1מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אַךְ טוֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֱלֹהִים לְבָרֵי לֵבָֽבA psalm of Asaph. God is truly good to Israel, to those whose heart is pure.Mizmor leasaf ach tov leyisrael elohim levarey levav

2וַאֲנִי כִּמְעַט (נטוי) [נָטָיוּ] רַגְלָי כְּאַיִן (שפכה) [שֻׁפְּכוּ] אֲשֻׁרָֽיAs for me, my feet had almost strayed, my steps were nearly led off course,Vaani kimat (ntvy) [natayu] raglay keayin (shfch) [shupchu] ashuray

3כִּֽי־קִנֵּאתִי בַּהוֹלְלִים שְׁלוֹם רְשָׁעִים אֶרְאֶֽהfor I envied the wanton; I saw the wicked at ease.Ki-kineti bahollim shelom reshaim ereh

4כִּי אֵין חַרְצֻבּוֹת לְמוֹתָם וּבָרִיא אוּלָֽםDeath has no pangs for them; their body is healthy.Ki eyn chartzubot lemotam uvari ulam

5בַּעֲמַל אֱנוֹשׁ אֵינֵמוֹ וְעִם־אָדָם לֹא יְנֻגָּֽעוּThey have no part in human travail; they are not afflicted like the rest of humankind.Baamal enosh eynemo veim-adam lo yenugau

6לָכֵן עֲנָקַתְמוֹ גַאֲוָה יַעֲטָף־שִׁית חָמָס לָֽמוֹSo pride adorns their necks, lawlessness enwraps them as a mantle.Lachen anakatmo gaavah yaataf-shit chamas lamo

7יָצָא מֵחֵלֶב עֵינֵמוֹ עָבְרוּ מַשְׂכִּיּוֹת לֵבָֽבFat shuts out their eyes; their fancies are extravagant.Yatza mechelev eynemo avru maskiot levav

8יָמִיקוּ וִידַבְּרוּ בְרָע עֹשֶׁק מִמָּרוֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּThey scoff and plan evil; from their eminence they plan wrongdoing.Yamiku vidabru vera oshek mimarom yedaberu

9שַׁתּוּ בַשָּׁמַיִם פִּיהֶם וּלְשׁוֹנָם תִּהֲלַךְ בָּאָֽרֶץThey set their mouths against heaven, and their tongues range over the earth.Shatu vashamayim pihem ulshonam tihalach baaretz

10לָכֵן (ישיב) [יָשׁוּב] עַמּוֹ הֲלֹם וּמֵי מָלֵא יִמָּצוּ לָֽמוֹSo they pound this people again and again, until they are drained of their very last tear.Lachen (yshyv) [yashuv] amo halom umey male yimatzu lamo

11וְֽאָמְרוּ אֵיכָה יָדַֽע־אֵל וְיֵשׁ דֵּעָה בְעֶלְיֽוֹןThen they say, “How could God know? Is there knowledge with the Most High?”Veamru eychah yada-el veyesh deah veelyon

12הִנֵּה־אֵלֶּה רְשָׁעִים וְשַׁלְוֵי עוֹלָם הִשְׂגּוּ־חָֽיִלSuch are the wicked; ever tranquil, they amass wealth.Hineh-eleh reshaim veshalvey olam hisgu-chayil

13אַךְ־רִיק זִכִּיתִי לְבָבִי וָאֶרְחַץ בְּנִקָּיוֹן כַּפָּֽיIt was for nothing that I kept my heart pure and washed my hands in innocence,Ach-rik zikiti levavi vaerchatz benikayon kapay

14וָאֱהִי נָגוּעַ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם וְתוֹכַחְתִּי לַבְּקָרִֽיםseeing that I have been constantly afflicted, that each morning brings new punishments.Vaehi nagua kol-hayom vetochachti labkarim

15אִם־אָמַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כְמוֹ הִנֵּה דוֹר בָּנֶיךָ בָגָֽדְתִּיHad I decided to say these things, I should have been false to the circle of Your disciples.Im-amarti asaprah chemo hineh dor baneycha vagadti

16וָאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל (היא) [הוּא] בְעֵינָֽיSo I applied myself to understand this, but it seemed a hopeless taskVaachashvah ladaat zot amal (hy) [hu] veeynay

17עַד־אָבוֹא אֶל־מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל אָבִינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽםtill I entered God’s sanctuary and reflected on their fate.Ad-avo el-mikdshey-el avinah leacharitam

18אַךְ בַּחֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁית לָמוֹ הִפַּלְתָּם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹתYou surround them with flattery; You make them fall through blandishments.Ach bachalakot tashit lamo hipaltam lemashuot

19אֵיךְ הָיוּ לְשַׁמָּה כְרָגַע סָפוּ תַמּוּ מִן־בַּלָּהֽוֹתHow suddenly are they ruined, wholly swept away by terrors.Eych hayu leshamah cheraga safu tamu min-balahot

20כַּחֲלוֹם מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶֽהWhen You are aroused You despise their image, as one does a dream after waking, O my Sovereign.Kachalom mehakitz adonay bair tzalmam tivzeh

21כִּי יִתְחַמֵּץ לְבָבִי וְכִלְיוֹתַי אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽןMy mind was stripped of its reason, my feelings were numbed.Ki yitchametz levavi vechilyotay eshtonan

22וַאֲנִי־בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמוֹת הָיִיתִי עִמָּֽךְI was a dolt, without knowledge; I was brutish toward You.Vaani-vaar velo eda behemot hayiti imach

23וַאֲנִי תָמִיד עִמָּךְ אָחַזְתָּ בְּיַד־יְמִינִֽיYet I was always with You, You held my right hand;Vaani tamid imach achazta beyad-yemini

24בַּעֲצָתְךָ תַנְחֵנִי וְאַחַר כָּבוֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִיYou guided me by Your counsel and led me toward honor.Baatzatcha tancheni veachar kavod tikacheni

25מִי־לִי בַשָּׁמָיִם וְעִמְּךָ לֹא־חָפַצְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץWhom else have I in heaven? And having You, I want no one on earth.Mi-li vashamayim veimcha lo-chafatzti vaaretz

26כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר־לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽםMy body and mind fail; but God is the stay of my mind, my portion forever.Kalah sheeri ulvavi tzur-levavi vechelki elohim leolam

27כִּֽי־הִנֵּה רְחֵקֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ הִצְמַתָּה כׇּל־זוֹנֶה מִמֶּֽךָּThose who keep far from You perish; You annihilate all who are untrue to You.Ki-hineh rechekeycha yovedu hitzmatah kol-zoneh mimecha

28וַאֲנִי קִרְבַת אֱלֹהִים לִי־טוֹב שַׁתִּי בַּאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה מַחְסִי לְסַפֵּר כׇּל־מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָAs for me, nearness to God is good; I have made the Sovereign GOD my refuge, that I may recount all Your works.Vaani kirvat elohim li-tov shati badonay yehovi machsi lesaper kol-malachoteycha

1מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָף לָמָה אֱלֹהִים זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָA maskil of Asaph. Why, O God, do You forever reject us, do You fume in anger at the flock that You tend?Maskil leasaf lamah elohim zanachta lanetzach yeshan apcha betzon maritecha
