Psalm 5

(א) לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִיל֗וֹת מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ (ב) אֲמָרַ֖י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בִּ֣ינָה הֲגִֽיגִי׃ (ג) הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה ׀ לְק֬וֹל שַׁוְעִ֗י מַלְכִּ֥י וֵאלֹהָ֑י כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽל׃ (ד) יְֽהוָ֗ה בֹּ֭קֶר תִּשְׁמַ֣ע קוֹלִ֑י בֹּ֥קֶר אֶֽעֱרָךְ־לְ֝ךָ֗ וַאֲצַפֶּֽה׃ (ה) כִּ֤י ׀ לֹ֤א אֵֽל־חָפֵ֘ץ רֶ֥שַׁע ׀ אָ֑תָּה לֹ֖א יְגֻרְךָ֣ רָֽע׃ (ו) לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּב֣וּ הֽ֭וֹלְלִים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑יךָ שָׂ֝נֵ֗אתָ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ (ז) תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ (ח) וַאֲנִ֗י בְּרֹ֣ב חַ֭סְדְּךָ אָב֣וֹא בֵיתֶ֑ךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥ה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃ (ט) יְהוָ֤ה ׀ נְחֵ֬נִי בְצִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ לְמַ֥עַן שׁוֹרְרָ֑י הושר [הַיְשַׁ֖ר] לְפָנַ֣י דַּרְכֶּֽךָ׃ (י) כִּ֤י אֵ֪ין בְּפִ֡יהוּ נְכוֹנָה֮ קִרְבָּ֪ם הַ֫וּ֥וֹת קֶֽבֶר־פָּת֥וּחַ גְּרוֹנָ֑ם לְ֝שׁוֹנָ֗ם יַחֲלִֽיקוּן׃ (יא) הַֽאֲשִׁימֵ֨ם ׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים יִפְּלוּ֮ מִֽמֹּעֲצ֪וֹתֵ֫יהֶ֥ם בְּרֹ֣ב פִּ֭שְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵ֑מוֹ כִּי־מָ֥רוּ בָֽךְ׃ (יב) וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ כָל־ח֪וֹסֵי בָ֡ךְ לְעוֹלָ֣ם יְ֭רַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ימוֹ וְֽיַעְלְצ֥וּ בְ֝ךָ֗ אֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ (יג) כִּֽי־אַתָּה֮ תְּבָרֵ֪ךְ צַ֫דִּ֥יק יְהוָ֑ה כַּ֝צִּנָּ֗ה רָצ֥וֹן תַּעְטְרֶֽנּוּ׃

(1) For the leader; on neḥiloth. A psalm of David. (2) Give ear to my speech, O LORD; consider my utterance. (3) Heed the sound of my cry, my king and God, for I pray to You. (4) Hear my voice, O LORD, at daybreak; at daybreak I plead before You, and wait. (5) For You are not a God who desires wickedness; evil cannot abide with You; (6) wanton men cannot endure in Your sight. You detest all evildoers; (7) You doom those who speak lies; murderous, deceitful men the LORD abhors. (8) But I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house; I bow down in awe at Your holy temple. (9) O LORD, lead me along Your righteous [path] because of my watchful foes; make Your way straight before me. (10) For there is no sincerity on their lips; their heart is [filled with] malice; their throat is an open grave; their tongue slippery. (11) Condemn them, O God; let them fall by their own devices; cast them out for their many crimes, for they defy You. (12) But let all who take refuge in You rejoice, ever jubilant as You shelter them; and let those who love Your name exult in You. (13) For You surely bless the righteous man, O LORD, encompassing him with favor like a shield.

(1) -For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. (2) O LORD, do not punish me in anger, do not chastise me in fury. (3) Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I languish; heal me, O LORD, for my bones shake with terror. (4) My whole being is stricken with terror, while You, LORD—O, how long! (5) O LORD, turn! Rescue me! Deliver me as befits Your faithfulness. (6) For there is no praise of You among the dead; in Sheol, who can acclaim You? (7) I am weary with groaning; every night I drench my bed, I melt my couch in tears. (8) My eyes are wasted by vexation, worn out because of all my foes. (9) Away from me, all you evildoers, for the LORD heeds the sound of my weeping. (10) The LORD heeds my plea, the LORD accepts my prayer. (11) All my enemies will be frustrated and stricken with terror; they will turn back in an instant, frustrated.

(1) For the leader; ‘almuth labben. A psalm of David. (2) I will praise You, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell all Your wonders. (3) I will rejoice and exult in You, singing a hymn to Your name, O Most High. (4) When my enemies retreat, they stumble to their doom at Your presence. (5) For You uphold my right and claim, enthroned as righteous judge. (6) You blast the nations; You destroy the wicked; You blot out their name forever. (7) The enemy is no more— ruins everlasting; You have torn down their cities; their very names are lost. (8) But the LORD abides forever; He has set up His throne for judgment; (9) it is He who judges the world with righteousness, rules the peoples with equity. (10) The LORD is a haven for the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble. (11) Those who know Your name trust You, for You do not abandon those who turn to You, O LORD. (12) Sing a hymn to the LORD, who reigns in Zion; declare His deeds among the peoples. (13) For He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted; He who requites bloodshed is mindful of them. (14) Have mercy on me, O LORD; see my affliction at the hands of my foes, You who lift me from the gates of death, (15) so that in the gates of Fair Zion I might tell all Your praise, I might exult in Your deliverance. (16) The nations sink in the pit they have made; their own foot is caught in the net they have hidden. (17) The LORD has made Himself known: He works judgment; the wicked man is snared by his own devices. Higgaion.Selah. (18) Let the wicked be in Sheol, all the nations who ignore God! (19) Not always shall the needy be ignored, nor the hope of the afflicted forever lost. (20) Rise, O LORD! Let not men have power; let the nations be judged in Your presence. (21) Strike fear into them, O LORD; let the nations know they are only men.Selah.

(1) For the leader. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Take to the hills like a bird! (2) For see, the wicked bend the bow, they set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright. (3) When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous man do?” (4) The LORD is in His holy palace; the LORD—His throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His gaze searches mankind. (5) The LORD seeks out the righteous man, but loathes the wicked one who loves injustice. (6) He will rain down upon the wicked blazing coals and sulfur; a scorching wind shall be their lot. (7) For the LORD is righteous; He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face.

(1) For the leader; on the sheminith. A psalm of David. (2) Help, O LORD! For the faithful are no more; the loyal have vanished from among men. (3) Men speak lies to one another; their speech is smooth; they talk with duplicity. (4) May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, every tongue that speaks arrogance. (5) They say, “By our tongues we shall prevail; with lips such as ours, who can be our master?” (6) “Because of the groans of the plundered poor and needy, I will now act,” says the LORD. -“I will give help,” He affirms to him. (7) The words of the LORD are pure words, silver purged in an earthen crucible, refined sevenfold. (8) You, O LORD, will keep them, guarding each from this age evermore. (9) On every side the wicked roam when baseness is exalted among men.

(1) For the leader. A psalm of David. (2) How long, O LORD; will You ignore me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? (3) How long will I have cares on my mind, grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand? (4) Look at me, answer me, O LORD, my God! Restore the luster to my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; (5) lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” my foes exult when I totter. (6) But I trust in Your faithfulness, my heart will exult in Your deliverance. I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

(1) For the leader. A psalm of David. (2) The heavens declare the glory of God, the sky proclaims His handiwork. (3) Day to day makes utterance, night to night speaks out. (4) There is no utterance, there are no words, whose sound goes unheard. (5) Their voice carries throughout the earth, their words to the end of the world. He placed in them a tent for the sun, (6) who is like a groom coming forth from the chamber, like a hero, eager to run his course. (7) His rising-place is at one end of heaven, and his circuit reaches the other; nothing escapes his heat. (8) The teaching of the LORD is perfect, renewing life; the decrees of the LORD are enduring, making the simple wise; (9) The precepts of the LORD are just, rejoicing the heart; the instruction of the LORD is lucid, making the eyes light up. (10) The fear of the LORD is pure, abiding forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, righteous altogether, (11) more desirable than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter than honey, than drippings of the comb. (12) Your servant pays them heed; in obeying them there is much reward. (13) Who can be aware of errors? Clear me of unperceived guilt, (14) and from willful sins keep Your servant; let them not dominate me; then shall I be blameless and clear of grave offense. (15) May the words of my mouth and the prayer of my heart be acceptable to You, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

(1) For the leader; on ayyeleth ha-shaḥar. A psalm of David. (2) My God, my God, why have You abandoned me; why so far from delivering me and from my anguished roaring? (3) My God, I cry by day—You answer not; by night, and have no respite. (4) But You are the Holy One, enthroned, the Praise of Israel. (5) In You our fathers trusted; they trusted, and You rescued them. (6) To You they cried out and they escaped; in You they trusted and were not disappointed. (7) But I am a worm, less than human; scorned by men, despised by people. (8) All who see me mock me; they curl their lips, they shake their heads. (9) “Let him commit himself to the LORD; let Him rescue him, let Him save him, for He is pleased with him.” (10) You drew me from the womb, made me secure at my mother’s breast. (11) I became Your charge at birth; from my mother’s womb You have been my God. (12) Do not be far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. (13) Many bulls surround me, mighty ones of Bashan encircle me. (14) They open their mouths at me like tearing, roaring lions. (15) My life ebbs away: all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me; (16) my vigor dries up like a shard; my tongue cleaves to my palate; You commit me to the dust of death. (17) Dogs surround me; a pack of evil ones closes in on me, like lions [they maul] my hands and feet. (18) I take the count of all my bones while they look on and gloat. (19) They divide my clothes among themselves, casting lots for my garments. (20) But You, O LORD, be not far off; my strength, hasten to my aid. (21) Save my life from the sword, my precious life from the clutches of a dog. (22) Deliver me from a lion’s mouth; from the horns of wild oxen rescue me. (23) Then will I proclaim Your fame to my brethren, praise You in the congregation. (24) You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you offspring of Jacob, honor Him! Be in dread of Him, all you offspring of Israel! (25) For He did not scorn, He did not spurn the plea of the lowly; He did not hide His face from him; when he cried out to Him, He listened. (26) Because of You I offer praise in the great congregation; I pay my vows in the presence of His worshipers. (27) Let the lowly eat and be satisfied; let all who seek the LORD praise Him. Always be of good cheer! (28) Let all the ends of the earth pay heed and turn to the LORD, and the peoples of all nations prostrate themselves before You; (29) for kingship is the LORD’s and He rules the nations. (30) All those in full vigor shall eat and prostrate themselves; all those at death’s door, whose spirits flag, shall bend the knee before Him. (31) Offspring shall serve Him; the Lord’s fame shall be proclaimed to the generation (32) to come; they shall tell of His beneficence to people yet to be born, for He has acted.

Psalm 23

(א) מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑ד יְהוָ֥ה רֹ֝עִ֗י לֹ֣א אֶחְסָֽר׃ (ב) בִּנְא֣וֹת דֶּ֭שֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵ֑נִי עַל־מֵ֖י מְנֻח֣וֹת יְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃ (ג) נַפְשִׁ֥י יְשׁוֹבֵ֑ב יַֽנְחֵ֥נִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי־צֶ֝֗דֶק לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֽוֹ׃ (ד) גַּ֤ם כִּֽי־אֵלֵ֨ךְ בְּגֵ֪יא צַלְמָ֡וֶת לֹא־אִ֘ירָ֤א רָ֗ע כִּי־אַתָּ֥ה עִמָּדִ֑י שִׁבְטְךָ֥ וּ֝מִשְׁעַנְתֶּ֗ךָ הֵ֣מָּה יְנַֽחֲמֻֽנִי׃ (ה) תַּעֲרֹ֬ךְ לְפָנַ֨י ׀ שֻׁלְחָ֗ן נֶ֥גֶד צֹרְרָ֑י דִּשַּׁ֖נְתָּ בַשֶּׁ֥מֶן רֹ֝אשִׁ֗י כּוֹסִ֥י רְוָיָֽה׃ (ו) אַ֤ךְ ׀ ט֤וֹב וָחֶ֣סֶד יִ֭רְדְּפוּנִי כָּל־יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֑י וְשַׁבְתִּ֥י בְּבֵית־יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְאֹ֣רֶךְ יָמִֽים׃

(1) A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I lack nothing. (2) He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me to water in places of repose; (3) He renews my life; He guides me in right paths as befits His name. (4) Though I walk through a valley of deepest darkness, I fear no harm, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me. (5) You spread a table for me in full view of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my drink is abundant. (6) Only goodness and steadfast love shall pursue me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for many long years.

(1) Of David. A psalm. The earth is the LORD’s and all that it holds, the world and its inhabitants. (2) For He founded it upon the ocean, set it on the nether-streams. (3) Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?— (4) He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken a false oath by My life or sworn deceitfully. (5) He shall carry away a blessing from the LORD, a just reward from God, his deliverer. (6) Such is the circle of those who turn to Him, Jacob, who seek Your presence.Selah. (7) O gates, lift up your heads! Up high, you everlasting doors, so the King of glory may come in! (8) Who is the King of glory?— the LORD, mighty and valiant, the LORD, valiant in battle. (9) O gates, lift up your heads! Lift them up, you everlasting doors, so the King of glory may come in! (10) Who is the King of glory?— the LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory!Selah.

(1) Of David. Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked without blame; I have trusted in the LORD; I have not faltered. (2) Probe me, O LORD, and try me, test my heart and mind; (3) for my eyes are on Your steadfast love; I have set my course by it. (4) I do not consort with scoundrels, or mix with hypocrites; (5) I detest the company of evil men, and do not consort with the wicked; (6) I wash my hands in innocence, and walk around Your altar, O LORD, (7) raising my voice in thanksgiving, and telling all Your wonders. (8) O LORD, I love Your temple abode, the dwelling-place of Your glory. (9) Do not sweep me away with sinners, or [snuff out] my life with murderers, (10) who have schemes at their fingertips, and hands full of bribes. (11) But I walk without blame; redeem me, have mercy on me! (12) My feet are on level ground. In assemblies I will bless the LORD.

(1) Of David. O LORD, I call to You; my rock, do not disregard me, for if You hold aloof from me, I shall be like those gone down into the Pit. (2) Listen to my plea for mercy when I cry out to You, when I lift my hands toward Your inner sanctuary. (3) Do not count me with the wicked and evildoers who profess goodwill toward their fellows while malice is in their heart. (4) Pay them according to their deeds, their malicious acts; according to their handiwork pay them, give them their deserts. (5) For they do not consider the LORD’s deeds, the work of His hands. May He tear them down, never to rebuild them! (6) Blessed is the LORD, for He listens to my plea for mercy. (7) The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him. I was helped, and my heart exulted, so I will glorify Him with my song. (8) The LORD is their strength; He is a stronghold for the deliverance of His anointed. (9) Deliver and bless Your very own people; tend them and sustain them forever.

(1) A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the House. (2) I extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, and not let my enemies rejoice over me. (3) O LORD, my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me. (4) O LORD, You brought me up from Sheol, preserved me from going down into the Pit. (5) O you faithful of the LORD, sing to Him, and praise His holy name. (6) For He is angry but a moment, and when He is pleased there is life. One may lie down weeping at nightfall; but at dawn there are shouts of joy. (7) When I was untroubled, I thought, “I shall never be shaken,” (8) for You, O Lord, when You were pleased, made [me] firm as a mighty mountain. When You hid Your face, I was terrified. (9) I called to You, O LORD; to my Lord I made appeal, (10) “What is to be gained from my death, from my descent into the Pit? Can dust praise You? Can it declare Your faithfulness? (11) Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; O LORD, be my help!” (12) You turned my lament into dancing, you undid my sackcloth and girded me with joy, (13) that [my] whole being might sing hymns to You endlessly; O LORD my God, I will praise You forever.

(א) רַנְּנ֣וּ צַ֭דִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָ֑ה לַ֝יְשָׁרִ֗ים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃ (ב) הוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּכִנּ֑וֹר בְּנֵ֥בֶל עָ֝שׂ֗וֹר זַמְּרוּ־לֽוֹ׃ (ג) שִֽׁירוּ־ל֭וֹ שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ הֵיטִ֥יבוּ נַ֝גֵּ֗ן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃ (ד) כִּֽי־יָשָׁ֥ר דְּבַר־יְהוָ֑ה וְכָל־מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗הוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָֽה׃ (ה) אֹ֭הֵב צְדָקָ֣ה וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט חֶ֥סֶד יְ֝הוָ֗ה מָלְאָ֥ה הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (ו) בִּדְבַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה שָׁמַ֣יִם נַעֲשׂ֑וּ וּבְר֥וּחַ פִּ֝֗יו כָּל־צְבָאָֽם׃ (ז) כֹּנֵ֣ס כַּ֭נֵּד מֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם נֹתֵ֖ן בְּאֹצָר֣וֹת תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃ (ח) יִֽירְא֣וּ מֵ֭יְהוָה כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נּוּ יָ֝ג֗וּרוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃ (ט) כִּ֤י ה֣וּא אָמַ֣ר וַיֶּ֑הִי הֽוּא־צִ֝וָּ֗ה וַֽיַּעֲמֹֽד׃ (י) יְֽהוָ֗ה הֵפִ֥יר עֲצַת־גּוֹיִ֑ם הֵ֝נִ֗יא מַחְשְׁב֥וֹת עַמִּֽים׃ (יא) עֲצַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה לְעוֹלָ֣ם תַּעֲמֹ֑ד מַחְשְׁב֥וֹת לִ֝בּ֗וֹ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃ (יב) אַשְׁרֵ֣י הַ֭גּוֹי אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו הָעָ֓ם ׀ בָּחַ֖ר לְנַחֲלָ֣ה לֽוֹ׃ (יג) מִ֭שָּׁמַיִם הִבִּ֣יט יְהוָ֑ה רָ֝אָ֗ה אֶֽת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם׃ (יד) מִֽמְּכוֹן־שִׁבְתּ֥וֹ הִשְׁגִּ֑יחַ אֶ֖ל כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (טו) הַיֹּצֵ֣ר יַ֣חַד לִבָּ֑ם הַ֝מֵּבִ֗ין אֶל־כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ (טז) אֵֽין־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ נוֹשָׁ֣ע בְּרָב־חָ֑יִל גִּ֝בּ֗וֹר לֹֽא־יִנָּצֵ֥ל בְּרָב־כֹּֽחַ׃ (יז) שֶׁ֣קֶר הַ֭סּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָ֑ה וּבְרֹ֥ב חֵ֝יל֗וֹ לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט׃ (יח) הִנֵּ֤ה עֵ֣ין יְ֭הוָה אֶל־יְרֵאָ֑יו לַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדּֽוֹ׃ (יט) לְהַצִּ֣יל מִמָּ֣וֶת נַפְשָׁ֑ם וּ֝לְחַיּוֹתָ֗ם בָּרָעָֽב׃ (כ) נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָ֣ה לַֽיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרֵ֖נוּ וּמָגִנֵּ֣נוּ הֽוּא׃ (כא) כִּי־ב֭וֹ יִשְׂמַ֣ח לִבֵּ֑נוּ כִּ֤י בְשֵׁ֖ם קָדְשׁ֣וֹ בָטָֽחְנוּ׃ (כב) יְהִֽי־חַסְדְּךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ כַּ֝אֲשֶׁ֗ר יִחַ֥לְנוּ לָֽךְ׃

(1) Sing forth, O you righteous, to the LORD; it is fit that the upright acclaim Him. (2) Praise the LORD with the lyre; with the ten-stringed harp sing to Him; (3) sing Him a new song; play sweetly with shouts of joy. (4) For the word of the LORD is right; His every deed is faithful. (5) He loves what is right and just; the earth is full of the LORD’s faithful care. (6) By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, by the breath of His mouth, all their host. (7) He heaps up the ocean waters like a mound, stores the deep in vaults. (8) Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world dread Him. (9) For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it endured. (10) The LORD frustrates the plans of nations, brings to naught the designs of peoples. (11) What the LORD plans endures forever, what He designs, for ages on end. (12) Happy the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen to be His own. (13) The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all mankind. (14) From His dwelling-place He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth— (15) He who fashions the hearts of them all, who discerns all their doings. (16) Kings are not delivered by a large force; warriors are not saved by great strength; (17) horses are a false hope for deliverance; for all their great power they provide no escape. (18) Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, who wait for His faithful care (19) to save them from death, to sustain them in famine. (20) We set our hope on the LORD, He is our help and shield; (21) in Him our hearts rejoice, for in His holy name we trust. (22) May we enjoy, O LORD, Your faithful care, as we have put our hope in You.

Psalms 34

(א) לְדָוִ֗ד בְּשַׁנּוֹת֣וֹ אֶת־טַ֭עְמוֹ לִפְנֵ֣י אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וַֽ֝יְגָרֲשֵׁ֗הוּ וַיֵּלַֽךְ׃ (ב) אֲבָרֲכָ֣ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת תָּ֝מִ֗יד תְּֽהִלָּת֥וֹ בְּפִֽי׃ (ג) בַּ֭יהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל נַפְשִׁ֑י יִשְׁמְע֖וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃ (ד) גַּדְּל֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה אִתִּ֑י וּנְרוֹמְמָ֖ה שְׁמ֣וֹ יַחְדָּֽו׃ (ה) דָּרַ֣שְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה וְעָנָ֑נִי וּמִכָּל־מְ֝גוּרוֹתַ֗י הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ (ו) הִבִּ֣יטוּ אֵלָ֣יו וְנָהָ֑רוּ וּ֝פְנֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃ (ז) זֶ֤ה עָנִ֣י קָ֭רָא וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רוֹתָ֗יו הוֹשִׁיעֽוֹ׃ (ח) חֹנֶ֤ה מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָ֓ה סָ֘בִ֤יב לִֽירֵאָ֗יו וַֽיְחַלְּצֵֽם׃ (ט) טַעֲמ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ כִּי־ט֣וֹב יְהוָ֑ה אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י הַ֝גֶּ֗בֶר יֶחֱסֶה־בּֽוֹ׃ (י) יְר֣אוּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה קְדֹשָׁ֑יו כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַ֝חְס֗וֹר לִירֵאָֽיו׃ (יא) כְּ֭פִירִים רָשׁ֣וּ וְרָעֵ֑בוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה לֹא־יַחְסְר֥וּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃ (יב) לְֽכוּ־בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִ֑י יִֽרְאַ֥ת יְ֝הוָ֗ה אֲלַמֶּדְכֶֽם׃ (יג) מִֽי־הָ֭אִישׁ הֶחָפֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים אֹהֵ֥ב יָ֝מִ֗ים לִרְא֥וֹת טֽוֹב׃ (יד) נְצֹ֣ר לְשׁוֹנְךָ֣ מֵרָ֑ע וּ֝שְׂפָתֶ֗יךָ מִדַּבֵּ֥ר מִרְמָֽה׃ (טו) ס֣וּר מֵ֭רָע וַעֲשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב בַּקֵּ֖שׁ שָׁל֣וֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃ (טז) עֵינֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְ֝אָזְנָ֗יו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃ (יז) פְּנֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה בְּעֹ֣שֵׂי רָ֑ע לְהַכְרִ֖ית מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ (יח) צָעֲק֣וּ וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רוֹתָ֗ם הִצִּילָֽם׃ (יט) קָר֣וֹב יְ֭הוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־ר֥וּחַ יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ (כ) רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ יְהוָֽה׃ (כא) שֹׁמֵ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָ֑יו אַחַ֥ת מֵ֝הֵ֗נָּה לֹ֣א נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃ (כב) תְּמוֹתֵ֣ת רָשָׁ֣ע רָעָ֑ה וְשֹׂנְאֵ֖י צַדִּ֣יק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃ (כג) פּוֹדֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה נֶ֣פֶשׁ עֲבָדָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יֶ֝אְשְׁמ֗וּ כָּֽל־הַחֹסִ֥ים בּֽוֹ׃

(1) Of David, when he feigned madness in the presence of Abimelech, who turned him out, and he left. (2) I bless the LORD at all times; praise of Him is ever in my mouth. (3) I glory in the LORD; let the lowly hear it and rejoice. (4) Exalt the LORD with me; let us extol His name together. (5) I turned to the LORD, and He answered me; He saved me from all my terrors. (6) Men look to Him and are radiant; let their faces not be downcast. (7) Here was a lowly man who called, and the LORD listened, and delivered him from all his troubles. (8) The angel of the LORD camps around those who fear Him and rescues them. (9) Taste and see how good the LORD is; happy the man who takes refuge in Him! (10) Fear the LORD, you His consecrated ones, for those who fear Him lack nothing. (11) Lions have been reduced to starvation, but those who turn to the LORD shall not lack any good. (12) Come, my sons, listen to me; I will teach you what it is to fear the LORD. (13) Who is the man who is eager for life, who desires years of good fortune? (14) Guard your tongue from evil, your lips from deceitful speech. (15) Shun evil and do good, seek amity and pursue it. (16) The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, His ears attentive to their cry. (17) The face of the LORD is set against evildoers, to erase their names from the earth. (18) They cry out, and the LORD hears, and saves them from all their troubles. (19) The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; those crushed in spirit He delivers. (20) Though the misfortunes of the righteous be many, the LORD will save him from them all, (21) Keeping all his bones intact, not one of them being broken. (22) One misfortune is the deathblow of the wicked; the foes of the righteous shall be ruined. (23) The LORD redeems the life of His servants; all who take refuge in Him shall not be ruined.

(א) לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לְעֶֽבֶד־יְהוָ֬ה לְדָוִֽד׃ (ב) נְאֻֽם־פֶּ֣שַׁע לָ֭רָשָׁע בְּקֶ֣רֶב לִבִּ֑י אֵֽין־פַּ֥חַד אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ (ג) כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִ֣יק אֵלָ֣יו בְּעֵינָ֑יו לִמְצֹ֖א עֲוֺנ֣וֹ לִשְׂנֹֽא׃ (ד) דִּבְרֵי־פִ֭יו אָ֣וֶן וּמִרְמָ֑ה חָדַ֖ל לְהַשְׂכִּ֣יל לְהֵיטִֽיב׃ (ה) אָ֤וֶן ׀ יַחְשֹׁ֗ב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּ֫ב֥וֹ יִ֭תְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּ֣רֶךְ לֹא־ט֑וֹב רָ֝֗ע לֹ֣א יִמְאָֽס׃ (ו) יְ֭הוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃ (ז) צִדְקָֽתְךָ֨ ׀ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵ֗ל מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶךָ תְּה֣וֹם רַבָּ֑ה אָ֤דָֽם־וּבְהֵמָ֖ה תוֹשִׁ֣יעַ יְהוָֽה׃ (ח) מַה־יָּקָ֥ר חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים וּבְנֵ֥י אָדָ֑ם בְּצֵ֥ל כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃ (ט) יִ֭רְוְיֻן מִדֶּ֣שֶׁן בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וְנַ֖חַל עֲדָנֶ֣יךָ תַשְׁקֵֽם׃ (י) כִּֽי־עִ֭מְּךָ מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים בְּ֝אוֹרְךָ֗ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹר׃ (יא) מְשֹׁ֣ךְ חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶ֑יךָ וְ֝צִדְקָֽתְךָ֗ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ (יב) אַל־תְּ֭בוֹאֵנִי רֶ֣גֶל גַּאֲוָ֑ה וְיַד־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִי׃ (יג) שָׁ֣ם נָ֭פְלוּ פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן דֹּ֝ח֗וּ וְלֹא־יָ֥כְלוּ קֽוּם׃

(1) For the leader. Of the servant of the LORD, of David. (2) I know what Transgression says to the wicked; he has no sense of the dread of God, (3) because its speech is seductive to him till his iniquity be found out and he be hated. (4) His words are evil and deceitful; he will not consider doing good. (5) In bed he plots mischief; he is set on a path of no good, he does not reject evil. (6) O LORD, Your faithfulness reaches to heaven; Your steadfastness to the sky; (7) Your beneficence is like the high mountains; Your justice like the great deep; man and beast You deliver, O LORD. (8) How precious is Your faithful care, O God! Mankind shelters in the shadow of Your wings. (9) They feast on the rich fare of Your house; You let them drink at Your refreshing stream. (10) With You is the fountain of life; by Your light do we see light. (11) Bestow Your faithful care on those devoted to You, and Your beneficence on upright men. (12) Let not the foot of the arrogant tread on me, or the hand of the wicked drive me away. (13) There lie the evildoers, fallen, thrust down, unable to rise.

(1) For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. (2) I resolved I would watch my step lest I offend by my speech; I would keep my mouth muzzled while the wicked man was in my presence. (3) I was dumb, silent; I was very still while my pain was intense. (4) My mind was in a rage, my thoughts were all aflame; I spoke out: (5) Tell me, O LORD, what my term is, what is the measure of my days; I would know how fleeting my life is. (6) You have made my life just handbreadths long; its span is as nothing in Your sight; no man endures any longer than a breath. Selah. (7) Man walks about as a mere shadow; mere futility is his hustle and bustle, amassing and not knowing who will gather in. (8) What, then, can I count on, O Lord? In You my hope lies. (9) Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the butt of the benighted. (10) I am dumb, I do not speak up, for it is Your doing. (11) Take away Your plague from me; I perish from Your blows. (12) You chastise a man in punishment for his sin, consuming like a moth what he treasures. No man is more than a breath.Selah. (13) Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my cry; do not disregard my tears; for like all my forebears I am an alien, resident with You. (14) Look away from me, that I may recover, before I pass away and am gone.

(1) For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites. (2) Like a hind crying for water, my soul cries for You, O God; (3) my soul thirsts for God, the living God; O when will I come to appear before God! (4) My tears have been my food day and night; I am ever taunted with, “Where is your God?” (5) When I think of this, I pour out my soul: how I walked with the crowd, moved with them, the festive throng, to the House of God with joyous shouts of praise. (6) Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet praise Him for His saving presence. (7) O my God, my soul is downcast; therefore I think of You in this land of Jordan and Hermon, in Mount Mizar, (8) where deep calls to deep in the roar of Your cataracts; all Your breakers and billows have swept over me. (9) By day may the LORD vouchsafe His faithful care, so that at night a song to Him may be with me, a prayer to the God of my life. (10) I say to God, my rock, “Why have You forgotten me, why must I walk in gloom, oppressed by my enemy?” (11) Crushing my bones, my foes revile me, taunting me always with, “Where is your God?” (12) Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet praise Him, my ever-present help, my God.

(1) For the leader. Of the Korahites. A maskil. (2) We have heard, O God, our fathers have told us the deeds You performed in their time, in days of old. (3) With Your hand You planted them, displacing nations; You brought misfortune on peoples, and drove them out. (4) It was not by their sword that they took the land, their arm did not give them victory, but Your right hand, Your arm, and Your goodwill, for You favored them. (5) You are my king, O God; decree victories for Jacob! (6) Through You we gore our foes; by Your name we trample our adversaries; (7) I do not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that gives me victory; (8) You give us victory over our foes; You thwart those who hate us. (9) In God we glory at all times, and praise Your name unceasingly.Selah. (10) Yet You have rejected and disgraced us; You do not go with our armies. (11) You make us retreat before our foe; our enemies plunder us at will. (12) You let them devour us like sheep; You disperse us among the nations. (13) You sell Your people for no fortune, You set no high price on them. (14) You make us the butt of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us. (15) You make us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. (16) I am always aware of my disgrace; I am wholly covered with shame (17) at the sound of taunting revilers, in the presence of the vengeful foe. (18) All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten You, or been false to Your covenant. (19) Our hearts have not gone astray, nor have our feet swerved from Your path, (20) though You cast us, crushed, to where the sea monster is, and covered us over with deepest darkness. (21) If we forgot the name of our God and spread forth our hands to a foreign god, (22) God would surely search it out, for He knows the secrets of the heart. (23) It is for Your sake that we are slain all day long, that we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. (24) Rouse Yourself; why do You sleep, O Lord? Awaken, do not reject us forever! (25) Why do You hide Your face, ignoring our affliction and distress? (26) We lie prostrate in the dust; our body clings to the ground. (27) Arise and help us, redeem us, as befits Your faithfulness.

(1) For the leader. A psalm of David, (2) when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had come to Bathsheba. (3) Have mercy upon me, O God, as befits Your faithfulness; in keeping with Your abundant compassion, blot out my transgressions. (4) Wash me thoroughly of my iniquity, and purify me of my sin; (5) for I recognize my transgressions, and am ever conscious of my sin. (6) Against You alone have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight; so You are just in Your sentence, and right in Your judgment. (7) Indeed I was born with iniquity; with sin my mother conceived me. (8) Indeed You desire truth about that which is hidden; teach me wisdom about secret things. (9) Purge me with hyssop till I am pure; wash me till I am whiter than snow. (10) Let me hear tidings of joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed exult. (11) Hide Your face from my sins; blot out all my iniquities. (12) Fashion a pure heart for me, O God; create in me a steadfast spirit. (13) Do not cast me out of Your presence, or take Your holy spirit away from me. (14) Let me again rejoice in Your help; let a vigorous spirit sustain me. (15) I will teach transgressors Your ways, that sinners may return to You. (16) Save me from bloodguilt, O God, God, my deliverer, that I may sing forth Your beneficence. (17) O Lord, open my lips, and let my mouth declare Your praise. (18) You do not want me to bring sacrifices; You do not desire burnt offerings; (19) True sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit; God, You will not despise a contrite and crushed heart. (20) May it please You to make Zion prosper; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. (21) Then You will want sacrifices offered in righteousness, burnt and whole offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.

(1) For the leader; with instrumental music. A maskil of David. (2) Give ear, O God, to my prayer; do not ignore my plea; (3) pay heed to me and answer me. I am tossed about, complaining and moaning (4) at the clamor of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring evil upon me and furiously harass me. (5) My heart is convulsed within me; terrors of death assail me. (6) Fear and trembling invade me; I am clothed with horror. (7) I said, “O that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and find rest; (8) surely, I would flee far off; I would lodge in the wilderness;selah (9) I would soon find me a refuge from the sweeping wind, from the tempest.” (10) O Lord, confound their speech, confuse it! For I see lawlessness and strife in the city; (11) day and night they make their rounds on its walls; evil and mischief are inside it. (12) Malice is within it; fraud and deceit never leave its square. (13) It is not an enemy who reviles me —I could bear that; it is not my foe who vaunts himself against me —I could hide from him; (14) but it is you, my equal, my companion, my friend; (15) sweet was our fellowship; we walked together in God’s house. (16) Let Him incite death against them; may they go down alive into Sheol! For where they dwell, there evil is. (17) As for me, I call to God; the LORD will deliver me. (18) Evening, morning, and noon, I complain and moan, and He hears my voice. (19) He redeems me unharmed from the battle against me; it is as though many are on my side. (20) God who has reigned from the first, who will have no successor, hears and humbles those who have no fear of God.Selah. (21) He harmed his ally, he broke his pact; (22) his talk was smoother than butter, yet his mind was on war; his words were more soothing than oil, yet they were drawn swords. (23) Cast your burden on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous man collapse. (24) For You, O God, will bring them down to the nethermost Pit— those murderous, treacherous men; they shall not live out half their days; but I trust in You.

(1) For the leader; with instrumental music. Of David. (2) Hear my cry, O God, heed my prayer. (3) From the end of the earth I call to You; when my heart is faint, You lead me to a rock that is high above me. (4) For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy. (5) O that I might dwell in Your tent forever, take refuge under Your protecting wings. Selah. (6) O God, You have heard my vows; grant the request of those who fear Your name. (7) Add days to the days of the king; may his years extend through generations; (8) may he dwell in God’s presence forever; appoint steadfast love to guard him. (9) So I will sing hymns to Your name forever, as I fulfill my vows day after day.

(1) A psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. (2) God, You are my God; I search for You, my soul thirsts for You, my body yearns for You, as a parched and thirsty land that has no water. (3) I shall behold You in the sanctuary, and see Your might and glory, (4) Truly Your faithfulness is better than life; my lips declare Your praise. (5) I bless You all my life; I lift up my hands, invoking Your name. (6) I am sated as with a rich feast, I sing praises with joyful lips (7) when I call You to mind upon my bed, when I think of You in the watches of the night; (8) for You are my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I shout for joy. (9) My soul is attached to You; Your right hand supports me. (10) May those who seek to destroy my life enter the depths of the earth. (11) May they be gutted by the sword; may they be prey to jackals. (12) But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by Him shall exult, when the mouth of liars is stopped.

(1) For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. (2) Praise befits You in Zion, O God; vows are paid to You; (3) all mankind comes to You, You who hear prayer. (4) When all manner of sins overwhelm me, it is You who forgive our iniquities. (5) Happy is the man You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts; may we be sated with the blessings of Your house, Your holy temple. (6) Answer us with victory through awesome deeds, O God, our deliverer, in whom all the ends of the earth and the distant seas put their trust; (7) who by His power fixed the mountains firmly, who is girded with might, (8) who stills the raging seas, the raging waves, and tumultuous peoples. (9) Those who live at the ends of the earth are awed by Your signs; You make the lands of sunrise and sunset shout for joy. (10) You take care of the earth and irrigate it; You enrich it greatly, with the channel of God full of water; You provide grain for men; for so do You prepare it. (11) Saturating its furrows, leveling its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth. (12) You crown the year with Your bounty; fatness is distilled in Your paths; (13) the pasturelands distill it; the hills are girded with joy. (14) The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys mantled with grain; they raise a shout, they break into song.

(1) For the leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. (2) God will arise, His enemies shall be scattered, His foes shall flee before Him. (3) Disperse them as smoke is dispersed; as wax melts at fire, so the wicked shall perish before God. (4) But the righteous shall rejoice; they shall exult in the presence of God; they shall be exceedingly joyful. (5) Sing to God, chant hymns to His name; extol Him who rides the clouds; the LORD is His name. Exult in His presence— (6) the father of orphans, the champion of widows, God, in His holy habitation. (7) God restores the lonely to their homes, sets free the imprisoned, safe and sound, while the rebellious must live in a parched land. (8) O God, when You went at the head of Your army, when You marched through the desert, selah (9) the earth trembled, the sky rained because of God, yon Sinai, because of God, the God of Israel. (10) You released a bountiful rain, O God; when Your own land languished, You sustained it. (11) Your tribe dwells there; O God, in Your goodness You provide for the needy. (12) The Lord gives a command; the women who bring the news are a great host: (13) “The kings and their armies are in headlong flight; housewives are sharing in the spoils; (14) even for those of you who lie among the sheepfolds there are wings of a dove sheathed in silver, its pinions in fine gold.” (15) When Shaddai scattered the kings, it seemed like a snowstorm in Zalmon. (16) O majestic mountain, Mount Bashan; O jagged mountain, Mount Bashan; (17) why so hostile, O jagged mountains, toward the mountain God desired as His dwelling? The LORD shall abide there forever. (18) God’s chariots are myriads upon myriads, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them as in Sinai in holiness. (19) You went up to the heights, having taken captives, having received tribute of men, even of those who rebel against the LORD God’s abiding there. (20) Blessed is the Lord. Day by day He supports us, God, our deliverance. Selah. (21) God is for us a God of deliverance; GOD the Lord provides an escape from death. (22) God will smash the heads of His enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks about in his guilt. (23) The Lord said, “I will retrieve from Bashan, I will retrieve from the depths of the sea; (24) that your feet may wade through blood; that the tongue of your dogs may have its portion of your enemies.” (25) Men see Your processions, O God, the processions of my God, my king, into the sanctuary. (26) First come singers, then musicians, amidst maidens playing timbrels. (27) In assemblies bless God, the LORD, O you who are from the fountain of Israel. (28) There is little Benjamin who rules them, the princes of Judah who command them, the princes of Zebulun and Naphtali. (29) Your God has ordained strength for you, the strength, O God, which You displayed for us (30) from Your temple above Jerusalem. The kings bring You tribute. (31) Blast the beast of the marsh, the herd of bulls among the peoples, the calves, till they come cringing with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples who delight in wars! (32) Tribute-bearers shall come from Egypt; Cush shall hasten its gifts to God. (33) O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God; chant hymns to the Lord, selah (34) to Him who rides the ancient highest heavens, who thunders forth with His mighty voice. (35) Ascribe might to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose might is in the skies. (36) You are awesome, O God, in Your holy places; it is the God of Israel who gives might and power to the people. Blessed is God.

(1) For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. (2) Deliver me, O God, for the waters have reached my neck; (3) I am sinking into the slimy deep and find no foothold; I have come into the watery depths; the flood sweeps me away. (4) I am weary with calling; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait for God. (5) More 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? (6) God, You know my folly; my guilty deeds are not hidden from You. (7) Let those who look to You, O Lord, God of hosts, not be disappointed on my account; let those who seek You, O God of Israel, not be shamed because of me. (8) It is for Your sake that I have been reviled, that shame covers my face; (9) I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my kin. (10) My zeal for Your house has been my undoing; the reproaches of those who revile You have fallen upon me. (11) When I wept and fasted, I was reviled for it. (12) I made sackcloth my garment; I became a byword among them. (13) Those who sit in the gate talk about me; I am the taunt of drunkards. (14) As for me, may my prayer come to You, O LORD, at a favorable moment; O God, in Your abundant faithfulness, answer me with Your sure deliverance. (15) Rescue me from the mire; let me not sink; let me be rescued from my enemies, and from the watery depths. (16) Let the floodwaters not sweep me away; let the deep not swallow me; let the mouth of the Pit not close over me. (17) Answer me, O LORD, according to Your great steadfastness; in accordance with Your abundant mercy turn to me; (18) do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly. (19) Come near to me and redeem me; free me from my enemies. (20) You know my reproach, my shame, my disgrace; You are aware of all my foes. (21) Reproach breaks my heart, I am in despair; I hope for consolation, but there is none, for comforters, but find none. (22) They give me gall for food, vinegar to quench my thirst. (23) May their table be a trap for them, a snare for their allies. (24) May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see; may their loins collapse continually. (25) Pour out Your wrath on them; may Your blazing anger overtake them; (26) may their encampments be desolate; may their tents stand empty. (27) For they persecute those You have struck; they talk about the pain of those You have felled. (28) Add that to their guilt; let them have no share of Your beneficence; (29) may they be erased from the book of life, and not be inscribed with the righteous. (30) But I am lowly and in pain; Your help, O God, keeps me safe. (31) I will extol God’s name with song, and exalt Him with praise. (32) That will please the LORD more than oxen, than bulls with horns and hooves. (33) The lowly will see and rejoice; you who are mindful of God, take heart! (34) For the LORD listens to the needy, and does not spurn His captives. (35) Heaven and earth shall extol Him, the seas, and all that moves in them. (36) For God will deliver Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah; they shall live there and inherit it; (37) the offspring of His servants shall possess it; those who cherish His name shall dwell there.

(1) I seek refuge in You, O LORD; may I never be disappointed. (2) As You are beneficent, save me and rescue me; incline Your ear to me and deliver me. (3) Be a sheltering rock for me to which I may always repair; decree my deliverance, for You are my rock and my fortress. (4) My God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and the lawless. (5) For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth. (6) While yet unborn, I depended on You; in the womb of my mother, You were my support; I sing Your praises always. (7) I have become an example for many, since You are my mighty refuge. (8) My mouth is full of praise to You, glorifying You all day long. (9) Do not cast me off in old age; when my strength fails, do not forsake me! (10) For my enemies talk against me; those who wait for me are of one mind, (11) saying, “God has forsaken him; chase him and catch him, for no one will save him!” (12) O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my aid! (13) Let my accusers perish in frustration; let those who seek my ruin be clothed in reproach and disgrace! (14) As for me, I will hope always, and add to the many praises of You. (15) My mouth tells of Your beneficence, of Your deliverance all day long, though I know not how to tell it. (16) I come with praise of Your mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I celebrate Your beneficence, Yours alone. (17) You have let me experience it, God, from my youth; until now I have proclaimed Your wondrous deeds, (18) and even in hoary old age do not forsake me, God, until I proclaim Your strength to the next generation, Your mighty acts, to all who are to come, (19) Your beneficence, high as the heavens, O God, You who have done great things; O God, who is Your peer! (20) You who have made me undergo many troubles and misfortunes will revive me again, and raise me up from the depths of the earth. (21) You will grant me much greatness, You will turn and comfort me. (22) Then I will acclaim You to the music of the lyre for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing a hymn to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel. (23) My lips shall be jubilant, as I sing a hymn to You, my whole being, which You have redeemed. (24) All day long my tongue shall recite Your beneficent acts, how those who sought my ruin were frustrated and disgraced.

(1) For the leader; on the gittith. Of the Korahites. A psalm. (2) How lovely is Your dwelling-place, O LORD of hosts. (3) I long, I yearn for the courts of the LORD; my body and soul shout for joy to the living God. (4) Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself in which to set her young, near Your altar, O LORD of hosts, my king and my God. (5) Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they forever praise You.Selah. (6) Happy is the man who finds refuge in You, whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways. (7) They pass through the Valley of Baca, regarding it as a place of springs, as if the early rain had covered it with blessing. (8) They go from rampart to rampart, appearing before God in Zion. (9) O LORD, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.Selah. (10) O God, behold our shield, look upon the face of Your anointed. (11) Better one day in Your courts than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather stand at the threshold of God’s house than dwell in the tents of the wicked. (12) For the LORD God is sun and shield; the LORD bestows grace and glory; He does not withhold His bounty from those who live without blame. (13) O LORD of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

(1) The LORD is king, He is robed in grandeur; the LORD is robed, He is girded with strength. The world stands firm; it cannot be shaken. (2) Your throne stands firm from of old; from eternity You have existed. (3) The ocean sounds, O LORD, the ocean sounds its thunder, the ocean sounds its pounding. (4) Above the thunder of the mighty waters, more majestic than the breakers of the sea is the LORD, majestic on high. (5) Your decrees are indeed enduring; holiness befits Your house, O LORD, for all times.

(1) Come, let us sing joyously to the LORD, raise a shout for our rock and deliverer; (2) let us come into His presence with praise; let us raise a shout for Him in song! (3) For the LORD is a great God, the great king of all divine beings. (4) In His hand are the depths of the earth; the peaks of the mountains are His. (5) His is the sea, He made it; and the land, which His hands fashioned. (6) Come, let us bow down and kneel, bend the knee before the LORD our maker, (7) for He is our God, and we are the people He tends, the flock in His care. O, if you would but heed His charge this day: (8) Do not be stubborn as at Meribah, as on the day of Massah, in the wilderness, (9) when your fathers put Me to the test, tried Me, though they had seen My deeds. (10) Forty years I was provoked by that generation; I thought, “They are a senseless people; they would not know My ways.” (11) Concerning them I swore in anger, “They shall never come to My resting-place!”

(1) A prayer of the lowly man when he is faint and pours forth his plea before the LORD. (2) O LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry come before You. (3) Do not hide Your face from me in my time of trouble; turn Your ear to me; when I cry, answer me speedily. (4) For my days have vanished like smoke and my bones are charred like a hearth. (5) My body is stricken and withered like grass; too wasted to eat my food; (6) on account of my vehement groaning my bones show through my skin. (7) I am like a great owl in the wilderness, an owl among the ruins. (8) I lie awake; I am like a lone bird upon a roof. (9) All day long my enemies revile me; my deriders use my name to curse. (10) For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears, (11) because of Your wrath and Your fury; for You have cast me far away. (12) My days are like a lengthening shadow; I wither like grass. (13) But You, O LORD, are enthroned forever; Your fame endures throughout the ages. (14) You will surely arise and take pity on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come. (15) Your servants take delight in its stones, and cherish its dust. (16) The nations will fear the name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth, Your glory. (17) For the LORD has built Zion; He has appeared in all His glory. (18) He has turned to the prayer of the destitute and has not spurned their prayer. (19) May this be written down for a coming generation, that people yet to be created may praise the LORD. (20) For He looks down from His holy height; the LORD beholds the earth from heaven (21) to hear the groans of the prisoner, to release those condemned to death; (22) that the fame of the LORD may be recounted in Zion, His praises in Jerusalem, (23) when the nations gather together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. (24) He drained my strength in mid-course, He shortened my days. (25) I say, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, You whose years go on for generations on end. (26) Of old You established the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands. (27) They shall perish, but You shall endure; they shall all wear out like a garment; You change them like clothing and they pass away. (28) But You are the same, and Your years never end. (29) May the children of Your servants dwell securely and their offspring endure in Your presence.”

(1) Bless the LORD, O my soul; O LORD, my God, You are very great; You are clothed in glory and majesty, (2) wrapped in a robe of light; You spread the heavens like a tent cloth. (3) He sets the rafters of His lofts in the waters, makes the clouds His chariot, moves on the wings of the wind. (4) He makes the winds His messengers, fiery flames His servants. (5) He established the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never totter. (6) You made the deep cover it as a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. (7) They fled at Your blast, rushed away at the sound of Your thunder, (8) —mountains rising, valleys sinking— to the place You established for them. (9) You set bounds they must not pass so that they never again cover the earth. (10) You make springs gush forth in torrents; they make their way between the hills, (11) giving drink to all the wild beasts; the wild asses slake their thirst. (12) The birds of the sky dwell beside them and sing among the foliage. (13) You water the mountains from Your lofts; the earth is sated from the fruit of Your work. (14) You make the grass grow for the cattle, and herbage for man’s labor that he may get food out of the earth— (15) wine that cheers the hearts of men oil that makes the face shine, and bread that sustains man’s life. (16) The trees of the LORD drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, His own planting, (17) where birds make their nests; the stork has her home in the junipers. (18) The high mountains are for wild goats; the crags are a refuge for rock-badgers. (19) He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set. (20) You bring on darkness and it is night, when all the beasts of the forests stir. (21) The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. (22) When the sun rises, they come home and couch in their dens. (23) Man then goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening. (24) How many are the things You have made, O LORD; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your creations. (25) There is the sea, vast and wide, with its creatures beyond number, living things, small and great. (26) There go the ships, and Leviathan that You formed to sport with. (27) All of them look to You to give them their food when it is due. (28) Give it to them, they gather it up; open Your hand, they are well satisfied; (29) hide Your face, they are terrified; take away their breath, they perish and turn again into dust; (30) send back Your breath, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth. (31) May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works! (32) He looks at the earth and it trembles; He touches the mountains and they smoke. (33) I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; all my life I will chant hymns to my God. (34) May my prayer be pleasing to Him; I will rejoice in the LORD. (35) May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah.

(1) “Praise the LORD, for He is good; His steadfast love is eternal!” (2) Thus let the redeemed of the LORD say, those He redeemed from adversity, (3) whom He gathered in from the lands, from east and west, from the north and from the sea. (4) Some lost their way in the wilderness, in the wasteland; they found no settled place. (5) Hungry and thirsty, their spirit failed. (6) In their adversity they cried to the LORD, and He rescued them from their troubles. (7) He showed them a direct way to reach a settled place. (8) Let them praise the LORD for His steadfast love, His wondrous deeds for mankind; (9) for He has satisfied the thirsty, filled the hungry with all good things. (10) Some lived in deepest darkness, bound in cruel irons, (11) because they defied the word of God, spurned the counsel of the Most High. (12) He humbled their hearts through suffering; they stumbled with no one to help. (13) In their adversity they cried to the LORD, and He rescued them from their troubles. (14) He brought them out of deepest darkness, broke their bonds asunder. (15) Let them praise the LORD for His steadfast love, His wondrous deeds for mankind, (16) For He shattered gates of bronze, He broke their iron bars. (17) There were fools who suffered for their sinful way, and for their iniquities. (18) All food was loathsome to them; they reached the gates of death. (19) In their adversity they cried to the LORD and He saved them from their troubles. (20) He gave an order and healed them; He delivered them from the pits. (21) Let them praise the LORD for His steadfast love, His wondrous deeds for mankind. (22) Let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices, and tell His deeds in joyful song. (23) Others go down to the sea in ships, ply their trade in the mighty waters; (24) they have seen the works of the LORD and His wonders in the deep. (25) By His word He raised a storm wind that made the waves surge. (26) Mounting up to the heaven, plunging down to the depths, disgorging in their misery, (27) they reeled and staggered like a drunken man, all their skill to no avail. (28) In their adversity they cried to the LORD, and He saved them from their troubles. (29) He reduced the storm to a whisper; the waves were stilled. (30) They rejoiced when all was quiet, and He brought them to the port they desired. (31) Let them praise the LORD for His steadfast love, His wondrous deeds for mankind. (32) Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people, acclaim Him in the assembly of the elders. (33) He turns the rivers into a wilderness, springs of water into thirsty land, (34) fruitful land into a salt marsh, because of the wickedness of its inhabitants. (35) He turns the wilderness into pools, parched land into springs of water. (36) There He settles the hungry; they build a place to settle in. (37) They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest. (38) He blesses them and they increase greatly; and He does not let their cattle decrease, (39) after they had been few and crushed by oppression, misery, and sorrow. (40) He pours contempt on great men and makes them lose their way in trackless deserts; (41) but the needy He secures from suffering, and increases their families like flocks. (42) The upright see it and rejoice; the mouth of all wrongdoers is stopped. (43) The wise man will take note of these things; he will consider the steadfast love of the LORD.

(1) Hallelujah. O servants of the LORD, give praise; praise the name of the LORD. (2) Let the name of the LORD be blessed now and forever. (3) From east to west the name of the LORD is praised. (4) The LORD is exalted above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. (5) Who is like the LORD our God, who, enthroned on high, (6) sees what is below, in heaven and on earth? (7) He raises the poor from the dust, lifts up the needy from the refuse heap (8) to set them with the great, with the great men of His people. (9) He sets the childless woman among her household as a happy mother of children. Hallelujah.

(1) Praise the LORD, for He is good, His steadfast love is eternal. (2) Let Israel declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.” (3) Let the house of Aaron declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.” (4) Let those who fear the LORD declare, “His steadfast love is eternal.” (5) In distress I called on the LORD; the Lord answered me and brought me relief. (6) The LORD is on my side, I have no fear; what can man do to me? (7) With the LORD on my side as my helper, I will see the downfall of my foes. (8) It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in mortals; (9) it is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in the great. (10) All nations have beset me; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down. (11) They beset me, they surround me; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down. (12) They have beset me like bees; they shall be extinguished like burning thorns; by the name of the LORD I will surely cut them down. (13) You pressed me hard, I nearly fell; but the LORD helped me. (14) The LORD is my strength and might; He has become my deliverance. (15) The tents of the victorious resound with joyous shouts of deliverance, “The right hand of the LORD is triumphant! (16) The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD is triumphant!” (17) I shall not die but live and proclaim the works of the LORD. (18) The LORD punished me severely, but did not hand me over to death. (19) Open the gates of victory for me that I may enter them and praise the LORD. (20) This is the gateway to the LORD— the victorious shall enter through it. (21) I praise You, for You have answered me, and have become my deliverance. (22) The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. (23) This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvelous in our sight. (24) This is the day that the LORD has made— let us exult and rejoice on it. (25) O LORD, deliver us! O LORD, let us prosper! (26) May he who enters be blessed in the name of the LORD; we bless you from the House of the LORD. (27) The LORD is God; He has given us light; bind the festal offering to the horns of the altar with cords. (28) You are my God and I will praise You; You are my God and I will extol You. (29) Praise the LORD for He is good, His steadfast love is eternal.

(1) A song for ascents. I turn my eyes to the mountains; from where will my help come? (2) My help comes from the LORD, maker of heaven and earth. (3) He will not let your foot give way; your guardian will not slumber; (4) See, the guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps! (5) The LORD is your guardian, the LORD is your protection at your right hand. (6) By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon by night. (7) The LORD will guard you from all harm; He will guard your life. (8) The LORD will guard your going and coming now and forever.

(א) שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת אֵ֭לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֣אתִי אֶת־עֵינַ֑י הַ֝יֹּשְׁבִ֗י בַּשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ (ב) הִנֵּ֨ה כְעֵינֵ֪י עֲבָדִ֡ים אֶל־יַ֤ד אֲ‍ֽדוֹנֵיהֶ֗ם כְּעֵינֵ֣י שִׁפְחָה֮ אֶל־יַ֪ד גְּבִ֫רְתָּ֥הּ כֵּ֣ן עֵ֭ינֵינוּ אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ עַ֝֗ד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ׃ (ג) חָנֵּ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נוּ כִּֽי־רַ֝֗ב שָׂבַ֥עְנוּ בֽוּז׃ (ד) רַבַּת֮ שָֽׂבְעָה־לָּ֪הּ נַ֫פְשֵׁ֥נוּ הַלַּ֥עַג הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּ֑ים הַ֝בּ֗וּז לִגְאֵ֥יוֹנִֽים׃
(1) A song of ascents. To You, enthroned in heaven, I turn my eyes. (2) As the eyes of slaves follow their master’s hand, as the eyes of a slave-girl follow the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are toward the LORD our God, awaiting His favor. (3) Show us favor, O LORD, show us favor! We have had more than enough of contempt. (4) Long enough have we endured the scorn of the complacent, the contempt of the haughty.

Psalm 126

(א) שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת בְּשׁ֣וּב יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שִׁיבַ֣ת צִיּ֑וֹן הָ֝יִ֗ינוּ כְּחֹלְמִֽים׃ (ב) אָ֤ז יִמָּלֵ֪א שְׂח֡וֹק פִּינוּ֮ וּלְשׁוֹנֵ֪נוּ רִ֫נָּ֥ה אָ֭ז יֹאמְר֣וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם הִגְדִּ֥יל יְ֝הוָ֗ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃ (ג) הִגְדִּ֣יל יְ֭הוָה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִמָּ֗נוּ הָיִ֥ינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים׃ (ד) שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־שבותנו [שְׁבִיתֵ֑נוּ] כַּאֲפִיקִ֥ים בַּנֶּֽגֶב׃ (ה) הַזֹּרְעִ֥ים בְּדִמְעָ֗ה בְּרִנָּ֥ה יִקְצֹֽרוּ׃ (ו) הָ֘ל֤וֹךְ יֵלֵ֨ךְ ׀ וּבָכֹה֮ נֹשֵׂ֪א מֶֽשֶׁךְ־הַ֫זָּ֥רַע בֹּֽ֬א־יָב֥וֹא בְרִנָּ֑ה נֹ֝שֵׂ֗א אֲלֻמֹּתָֽיו׃
(1) A song of ascents. When the LORD restores the fortunes of Zion —we see it as in a dream— (2) our mouths shall be filled with laughter, our tongues, with songs of joy. Then shall they say among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them!” (3) The LORD will do great things for us and we shall rejoice. (4) Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like watercourses in the Negeb. (5) They who sow in tears shall reap with songs of joy. (6) Though he goes along weeping, carrying the seed-bag, he shall come back with songs of joy, carrying his sheaves.

Shir Hamaalot as Zionist National Anthem
The first competition for the national anthem was announced in Die Welt, a German newspaper, in 1898. Another competition was called for by the Fourth Zionist Congress in the year 1900, but no song was officially chosen. In 1901, one of the sessions of the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland, ended with the singing of Hatikva (still called Tikvatenu). It wasn't until 1905 that the entire Hatikva was sung by all the delegates present at the Seventh Zionist Congress. It can be said that Hatikva was then unofficially adopted as the Zionist anthem.
One of the other considerations for the Zionist National Anthem was Shir HaMa'alot (The Song of Ascents) as sung by the famous cantor Yossele Rosenblatt. Shir Ha-Ma'alot is sung as a prelude to the Grace After Meals on Sabbaths and holidays and the tune often used is the one composed by Yossle Rosenblatt.
In 1979, when Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin signed a peace treaty with Egypt on the White House lawn, he read aloud the complete Shir Ha-Maalot in 3 Hebrew.
Imber died in 1909 in New York and his remains were re-interred at the Mt. Herzl cemetery in Jerusalem in 1953.

(1) A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call You, O LORD. (2) O Lord, listen to my cry; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy. (3) If You keep account of sins, O LORD, Lord, who will survive? (4) Yours is the power to forgive so that You may be held in awe. (5) I look to the LORD; I look to Him; I await His word. (6) I am more eager for the Lord than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning. (7) O Israel, wait for the LORD; for with the LORD is steadfast love and great power to redeem. (8) It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

(3) O Israel, wait for the LORD now and forever.

(5) If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither; (6) let my tongue stick to my palate if I cease to think of you, if I do not keep Jerusalem in memory even at my happiest hour. (7) Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem’s fall; how they cried, “Strip her, strip her to her very foundations!” (8) Fair Babylon, you predator, a blessing on him who repays you in kind what you have inflicted on us; (9) a blessing on him who seizes your babies and dashes them against the rocks!

(1) For the leader. Of David. A psalm. O LORD, You have examined me and know me. (2) When I sit down or stand up You know it; You discern my thoughts from afar. (3) You observe my walking and reclining, and are familiar with all my ways. (4) There is not a word on my tongue but that You, O LORD, know it well. (5) You hedge me before and behind; You lay Your hand upon me. (6) It is beyond my knowledge; it is a mystery; I cannot fathom it. (7) Where can I escape from Your spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? (8) If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I descend to Sheol, You are there too. (9) If I take wing with the dawn to come to rest on the western horizon, (10) even there Your hand will be guiding me, Your right hand will be holding me fast. (11) If I say, “Surely darkness will conceal me, night will provide me with cover,” (12) darkness is not dark for You; night is as light as day; darkness and light are the same. (13) It was You who created my conscience; You fashioned me in my mother’s womb. (14) I praise You, for I am awesomely, wondrously made; Your work is wonderful; I know it very well. (15) My frame was not concealed from You when I was shaped in a hidden place, knit together in the recesses of the earth. (16) Your eyes saw my unformed limbs; they were all recorded in Your book; in due time they were formed, to the very last one of them. (17) How weighty Your thoughts seem to me, O God, how great their number! (18) I count them—they exceed the grains of sand; I end—but am still with You. (19) O God, if You would only slay the wicked— you murderers, away from me!— (20) who invoke You for intrigue, Your enemies who swear by You falsely. (21) O LORD, You know I hate those who hate You, and loathe Your adversaries. (22) I feel a perfect hatred toward them; I count them my enemies. (23) Examine me, O God, and know my mind; probe me and know my thoughts. (24) See if I have vexatious ways, and guide me in ways everlasting.


שמעתי שדוד הנעים

אקורד פלאים לאלוהים

ושאתה שונא תווים ידוע.

אקורד עגום ומסתורי,

מינור נופל, מז'ור ממריא

ומלך מבולבל שר הללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

בזמן תפילה להוכחה

אשה טבלה על גג מולך

יפה וירחית עד זעזוע.

והיא שברה את כתרך

והיא גזרה את שיערך

ושם קשור זמרת הללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

לפני שבאת נורא מזמן

חייתי כאן, ישנתי כאן

הייתי כאן בודד ולא נגוע.

עכשיו גדודיך במקדש

אך אהבה איננה מרש

רק שיר שבור וקר של הללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

אני זוכר, לפני שנים,

לחשת לי מה קורה בפנים,

אבל עכשיו המעבר מנוע.

ואיך הייתי פעם נע

בתוך תוכך עם היונה,

ואיך נשמנו יחד הללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

וגם אם דבר האל צדק,

האהבה עזרה לי רק

לשלוף לפני כל אקדוחן פרוע.

לא שיר תלונה אני לך שר,

לא שיר צליין קדוש מואר,

רק שיר שבור וקר של הללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

אולי נשאתי שם לשווא

אני לא ממש זוכר עכשיו

האם זה משנה לך, מדוע?

לכל מילה ושם יש אור

ולא חשוב אם המזמור

הוא שבר או שלמות של הללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

כל השליחים שלי חזרו

ליבי שתק, ידיי דיברו

דבריי היו אמת, לא תעתוע.

וגם אם השתבש הכל

מול אלוהי השיר אפול

ועל שפתיי רק שיר ההללויה.

הללויה, הללויה

הללויה, הללויה

I heard that David made pleasant

A wondrous chord for God

And that you hate musical notes, that's well known.

A forlorn and mysterious chord

A minor fall, a major lift

And a confused king singing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

At the time of prayer, by way of proof

A woman bathed upon Molech's roof

Beautiful and lunar, shockingly so.

And she broke your crown

And she cut your hair

And there, tied up, you sang out Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Before you came, a terribly long time ago

I lived here, I slept here

I was here alone and untouched.

Now your battalion is in my holy Temple

But love is not a [victory] march

Just a broken and cold song of Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I remember, years ago,

You whispered to me what was happening inside,

But now passage there is impossible.

And how mobile I was, once upon a time

Deep within you, with the dove

And how we breathed together Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And even if God's word was right,

Love only helped me

To draw my weapon out of every unkempt holster,

Not a song of complaint I sing to you,

Not a song of a holy enlightened pilgrim

Just a broken and cold song of Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Perhaps I used the name in vain

I don't really remember now

Why, does it really matter to you?

For every word and name there's a light

And it's not important if a psalm

Is a broken piece or perfection of Hallalujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

All my messengers returned

My heard fell silent, my hands spoke

What I said was true, not a delusion.

And even if everything got mixed up

I will fall down before the God of song

And on my lips just a song of Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

(1) Hallelujah. It is good to chant hymns to our God; it is pleasant to sing glorious praise. (2) The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers in the exiles of Israel. (3) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds. (4) He reckoned the number of the stars; to each He gave its name. (5) Great is our Lord and full of power; His wisdom is beyond reckoning. (6) The LORD gives courage to the lowly, and brings the wicked down to the dust. (7) Sing to the LORD a song of praise, chant a hymn with a lyre to our God, (8) who covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, makes mountains put forth grass; (9) who gives the beasts their food, to the raven’s brood what they cry for. (10) He does not prize the strength of horses, nor value the fleetness of men; (11) but the LORD values those who fear Him, those who depend on His faithful care. (12) O Jerusalem, glorify the LORD; praise your God, O Zion! (13) For He made the bars of your gates strong, and blessed your children within you. (14) He endows your realm with well-being, and satisfies you with choice wheat. (15) He sends forth His word to the earth; His command runs swiftly. (16) He lays down snow like fleece, scatters frost like ashes. (17) He tosses down hail like crumbs— who can endure His icy cold? (18) He issues a command—it melts them; He breathes—the waters flow. (19) He issued His commands to Jacob, His statutes and rules to Israel. (20) He did not do so for any other nation; of such rules they know nothing. Hallelujah.

(א) הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽלְלוּ־אֵ֥ל בְּקָדְשׁ֑וֹ הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בִּרְקִ֥יעַ עֻזּֽוֹ׃ (ב) הַֽלְל֥וּהוּ בִגְבוּרֹתָ֑יו הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ כְּרֹ֣ב גֻּדְלֽוֹ׃ (ג) הַֽ֭לְלוּהוּ בְּתֵ֣קַע שׁוֹפָ֑ר הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בְּנֵ֣בֶל וְכִנּֽוֹר׃ (ד) הַֽ֭לְלוּהוּ בְתֹ֣ף וּמָח֑וֹל הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בְּמִנִּ֥ים וְעוּגָֽב׃ (ה) הַֽלְל֥וּהוּ בְצִלְצְלֵי־שָׁ֑מַע הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בְּֽצִלְצְלֵ֥י תְרוּעָֽה׃ (ו) כֹּ֣ל הַ֭נְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּ֥ל יָ֗הּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

(1) Hallelujah. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the sky, His stronghold. (2) Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him for His exceeding greatness. (3) Praise Him with blasts of the horn; praise Him with harp and lyre. (4) Praise Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with lute and pipe. (5) Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud-clashing cymbals. (6) Let all that breathes praise the LORD. Hallelujah.
