hodu laADONAI ki-tov ki le'olam chasdo
'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, For His mercy endureth for ever.'
2יֹ֭אמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר גְּ֝אָלָ֗ם מִיַּד־צָֽר׃
yomru geule ADONAI asher ge'alam miyyad-tzar
So let the redeemed of the LORD say, Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
3וּֽמֵאֲרָצ֗וֹת קִ֫בְּצָ֥ם מִמִּזְרָ֥ח וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב מִצָּפ֥וֹן וּמִיָּֽם׃
ume'aratzot kibbetzam mimmizrach umimma'arav mitzafon umiyyam
And gathered them out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the sea.
4תָּע֣וּ בַ֭מִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימ֣וֹן דָּ֑רֶךְ עִ֥יר מ֝וֹשָׁ֗ב לֹ֣א מָצָֽאוּ׃
ta'u vammidbar bishimon darekh ir moshav lo matzau
They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.
5רְעֵבִ֥ים גַּם־צְמֵאִ֑ים נַ֝פְשָׁ֗ם בָּהֶ֥ם תִּתְעַטָּֽף׃
re'evim gam-tzeme'im nafsham bahem tit'attaf
Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
6וַיִּצְעֲק֣וּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם מִ֝מְּצֽוּקוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם יַצִּילֵֽם׃
vayyitz'aku el-ADONAI batzar lahem mimmetzukotehem yatzilem
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7וַ֭יַּֽדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ יְשָׁרָ֑ה לָ֝לֶ֗כֶת אֶל־עִ֥יר מוֹשָֽׁב׃
vayyadrikhem bederekh yeshara lalekhet el-ir moshav
And He led them by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
8יוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְ֝נִפְלְאוֹתָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃

ki-hisbia nefesh shokeka venefesh re'eva mille-tov
For He hath satisfied the longing soul, And the hungry soul He hath filled with good.
10יֹ֭שְׁבֵי חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָ֑וֶת אֲסִירֵ֖י עֳנִ֣י וּבַרְזֶֽל׃

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron—

ki-himru imre-el va'atzat elyon na'atzu
Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High.

Therefore He humbled their heart with travail, They stumbled, and there was none to help—

For He hath broken the gates of brass, And cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Crazed because of the way of their transgression, And afflicted because of their iniquities—

vayyomer vayya'amed ruach se'ara vatteromem gallav
For He commanded, and raised the stormy wind, Which lifted up the waves thereof;
26יַעֲל֣וּ שָׁ֭מַיִם יֵרְד֣וּ תְהוֹמ֑וֹת נַ֝פְשָׁ֗ם בְּרָעָ֥ה תִתְמוֹגָֽג׃
ya'alu shamayim yerdu tehomot nafsham bera'a titmogag
They mounted up to the heaven, they went down to the deeps; Their soul melted away because of trouble;
27יָח֣וֹגּוּ וְ֭יָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכּ֑וֹר וְכָל־חָ֝כְמָתָ֗ם תִּתְבַּלָּֽע׃
yachoggu veyanu'u kashikkor vekhal-chakhmatam titballa'
