Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִיל֗וֹת מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
lamnatzeach el-hannechilot mizmor ledavid
For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David.
2אֲמָרַ֖י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בִּ֣ינָה הֲגִֽיגִי׃
amaray ha'azina ADONAI bina hagigi
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
3הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה ׀ לְק֬וֹל שַׁוְעִ֗י מַלְכִּ֥י וֵאלֹהָ֑י כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽל׃
hakshiva lekol shav'i malki velohay ki-elekha etpallal
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto Thee do I pray.
4יְֽהוָ֗ה בֹּ֭קֶר תִּשְׁמַ֣ע קוֹלִ֑י בֹּ֥קֶר אֶֽעֱרָךְ־לְ֝ךָ֗ וַאֲצַפֶּֽה׃
ADONAI boker tishma' koli boker e'erakh-lekha va'atzappe
O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.
5כִּ֤י ׀ לֹ֤א אֵֽל־חָפֵ֘ץ רֶ֥שַׁע ׀ אָ֑תָּה לֹ֖א יְגֻרְךָ֣ רָֽע׃
ki lo el-chafetz resha' atta lo yegurkha ra'
For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; Evil shall not sojourn with Thee.
6לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּב֣וּ הֽ֭וֹלְלִים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑יךָ שָׂ֝נֵ֗אתָ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
lo-yityatzevu hollim leneged enekha saneta kal-po'ale aven
The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
7תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב ׀ יְהוָֽה׃
te'abbed dovre khazav ish-damim umirma yeta'ev ADONAI
Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.
8וַאֲנִ֗י בְּרֹ֣ב חַ֭סְדְּךָ אָב֣וֹא בֵיתֶ֑ךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥ה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃
va'ani berov chasdekha avo vetekha eshtachave el-hekhal-kadshekha beyir'atekha
But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.
9יְהוָ֤ה ׀ נְחֵ֬נִי בְצִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ לְמַ֥עַן שׁוֹרְרָ֑י הושר [הַיְשַׁ֖ר] לְפָנַ֣י דַּרְכֶּֽךָ׃
ADONAI necheni vetzidkatekha lema'an shorray hayshar lefanay darkekha
O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; Make Thy way straight before my face.
10כִּ֤י אֵ֪ין בְּפִ֡יהוּ נְכוֹנָה֮ קִרְבָּ֪ם הַ֫וּ֥וֹת קֶֽבֶר־פָּת֥וּחַ גְּרוֹנָ֑ם לְ֝שׁוֹנָ֗ם יַחֲלִֽיקוּן׃
ki en befihu nekhona kirbam havvot kever-patuach geronam leshonam yachalikun
For there is no sincerity in their mouth; Their inward part is a yawning gulf, Their throat is an open sepulchre; They make smooth their tongue.
11הַֽאֲשִׁימֵ֨ם ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים יִפְּלוּ֮ מִֽמֹּעֲצ֪וֹתֵ֫יהֶ֥ם בְּרֹ֣ב פִּ֭שְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵ֑מוֹ כִּי־מָ֥רוּ בָֽךְ׃
ha'ashimem elohim yippelu mimmo'atzotehem berov pish'ehem haddichemo ki-maru vakh
Hold them guilty, O God, Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against Thee.
12וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ כָל־ח֪וֹסֵי בָ֡ךְ לְעוֹלָ֣ם יְ֭רַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ימוֹ וְֽיַעְלְצ֥וּ בְ֝ךָ֗ אֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
veyismechu khal-chose vakh le'olam yerannenu vetasekh alemo veya'letzu vekha ohave shemekha
So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, They shall ever shout for joy, And Thou shalt shelter them; Let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.
13כִּֽי־אַתָּה֮ תְּבָרֵ֪ךְ צַ֫דִּ֥יק יְהוָ֑ה כַּ֝צִּנָּ֗ה רָצ֥וֹן תַּעְטְרֶֽנּוּ׃
ki-atta tevarekh tzaddik ADONAI katzinna ratzon ta'terennu
For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
