְכָל-קַרְנֵי רְשָׁעִים אֲגַדֵּעַ; תְּרוֹמַמְנָה, קַרְנוֹת צַדִּיק. |
11 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. {P} |
