2בְּקָרְאִ֡י עֲנֵ֤נִי ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗י בַּ֭צָּר הִרְחַ֣בְתָּ לִּ֑י חָ֝נֵּ֗נִי וּשְׁמַ֥ע תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
bekar'i aneni elohe tzidki batzar hirchavta li channeni ushema' tefillati
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
3בְּנֵ֥י אִ֡ישׁ עַד־מֶ֬ה כְבוֹדִ֣י לִ֭כְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָב֣וּן רִ֑יק תְּבַקְשׁ֖וּ כָזָ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃
bene ish ad-me khevodi likhlimma te'ehavun rik tevakshu khazav sela
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah
4וּדְע֗וּ כִּֽי־הִפְלָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה חָסִ֣יד ל֑וֹ יְהוָ֥ה יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע בְּקָרְאִ֥י אֵלָֽיו׃
ude'u ki-hifla ADONAI chasid lo ADONAI yishma' bekar'i elav
But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; The LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
5רִגְז֗וּ וְֽאַל־תֶּ֫חֱטָ֥אוּ אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭לְבַבְכֶם עַֽל־מִשְׁכַּבְכֶ֗ם וְדֹ֣מּוּ סֶֽלָה׃
rigzu ve'al-techetau imru vilvavkhem al-mishkavkhem vedommu sela
Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah
6זִבְח֥וּ זִבְחֵי־צֶ֑דֶק וּ֝בִטְח֗וּ אֶל־יְהוָֽה׃
zivchu zivche-tzedek uvitchu el-ADONAI
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
7רַבִּ֥ים אֹמְרִים֮ מִֽי־יַרְאֵ֪נ֫וּ ט֥וֹב נְֽסָה־עָ֭לֵינוּ א֨וֹר פָּנֶ֬יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
rabbim omrim mi-yar'enu tov nesa-alenu or panekha ADONAI
Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
8נָתַ֣תָּה שִׂמְחָ֣ה בְלִבִּ֑י מֵעֵ֬ת דְּגָנָ֖ם וְתִֽירוֹשָׁ֣ם רָֽבּוּ׃
natatta simcha velibbi me'et deganam vetirosham rabbu
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
9בְּשָׁל֣וֹם יַחְדָּו֮ אֶשְׁכְּבָ֪ה וְאִ֫ישָׁ֥ן כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה לְבָדָ֑ד לָ֝בֶ֗טַח תּוֹשִׁיבֵֽנִי׃
beshalom yachdav eshkeva ve'ishan ki-atta ADONAI levadad lavetach toshiveni
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
