2אֱלֹהִים בְּאׇזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָנוּ פֹּעַל פָּעַלְתָּ בִימֵיהֶם בִּימֵי קֶֽדֶםWe have heard, O God, our ancestors have told us the deeds You performed in their time, in days of old.Elohim beozneynu shamanu avoteynu sipru-lanu poal paalta vimeyhem bimey kedem
3אַתָּה יָדְךָ גּוֹיִם הוֹרַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵם תָּרַע לְאֻמִּים וַֽתְּשַׁלְּחֵֽםWith Your hand You planted them, displacing nations; You brought misfortune on peoples, and drove them out.Atah yadcha goyim horashta vatitaem tara leumim vatshalchem
4כִּי לֹא בְחַרְבָּם יָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם לֹא־הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּמוֹ כִּֽי־יְמִינְךָ וּזְרוֹעֲךָ וְאוֹר פָּנֶיךָ כִּי רְצִיתָֽםIt was not by their sword that they took the land, their arm did not give them victory, but Your right hand, Your arm, and Your goodwill, for You favored them.Ki lo vecharbam yarshu aretz uzroam lo-hoshiah lamo ki-yemincha uzroacha veor paneycha ki retzitam
5אַתָּה־הוּא מַלְכִּי אֱלֹהִים צַוֵּה יְשׁוּעוֹת יַעֲקֹֽבYou are my king, O God; decree victories for Jacob!Atah-hu malki elohim tzaveh yeshuot yaakov
6בְּךָ צָרֵינוּ נְנַגֵּחַ בְּשִׁמְךָ נָבוּס קָמֵֽינוּThrough You we gore our foes; by Your name we trample our adversaries;Becha tzareynu nenagecha beshimcha navus kameynu
7כִּי לֹא בְקַשְׁתִּי אֶבְטָח וְחַרְבִּי לֹא תוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִיI do not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that gives me victory;Ki lo vekashti evtach vecharbi lo toshieni
8כִּי הוֹשַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ הֱבִישֽׁוֹתָYou give us victory over our foes; You thwart those who hate us.Ki hoshatanu mitzareynu umsaneynu hevishota
9בֵּאלֹהִים הִלַּלְנוּ כׇל־הַיּוֹם וְשִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם נוֹדֶה סֶֽלָהIn God we glory at all times, and praise Your name unceasingly. Selah.Belohim hilalnu chol-hayom veshimcha leolam nodeh selah
10אַף־זָנַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵנוּ וְלֹא־תֵצֵא בְּצִבְאוֹתֵֽינוּYet You have rejected and disgraced us; You do not go with our armies.Af-zanachta vatachlimenu velo-tetze betzivoteynu
11תְּשִׁיבֵנוּ אָחוֹר מִנִּי־צָר וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ שָׁסוּ לָֽמוֹYou make us retreat before our foe; our enemies plunder us at will.Teshivenu achor mini-tzar umsaneynu shasu lamo

13תִּמְכֹּֽר־עַמְּךָ בְלֹא־הוֹן וְלֹֽא־רִבִּיתָ בִּמְחִירֵיהֶֽםYou sell Your people for no fortune, You set no high price on them.Timkor-amcha velo-hon velo-ribita bimchireyhem
14תְּשִׂימֵנוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּYou make us the butt of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.Tesimenu cherpah lishcheneynu laag vakeles lisvivoteynu
15תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָשָׁל בַּגּוֹיִם מְנֽוֹד־רֹאשׁ בַּלְאֻמִּֽיםYou make us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.Tesimenu mashal bagoyim menod-rosh balumim
16כׇּל־הַיּוֹם כְּלִמָּתִי נֶגְדִּי וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנַי כִּסָּֽתְנִיI am always aware of my disgrace; I am wholly covered with shameKol-hayom kelimati negdi uvoshet panay kisatni
17מִקּוֹל מְחָרֵף וּמְגַדֵּף מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽםat the sound of taunting revilers, in the presence of the vengeful foe.Mikol mecharef umgadef mipney oyev umitnakem
18כׇּל־זֹאת בָּאַתְנוּ וְלֹא שְׁכַחֲנוּךָ וְלֹֽא־שִׁקַּרְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶֽךָAll this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten You, or been false to Your covenant.Kol-zot baatnu velo shechachanucha velo-shikarnu bivritecha
19לֹא־נָסוֹג אָחוֹר לִבֵּנוּ וַתֵּט אֲשֻׁרֵינוּ מִנִּי אׇרְחֶֽךָOur hearts have not gone astray, nor have our feet swerved from Your path,Lo-nasog achor libenu vatet ashureynu mini orchecha
20כִּי דִכִּיתָנוּ בִּמְקוֹם תַּנִּים וַתְּכַס עָלֵינוּ בְצַלְמָֽוֶתthough You cast us, crushed, to where the sea monster is, and covered us over with deepest darkness.Ki dikitanu bimkom tanim vatchas aleynu vetzalmavet
21אִם־שָׁכַחְנוּ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַנִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפֵּינוּ לְאֵל זָֽרIf we forgot the name of our God and spread forth our hands to a foreign god,Im-shachachnu shem eloheynu vanifros kapeynu leel zar
22הֲלֹא אֱלֹהִים יַחֲקׇר־זֹאת כִּי־הוּא יֹדֵעַ תַּעֲלֻמוֹת לֵֽבGod would surely search it out, as the One who knows the secrets of the heart.Halo elohim yachakor-zot ki-hu yodea taalumot lev
23כִּֽי־עָלֶיךָ הֹרַגְנוּ כׇל־הַיּוֹם נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כְּצֹאן טִבְחָֽהIt is for Your sake that we are slain all day long, that we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.Ki-aleycha horagnu chol-hayom nechshavnu ketzon tivchah
24עוּרָה לָמָּה תִישַׁן אֲדֹנָי הָקִיצָה אַל־תִּזְנַח לָנֶֽצַחRouse Yourself; why do You sleep, O my Sovereign? Awaken, do not reject us forever!Urah lamah tishan adonay hakitzah al-tiznach lanetzach
