Psalms 28 תְּהִלִּים
Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1לְדָוִ֡ד אֵ֘לֶ֤יךָ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ אֶקְרָ֗א צוּרִי֮ אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַ֪שׁ מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי פֶּן־תֶּֽחֱשֶׁ֥ה מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם־י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃
ledavid elekha ADONAI ekra tzuri al-techerash mimmenni pen-techeshe mimmenni venimshalti im-yorde vor
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; My Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; Lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
2שְׁמַ֤ע ק֣וֹל תַּ֭חֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִ֣י אֵלֶ֑יךָ בְּנָשְׂאִ֥י יָ֝דַ֗י אֶל־דְּבִ֥יר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ׃
shema' kol tachanunay beshavve'i elekha benas'i yaday el-devir kadshekha
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, When I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.
3אַל־תִּמְשְׁכֵ֣נִי עִם־רְשָׁעִים֮ וְעִם־פֹּ֪עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן דֹּבְרֵ֣י שָׁ֭לוֹם עִם־רֵֽעֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝רָעָ֗ה בִּלְבָבָֽם׃
al-timshekheni im-resha'im ve'im-po'ale aven dovre shalom im-re'ehem vera'a bilvavam
Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; Who speak peace with their neighbours, But evil is in their hearts.
4תֶּן־לָהֶ֣ם כְּפָעֳלָם֮ וּכְרֹ֪עַ מַֽעַלְלֵ֫יהֶ֥ם כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יְ֭דֵיהֶם תֵּ֣ן לָהֶ֑ם הָשֵׁ֖ב גְּמוּלָ֣ם לָהֶֽם׃
ten-lahem kefa'olam ukheroa ma'allehem kema'ase yedehem ten lahem hashev gemulam lahem
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; Give them after the work of their hands; Render to them their desert.
5כִּ֤י לֹ֤א יָבִ֡ינוּ אֶל־פְּעֻלֹּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה וְאֶל־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדָ֑יו יֶ֝הֶרְסֵ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִבְנֵֽם׃
ki lo yavinu el-pe'ullot ADONAI ve'el-ma'ase yadav yehersem velo yivnem
Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, Nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.
6בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה כִּי־שָׁ֝מַע ק֣וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
barukh ADONAI ki-shama' kol tachanunay
Blessed be the LORD, Because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7יְהוָ֤ה ׀ עֻזִּ֥י וּמָגִנִּי֮ בּ֤וֹ בָטַ֥ח לִבִּ֗י וְֽנֶ֫עֱזָ֥רְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹ֥ז לִבִּ֑י וּֽמִשִּׁירִ֥י אֲהוֹדֶֽנּוּ׃
ADONAI uzzi umaginni bo vatach libbi vene'ezarti vayya'aloz libbi umishiri ahodennu
The LORD is my strength and my shield, In Him hath my heart trusted, And I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, And with my song will I praise Him.
8יְהוָ֥ה עֹֽז־לָ֑מוֹ וּמָ֘ע֤וֹז יְשׁוּע֖וֹת מְשִׁיח֣וֹ הֽוּא׃
ADONAI oz-lamo uma'oz yeshu'ot meshicho hu
The LORD is a strength unto them; And He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.
9הוֹשִׁ֤יעָה ׀ אֶת־עַמֶּ֗ךָ וּבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ וּֽרְעֵ֥ם וְ֝נַשְּׂאֵ֗ם עַד־הָעוֹלָֽם׃
hoshi'a et-ammekha uvarekh et-nachalatekha ure'em venasse'em ad-ha'olam
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; And tend them, and carry them for ever.
