Psalms for Thursday

1תְּפִלָּה לְמֹשֶׁה אִֽישׁ־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲֽדֹנָי מָעוֹן אַתָּה הָיִיתָ לָּנוּ בְּדֹר וָדֹֽרA prayer of Moses, the agent of God. O my Sovereign, You have been our refuge in every generation.

2בְּטֶרֶם הָרִים יֻלָּדוּ וַתְּחוֹלֵֽל אֶרֶץ וְתֵבֵל וּֽמֵעוֹלָם עַד־עוֹלָם אַתָּה אֵֽלBefore the mountains came into being, before You brought forth the earth and the world, from eternity to eternity You are God.

3תָּשֵׁב אֱנוֹשׁ עַד־דַּכָּא וַתֹּאמֶר שׁוּבוּ בְנֵֽי־אָדָֽםYou return humans to dust; You decreed, “Return, you mortals!”

4כִּי אֶלֶף שָׁנִים בְּֽעֵינֶיךָ כְּיוֹם אֶתְמוֹל כִּי יַעֲבֹר וְאַשְׁמוּרָה בַלָּֽיְלָהFor in Your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that has passed, like a watch of the night.

5זְרַמְתָּם שֵׁנָה יִהְיוּ בַּבֹּקֶר כֶּחָצִיר יַחֲלֹֽףYou engulf mortals in sleep; at daybreak they are like grass that renews itself;

6בַּבֹּקֶר יָצִיץ וְחָלָף לָעֶרֶב יְמוֹלֵל וְיָבֵֽשׁat daybreak it flourishes anew; by dusk it withers and dries up.

7כִּי־כָלִינוּ בְאַפֶּךָ וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ נִבְהָֽלְנוּSo we are consumed by Your anger, terror-struck by Your fury.

8שַׁתָּ עֲוֺנֹתֵינוּ לְנֶגְדֶּךָ עֲלֻמֵנוּ לִמְאוֹר פָּנֶֽיךָYou have set our iniquities before You, our hidden sins in the light of Your face.

9כִּי כׇל־יָמֵינוּ פָּנוּ בְעֶבְרָתֶךָ כִּלִּינוּ שָׁנֵינוּ כְמוֹ־הֶֽגֶהAll our days pass away in Your wrath; we spend our years like a sigh.

10יְמֵֽי־שְׁנוֹתֵינוּ בָהֶם שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה וְאִם בִּגְבוּרֹת שְׁמוֹנִים שָׁנָה וְרׇהְבָּם עָמָל וָאָוֶן כִּי־גָז חִישׁ וַנָּעֻֽפָהThe span of our life is seventy years, or, given the strength, eighty years; but the best of them are trouble and sorrow. They pass by speedily, and we are in darkness.

11מִֽי־יוֹדֵעַ עֹז אַפֶּךָ וּכְיִרְאָתְךָ עֶבְרָתֶֽךָWho can know Your furious anger? Your wrath matches the fear of You.

12לִמְנוֹת יָמֵינוּ כֵּן הוֹדַע וְנָבִא לְבַב חׇכְמָֽהTeach us to count our days rightly, that we may obtain a wise heart.

13שׁוּבָה יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתָי וְהִנָּחֵם עַל־עֲבָדֶֽיךָTurn, O ETERNAL One! How long? Show mercy to Your servants.

14שַׂבְּעֵנוּ בַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ וּֽנְרַנְּנָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בְּכׇל־יָמֵֽינוּSatisfy us at daybreak with Your steadfast love that we may sing for joy all our days.

15שַׂמְּחֵנוּ כִּימוֹת עִנִּיתָנוּ שְׁנוֹת רָאִינוּ רָעָֽהGive us joy for as long as You have afflicted us, for the years we have suffered misfortune.

16יֵרָאֶה אֶל־עֲבָדֶיךָ פׇעֳלֶךָ וַהֲדָרְךָ עַל־בְּנֵיהֶֽםLet Your deeds be seen by Your servants, Your glory by their children.

17וִיהִי נֹעַם אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנָה עָלֵינוּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֵינוּ כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּMay the favor of my Sovereign, our God, be upon us; let the work of our hands prosper, O prosper the work of our hands!

1יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן בְּצֵל שַׁדַּי יִתְלוֹנָֽןO you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the protection of Shaddai—

2אֹמַר לַיהֹוָה מַחְסִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אֱלֹהַי אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹI say of GOD, my refuge and stronghold, my God in whom I trust,

3כִּי הוּא יַצִּילְךָ מִפַּח יָקוּשׁ מִדֶּבֶר הַוּֽוֹתthat you will be saved from the fowler’s trap, from the destructive plague.

4בְּאֶבְרָתוֹ יָסֶךְ לָךְ וְתַחַת־כְּנָפָיו תֶּחְסֶה צִנָּה וְסֹחֵרָה אֲמִתּֽוֹWith pinions you will be covered; you will find refuge under God’s wings— whose fidelity is an encircling shield.

5לֹֽא־תִירָא מִפַּחַד לָיְלָה מֵחֵץ יָעוּף יוֹמָֽםYou need not fear the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day,

6מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹפֶל יַהֲלֹךְ מִקֶּטֶב יָשׁוּד צׇהֳרָֽיִםthe plague that stalks in the darkness, or the scourge that ravages at noon.

7יִפֹּל מִצִּדְּךָ אֶלֶף וּרְבָבָה מִימִינֶךָ אֵלֶיךָ לֹא יִגָּֽשׁA thousand may fall at your left side, ten thousand at your right, but it shall not reach you.

8רַק בְּעֵינֶיךָ תַבִּיט וְשִׁלֻּמַת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽהYou will see it with your eyes, you will witness the punishment of the wicked.

9כִּֽי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה מַחְסִי עֶלְיוֹן שַׂמְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָBecause you took GOD—my refuge, the Most High—as your haven,

10לֹא־תְאֻנֶּה אֵלֶיךָ רָעָה וְנֶגַע לֹא־יִקְרַב בְּאׇהֳלֶֽךָno harm will befall you, no disease touch your tent.

11כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ לִשְׁמׇרְךָ בְּכׇל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָFor God’s angels will be ordered to guard you wherever you go.

12עַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶֽךָThey will carry you in their hands lest you hurt your foot on a stone.

13עַל־שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ תִּרְמֹס כְּפִיר וְתַנִּֽיןYou will tread on cubs and vipers; you will trample lions and asps.

14כִּי בִי חָשַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵהוּ אֲשַׂגְּבֵהוּ כִּֽי־יָדַע שְׁמִֽי“Because such people are devoted to Me, I will deliver them; I will keep them safe, for they know My name.

15יִקְרָאֵנִי וְֽאֶעֱנֵהוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָנֹכִי בְצָרָה אֲחַלְּצֵהוּ וַאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּWhen they call on Me, I will answer them; I will be with them in distress; I will rescue them and make them honored;

16אֹרֶךְ יָמִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵהוּ וְאַרְאֵהוּ בִּישׁוּעָתִֽיI will let them live to a ripe old age, and show them My salvation.”

1מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר לְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּֽתA psalm. A song; for the sabbath day.

2טוֹב לְהֹדוֹת לַיהֹוָה וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֽוֹןIt is good to praise GOD, to sing hymns to Your name, O Most High,

3לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ בַּלֵּילֽוֹתTo proclaim Your steadfast love at daybreak, Your faithfulness each night

4עֲֽלֵי־עָשׂוֹר וַעֲלֵי־נָבֶל עֲלֵי הִגָּיוֹן בְּכִנּֽוֹרWith a ten-stringed harp, with voice and lyre together.

5כִּי שִׂמַּחְתַּנִי יְהֹוָה בְּפׇעֳלֶךָ בְּֽמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּֽןYou have gladdened me by Your deeds, O ETERNAL One; I shout for joy at Your handiwork.

6מַה־גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יְהֹוָה מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶֽיךָHow great are Your works, O ETERNAL One, how very subtle Your designs!

7אִֽישׁ־בַּעַר לֹא יֵדָע וּכְסִיל לֹא־יָבִין אֶת־זֹֽאתA brute cannot know, a fool cannot understand this:

8בִּפְרֹחַ רְשָׁעִים כְּמוֹ־עֵשֶׂב וַיָּצִיצוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן לְהִשָּׁמְדָם עֲדֵי־עַֽדthough the wicked sprout like grass, though all evildoers blossom, it is only that they may be destroyed forever.

9וְאַתָּה מָרוֹם לְעֹלָם יְהֹוָֽהBut You are exalted, O ETERNAL One, for all time.

10כִּי הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יְֽהֹוָה כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ יִתְפָּרְדוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןSurely, Your enemies, O ETERNAL One, surely, Your enemies perish; all evildoers are scattered.

11וַתָּרֶם כִּרְאֵים קַרְנִי בַּלֹּתִי בְּשֶׁמֶן רַעֲנָֽןYou raise my horn high like that of a wild ox; I am soaked in freshening oil.

12וַתַּבֵּט עֵינִי בְּשׁוּרָי בַּקָּמִים עָלַי מְרֵעִים תִּשְׁמַעְנָה אׇזְנָֽיI shall see the defeat of my watchful foes, hear of the downfall of the wicked who beset me.

13צַדִּיק כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּֽהThe righteous bloom like a date-palm; they thrive like a cedar in Lebanon;

14שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית יְהֹוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת אֱלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִֽיחוּplanted in the house of GOD, they flourish in the courts of our God.

15עוֹד יְנוּבוּן בְּשֵׂיבָה דְּשֵׁנִים וְֽרַעֲנַנִּים יִהְיֽוּIn old age they still produce fruit; they are full of sap and freshness—

16לְהַגִּיד כִּֽי־יָשָׁר יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְֽלֹא־[עַוְלָתָה] (עלתה) בּֽוֹattesting that GOD is upright, my rock, in whom there is no wrong.

1יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ לָבֵשׁ יְהֹוָה עֹז הִתְאַזָּר אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּֽוֹטGOD is sovereign, and robed in grandeur; GOD is robed, and girded with strength. The world stands firm; it cannot be shaken.

2נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז מֵעוֹלָם אָֽתָּהYour throne stands firm from of old; from eternity You have existed.

3נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת יְֽהֹוָה נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דׇּכְיָֽםThe ocean sounds, O ETERNAL One, the ocean sounds its thunder, the ocean sounds its pounding.

4מִקֹּלוֹת מַיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים מִשְׁבְּרֵי־יָם אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְהֹוָֽהAbove the thunder of the mighty waters, more majestic than the breakers of the sea is GOD, majestic on high.

5עֵֽדֹתֶיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד לְבֵיתְךָ נַאֲוָה־קֹדֶשׁ יְהֹוָה לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִֽיםYour decrees are indeed enduring; holiness befits Your house, O ETERNAL One, for all times.

1אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַGod of retribution, ETERNAL One, God of retribution, appear!

2הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִֽיםRise up, judge of the earth, give the arrogant their deserts!

3עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יְהֹוָה עַד־מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֹֽזוּHow long shall the wicked, O ETERNAL One, how long shall the wicked exult,

4יַבִּיעוּ יְדַבְּרוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּרוּ כׇּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןshall they utter insolent speech, shall all evildoers vaunt themselves?

5עַמְּךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּאוּ וְֽנַחֲלָתְךָ יְעַנּֽוּThey crush Your people, O ETERNAL One, they afflict Your very own;

6אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּthey kill the widow and the stranger; they murder the fatherless,

7וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה־יָּהּ וְלֹא־יָבִין אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹֽבthinking, “Yah does not see it, the God of Jacob does not pay heed.”

8בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּTake heed, you most brutish people; fools, when will you get wisdom?

9הֲנֹטַֽע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִֽם־יֹצֵֽר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּֽיטShall the One who implants the ear not hear, the One who forms the eye not see?

10הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַתShall the One who disciplines nations not punish, the One who instructs humankind in knowledge?

11יְֽהֹוָה יֹדֵעַ מַחְשְׁבוֹת אָדָם כִּי־הֵמָּה הָֽבֶלGOD knows human designs to be futile.

12אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּֽמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶֽנּוּHappy are those whom You discipline, O Yah, whom You instruct in Your teaching,

13לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַתwhom You give tranquility in times of misfortune, until a pit be dug for the wicked.

14כִּי לֹא־יִטֹּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֹא יַעֲזֹֽבFor GOD will not forsake this people; God’s very own will not be abandoned.

15כִּֽי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כׇּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽבJudgment shall again accord with justice and all the upright shall rally to it.

16מִֽי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןWho will take my part against evildoers? Who will stand up for me against wrongdoers?

17לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִֽׁיWere not GOD my help, I should soon dwell in silence.

18אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִיWhen I think my foot has given way, Your faithfulness, O ETERNAL One, supports me.

19בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְֽשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִֽׁיWhen I am filled with cares, Your assurance soothes my soul.

20הַֽיְחׇבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹֽקShall the seat of injustice be Your partner, that frames mischief by statute?

21יָגוֹדּוּ עַל־נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּThey band together to do away with the righteous; they condemn the innocent to death.

22וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֹהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִֽיBut GOD is my haven; my God is my sheltering rock.

23וַיָּשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־אוֹנָם וּבְרָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּTheir evil will be made to recoil upon them, through their own wickedness they will be annihilated; the ETERNAL our God will annihilate them.

1לְכוּ נְרַנְּנָה לַיהֹוָה נָרִיעָה לְצוּר יִשְׁעֵֽנוּCome, let us sing joyously to GOD, raise a shout for our rock and deliverer;

2נְקַדְּמָה פָנָיו בְּתוֹדָה בִּזְמִרוֹת נָרִיעַֽ לֽוֹlet us come into the divine presence with praise; let us shout out in song!

3כִּי אֵל גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל עַל־כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽיםFor the ETERNAL is a great God, the great ruler of all divine beings.

4אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ מֶחְקְרֵי־אָרֶץ וְתוֹעֲפֹת הָרִים לֽוֹIn God’s hand are the depths of the earth; the peaks of the mountains are God’s.

5אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הַיָּם וְהוּא עָשָׂהוּ וְיַבֶּשֶׁת יָדָיו יָצָֽרוּThe sea is God’s—the One who made it; and the land, fashioned by God’s hands.

6בֹּאוּ נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְנִכְרָעָה נִבְרְכָה לִֽפְנֵי־יְהֹוָה עֹשֵֽׂנוּCome, let us bow down and kneel, bend the knee before the ETERNAL our maker,

8אַל־תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה כְּיוֹם מַסָּה בַּמִּדְבָּֽרDo not be stubborn as at Meribah, as on the day of Massah, in the wilderness,

9אֲשֶׁר נִסּוּנִי אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם בְּחָנוּנִי גַּם־רָאוּ פׇעֳלִֽיwhen your ancestors put Me to the test, tried Me, though they had seen My deeds.

11אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְאַפִּי אִם־יְבֹאוּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִֽיConcerning them I swore in anger, “They shall never come to My resting-place!”

10וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָֽםand confirmed in a decree for Jacob, for Israel, as an eternal covenant,

11לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽםsaying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your allotted heritage.”

12בִּֽהְיוֹתָם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּֽהּThey were then few in number, a mere handful, sojourning there,

13וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי מִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵֽרwandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14לֹא־הִנִּיחַ אָדָם לְעׇשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽיםNone were allowed to oppress them; kings were reproved on their account,

15אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ בִמְשִׁיחָי וְלִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ“Do not touch My anointed ones; do not harm My prophets.”

16וַיִּקְרָא רָעָב עַל־הָאָרֶץ כׇּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶחֶם שָׁבָֽרA famine was called down on the land, destroying every staff of bread.

17שָׁלַח לִפְנֵיהֶם אִישׁ לְעֶבֶד נִמְכַּר יוֹסֵֽף[God] sent ahead of them an agent— Joseph, sold into slavery.

18עִנּוּ בַכֶּבֶל (רגליו) [רַגְלוֹ] בַּרְזֶל בָּאָה נַפְשֽׁוֹHis feet were subjected to fetters; an iron collar was put on his neck.

19עַד־עֵת בֹּא־דְבָרוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרָפָֽתְהוּUntil his prediction came true GOD’s decree purged him.

20שָׁלַח מֶלֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵהוּ מֹשֵׁל עַמִּים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּThe king sent to have him freed; the ruler of nations released him.

21שָׂמוֹ אָדוֹן לְבֵיתוֹ וּמֹשֵׁל בְּכׇל־קִנְיָנֽוֹHe made him the lord of his household, empowered him over all his possessions,

22לֶאְסֹר שָׂרָיו בְּנַפְשׁוֹ וּזְקֵנָיו יְחַכֵּֽםto discipline his princes at will, to teach his elders wisdom.

23וַיָּבֹא יִשְׂרָאֵל מִצְרָיִם וְיַעֲקֹב גָּר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽםThen Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24וַיֶּפֶר אֶת־עַמּוֹ מְאֹד וַיַּעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו[God] made that people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

25הָפַךְ לִבָּם לִשְׂנֹא עַמּוֹ לְהִתְנַכֵּל בַּעֲבָדָֽיוthen changed the heart [of the Egyptians] to hate this people, to plot against God’s servants.

26שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ אַהֲרֹן אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר־בּֽוֹMoses—God’s servant—was sent, and Aaron, who had been chosen.

27שָֽׂמוּ־בָם דִּבְרֵי אֹתוֹתָיו וּמֹפְתִים בְּאֶרֶץ חָֽםThey performed God’s signs among them, and wonders, against the land of Ham.

28שָׁלַֽח חֹשֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁךְ וְלֹא־מָרוּ אֶת־[דְּבָרֽוֹ] (דבריו)[God] sent darkness; it was very dark; did they not defy God’s word?

29הָפַךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶם לְדָם וַיָּמֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽםTheir waters were turned into blood and their fish were killed.

30שָׁרַץ אַרְצָם צְפַרְדְּעִים בְּחַדְרֵי מַלְכֵיהֶֽםTheir land teemed with frogs, even the rooms of their king.

31אָמַר וַיָּבֹא עָרֹב כִּנִּים בְּכׇל־גְּבוּלָֽםSwarms of insects came at God’s command, lice, throughout their country.

32נָתַן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶם בָּרָד אֵשׁ לֶהָבוֹת בְּאַרְצָֽםThey were given hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33וַיַּךְ גַּפְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָם וַיְשַׁבֵּר עֵץ גְּבוּלָֽםTheir vines and fig trees were struck, the trees of their country broken down.

34אָמַר וַיָּבֹא אַרְבֶּה וְיֶלֶק וְאֵין מִסְפָּֽרLocusts came at God’s command, grasshoppers without number.

35וַיֹּאכַל כׇּל־עֵשֶׂב בְּאַרְצָם וַיֹּאכַל פְּרִי אַדְמָתָֽםThey devoured every green thing in the land; they consumed the produce of the soil.

36וַיַּךְ כׇּל־בְּכוֹר בְּאַרְצָם רֵאשִׁית לְכׇל־אוֹנָֽם[God] struck down every [male] first-born in the land, the first fruit of their vigor.

37וַֽיּוֹצִיאֵם בְּכֶסֶף וְזָהָב וְאֵין בִּשְׁבָטָיו כּוֹשֵֽׁלIsrael was led out with silver and gold; none among their tribes faltered.

38שָׂמַח מִצְרַיִם בְּצֵאתָם כִּֽי־נָפַל פַּחְדָּם עֲלֵיהֶֽםEgypt rejoiced when they left, for dread of Israel had fallen upon them.

39פָּרַשׂ עָנָן לְמָסָךְ וְאֵשׁ לְהָאִיר לָֽיְלָה[God] spread a cloud for a cover, and fire to light up the night.

40שָׁאַל וַיָּבֵא שְׂלָו וְלֶחֶם שָׁמַיִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽםThey asked, and were brought quail, and were satisfied with food from heaven.

41פָּתַח צוּר וַיָּזוּבוּ מָיִם הָלְכוּ בַּצִּיּוֹת נָהָֽר[God] opened a rock so that water gushed forth; it flowed as a stream in the parched land.

42כִּֽי־זָכַר אֶת־דְּבַר קׇדְשׁוֹ אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָם עַבְדּֽוֹMindful of the sacred promise to Abraham—God’s servant,

43וַיּוֹצִא עַמּוֹ בְשָׂשׂוֹן בְּרִנָּה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיוThe people were led out in gladness, God’s chosen ones with joyous song.

44וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אַרְצוֹת גּוֹיִם וַעֲמַל לְאֻמִּים יִירָֽשׁוּThey were given the lands of nations; they inherited the wealth of peoples,

45בַּעֲבוּר יִשְׁמְרוּ חֻקָּיו וְתוֹרֹתָיו יִנְצֹרוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּthat they might keep God’s laws and observe God’s teachings. Hallelujah.

1הַלְלוּ־יָהּ הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹHallelujah. Praise GOD, who is good— whose steadfast love is eternal.

2מִי יְמַלֵּל גְּבוּרוֹת יְהֹוָה יַשְׁמִיעַ כׇּל־תְּהִלָּתֽוֹWho can tell GOD’s mighty acts, proclaim all due praises?

3אַשְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵי מִשְׁפָּט עֹשֵׂה צְדָקָה בְכׇל־עֵֽתHappy are those who act justly, who do right at all times.

4זׇכְרֵנִי יְהֹוָה בִּרְצוֹן עַמֶּךָ פׇּקְדֵנִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָBe mindful of me, O ETERNAL One, when You favor Your people; take note of me when You deliver them,

5לִרְאוֹת בְּטוֹבַת בְּחִירֶיךָ לִשְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַת גּוֹיֶךָ לְהִתְהַלֵּל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָthat I may enjoy the prosperity of Your chosen ones, share the joy of Your nation, glory in Your very own people.

6חָטָאנוּ עִם־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ הֶעֱוִינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּWe have sinned like our ancestors; we have gone astray, done evil.

7אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם לֹא־הִשְׂכִּילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ לֹא זָכְרוּ אֶת־רֹב חֲסָדֶיךָ וַיַּמְרוּ עַל־יָם בְּיַם־סֽוּףOur ancestors in Egypt did not perceive Your wonders; they did not remember Your abundant love, but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Reeds.

8וַֽיּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ לְהוֹדִיעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֽוֹYet they were saved, as befits God’s name, to make known God’s might.

9וַיִּגְעַר בְּיַם־סוּף וַֽיֶּחֱרָב וַיּוֹלִיכֵם בַּתְּהֹמוֹת כַּמִּדְבָּֽרA blast was sent against the Sea of Reeds; it became dry; they were led through the deep as through a wilderness.

10וַֽיּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּד שׂוֹנֵא וַיִּגְאָלֵם מִיַּד אוֹיֵֽבThey were delivered from the foe, redeemed from the enemy.

11וַיְכַסּוּ־מַיִם צָרֵיהֶם אֶחָד מֵהֶם לֹא נוֹתָֽרWater covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.

12וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בִדְבָרָיו יָשִׁירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹThen they believed God’s promise, and sang God’s praises.

13מִהֲרוּ שָׁכְחוּ מַעֲשָׂיו לֹא־חִכּוּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹBut they soon forgot those deeds; they would not wait to learn the divine plan.

14וַיִּתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵל בִּישִׁימֽוֹןThey were seized with craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the wasteland.

15וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָם וַיְשַׁלַּח רָזוֹן בְּנַפְשָֽׁםThey were given what they asked for, then made to waste away.

16וַיְקַנְאוּ לְמֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה לְאַהֲרֹן קְדוֹשׁ יְהֹוָֽהThere was envy of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, GOD’s holy one.

17תִּפְתַּח־אֶרֶץ וַתִּבְלַע דָּתָן וַתְּכַס עַל־עֲדַת אֲבִירָֽםThe earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, closed over the party of Abiram.

18וַתִּבְעַר־אֵשׁ בַּעֲדָתָם לֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט רְשָׁעִֽיםA fire blazed among their party, a flame that consumed the wicked.

19יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵגֶל בְּחֹרֵב וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְמַסֵּכָֽהThey made a calf at Horeb and bowed down to a molten image.

20וַיָּמִירוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדָם בְּתַבְנִית שׁוֹר אֹכֵל עֵֽשֶׂבThey exchanged their glory for the image of a bull that feeds on grass.

21שָׁכְחוּ אֵל מוֹשִׁיעָם עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת בְּמִצְרָֽיִםThey forgot God who saved them, who performed great deeds in Egypt,

22נִפְלָאוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ חָם נוֹרָאוֹת עַל־יַם־סֽוּףwondrous deeds in the land of Ham, awesome deeds at the Sea of Reeds.

23וַיֹּאמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִידָם לוּלֵי מֹשֶׁה בְחִירוֹ עָמַד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנָיו לְהָשִׁיב חֲמָתוֹ מֵהַשְׁחִֽיתThey would have been destroyed had not Moses, God’s chosen one, stood in the breach to avert God’s destructive wrath.

24וַֽיִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה לֹא־הֶאֱמִינוּ לִדְבָרֽוֹThey rejected the desirable land, and put no faith in the divine promise.

25וַיֵּרָגְנוּ בְאׇהֳלֵיהֶם לֹא שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יְהֹוָֽהThey grumbled in their tents and disobeyed GOD.

26וַיִּשָּׂא יָדוֹ לָהֶם לְהַפִּיל אוֹתָם בַּמִּדְבָּֽרSo a divine hand was raised in oath to make them fall in the wilderness,

27וּלְהַפִּיל זַרְעָם בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְזָרוֹתָם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹתto disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them through the lands.

28וַיִּצָּמְדוּ לְבַעַל פְּעוֹר וַיֹּאכְלוּ זִבְחֵי מֵתִֽיםThey attached themselves to Baal Peor, ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

29וַיַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם וַתִּפְרׇץ־בָּם מַגֵּפָֽהThey provoked anger by their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

30וַיַּעֲמֹד פִּֽינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּל וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָֽהPhinehas stepped forth and intervened, and the plague ceased.

31וַתֵּחָשֶׁב לוֹ לִצְדָקָה לְדֹר וָדֹר עַד־עוֹלָֽםIt was reckoned to his merit for all generations, to eternity.

32וַיַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה וַיֵּרַע לְמֹשֶׁה בַּעֲבוּרָֽםThey provoked wrath at the waters of Meribah and Moses suffered on their account,

33כִּי־הִמְרוּ אֶת־רוּחוֹ וַיְבַטֵּא בִּשְׂפָתָֽיוbecause they rebelled against [God] and he spoke rashly.

34לֹֽא־הִשְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהֹוָה לָהֶֽםThey did not destroy the nations as GOD had commanded them,

35וַיִּתְעָרְבוּ בַגּוֹיִם וַֽיִּלְמְדוּ מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽםbut mingled with the nations and learned their ways.

36וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וַיִּהְיוּ לָהֶם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁThey worshiped their idols, which became a snare for them.

37וַיִּזְבְּחוּ אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנוֹתֵיהֶם לַשֵּׁדִֽיםTheir own sons and daughters they sacrificed to demons.

38וַיִּשְׁפְּכוּ דָם נָקִי דַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר זִבְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּי כְנָעַן וַתֶּחֱנַף הָאָרֶץ בַּדָּמִֽיםThey shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land was polluted with bloodguilt.

39וַיִּטְמְאוּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם וַיִּזְנוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶֽםThus they became defiled by their acts, debauched through their deeds.

40וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהֹוָה בְּעַמּוֹ וַיְתָעֵב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֽוֹGOD was angry with this people and abhorred them as an inheritance.

41וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־גּוֹיִם וַֽיִּמְשְׁלוּ בָהֶם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽםThey were handed over to the nations; their foes ruled them.

42וַיִּלְחָצוּם אוֹיְבֵיהֶם וַיִּכָּנְעוּ תַּחַת יָדָֽםTheir enemies oppressed them and they were subject to their power.

43פְּעָמִים רַבּוֹת יַצִּילֵם וְהֵמָּה יַמְרוּ בַעֲצָתָם וַיָּמֹכּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָֽםThey were saved time and again, but they were deliberately rebellious, and so they were brought low by their iniquity.

44וַיַּרְא בַּצַּר לָהֶם בְּשׇׁמְעוֹ אֶת־רִנָּתָֽםUpon seeing that they were in distress, and hearing their cry,

45וַיִּזְכֹּר לָהֶם בְּרִיתוֹ וַיִּנָּחֵם כְּרֹב חֲסָדָֽו[God] was mindful of the covenant and in great faithfulness relented.

46וַיִּתֵּן אוֹתָם לְרַחֲמִים לִפְנֵי כׇּל־שׁוֹבֵיהֶֽםTheir captors were made to be kindly disposed toward them.

47הֽוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ מִֽן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קׇדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָDeliver us, our ETERNAL God, and gather us from among the nations, to acclaim Your holy name, to glory in Your praise.

48בָּרֽוּךְ־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעוֹלָם וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵן הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּBlessed is the ETERNAL, God of Israel, From eternity to eternity. Let all the people say, “Amen.” Hallelujah.
