2קַוֺּה קִוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה וַיֵּט אֵלַי וַיִּשְׁמַע שַׁוְעָתִֽיI put my hope in GOD, who inclined toward me, and heeded my cry.Kao kiviti Adonai vayet elay vayishma shavati
3וַיַּעֲלֵנִי מִבּוֹר שָׁאוֹן מִטִּיט הַיָּוֵן וַיָּקֶם עַל־סֶלַע רַגְלַי כּוֹנֵן אֲשֻׁרָֽיI was lifted out of the miry pit, the slimy clay, and my feet were set on a rock, my legs steadied.Vayaaleni mibor shaon mitit hayaven vayakem al-sela raglay konen ashuray
4וַיִּתֵּן בְּפִי שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּה לֵאלֹהֵינוּ יִרְאוּ רַבִּים וְיִירָאוּ וְיִבְטְחוּ בַּיהֹוָֽהA new song was placed into my mouth, a hymn to our God. May many see it and stand in awe, and trust in GOD.Vayiten befi shir chadash tehilah leloheynu yiru rabim veyirau veyivtchu bayhovah
5אַשְֽׁרֵי־הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם יְהֹוָה מִבְטַחוֹ וְֽלֹא־פָנָה אֶל־רְהָבִים וְשָׂטֵי כָזָֽבHappy is the one who trusts in GOD, who turns not to the arrogant or to followers of falsehood.Ashrey-hagever asher-sam Adonai mivtacho velo-fanah el-rehavim vesatey chazav
6רַבּוֹת עָשִׂיתָ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ אֵין עֲרֹךְ אֵלֶיךָ אַגִּידָה וַאֲדַבֵּרָה עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּֽרYou, O my ETERNAL God, have done many things; the wonders You have devised for us cannot be set out before You; I would rehearse the tale of them, but they are more than can be told.Rabot asita atah Adonai elohay nifloteycha umachshvoteycha eleynu eyn aroch eleycha agidah vaadaberah atzmu misaper
7זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה לֹֽא־חָפַצְתָּ אׇזְנַיִם כָּרִיתָ לִּי עוֹלָה וַחֲטָאָה לֹא שָׁאָֽלְתָּYou gave me to understand that You do not desire sacrifice and grain offering; You do not ask for burnt offering and purgation offering.Zevach uminchah lo-chafatzta oznayim karita li olah vachataah lo shaalta
8אָז אָמַרְתִּי הִנֵּה־בָאתִי בִּמְגִלַּת־סֵפֶר כָּתוּב עָלָֽיThen I said, “See, I will bring a scroll recounting what befell me.”Az amarti hineh-vati bimgilat-sefer katuv alay
9לַעֲשׂוֹת־רְצוֹנְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי וְתוֹרָתְךָ בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽיTo do what pleases You, my God, is my desire; Your teaching is in my inmost parts.Laasot-retzoncha elohay chafatzti vetoratcha betoch meay
10בִּשַּׂרְתִּי צֶדֶק בְּקָהָל רָב הִנֵּה שְׂפָתַי לֹא אֶכְלָא יְהֹוָה אַתָּה יָדָֽעְתָּI proclaimed [Your] righteousness in a great congregation; see, I did not withhold my words; O ETERNAL One, You must know it.Bisarti tzedek bekahal rav hineh sefatay lo echla Adonai atah yadata
11צִדְקָתְךָ לֹֽא־כִסִּיתִי בְּתוֹךְ לִבִּי אֱמוּנָתְךָ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ אָמָרְתִּי לֹא־כִחַדְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ לְקָהָל רָֽבI did not keep Your beneficence to myself; I declared Your faithful deliverance; I did not fail to speak of Your steadfast love in a great congregation.Tzidkatcha lo-chisiti betoch libi emunatcha utshuatcha amarti lo-chichadti chasdcha vaamitcha lekahal rav
12אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לֹֽא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרֽוּנִיO ETERNAL One, You will not withhold from me Your compassion; Your steadfast love will protect me always.Atah Adonai lo-tichla rachameycha mimeni chasdcha vaamitcha tamid yitzruni
13כִּי אָפְפֽוּ־עָלַי רָעוֹת עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּר הִשִּׂיגוּנִי עֲוֺנֹתַי וְלֹא־יָכֹלְתִּי לִרְאוֹת עָצְמוּ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי וְלִבִּי עֲזָבָֽנִיFor misfortunes without number envelop me; my iniquities have caught up with me; I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; I am at my wits’ end.Ki affu-alay raot ad-eyn mispar hisiguni aonotay velo-yacholti lirot atzmu misaarot roshi velibi azavani
14רְצֵה יְהֹוָה לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהֹוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁהO favor me, ETERNAL One, and save me; O ETERNAL One, hasten to my aid.Retzeh Adonai lehatzileni Adonai leezrati chushah
15יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ יַחַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי לִסְפּוֹתָהּ יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽיLet those who seek to destroy my life be frustrated and disgraced; let those who wish me harm fall back in shame.Yevoshu veyachpru yachad mevakshey nafshi lispotah yisogu achor veyikalmu chafetzey raati
16יָשֹׁמּוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בׇּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים לִי הֶאָח הֶאָֽחLet those who say “Aha! Aha!” over me be desolate because of their frustration.Yashomu al-ekev boshtam haomrim li heach heach
17יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ בְּךָ כׇּֽל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ יֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל יְהֹוָה אֹהֲבֵי תְּשׁוּעָתֶֽךָBut let all who seek You be glad and rejoice in You; let those who are eager for Your deliverance always say, “Extolled be GOD!”Yasisu veyismchu becha kol-mevaksheycha yomru tamid yigdal Adonai ohavey teshuatecha
18וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֲדֹנָי יַחֲשׇׁב־לִי עֶזְרָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תְּאַחַֽרBut I am poor and needy; may my Sovereign devise [deliverance] for me. You are my help and my rescuer; my God, do not delay.Vaani ani veevyon adonay yachashov-li ezrati umfalti atah elohay al-teachar
