לְדָוִד אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא צוּרִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ מִמֶּנִּי פֶּן־תֶּחֱשֶׁה מִמֶּנִּי וְנִמְשַׁלְתִּי עִם־יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר׃

Of David. O ETERNAL One, 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

שְׁמַע קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶיךָ בְּנׇשְׂאִי יָדַי אֶל־דְּבִיר קׇדְשֶׁךָ׃

Listen to my plea for mercy when I cry out to You, when I lift my hands toward Your inner sanctuary.

3

אַל־תִּמְשְׁכֵנִי עִם־רְשָׁעִים וְעִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּבְרֵי שָׁלוֹם עִם־רֵעֵיהֶם וְרָעָה בִּלְבָבָם׃

Do not count me with the wicked and evildoers who profess goodwill toward their fellows while malice is in their heart.

4

תֶּן־לָהֶם כְּפׇעֳלָם וּכְרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם כְּמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם תֵּן לָהֶם הָשֵׁב גְּמוּלָם לָהֶם׃

Pay them according to their deeds, their malicious acts; according to their handiwork pay them, give them their deserts.

5

כִּי לֹא יָבִינוּ אֶל־פְּעֻלֹּת יְהֹוָה וְאֶל־מַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו יֶהֶרְסֵם וְלֹא יִבְנֵם׃

For they do not consider GOD’s deeds, the work of divine hands. May [God] tear them down, never to rebuild them!

6

בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה כִּי־שָׁמַע קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי׃

Blessed is GOD, who listens to my plea for mercy.

7

יְהֹוָה עֻזִּי וּמָגִנִּי בּוֹ בָטַח לִבִּי וְנֶעֱזָרְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹז לִבִּי וּמִשִּׁירִי אֲהוֹדֶנּוּ׃

GOD is my strength and my shield, the One in whom my heart trusts. I was helped, and my heart exulted, so I will give glory with my song.

8

יְהֹוָה עֹז־לָמוֹ וּמָעוֹז יְשׁוּעוֹת מְשִׁיחוֹ הוּא׃

GOD is their strength; and a stronghold for the deliverance of our anointed ruler.

9

הוֹשִׁיעָה אֶת־עַמֶּךָ וּבָרֵךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶךָ וּרְעֵם וְנַשְּׂאֵם עַד־הָעוֹלָם׃ {פ}

Deliver and bless Your very own people; tend them and sustain them forever.
