2הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּי בָאוּ מַיִם עַד־נָֽפֶשׁDeliver me, O God, for the waters have reached my neck;Hoshieni elohim ki vau mayim ad-nafesh
3טָבַעְתִּי בִּיוֵן מְצוּלָה וְאֵין מׇעֳמָד בָּאתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַיִם וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִיI am sinking into the slimy deep and find no foothold; I have come into the watery depths; the flood sweeps me away.Tavati biven metzulah veeyn moomad bati vemaamakey-mayim veshibolet shetafatni
4יָגַעְתִּי בְקׇרְאִי נִחַר גְּרוֹנִי כָּלוּ עֵינַי מְיַחֵל לֵאלֹהָֽיI am weary with calling; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for God.Yagati vekori nichar geroni kalu eynay meyachel lelohay
5רַבּוּ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם עָצְמוּ מַצְמִיתַי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־גָזַלְתִּי אָז אָשִֽׁיבMore numerous than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without reason; many are those who would destroy me, my treacherous enemies. Must I restore what I have not stolen?Rabu misaarot roshi sonay chinam atzmu matzmitay oyvay sheker asher lo-gazalti az ashiv
6אֱֽלֹהִים אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּי וְאַשְׁמוֹתַי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִכְחָֽדוּGod, You know my folly; my guilty deeds are not hidden from You.Elohim atah yadata leivalti veashmotay mimcha lo-nichchadu
7אַל־יֵבֹשׁוּ בִי קֹוֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת אַל־יִכָּלְמֽוּ בִי מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽלLet those who look to You, O my Sovereign, GOD of hosts, not be disappointed on my account; let those who seek You, O God of Israel, not be shamed because of me.Al-yevoshu vi koveycha adonay yehovi tzevaot al-yikalmu vi mevaksheycha elohey yisrael
8כִּֽי־עָלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי חֶרְפָּה כִּסְּתָה כְלִמָּה פָנָֽיIt is for Your sake that I have been reviled, that shame covers my face;Ki-aleycha nasati cherpah kistah chelimah fanay
9מוּזָר הָיִיתִי לְאֶחָי וְנׇכְרִי לִבְנֵי אִמִּֽיI am a stranger to my kin, an alien to my own siblings.Muzar hayiti leechay venochri livney imi
10כִּֽי־קִנְאַת בֵּיתְךָ אֲכָלָתְנִי וְחֶרְפּוֹת חוֹרְפֶיךָ נָפְלוּ עָלָֽיMy zeal for Your house has been my undoing; the reproaches of those who revile You have fallen upon me.Ki-kinat beytcha achalatni vecherpot chorfeycha naflu alay
11וָאֶבְכֶּה בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי וַתְּהִי לַחֲרָפוֹת לִֽיWhen I wept and fasted, I was reviled for it.Vaevkeh vatzom nafshi vathi lacharafot li
12וָאֶתְּנָה לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמָשָֽׁלI made sackcloth my garment; I became a byword among them.Vaetnah levushi sak vaehi lahem lemashal
13יָשִׂיחוּ בִי יֹשְׁבֵי שָׁעַר וּנְגִינוֹת שׁוֹתֵי שֵׁכָֽרThose who sit in the gate talk about me; I am the taunt of drunkards.Yasichu vi yoshvey shaar unginot shotey shechar
14וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּֽתִי־לְךָ יְהֹוָה עֵת רָצוֹן אֱלֹהִים בְּרׇב־חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶֽךָAs for me, may my prayer come to You, O ETERNAL One, at a favorable moment; O God, in Your abundant faithfulness, answer me with Your sure deliverance.Vaani tefilati-lecha Adonai et ratzon elohim berov-chasdecha aneni beemet yishecha
15הַצִּילֵנִי מִטִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּעָה אִנָּצְלָה מִשֹּׂנְאַי וּמִמַּעֲמַקֵּי־מָֽיִםRescue me from the mire; let me not sink; let me be rescued from my enemies, and from the watery depths.Hatzileni mitit veal-etbaah inatzlah misonay umimaamakey-mayim
16אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵנִי שִׁבֹּלֶת מַיִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵנִי מְצוּלָה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַי בְּאֵר פִּֽיהָLet the floodwaters not sweep me away; let the deep not swallow me; let the mouth of the Pit not close over me.Al-tishtfeni shibolet mayim veal-tivlaeni metzulah veal-tetar-alay beer pi
17עֲנֵנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ פְּנֵה אֵלָֽיAnswer me, O ETERNAL One, according to Your great steadfastness; in accordance with Your abundant mercy turn to me;Aneni Adonai ki-tov chasdecha kerov rachameycha peneh elay
18וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵעַבְדֶּךָ כִּי־צַר־לִי מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִיdo not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly.Veal-taster paneycha meavdecha ki-tzar-li maher aneni
19קׇרְבָה אֶל־נַפְשִׁי גְאָלָהּ לְמַעַן אֹיְבַי פְּדֵֽנִיCome near to me and redeem me; free me from my enemies.Korvah el-nafshi gealah lemaan oyvay pedeni
20אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִי וּבׇשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇּל־צוֹרְרָֽיYou know my reproach, my shame, my disgrace; You are aware of all my foes.Atah yadata cherpati uvoshti uchlimati negdcha kol-tzorray
21חֶרְפָּה שָׁבְרָה לִבִּי וָאָנוּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּה לָנוּד וָאַיִן וְלַמְנַחֲמִים וְלֹא מָצָֽאתִיReproach breaks my heart, I am in despair; I hope for consolation, but there is none, for comforters, but find none.Cherpah shavrah libi vaanushah vaakaveh lanud vaayin velamnachamim velo matzati
22וַיִּתְּנוּ בְּבָרוּתִי רֹאשׁ וְלִצְמָאִי יַשְׁקוּנִי חֹֽמֶץThey give me gall for food, vinegar to quench my thirst.Vayitnu bevaruti rosh velitzmai yashkuni chometz
23יְהִי־שֻׁלְחָנָם לִפְנֵיהֶם לְפָח וְלִשְׁלוֹמִים לְמוֹקֵֽשׁMay their table be a trap for them, a snare for their allies.Yehi-shulchanam lifneyhem lefach velishlomim lemokesh
24תֶּחְשַׁכְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם מֵרְאוֹת וּמׇתְנֵיהֶם תָּמִיד הַמְעַֽדMay their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see; may their loins collapse continually.Techshachnah eyneyhem merot umotneyhem tamid hamad
25שְׁפׇךְ־עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמֶךָ וַחֲרוֹן אַפְּךָ יַשִּׂיגֵֽםPour out Your wrath on them; may Your blazing anger overtake them;Shefoch-aleyhem zamecha vacharon apcha yasigem
26תְּהִי־טִירָתָם נְשַׁמָּה בְּאׇהֳלֵיהֶם אַל־יְהִי יֹשֵֽׁבmay their encampments be desolate; may their tents stand empty.Tehi-tiratam neshamah beoholeyhem al-yehi yoshev
27כִּי־אַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּיתָ רָדָפוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאוֹב חֲלָלֶיךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּFor they persecute those You have struck; they talk about the pain of those You have felled.Ki-atah asher-hikita radafu veel-machov chalaleycha yesaperu
28תְּֽנָה־עָוֺן עַל־עֲוֺנָם וְאַל־יָבֹאוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָAdd that to their guilt; let them have no share of Your beneficence;Tenah-aon al-aonam veal-yavou betzidkatecha
29יִמָּחֽוּ מִסֵּפֶר חַיִּים וְעִם צַדִּיקִים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּmay they be erased from the book of life, and not be inscribed with the righteous.Yimachu misefer chayim veim tzadikim al-yikatevu
30וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְכוֹאֵב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִיBut I am lowly and in pain; Your help, O God, keeps me safe.Vaani ani vechoev yeshuatcha elohim tesagveni
31אֲהַלְלָה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִים בְּשִׁיר וַאֲגַדְּלֶנּוּ בְתוֹדָֽהI will extol God’s name with song, exultation, and praise.Ahallah shem-elohim beshir vaagadlenu vetodah
