Psalms for 1 of the month

1אַשְֽׁרֵי־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים לֹא עָמָד וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָֽׁבHappy is the one who has not followed the counsel of the wicked, or taken the path of sinners, or joined the company of the insolent;

2כִּי אִם־בְּתוֹרַת יְהֹוָה חֶפְצוֹ וּֽבְתוֹרָתוֹ יֶהְגֶּה יוֹמָם וָלָֽיְלָהrather, this one delights in GOD’s teaching, and studies that teaching day and night.

3וְֽהָיָה כְּעֵץ שָׁתוּל עַֽל־פַּלְגֵי־מָיִם אֲשֶׁר פִּרְיוֹ יִתֵּן בְּעִתּוֹ וְעָלֵהוּ לֹֽא־יִבּוֹל וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂה יַצְלִֽיחַSuch a one is like a tree planted beside streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, whose foliage never fades, and whatever it produces thrives.

4לֹא־כֵן הָרְשָׁעִים כִּי אִם־כַּמֹּץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶנּוּ רֽוּחַNot so the wicked; rather, they are like chaff that wind blows away.

5עַל־כֵּן לֹא־יָקֻמוּ רְשָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּט וְחַטָּאִים בַּעֲדַת צַדִּיקִֽיםTherefore the wicked will not survive judgment, nor will sinners, in the assembly of the righteous.

6כִּֽי־יוֹדֵעַ יְהֹוָה דֶּרֶךְ צַדִּיקִים וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽדFor GOD cherishes the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.

1לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיקWhy do nations assemble, and peoples plot vain things;

2יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהֹוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹkings of the earth take their stand, and regents intrigue together against the one anointed by GOD?

3נְֽנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ“Let us break the cords of their yoke, shake off their ropes from us!”

4יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹThe One who is enthroned in heaven laughs; my Sovereign mocks at them.

5אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹThen [God] speaks to them in anger, terrifying them with divine rage,

6וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיּוֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי“But I have installed My king on Zion, My holy mountain!”

7אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל־חֹק יְֽהֹוָה אָמַר־אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָLet me tell of the decree: GOD said to me, “You are My son, I have fathered you this day.

8שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץAsk it of Me, and I will make the nations your domain; your estate, the limits of the earth.

9תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵֽםYou can smash them with an iron mace, shatter them like potter’s ware.”

10וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָֽרֶץSo now, O kings, be prudent; accept discipline, you rulers of the earth!

11עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽהServe GOD in awe; tremble with fright,

12נַשְּׁקוּ־בַר פֶּן־יֶאֱנַף וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ כִּֽי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי כׇּל־חוֹסֵי בֽוֹpay homage in good faith, lest [God] be angered, and your way be doomed in the mere flash of divine anger. Happy are all who take refuge in [God].

1מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד בְּבׇרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנֽוֹA psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom.

2יְהֹוָה מָה־רַבּוּ צָרָי רַבִּים קָמִים עָלָֽיO ETERNAL One, my foes are so many! Many are those who attack me;

3רַבִּים אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי אֵין יְֽשׁוּעָתָה לּוֹ בֵאלֹהִים סֶֽלָהmany say of me, “There is no deliverance for him through God.” Selah.

4וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי כְּבוֹדִי וּמֵרִים רֹאשִֽׁיBut You, O ETERNAL One, are a shield about me, my glory, who holds my head high.

7לֹֽא־אִירָא מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָֽיI have no fear of the myriad forces arrayed against me on every side.

8קוּמָה יְהֹוָה הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי כִּֽי־הִכִּיתָ אֶת־כׇּל־אֹיְבַי לֶחִי שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּRise, O ETERNAL One! Deliver me, O my God! For You slap all my enemies in the face; You break the teeth of the wicked.

3בְּנֵי אִישׁ עַד־מֶה כְבוֹדִי לִכְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָבוּן רִיק תְּבַקְשׁוּ כָזָב סֶֽלָהYou who side against me, how long will my glory be mocked, will you love illusions, have recourse to frauds? Selah.

4וּדְעוּ כִּֽי־הִפְלָה יְהֹוָה חָסִיד לוֹ יְהֹוָה יִשְׁמַע בְּקׇרְאִי אֵלָֽיוKnow that GOD keeps the faithful close; GOD hears when I call out.

5רִגְזוּ וְֽאַל־תֶּחֱטָאוּ אִמְרוּ בִלְבַבְכֶם עַֽל־מִשְׁכַּבְכֶם וְדֹמּוּ סֶֽלָהSo tremble, and sin no more; ponder it on your bed, and sigh. Selah.

6זִבְחוּ זִבְחֵי־צֶדֶק וּבִטְחוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָֽהOffer sacrifices in righteousness and trust in GOD.

7רַבִּים אֹמְרִים מִֽי־יַרְאֵנוּ טוֹב נְֽסָה־עָלֵינוּ אוֹר פָּנֶיךָ יְהֹוָֽהMany say, “O for good days!” Bestow Your favor on us, O ETERNAL One.

8נָתַתָּה שִׂמְחָה בְלִבִּי מֵעֵת דְּגָנָם וְתִירוֹשָׁם רָֽבּוּYou put joy into my heart when their grain and wine show increase.

9בְּשָׁלוֹם יַחְדָּו אֶשְׁכְּבָה וְאִישָׁן כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לְבָדָד לָבֶטַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽנִיSafe and sound, I lie down and sleep, for You alone, O ETERNAL One, keep me secure.

1לַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִילוֹת מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽדFor the leader; on neḥiloth. A psalm of David.

2אֲמָרַי הַאֲזִינָה יְהֹוָה בִּינָה הֲגִיגִֽיGive ear to my speech, O ETERNAL One; consider my utterance.

3הַקְשִׁיבָה לְקוֹל שַׁוְעִי מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי כִּֽי־אֵלֶיךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽלHeed the sound of my cry, my Sovereign and God, for I pray to You.

4יְֽהֹוָה בֹּקֶר תִּשְׁמַע קוֹלִי בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרׇךְ־לְךָ וַאֲצַפֶּֽהHear my voice, O ETERNAL One, at daybreak; at daybreak I plead before You, and wait.

5כִּי לֹא אֵֽל־חָפֵץ־רֶשַׁע אָתָּה לֹא יְגֻרְךָ רָֽעFor You are not a God who desires wickedness; evil cannot abide with You;

6לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּבוּ הוֹלְלִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינֶיךָ שָׂנֵאתָ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןthe wanton cannot endure in Your sight. You detest all evildoers;

7תְּאַבֵּד דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב אִישׁ־דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה יְתָעֵב יְהֹוָֽהYou doom those who speak lies; deceitful murderers GOD abhors.

8וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קׇדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָBut I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house; I bow down in awe at Your holy temple.

10כִּי אֵין בְּפִיהוּ נְכוֹנָה קִרְבָּם הַוּוֹת קֶֽבֶר־פָּתוּחַ גְּרֹנָם לְשׁוֹנָם יַחֲלִיקֽוּןFor there is no sincerity on their lips; their heart is [filled with] malice; their throat is an open grave; their tongue slippery.

11הַאֲשִׁימֵם אֱֽלֹהִים יִפְּלוּ מִֽמֹּעֲצוֹתֵיהֶם בְּרֹב פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵמוֹ כִּי־מָרוּ בָֽךְCondemn them, O God; let them fall by their own devices; cast them out for their many crimes, for they defy You.

12וְיִשְׂמְחוּ כׇל־חוֹסֵי בָךְ לְעוֹלָם יְרַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵךְ עָלֵימוֹ וְֽיַעְלְצוּ בְךָ אֹהֲבֵי שְׁמֶֽךָBut let all who take refuge in You rejoice, ever jubilant as You shelter them; and let those who love Your name exult in You.

2יְֽהֹוָה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִיO ETERNAL One, do not punish me in anger, do not chastise me in fury.

3חׇנֵּנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי אֻמְלַל־אָנִי רְפָאֵנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי נִבְהֲלוּ עֲצָמָֽיHave mercy on me, O ETERNAL One, for I languish; heal me, O ETERNAL One, for my bones shake with terror.

4וְנַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָה מְאֹד (ואת) [וְאַתָּה] יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתָֽיMy whole being is stricken with terror, while You, ETERNAL One—O, how long!

5שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה חַלְּצָה נַפְשִׁי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּֽךָO ETERNAL One, turn! Rescue me! Deliver me as befits Your faithfulness.

6כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יֽוֹדֶה־לָּֽךְFor there is no praise of You among the dead; in Sheol, who can acclaim You?

7יָגַעְתִּי בְּֽאַנְחָתִי אַשְׂחֶה בְכׇל־לַיְלָה מִטָּתִי בְּדִמְעָתִי עַרְשִׂי אַמְסֶֽהI am weary with groaning; every night I drench my bed, I melt my couch in tears.

8עָשְׁשָׁה מִכַּעַס עֵינִי עָתְקָה בְּכׇל־צוֹרְרָֽיMy eyes are wasted by vexation, worn out because of all my foes.

9סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן כִּֽי־שָׁמַע יְהֹוָה קוֹל בִּכְיִֽיAway from me, all you evildoers, for GOD heeds the sound of my weeping.

10שָׁמַע יְהֹוָה תְּחִנָּתִי יְהֹוָה תְּֽפִלָּתִי יִקָּֽחGOD heeds my plea, GOD accepts my prayer.

11יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ מְאֹד כׇּל־אֹיְבָי יָשֻׁבוּ יֵבֹשׁוּ רָֽגַעAll my enemies will be frustrated and stricken with terror; they will turn back in an instant, frustrated.

1שִׁגָּיוֹן לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁר לַֽיהֹוָה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כוּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽיShiggaion of David, which he sang to GOD, concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.

2יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ חָסִיתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִכׇּל־רֹדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵֽנִיO my ETERNAL God, in You I seek refuge; deliver me from all my pursuers and save me,

3פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּֽילlest, like a lion, they tear me apart, rending in pieces, and no one save me.

4יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בְּכַפָּֽיO my ETERNAL God, if I have done such things, if my hands bear the guilt of wrongdoing,

5אִם־גָּמַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צֽוֹרְרִי רֵיקָֽםif I have dealt evil to my ally— I who rescued my foe without reward—

6יִרַדֹּֽף־אוֹיֵב נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבוֹדִי לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶֽלָהthen let the enemy pursue and overtake me; let my life be trampled to the ground, and my body dwell in the dust. Selah.

7קוּמָה יְהֹוָה בְּאַפֶּךָ הִנָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרוֹת צוֹרְרָי וְעוּרָה אֵלַי מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּֽיתָRise, O ETERNAL One, in Your anger; assert Yourself against the fury of my foes; bestir Yourself in my behalf; You have ordained judgment.

8וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים תְּסֽוֹבְבֶךָּ וְעָלֶיהָ לַמָּרוֹם שֽׁוּבָהLet the assembly of peoples gather about You, with You enthroned above, on high.

9יְהֹוָה יָדִין עַמִּים שׇׁפְטֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָֽיGOD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O ETERNAL One, for the righteousness and blamelessness that are mine.

11מָגִנִּי עַל־אֱלֹהִים מוֹשִׁיעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽבI look to God to shield me; the deliverer of the upright.

12אֱלֹהִים שׁוֹפֵט צַדִּיק וְאֵל זֹעֵם בְּכׇל־יֽוֹםGod vindicates the righteous; God pronounces doom each day.

13אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּב חַרְבּוֹ יִלְטוֹשׁ קַשְׁתּוֹ דָרַךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָIf someone [wicked] does not turn back, but whets his sword, bends his bow and aims it,

14וְלוֹ הֵכִין כְּלֵי־מָוֶת חִצָּיו לְֽדֹלְקִים יִפְעָֽלthen against himself he readies deadly weapons, and makes his arrows sharp.

15הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל־אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָֽׁקֶרSee, he hatches evil, conceives mischief, and gives birth to fraud.

16בּוֹר כָּרָה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָֽלHe has dug a pit and deepened it, and will fall into the trap he made.

17יָשׁוּב עֲמָלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ וְעַל קׇדְקֳדוֹ חֲמָסוֹ יֵרֵֽדHis mischief will recoil upon his own head; his lawlessness will come down upon his skull.

18אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה עֶלְיֽוֹןI will praise GOD for being righteous, and sing a hymn to the name of GOD Most High.
