Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917

1הַֽלְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

hallu yah hodu laADONAI ki-tov ki le'olam chasdo

Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

2מִ֗י יְ֭מַלֵּל גְּבוּר֣וֹת יְהוָ֑ה יַ֝שְׁמִ֗יעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

mi yemallel gevurot ADONAI yashmia kal-tehillato

Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?

3אַ֭שְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵ֣י מִשְׁפָּ֑ט עֹשֵׂ֖ה צְדָקָ֣ה בְכָל־עֵֽת׃

ashre shomre mishpat ose tzedaka vekhal-et

Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.

4זָכְרֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה בִּרְצ֣וֹן עַמֶּ֑ךָ פָּ֝קְדֵ֗נִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

zakhreni ADONAI birtzon ammekha pakdeni bishu'atekha

Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;

5לִרְא֤וֹת ׀ בְּט֘וֹבַ֤ת בְּחִירֶ֗יךָ לִ֭שְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַ֣ת גּוֹיֶ֑ךָ לְ֝הִתְהַלֵּ֗ל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃

lirot betovat bechirekha lismoach besimchat goyekha lehithallel im-nachalatekha

That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.

6חָטָ֥אנוּ עִם־אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ הֶעֱוִ֥ינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃

chatanu im-avotenu he'evinu hirsha'nu

We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

7אֲב֘וֹתֵ֤ינוּ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם ׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּ֬ילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א זָ֭כְרוּ אֶת־רֹ֣ב חֲסָדֶ֑יךָ וַיַּמְר֖וּ עַל־יָ֣ם בְּיַם־סֽוּף׃

avotenu vemitzrayim lo-hiskilu nifleotekha lo zakhru et-rov chasadekha vayyamru al-yam beyam-suf

Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

8וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמ֑וֹ לְ֝הוֹדִ֗יעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֽוֹ׃

vayyoshi'em lema'an shemo lehodia et-gevurato

Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

9וַיִּגְעַ֣ר בְּיַם־ס֭וּף וַֽיֶּחֱרָ֑ב וַיּוֹלִיכֵ֥ם בַּ֝תְּהֹמ֗וֹת כַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

vayyig'ar beyam-suf vayyecherav vayyolikhem battehomot kammidbar

And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

10וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּ֣ד שׂוֹנֵ֑א וַ֝יִּגְאָלֵ֗ם מִיַּ֥ד אוֹיֵֽב׃

vayyoshi'em miyyad sone vayyig'alem miyyad oyev

And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11וַיְכַסּוּ־מַ֥יִם צָרֵיהֶ֑ם אֶחָ֥ד מֵ֝הֶ֗ם לֹ֣א נוֹתָֽר׃

vaykhassu-mayim tzarehem echad mehem lo notar

And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

12וַיַּאֲמִ֥ינוּ בִדְבָרָ֑יו יָ֝שִׁ֗ירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

vayya'aminu vidvarav yashiru tehillato

Then believed they His words; They sang His praise.

13מִֽ֭הֲרוּ שָׁכְח֣וּ מַעֲשָׂ֑יו לֹֽא־חִ֝כּ֗וּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹ׃

miharu shakhchu ma'asav lo-chikku la'atzato

They soon forgot His works; They waited not for His counsel;

14וַיִּתְאַוּ֣וּ תַ֭אֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵ֝֗ל בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן׃

vayyit'avvu ta'ava bammidbar vaynassu-el bishimon

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tried God in the desert.

15וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָ֑ם וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח רָז֣וֹן בְּנַפְשָֽׁם׃

vayyitten lahem she'elatam vayshallach razon benafsham

And He gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul.

16וַיְקַנְא֣וּ לְ֭מֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה לְ֝אַהֲרֹ֗ן קְד֣וֹשׁ יְהוָֽה׃

vaykanu lemoshe bammachane le'aharon kedosh ADONAI

They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.

17תִּפְתַּח־אֶ֭רֶץ וַתִּבְלַ֣ע דָּתָ֑ן וַ֝תְּכַ֗ס עַל־עֲדַ֥ת אֲבִירָֽם׃

tiftach-eretz vattivla' datan vattekhas al-adat aviram

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

18וַתִּבְעַר־אֵ֥שׁ בַּעֲדָתָ֑ם לֶ֝הָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט רְשָׁעִֽים׃

vattiv'ar-esh ba'adatam lehava telahet resha'im

And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

19יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵ֥גֶל בְּחֹרֵ֑ב וַ֝יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֗וּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה׃

ya'asu-egel bechorev vayyishtachavu lemassekha

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

20וַיָּמִ֥ירוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדָ֑ם בְּתַבְנִ֥ית שׁ֝֗וֹר אֹכֵ֥ל עֵֽשֶׂב׃

vayyamiru et-kevodam betavnit shor okhel esev

Thus they exchanged their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

21שָׁ֭כְחוּ אֵ֣ל מוֹשִׁיעָ֑ם עֹשֶׂ֖ה גְדֹל֣וֹת בְּמִצְרָֽיִם׃

shakhchu el moshi'am ose gedolot bemitzrayim

They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt;

22נִ֭פְלָאוֹת בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָ֑ם נ֝וֹרָא֗וֹת עַל־יַם־סֽוּף׃

niflaot be'eretz cham noraot al-yam-suf

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

23וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִ֫ידָ֥ם לוּלֵ֡י מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה בְחִיר֗וֹ עָמַ֣ד בַּפֶּ֣רֶץ לְפָנָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֥יב חֲ֝מָת֗וֹ מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית׃

vayyomer lehashmidam lule moshe vechiro amad bapperetz lefanav lehashiv chamato mehashchit

Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, To turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

24וַֽ֭יִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֶמְדָּ֑ה לֹֽא־הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ לִדְבָרֽוֹ׃

vayyim'asu be'eretz chemda lo-he'eminu lidvaro

Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, They believed not His word;

25וַיֵּרָגְנ֥וּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָֽה׃

vayyeragnu ve'aholehem lo sham'u bekol ADONAI

And they murmured in their tents, They hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

26וַיִּשָּׂ֣א יָד֣וֹ לָהֶ֑ם לְהַפִּ֥יל א֝וֹתָ֗ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

vayyissa yado lahem lehappil otam bammidbar

Therefore He swore concerning them, That He would overthrow them in the wilderness;

27וּלְהַפִּ֣יל זַ֭רְעָם בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְזָרוֹתָ֗ם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת׃

ulehappil zar'am baggoyim ulezarotam ba'aratzot

And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

28וַ֭יִּצָּ֣מְדוּ לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַ֝יֹּאכְל֗וּ זִבְחֵ֥י מֵתִֽים׃

vayyitzamdu leva'al pe'or vayyokhlu zivche metim

They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29וַ֭יַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּ֝֗ם מַגֵּפָֽה׃

vayyakh'isu bema'allehem vattifratz-bam maggefa

Thus they provoked Him with their doings, And the plague broke in upon them.

30וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד פִּֽ֭ינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּ֑ל וַ֝תֵּעָצַ֗ר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה׃

vayya'amod pinchas vayfallel vatte'atzar hammaggefa

Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, And so the plague was stayed.

31וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב ל֭וֹ לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

vattechashev lo litzdaka ledor vador ad-olam

And that was counted unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for ever.

32וַ֭יַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥רַע לְ֝מֹשֶׁ֗ה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם׃

vayyaktzifu al-me meriva vayyera' lemoshe ba'avuram

They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, And it went ill with Moses because of them;

33כִּֽי־הִמְר֥וּ אֶת־רוּח֑וֹ וַ֝יְבַטֵּ֗א בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו׃

ki-himru et-rucho vayvatte bisfatav

For they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.

34לֹֽא־הִ֭שְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָֽעַמִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה לָהֶֽם׃

lo-hishmidu et-ha'ammim asher amar ADONAI lahem

They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them;

35וַיִּתְעָרְב֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽ֝יִּלְמְד֗וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃

vayyit'arvu vaggoyim vayyilmedu ma'asehem

But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works;

36וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּהְי֖וּ לָהֶ֣ם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃

vayya'avdu et-atzabbehem vayyihyu lahem lemokesh

And they served their idols, Which became a snare unto them;

37וַיִּזְבְּח֣וּ אֶת־בְּ֭נֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לַשֵּֽׁדִים׃

vayyizbechu et-benehem ve'et-benotehem lashedim

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

38וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכ֨וּ דָ֪ם נָקִ֡י דַּם־בְּנֵ֘יהֶ֤ם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר זִ֭בְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּ֣י כְנָ֑עַן וַתֶּחֱנַ֥ף הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃

vayyishpekhu dam naki dam-benehem uvenotehem asher zibbechu la'atzabbe khena'an vattechenaf ha'aretz baddamim

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

39וַיִּטְמְא֥וּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּזְנוּ֗ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃

vayyitmeu vema'asehem vayyiznu bema'allehem

Thus were they defiled with their works, And went astray in their doings.

40וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמּ֑וֹ וַ֝יְתָעֵ֗ב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃

vayyichar-af ADONAI be'ammo vayta'ev et-nachalato

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance.

41וַיִּתְּנֵ֥ם בְּיַד־גּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽיִּמְשְׁל֥וּ בָ֝הֶ֗ם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם׃

vayyittenem beyad-goyim vayyimshelu vahem son'ehem

And He gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

42וַיִּלְחָצ֥וּם אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽם׃

vayyilchatzum oyvehem vayyikkan'u tachat yadam

Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand.

43פְּעָמִ֥ים רַבּ֗וֹת יַצִּ֫ילֵ֥ם וְ֭הֵמָּה יַמְר֣וּ בַעֲצָתָ֑ם וַ֝יָּמֹ֗כּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָֽם׃

pe'amim rabbot yatzilem vehemma yamru va'atzatam vayyamokku ba'avonam

Many times did He deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank low through their iniquity.

44וַ֭יַּרְא בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְע֗וֹ אֶת־רִנָּתָֽם׃

vayyar batzar lahem besham'o et-rinnatam

Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, When He heard their cry;

45וַיִּזְכֹּ֣ר לָהֶ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ וַ֝יִּנָּחֵ֗ם כְּרֹ֣ב חסדו [חֲסָדָֽיו]׃

vayyizkor lahem berito vayyinnachem kerov chasadav

And He remembered for them His covenant, And repented according to the multitude of His mercies.

vayyitten otam lerachamim lifne kal-shovehem

He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

47הוֹשִׁיעֵ֨נוּ ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ֮ מִֽן־הַגּ֫וֹיִ֥ם לְ֭הֹדוֹת לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ לְ֝הִשְׁתַּבֵּ֗חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

hoshi'enu ADONAI elohenu vekabbetzenu min-haggoyim lehodot leshem kadshekha lehishtabbeach bithillatekha

Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, That we may triumph in Thy praise.
