Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָ֫וִ֥ד בַּֽיהוָ֨ה ׀ חָסִ֗יתִי אֵ֭יךְ תֹּאמְר֣וּ לְנַפְשִׁ֑י נודו [נ֝֗וּדִי] הַרְכֶ֥ם צִפּֽוֹר׃
lamnatzeach ledavid baADONAI chasiti ekh tomru lenafshi nudi harkhem tzippor
For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD have I taken refuge; how say ye to my soul: 'Flee thou! to your mountain, ye birds'?
2כִּ֤י הִנֵּ֪ה הָרְשָׁעִ֡ים יִדְרְכ֬וּן קֶ֗שֶׁת כּוֹנְנ֣וּ חִצָּ֣ם עַל־יֶ֑תֶר לִיר֥וֹת בְּמוֹ־אֹ֝֗פֶל לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
ki hinne harsha'im yidrekhun keshet konnu chitzam al-yeter lirot bemo-ofel leyishre-lev
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have made ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3כִּ֣י הַ֭שָּׁתוֹת יֵֽהָרֵס֑וּן צַ֝דִּ֗יק מַה־פָּעָֽל׃
ki hashatot yeharesun tzaddik ma-pa'al
When the foundations are destroyed, what hath the righteous wrought?
4יְהוָ֤ה ׀ בְּֽהֵ֘יכַ֤ל קָדְשׁ֗וֹ יְהוָה֮ בַּשָּׁמַ֪יִם כִּ֫סְא֥וֹ עֵינָ֥יו יֶחֱז֑וּ עַפְעַפָּ֥יו יִ֝בְחֲנ֗וּ בְּנֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃
ADONAI behekhal kadsho ADONAI bashamayim kiso enav yechezu af'appav yivchanu bene adam
The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD, His throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.
5יְהוָה֮ צַדִּ֪יק יִ֫בְחָ֥ן וְ֭רָשָׁע וְאֹהֵ֣ב חָמָ֑ס שָֽׂנְאָ֥ה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
ADONAI tzaddik yivchan verasha' ve'ohev chamas san'a nafsho
The LORD trieth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.
6יַמְטֵ֥ר עַל־רְשָׁעִ֗ים פַּ֫חִ֥ים אֵ֣שׁ וְ֭גָפְרִית וְר֥וּחַ זִלְעָפ֗וֹת מְנָ֣ת כּוֹסָֽם׃
yamter al-resha'im pachim esh vegafrit veruach zil'afot menat kosam
Upon the wicked He will cause to rain coals; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7כִּֽי־צַדִּ֣יק יְ֭הוָה צְדָק֣וֹת אָהֵ֑ב יָ֝שָׁ֗ר יֶחֱז֥וּ פָנֵֽימוֹ׃
ki-tzaddik ADONAI tzedakot ahev yashar yechezu fanemo
For the LORD is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.
