lamnatzeach al-yedutun mizmor ledavid
For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
2אַ֣ךְ אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃
akh el-elohim dumiyya nafshi mimmennu yeshu'ati
Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; From Him cometh my salvation.
3אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹא־אֶמּ֥וֹט רַבָּֽה׃
akh-hu tzuri vishu'ati misgabbi lo-emmot rabba
He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.
4עַד־אָ֤נָה ׀ תְּהֽוֹתְת֣וּ עַל אִישׁ֮ תְּרָצְּח֪וּ כֻ֫לְּכֶ֥ם כְּקִ֥יר נָט֑וּי גָּ֝דֵ֗ר הַדְּחוּיָֽה׃
ad-ana tehottu al ish teratzechu khullekhem kekir natuy gader haddechuya
How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him, all of you, As a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
5אַ֤ךְ מִשְּׂאֵת֨וֹ ׀ יָעֲצ֣וּ לְהַדִּיחַ֮ יִרְצ֪וּ כָ֫זָ֥ב בְּפִ֥יו יְבָרֵ֑כוּ וּ֝בְקִרְבָּ֗ם יְקַלְלוּ־סֶֽלָה׃
akh misse'eto ya'atzu lehaddiach yirtzu khazav befiv yevarekhu uvekirbam yekallu-sela
They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah
6אַ֣ךְ לֵ֭אלֹהִים דּ֣וֹמִּי נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּי־מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ תִּקְוָתִֽי׃
akh lelohim dommi nafshi ki-mimmennu tikvati
Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; For from Him cometh my hope.
7אַךְ־ה֣וּא צ֭וּרִי וִֽישׁוּעָתִ֑י מִ֝שְׂגַּבִּ֗י לֹ֣א אֶמּֽוֹט׃
akh-hu tzuri vishu'ati misgabbi lo emmot
He only is my rock and my salvation, My high tower, I shall not be moved.
8עַל־אֱ֭לֹהִים יִשְׁעִ֣י וּכְבוֹדִ֑י צוּר־עֻזִּ֥י מַ֝חְסִ֗י בֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃
al-elohim yish'i ukhevodi tzur-uzzi machsi belohim
Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
9בִּטְח֘וּ ב֤וֹ בְכָל־עֵ֨ת ׀ עָ֗ם שִׁפְכֽוּ־לְפָנָ֥יו לְבַבְכֶ֑ם אֱלֹהִ֖ים מַחֲסֶה־לָּ֣נוּ סֶֽלָה׃
bitchu vo vekhal-et am shifkhu-lefanav levavkhem elohim machase-lanu sela
Trust in Him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
10אַ֤ךְ ׀ הֶ֥בֶל בְּנֵֽי־אָדָם֮ כָּזָ֪ב בְּנֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ בְּמֹאזְנַ֥יִם לַעֲל֑וֹת הֵ֝֗מָּה מֵהֶ֥בֶל יָֽחַד׃
akh hevel bene-adam kazav bene ish bemoznayim la'alot hemma mehevel yachad
Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; If they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.
11אַל־תִּבְטְח֣וּ בְעֹשֶׁק֮ וּבְגָזֵ֪ל אַל־תֶּ֫הְבָּ֥לוּ חַ֤יִל ׀ כִּֽי־יָנ֑וּב אַל־תָּשִׁ֥יתוּ לֵֽב׃
al-tivtechu ve'oshek uvegazel al-tehbalu chayil ki-yanuv al-tashitu lev
Trust not in oppression, And put not vain hope in robbery; If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.
12אַחַ֤ת ׀ דִּבֶּ֬ר אֱלֹהִ֗ים שְׁתַּֽיִם־ז֥וּ שָׁמָ֑עְתִּי כִּ֥י עֹ֝֗ז לֵאלֹהִֽים׃
achat dibber elohim shetayim-zu shama'ti ki oz lelohim
God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this: That strength belongeth unto God;
13וּלְךָֽ־אֲדֹנָ֥י חָ֑סֶד כִּֽי־אַתָּ֨ה תְשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְאִ֣ישׁ כְּֽמַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃
ulekha-adonay chased ki-atta teshallem le'ish kema'asehu
Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; For Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
