3הַטֵּה אֵלַי אׇזְנְךָ מְהֵרָה הַצִּילֵנִי הֱיֵה לִי לְֽצוּר־מָעוֹז לְבֵית מְצוּדוֹת לְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִיIncline Your ear to me; be quick to save me; be a rock, a stronghold for me, a citadel, for my deliverance.Hateh elay ozncha meherah hatzileni heyeh li letzur-maoz leveyt metzudot lehoshieni
4כִּֽי־סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אָתָּה וּלְמַעַן שִׁמְךָ תַּֽנְחֵנִי וּֽתְנַהֲלֵֽנִיFor You are my rock and my fortress; You lead me and guide me as befits Your name.Ki-sali umtzudati atah ulmaan shimcha tancheni utnahaleni

10חׇנֵּנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי צַר־לִי עָשְׁשָׁה בְכַעַס עֵינִי נַפְשִׁי וּבִטְנִֽיHave mercy on me, O ETERNAL One, for I am in distress; my eyes are wasted by vexation, my substance and body too.Choneni Adonai ki tzar-li ashshah vechaas eyni nafshi uvitni
11כִּי כָלוּ בְיָגוֹן חַיַּי וּשְׁנוֹתַי בַּאֲנָחָה כָּשַׁל בַּעֲוֺנִי כֹחִי וַעֲצָמַי עָשֵֽׁשׁוּMy life is spent in sorrow, my years in groaning; my strength fails because of my iniquity, my limbs waste away.Ki chalu veyagon chayay ushnotay baanachah kashal baaoni chochi vaatzamay asheshu
12מִכׇּל־צֹרְרַי הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה וְלִשְׁכֵנַי מְאֹד וּפַחַד לִֽמְיֻדָּעָי רֹאַי בַּחוּץ נָדְדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּיBecause of all my foes I am the particular butt of my neighbors, a horror to my friends; those who see me on the street avoid me.Mikol-tzorray hayiti cherpah velishchenay meod ufachad limyudaay roay bachutz naddu mimeni
13נִשְׁכַּחְתִּי כְּמֵת מִלֵּב הָיִיתִי כִּכְלִי אֹבֵֽדI am put out of mind like the dead; I am like an object given up for lost.Nishkachti kemet milev hayiti kichli oved
14כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי דִּבַּת רַבִּים מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב בְּהִוָּסְדָם יַחַד עָלַי לָקַחַת נַפְשִׁי זָמָֽמוּI hear the whisperings of many, intrigue on every side, as they scheme together against me, plotting to take my life.Ki shamati dibat rabim magor misaviv behivasdam yachad alay lakachat nafshi zamamu
15וַאֲנִי עָלֶיךָ בָטַחְתִּי יְהֹוָה אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהַי אָֽתָּהBut I trust in You, O ETERNAL One; I say, “You are my God!”Vaani aleycha vatachti Adonai amarti elohay atah

17הָאִירָה פָנֶיךָ עַל־עַבְדֶּךָ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי בְחַסְדֶּֽךָShow favor to Your servant; as You are faithful, deliver me.Hairah faneycha al-avdecha hoshieni vechasdecha
18יְֽהֹוָה אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה כִּי קְרָאתִיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ רְשָׁעִים יִדְּמוּ לִשְׁאֽוֹלO ETERNAL One, let me not be disappointed when I call You; let the wicked be disappointed; let them be silenced in Sheol;Yehovah al-evoshah ki keraticha yevoshu reshaim yidmu lishol
19תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר הַדֹּבְרוֹת עַל־צַדִּיק עָתָק בְּגַאֲוָה וָבֽוּזlet lying lips be stilled that speak haughtily against the righteous with arrogance and contempt.Tealamnah siftey-shaker hadovrot al-tzadik atak begaavah vavuz
20מָה רַֽב־טוּבְךָ אֲשֶׁר־צָפַנְתָּ לִּירֵאֶיךָ פָּעַלְתָּ לַחֹסִים בָּךְ נֶגֶד בְּנֵי אָדָֽםHow abundant is the good that You have in store for those who fear You, that You do in full view for those who take refuge in You.Mah rav-tuvcha asher-tzafanta lireeycha paalta lachosim bach neged beney adam
21תַּסְתִּירֵם בְּסֵתֶר פָּנֶיךָ מֵרֻכְסֵי־אִישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵם בְּסֻכָּה מֵרִיב לְשֹׁנֽוֹתYou grant them the protection of Your presence against the opposition’s schemes; You shelter them in Your pavilion from contentious tongues.Tastirem beseter paneycha meruchsey-ish titzpnem besukah meriv leshonot
22בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה כִּי הִפְלִיא־חַסְדּוֹ לִי בְּעִיר מָצֽוֹרBlessed is GOD, who has been wondrously faithful to me, a veritable bastion.Baruch Adonai ki hifli-chasdo li beir matzor
23וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחׇפְזִי נִגְרַזְתִּי מִנֶּגֶד עֵינֶיךָ אָכֵן שָׁמַעְתָּ קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶֽיךָAlarmed, I had thought, “I am thrust out of Your sight”; yet You listened to my plea for mercy when I cried out to You.Vaani amarti vechofzi nigrazti mineged eyneycha achen shamata kol tachanunay beshaui eleycha
24אֶהֱבוּ אֶֽת־יְהֹוָה כׇּֽל־חֲסִידָיו אֱמוּנִים נֹצֵר יְהֹוָה וּמְשַׁלֵּם עַל־יֶתֶר עֹשֵׂה גַאֲוָֽהSo love GOD, all you faithful; GOD guards the loyal, and more than requites the one who acts arrogantly.Ehevu et-Adonai kol-chasidayv emunim notzer Adonai umshalem al-yeter oseh gaavah
25חִזְקוּ וְיַאֲמֵץ לְבַבְכֶם כׇּל־הַמְיַחֲלִים לַֽיהֹוָֽהBe strong and of good courage, all you who wait for GOD.Chizku veyaametz levavchem kol-hamyachalim layhovah
