Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לְעֶֽבֶד־יְהוָ֬ה לְדָוִֽד׃
lamnatzeach le'eved-ADONAI ledavid
For the Leader. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD.
2נְאֻֽם־פֶּ֣שַׁע לָ֭רָשָׁע בְּקֶ֣רֶב לִבִּ֑י אֵֽין־פַּ֥חַד אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃
ne'um-pesha' larasha' bekerev libbi en-pachad elohim leneged enav
Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks— There is no fear of God before his eyes.
3כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִ֣יק אֵלָ֣יו בְּעֵינָ֑יו לִמְצֹ֖א עֲוֺנ֣וֹ לִשְׂנֹֽא׃
ki-hechelik elav be'enav limtzo avono lisno
For it flattereth him in his eyes, Until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
4דִּבְרֵי־פִ֭יו אָ֣וֶן וּמִרְמָ֑ה חָדַ֖ל לְהַשְׂכִּ֣יל לְהֵיטִֽיב׃
divre-fiv aven umirma chadal lehaskil lehetiv
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; He hath left off to be wise, to do good.
5אָ֤וֶן ׀ יַחְשֹׁ֗ב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּ֫ב֥וֹ יִ֭תְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּ֣רֶךְ לֹא־ט֑וֹב רָ֝֗ע לֹ֣א יִמְאָֽס׃
aven yachshov al-mishkavo yityatzev al-derekh lo-tov ra' lo yim'as
He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.
6יְ֭הוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃
ADONAI behashamayim chasdekha emunatkha ad-shechakim
Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
7צִדְקָֽתְךָ֨ ׀ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵ֗ל מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶךָ תְּה֣וֹם רַבָּ֑ה אָ֤דָֽם־וּבְהֵמָ֖ה תוֹשִׁ֣יעַ יְהוָֽה׃
tzidkatkha keharre-el mishpatekha tehom rabba adam-uvehema toshia ADONAI
Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; Man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.
8מַה־יָּקָ֥ר חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים וּבְנֵ֥י אָדָ֑ם בְּצֵ֥ל כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃
ma-yakar chasdekha elohim uvene adam betzel kenafekha yechesayun
How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
9יִ֭רְוְיֻן מִדֶּ֣שֶׁן בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וְנַ֖חַל עֲדָנֶ֣יךָ תַשְׁקֵֽם׃
yirveyun middeshen betekha venachal adanekha tashkem
They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; And Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
10כִּֽי־עִ֭מְּךָ מְק֣וֹר חַיִּ֑ים בְּ֝אוֹרְךָ֗ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹר׃
ki-immekha mekor chayyim beorkha nir'e-or
For with Thee is the fountain of life; In Thy light do we see light.
11מְשֹׁ֣ךְ חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶ֑יךָ וְ֝צִדְקָֽתְךָ֗ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
meshokh chasdekha leyod'ekha vetzidkatkha leyishre-lev
O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; And Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
12אַל־תְּ֭בוֹאֵנִי רֶ֣גֶל גַּאֲוָ֑ה וְיַד־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִי׃
al-tevo'eni regel ga'ava veyad-resha'im al-tenideni
Let not the foot of pride overtake me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
13שָׁ֣ם נָ֭פְלוּ פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן דֹּ֝ח֗וּ וְלֹא־יָ֥כְלוּ קֽוּם׃
sham naflu po'ale aven dochu velo-yakhlu kum
There are the workers of iniquity fallen; They are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
