Chapter 28
1לְדָוִד אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא צוּרִי אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ מִמֶּנִּי פֶּן־תֶּחֱשֶׁה מִמֶּנִּי וְנִמְשַׁלְתִּי עִם־יוֹרְדֵי בֽוֹרOf David. O ETERNAL One, I call to You; my rock, do not disregard me, for if You hold aloof from me, I shall be like those gone down into the Pit.Ledavid eleycha Adonai ekra tzuri al-techerash mimeni pen-techesheh mimeni venimshalti im-yordey vor
2שְׁמַע קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶיךָ בְּנׇשְׂאִי יָדַי אֶל־דְּבִיר קׇדְשֶֽׁךָListen to my plea for mercy when I cry out to You, when I lift my hands toward Your inner sanctuary.Shema kol tachanunay beshaui eleycha benosi yaday el-devir kodshecha
3אַל־תִּמְשְׁכֵנִי עִם־רְשָׁעִים וְעִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּבְרֵי שָׁלוֹם עִם־רֵעֵיהֶם וְרָעָה בִּלְבָבָֽםDo not count me with the wicked and evildoers who profess goodwill toward their fellows while malice is in their heart.Al-timshcheni im-reshaim veim-poaley aven dovrey shalom im-reeyhem veraah bilvavam
4תֶּן־לָהֶם כְּפׇעֳלָם וּכְרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם כְּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם תֵּן לָהֶם הָשֵׁב גְּמוּלָם לָהֶֽםPay them according to their deeds, their malicious acts; according to their handiwork pay them, give them their deserts.Ten-lahem kefoolam uchroa maalleyhem kemaaseh yedeyhem ten lahem hashev gemulam lahem
5כִּי לֹא יָבִינוּ אֶל־פְּעֻלֹּת יְהֹוָה וְאֶל־מַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו יֶהֶרְסֵם וְלֹא יִבְנֵֽםFor they do not consider GOD’s deeds, the work of divine hands. May [God] tear them down, never to rebuild them!Ki lo yavinu el-peulot Adonai veel-maaseh yadayv yehersem velo yivnem
6בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה כִּי־שָׁמַע קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽיBlessed is GOD, who listens to my plea for mercy.Baruch Adonai ki-shama kol tachanunay
7יְהֹוָה עֻזִּי וּמָגִנִּי בּוֹ בָטַח לִבִּי וְֽנֶעֱזָרְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹז לִבִּי וּֽמִשִּׁירִי אֲהוֹדֶֽנּוּGOD is my strength and my shield, the One in whom my heart trusts. I was helped, and my heart exulted, so I will give glory with my song.Adonai uzi umagini bo vatach libi veneezarti vayaaloz libi umishiri ahodenu
8יְהֹוָה עֹֽז־לָמוֹ וּמָעוֹז יְשׁוּעוֹת מְשִׁיחוֹ הֽוּאGOD is their strength; and a stronghold for the deliverance of our anointed ruler.Adonai oz-lamo umaoz yeshuot meshicho hu
9הוֹשִׁיעָה אֶת־עַמֶּךָ וּבָרֵךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶךָ וּֽרְעֵם וְנַשְּׂאֵם עַד־הָעוֹלָֽםDeliver and bless Your very own people; tend them and sustain them forever.Hoshiah et-amecha uvarech et-nachalatecha urem venasem ad-haolam
