Psalms 63 תְּהִלִּים

¹מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑ד בִּ֝הְיוֹת֗וֹ בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר יְהוּדָֽה׃

mizmor ledavid bihyoto bemidbar yehuda

1A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

²אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨ ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃

elohim eli atta ashacharekka tzam'a lekha nafshi kamah lekha vesari be'eretz-tziyya ve'ayef beli-mayim

2O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; My soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

³כֵּ֭ן בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ לִרְא֥וֹת עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ וּכְבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

ken bakkodesh chazitikha lirot uzzekha ukhevodekha

3So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, To see Thy power and Thy glory. .

⁴כִּי־ט֣וֹב חַ֭סְדְּךָ מֵֽחַיִּ֗ים שְׂפָתַ֥י יְשַׁבְּחֽוּנְךָ׃

ki-tov chasdekha mechayyim sefatay yeshabbechunkha

4For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; My lips shall praise Thee.

⁵כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי׃

ken avarekhkha vechayyay beshimkha essa khappay

5So will I bless Thee as long as I live; In Thy name will I lift up my hands.

⁶כְּמ֤וֹ חֵ֣לֶב וָ֭דֶשֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע נַפְשִׁ֑י וְשִׂפְתֵ֥י רְ֝נָנ֗וֹת יְהַלֶּל־פִּֽי׃

kemo chelev vadeshen tisba' nafshi vesifte renanot yehallel-pi

6My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

⁷אִם־זְכַרְתִּ֥יךָ עַל־יְצוּעָ֑י בְּ֝אַשְׁמֻר֗וֹת אֶהְגֶּה־בָּֽךְ׃

im-zekhartikha al-yetzu'ay be'ashmurot ehge-bakh

7When I remember Thee upon my couch, And meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

⁸כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ עֶזְרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י וּבְצֵ֖ל כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃

ki-hayita ezrata li uvetzel kenafekha arannen

8For Thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

⁹דָּבְקָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֣י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝֗י תָּמְכָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

davka nafshi acharekha bi tamkha yeminekha

9My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

¹⁰וְהֵ֗מָּה לְ֭שׁוֹאָה יְבַקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּֽתַחְתִּיּ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

vehemma lesho'a yevakshu nafshi yavou betachtiyyot ha'aretz

10But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

¹¹יַגִּירֻ֥הוּ עַל־יְדֵי־חָ֑רֶב מְנָ֖ת שֻׁעָלִ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ׃

yaggiruhu al-yede-charev menat shu'alim yihyu

11They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; They shall be a portion for foxes.

¹²וְהַמֶּלֶךְ֮ יִשְׂמַ֪ח בֵּאלֹ֫הִ֥ים יִ֭תְהַלֵּל כָּל־הַנִּשְׁבָּ֣ע בּ֑וֹ כִּ֥י יִ֝סָּכֵ֗ר פִּ֣י דֽוֹבְרֵי־שָֽׁקֶר׃

vehammelekh yismach belohim yithallel kal-hannishba' bo ki yissakher pi dovre-shaker

12But the king shall rejoice in God; Every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
