1לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽדFor the leader. A psalm of David.Lamnatzecha mizmor ledavid
2שְׁמַע־אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי בְשִׂיחִי מִפַּחַד אוֹיֵב תִּצֹּר חַיָּֽיHear my voice, O God, when I plead; guard my life from the enemy’s terror.Shema-elohim koli vesichi mipachad oyev titzor chayay
3תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןHide me from a band of evildoers, from a crowd of wrongdoers,Tastireni misod mereim merigshat poaley aven
4אֲשֶׁר שָׁנְנוּ כַחֶרֶב לְשׁוֹנָם דָּרְכוּ חִצָּם דָּבָר מָֽרwho whet their tongues like swords; they aim their arrows—cruel words—Asher shannu chacherev leshonam darchu chitzam davar mar
5לִירֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִים תָּם פִּתְאֹם יֹרֻהוּ וְלֹא יִירָֽאוּto shoot from hiding at someone blameless, shooting suddenly and without fear.Lirot bamistarim tam pitom yoruhu velo yirau
6יְחַזְּקוּ־לָמוֹ דָּבָר רָע יְֽסַפְּרוּ לִטְמוֹן מוֹקְשִׁים אָמְרוּ מִי יִרְאֶה־לָּֽמוֹThey arm themselves with an evil word; when they speak, it is to conceal traps; they think, “Who will see them?”Yechazku-lamo davar ra yesapru litmon mokshim amru mi yireh-lamo
7יַחְפְּֽשׂוּ־עוֹלֹת תַּמְנוּ חֵפֶשׂ מְחֻפָּשׂ וְקֶרֶב אִישׁ וְלֵב עָמֹֽקLet the wrongdoings they have concealed, each one’s inner, secret thoughts, be wholly exposed.Yachpsu-olot tamnu chefes mechupas vekerev ish velev amok
8וַיֹּרֵם אֱלֹהִים חֵץ פִּתְאוֹם הָיוּ מַכּוֹתָֽםGod shall shoot them with arrows; they shall be struck down suddenly.Vayorem elohim chetz pitom hayu makotam
9וַיַּכְשִׁילוּהוּ עָלֵימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָם יִתְנֹדְדוּ כׇּל־רֹאֵה בָֽםTheir tongue shall be their downfall; all who see them shall recoil in horror;Vayachshiluhu aleymo leshonam yitnoddu kol-roeh vam
10וַיִּֽירְאוּ כׇּל־אָדָם וַיַּגִּידוּ פֹּעַל אֱלֹהִים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂהוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּall people shall stand in awe; they shall proclaim the work of God whose deed they perceived.Vayiru kol-adam vayagidu poal elohim umaasehu hiskilu
11יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק בַּיהֹוָה וְחָסָה בוֹ וְיִתְהַלְלוּ כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽבIn GOD shall the righteous rejoice and take refuge; all the upright shall exult.Yismach tzadik bayhovah vechasah vo veyithallu kol-yishrey-lev
