lamnatzeach mizmor ledavid
For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
2עַד־אָ֣נָה יְ֭הוָה תִּשְׁכָּחֵ֣נִי נֶ֑צַח עַד־אָ֓נָה ׀ תַּסְתִּ֖יר אֶת־פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
ad-ana ADONAI tishkacheni netzach ad-ana tastir et-panekha mimmenni
How long, O LORD, wilt Thou forget me for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?
3עַד־אָ֨נָה אָשִׁ֪ית עֵצ֡וֹת בְּנַפְשִׁ֗י יָג֣וֹן בִּלְבָבִ֣י יוֹמָ֑ם עַד־אָ֓נָה ׀ יָר֖וּם אֹיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי׃
ad-ana ashit etzot benafshi yagon bilvavi yomam ad-ana yarum oyvi alay
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
4הַבִּ֣יטָֽה עֲ֭נֵנִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י הָאִ֥ירָה עֵ֝ינַ֗י פֶּן־אִישַׁ֥ן הַמָּֽוֶת׃
habbita aneni ADONAI elohay ha'ira enay pen-ishan hammavet
Behold Thou, and answer me, O LORD my God; Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
5פֶּן־יֹאמַ֣ר אֹיְבִ֣י יְכָלְתִּ֑יו צָרַ֥י יָ֝גִ֗ילוּ כִּ֣י אֶמּֽוֹט׃
pen-yomar oyvi yekhaltiv tzaray yagilu ki emmot
Lest mine enemy say: 'I have prevailed against him'; Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
6וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ בְּחַסְדְּךָ֣ בָטַחְתִּי֮ יָ֤גֵ֥ל לִבִּ֗י בִּֽישׁוּעָ֫תֶ֥ךָ אָשִׁ֥ירָה לַיהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י גָמַ֣ל עָלָֽי׃
va'ani bechasdekha vatachti yagel libbi bishu'atekha ashira laADONAI ki gamal alay
But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust; My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, Because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
