Psalms 144 תְּהִלִּים

¹לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ בָּ֘ר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ צוּרִ֗י הַֽמְלַמֵּ֣ד יָדַ֣י לַקְרָ֑ב אֶ֝צְבְּעוֹתַ֗י לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

ledavid barukh ADONAI tzuri hamlammed yaday lakrav etzbe'otay lammilchama

1[A Psalm] of David. Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who traineth my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;

²חַסְדִּ֥י וּמְצוּדָתִי֮ מִשְׂגַּבִּ֪י וּֽמְפַלְטִ֫י לִ֥י מָ֭גִנִּי וּב֣וֹ חָסִ֑יתִי הָרוֹדֵ֖ד עַמִּ֣י תַחְתָּֽי׃

chasdi umetzudati misgabbi umefalti li maginni uvo chasiti haroded ammi tachtay

2My lovingkindness, and my fortress, My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and He in whom I take refuge; Who subdueth my people under me.

³יְֽהוָ֗ה מָה־אָ֭דָם וַתֵּדָעֵ֑הוּ בֶּן־אֱ֝נ֗וֹשׁ וַֽתְּחַשְּׁבֵֽהוּ׃

ADONAI ma-adam vatteda'ehu ben-enosh vattechashevehu

3LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him?

⁴אָ֭דָם לַהֶ֣בֶל דָּמָ֑ה יָ֝מָ֗יו כְּצֵ֣ל עוֹבֵֽר׃

adam lahevel dama yamav ketzel over

4Man is like unto a breath; His days are as a shadow that passeth away.

⁵יְ֭הוָה הַט־שָׁמֶ֣יךָ וְתֵרֵ֑ד גַּ֖ע בֶּהָרִ֣ים וְֽיֶעֱשָֽׁנוּ׃

ADONAI hat-shamekha vetered ga' beharim veye'eshanu

5O LORD, bow Thy heavens, and come down; Touch the mountains, that they may smoke.

⁶בְּר֣וֹק בָּ֭רָק וּתְפִיצֵ֑ם שְׁלַ֥ח חִ֝צֶּ֗יךָ וּתְהֻמֵּֽם׃

berok barak utefitzem shelach chitzekha utehummem

6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them; Send out Thine arrows, and discomfit them.

⁷שְׁלַ֥ח יָדֶ֗יךָ מִמָּ֫ר֥וֹם פְּצֵ֣נִי וְ֭הַצִּילֵנִי מִמַּ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים מִ֝יַּ֗ד בְּנֵ֣י נֵכָֽר׃

shelach yadekha mimmarom petzeni vehatzileni mimmayim rabbim miyyad bene nekhar

7Stretch forth Thy hands from on high; Rescue me, and deliver me out of many waters, Out of the hand of strangers;

⁸אֲשֶׁ֣ר פִּ֭יהֶם דִּבֶּר־שָׁ֑וְא וִֽ֝ימִינָ֗ם יְמִ֣ין שָֽׁקֶר׃

asher pihem dibber-shav viminam yemin shaker

8Whose mouth speaketh falsehood, And their right hand is a right hand of lying.

⁹אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים שִׁ֣יר חָ֭דָשׁ אָשִׁ֣ירָה לָּ֑ךְ בְּנֵ֥בֶל עָ֝שׂ֗וֹר אֲזַמְּרָה־לָּֽךְ׃

elohim shir chadash ashira lakh benevel asor azammera-lakh

9O God, I will sing a new song unto Thee, Upon a psaltery of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee;

¹⁰הַנּוֹתֵ֥ן תְּשׁוּעָ֗ה לַמְּלָ֫כִ֥ים הַ֭פּוֹצֶה אֶת־דָּוִ֥ד עַבְדּ֗וֹ מֵחֶ֥רֶב רָעָֽה׃

hannoten teshu'a lammelakhim happotze et-david avdo mecherev ra'a

10Who givest salvation unto kings, Who rescuest David Thy servant from the hurtful sword.

¹¹פְּצֵ֥נִי וְהַצִּילֵנִי֮ מִיַּ֪ד בְּֽנֵי־נֵ֫כָ֥ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר פִּ֭יהֶם דִּבֶּר־שָׁ֑וְא וִֽ֝ימִינָ֗ם יְמִ֣ין שָֽׁקֶר׃

petzeni vehatzileni miyyad bene-nekhar asher pihem dibber-shav viminam yemin shaker

11Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hand of strangers, Whose mouth speaketh falsehood, And their right hand is a right hand of lying.

¹²אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּנֵ֨ינוּ ׀ כִּנְטִעִים֮ מְגֻדָּלִ֪ים בִּֽנְעוּרֵ֫יהֶ֥ם בְּנוֹתֵ֥ינוּ כְזָוִיֹּ֑ת מְ֝חֻטָּב֗וֹת תַּבְנִ֥ית הֵיכָֽל׃

asher banenu kinti'im meguddalim bin'urehem benotenu khezaviyyot mechuttavot tavnit hekhal

12We whose sons are as plants grown up in their youth; Whose daughters are as corner-pillars carved after the fashion of a palace;

¹³מְזָוֵ֣ינוּ מְלֵאִים֮ מְפִיקִ֥ים מִזַּ֗ן אֶ֫ל־זַ֥ן צֹאונֵ֣נוּ מַ֭אֲלִיפוֹת מְרֻבָּב֗וֹת בְּחוּצוֹתֵֽינוּ׃

mezavenu mele'im mefikim mizzan el-zan tzovnenu ma'alifot merubbavot bechutzotenu

13Whose garners are full, affording all manner of store; Whose sheep increase by thousands and ten thousands in our fields;

¹⁴אַלּוּפֵ֗ינוּ מְֽסֻבָּ֫לִ֥ים אֵֽין־פֶּ֭רֶץ וְאֵ֣ין יוֹצֵ֑את וְאֵ֥ין צְ֝וָחָ֗ה בִּרְחֹבֹתֵֽינוּ׃

allufenu mesubbalim en-peretz ve'en yotzet ve'en tzevacha birchovotenu

14Whose oxen are well laden; With no breach, and no going forth, And no outcry in our broad places;

¹⁵אַשְׁרֵ֣י הָ֭עָם שֶׁכָּ֣כָה לּ֑וֹ אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י הָ֝עָ֗ם שֶׁיֲהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃

ashre ha'am shekkakha lo ashre ha'am sheyahva elohav

15Happy is the people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the LORD.
