For the Leader. A Psalm of David.
2הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם מְֽסַפְּרִ֥ים כְּבֽוֹד־אֵ֑ל וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָ֝דָ֗יו מַגִּ֥יד הָרָקִֽיעַ׃
hashamayim mesapperim kevod-el uma'ase yadav maggid harakia
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork;
3י֣וֹם לְ֭יוֹם יַבִּ֣יעַֽ אֹ֑מֶר וְלַ֥יְלָה לְּ֝לַ֗יְלָה יְחַוֶּה־דָּֽעַת׃
yom leyom yabbia omer velayla lelayla yechavve-da'at
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night revealeth knowledge;
4אֵֽין־אֹ֭מֶר וְאֵ֣ין דְּבָרִ֑ים בְּ֝לִ֗י נִשְׁמָ֥ע קוֹלָֽם׃
en-omer ve'en devarim beli nishma' kolam
There is no speech, there are no words, neither is their voice heard.
5בְּכָל־הָאָ֨רֶץ ׀ יָ֘צָ֤א קַוָּ֗ם וּבִקְצֵ֣ה תֵ֭בֵל מִלֵּיהֶ֑ם לַ֝שֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ שָֽׂם־אֹ֥הֶל בָּהֶֽם׃
bekhal-ha'aretz yatza kavvam uviktze tevel millehem lashemesh sam-ohel bahem
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tent for the sun,
6וְה֗וּא כְּ֭חָתָן יֹצֵ֣א מֵחֻפָּת֑וֹ יָשִׂ֥ישׂ כְּ֝גִבּ֗וֹר לָר֥וּץ אֹֽרַח׃
vehu kechatan yotze mechuppato yasis kegibbor larutz orach
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
7מִקְצֵ֤ה הַשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ מֽוֹצָא֗וֹ וּתְקוּפָת֥וֹ עַל־קְצוֹתָ֑ם וְאֵ֥ין נִ֝סְתָּ֗ר מֵֽחַמָּתוֹ׃
miktze hashamayim motzao utekufato al-ketzotam ve'en nistar mechammato
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
8תּ֘וֹרַ֤ת יְהוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ עֵד֥וּת יְהוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי׃
torat ADONAI temima meshivat nafesh edut ADONAI ne'emana machkimat peti
The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. .
9פִּקּ֘וּדֵ֤י יְהוָ֣ה יְ֭שָׁרִים מְשַׂמְּחֵי־לֵ֑ב מִצְוַ֥ת יְהוָ֥ה בָּ֝רָ֗ה מְאִירַ֥ת עֵינָֽיִם׃
pikkude ADONAI yesharim mesammeche-lev mitzvat ADONAI bara me'irat enayim
The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
10יִרְאַ֤ת יְהוָ֨ה ׀ טְהוֹרָה֮ עוֹמֶ֪דֶת לָ֫עַ֥ד מִֽשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱמֶ֑ת צָֽדְק֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
yir'at ADONAI tehora omedet la'ad mishpete-ADONAI emet tzadku yachdav
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, they are righteous altogether;
11הַֽנֶּחֱמָדִ֗ים מִ֭זָּהָב וּמִפַּ֣ז רָ֑ב וּמְתוּקִ֥ים מִ֝דְּבַ֗שׁ וְנֹ֣פֶת צוּפִֽים׃
hannechemadim mizzahav umippaz rav umetukim middevash venofet tzufim
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
12גַּֽם־עַ֭בְדְּךָ נִזְהָ֣ר בָּהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְרָ֗ם עֵ֣קֶב רָֽב׃
gam-avdekha nizhar bahem beshamram ekev rav
Moreover by them is Thy servant warned; in keeping of them there is great reward.
13שְׁגִיא֥וֹת מִֽי־יָבִ֑ין מִֽנִּסְתָּר֥וֹת נַקֵּֽנִי׃
shegiot mi-yavin minnistarot nakkeni
Who can discern his errors? Clear Thou me from hidden faults.
14גַּ֤ם מִזֵּדִ֨ים ׀ חֲשֹׂ֬ךְ עַבְדֶּ֗ךָ אַֽל־יִמְשְׁלוּ־בִ֣י אָ֣ז אֵיתָ֑ם וְ֝נִקֵּ֗יתִי מִפֶּ֥שַֽׁע רָֽב׃
gam mizzedim chasokh avdekha al-yimshelu-vi az etam venikketi mippesha' rav
Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression.
15יִֽהְי֥וּ לְרָצ֨וֹן ׀ אִמְרֵי־פִ֡י וְהֶגְי֣וֹן לִבִּ֣י לְפָנֶ֑יךָ יְ֝הוָ֗ה צוּרִ֥י וְגֹאֲלִֽי׃
yihyu leratzon imre-fi vehegyon libbi lefanekha ADONAI tzuri vego'ali
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before Thee, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
