1לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ בִּ֭נְגִינוֹת עַֽל־הַשְּׁמִינִ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
lamnatzeach binginot al-hasheminit mizmor ledavid
For the Leader; with string-music; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
2יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃
ADONAI al-be'appekha tokhicheni ve'al-bachamatkha teyassereni
O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, Neither chasten me in Thy wrath.
3חָנֵּ֥נִי יְהוָה֮ כִּ֤י אֻמְלַ֫ל אָ֥נִי רְפָאֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י נִבְהֲל֣וּ עֲצָמָֽי׃
channeni ADONAI ki umlal ani refa'eni ADONAI ki nivhalu atzamay
Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I languish away; Heal me, O LORD, for my bones are affrighted.
4וְ֭נַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד ואת [וְאַתָּ֥ה] יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַד־מָתָֽי׃
venafshi nivhala me'od ve'atta ADONAI ad-matay
My soul also is sore affrighted; And Thou, O LORD, how long?
5שׁוּבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה חַלְּצָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י ה֝וֹשִׁיעֵ֗נִי לְמַ֣עַן חַסְדֶּֽךָ׃
shuva ADONAI challetza nafshi hoshi'eni lema'an chasdekha
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul; Save me for Thy mercy's sake.
6כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין בַּמָּ֣וֶת זִכְרֶ֑ךָ בִּ֝שְׁא֗וֹל מִ֣י יֽוֹדֶה־לָּֽךְ׃
ki en bammavet zikhrekha bishol mi yode-lakh
For in death there is no remembrance of Thee; In the nether-world who will give Thee thanks?
7יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכָל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה׃
yaga'ti be'anchati asche vekhal-layla mittati bedim'ati arsi amse
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I melt away my couch with my tears.
8עָֽשְׁשָׁ֣ה מִכַּ֣עַס עֵינִ֑י עָֽ֝תְקָ֗ה בְּכָל־צוֹרְרָֽי׃
ashsha mikka'as eni atka bekhal-tzorray
Mine eye is dimmed because of vexation; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
9ס֣וּרוּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־שָׁמַ֥ע יְ֝הוָ֗ה ק֣וֹל בִּכְיִֽי׃
suru mimmenni kal-po'ale aven ki-shama' ADONAI kol bikhyi
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
10שָׁמַ֣ע יְ֭הוָה תְּחִנָּתִ֑י יְ֝הוָ֗ה תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י יִקָּֽח׃
shama' ADONAI techinnati ADONAI tefillati yikkach
The LORD hath heard my supplication; The LORD receiveth my prayer.
11יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ וְיִבָּהֲל֣וּ מְ֭אֹד כָּל־אֹיְבָ֑י יָ֝שֻׁ֗בוּ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ רָֽגַע׃
yevoshu veyibbahalu me'od kal-oyvay yashuvu yevoshu raga'
All mine enemies shall be ashamed and sore affrighted; They shall turn back, they shall be ashamed suddenly.
