| א-ב שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד. נָכוֹן לִבִּי אֱלֹהִים; אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה, אַף-כְּבוֹדִי. |
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. 2 My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory. |
| ג עוּרָה, הַנֵּבֶל וְכִנּוֹר; אָעִירָה שָּׁחַר. |
3 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn. |
| ד אוֹדְךָ בָעַמִּים יְהוָה; וַאֲזַמֶּרְךָ, בַּלְאֻמִּים. |
4 I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations. |
| ה כִּי-גָדוֹל מֵעַל-שָׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ; וְעַד-שְׁחָקִים אֲמִתֶּךָ. |
5 For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies. |
| ו רוּמָה עַל-שָׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים; וְעַל כָּל-הָאָרֶץ כְּבוֹדֶךָ. |
6 Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth. |
| ז לְמַעַן, יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ; הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ וַעֲנֵנִי. |
7 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me. |
| ח אֱלֹהִים, דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ–אֶעְלֹזָה: אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם; וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּד. |
8 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
| ט לִי גִלְעָד, לִי מְנַשֶּׁה, וְאֶפְרַיִם, מָעוֹז רֹאשִׁי; יְהוּדָה, מְחֹקְקִי. |
9 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. |
| י מוֹאָב, סִיר רַחְצִי–עַל-אֱדוֹם, אַשְׁלִיךְ נַעֲלִי; עֲלֵי-פְלֶשֶׁת, אֶתְרוֹעָע. |
10 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud. |
| יא מִי יֹבִלֵנִי, עִיר מִבְצָר; מִי נָחַנִי עַד-אֱדוֹם. |
11 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom? |
| יב הֲלֹא-אֱלֹהִים זְנַחְתָּנוּ; וְלֹא-תֵצֵא אֱלֹהִים, בְּצִבְאֹתֵינוּ. |
12 Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts? |
| יג הָבָה-לָּנוּ עֶזְרָת מִצָּר; וְשָׁוְא, תְּשׁוּעַת אָדָם. |
13 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man. |
| יד בֵּאלֹהִים נַעֲשֶׂה-חָיִל; וְהוּא, יָבוּס צָרֵינוּ. |
14 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries. {P} |
