10אֲֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇל־תַּאֲוָתִי וְאַנְחָתִי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִסְתָּֽרָהO my Sovereign, You are aware of all my entreaties; my groaning is not hidden from You.Adonay negdcha chol-taavati veanchati mimcha lo-nistarah

11לִבִּי סְחַרְחַר עֲזָבַנִי כֹחִי וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַי גַּם־הֵם אֵין אִתִּֽיMy mind reels; my strength fails me; my eyes too have lost their luster.Libi secharchar azavani chochi veor-eynay gam-hem eyn iti

12אֹֽהֲבַי וְרֵעַי מִנֶּגֶד נִגְעִי יַעֲמֹדוּ וּקְרוֹבַי מֵרָחֹק עָמָֽדוּMy friends and companions stand back from my affliction; my kin stand far off.Ohavay vereay mineged nigi yaamodu ukrovay merachok amadu

13וַיְנַקְשׁוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי וְדֹרְשֵׁי רָעָתִי דִּבְּרוּ הַוּוֹת וּמִרְמוֹת כׇּל־הַיּוֹם יֶהְגּֽוּThose who seek my life lay traps; those who wish me harm speak malice; they utter deceit all the time.Vaynakshu mevakshey nafshi vedorshey raati dibru hauot umirmot kol-hayom yehgu

14וַאֲנִי כְחֵרֵשׁ לֹא אֶשְׁמָע וּכְאִלֵּם לֹא יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיוBut I am like the deaf, unhearing, like the mute who cannot speak up;Vaani checheresh lo eshma uchilem lo yiftach-piv

15וָאֱהִי כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שֹׁמֵעַ וְאֵין בְּפִיו תּוֹכָחֽוֹתI am like one who does not hear, whose mouth has no retort.Vaehi keish asher lo-shomea veeyn befiv tochachot

16כִּֽי־לְךָ יְהֹוָה הוֹחָלְתִּי אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהָֽיBut I wait for You, O ETERNAL One; You will answer, O my Sovereign, my God.Ki-lecha Adonai hochalti atah taaneh adonay elohay

17כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִי בְּמוֹט רַגְלִי עָלַי הִגְדִּֽילוּFor I fear they will rejoice over me; when my foot gives way they will vaunt themselves against me.Ki-amarti pen-yismchu-li bemot ragli alay higdilu

18כִּֽי־אֲנִי לְצֶלַע נָכוֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽידFor I am on the verge of collapse; my pain is always with me.Ki-ani letzela nachon umachovi negdi tamid

19כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִי אַגִּיד אֶדְאַג מֵחַטָּאתִֽיI acknowledge my iniquity; I am fearful over my sin;Ki-aoni agid edag mechatati

20וְֽאֹיְבַי חַיִּים עָצֵמוּ וְרַבּוּ שֹׂנְאַי שָֽׁקֶרfor my mortal enemies are numerous; my treacherous foes are many.Veoyvay chayim atzemu verabu sonay shaker

21וּמְשַׁלְּמֵי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה יִשְׂטְנוּנִי תַּחַת (רדופי) [רׇֽדְפִי־]טֽוֹבThose who repay evil for good harass me for pursuing good.Umshalmey raah tachat tovah yistnuni tachat (rdvfy) [rodfi-]tov

22אַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנִּיDo not abandon me, O ETERNAL One; my God, be not far from me;Al-taazveni Adonai elohay al-tirchak mimeni

23חוּשָׁה לְעֶזְרָתִי אֲדֹנָי תְּשׁוּעָתִֽיhasten to my aid, O my Sovereign, my deliverance.Chushah leezrati adonay teshuati
