lamnatzeach shir mizmor hari'u lelohim kal-ha'aretz
For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;
2זַמְּר֥וּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמ֑וֹ שִׂ֥ימוּ כָ֝ב֗וֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
zammeru khevod-shemo simu khavod tehillato
Sing praises unto the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.
3אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃
imru lelohim ma-nora ma'asekha berov uzzekha yekhachashu lekha oyvekha
Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.
4כָּל־הָאָ֤רֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְ֭ךָ וִֽיזַמְּרוּ־לָ֑ךְ יְזַמְּר֖וּ שִׁמְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃
kal-ha'aretz yishtachavu lekha vizammeru-lakh yezammeru shimkha sela
All the earth shall worship Thee, And shall sing praises unto Thee; They shall sing praises to Thy name.' Selah
5לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃
lekhu ureu mif'alot elohim nora alila al-bene adam
Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.
6הָ֤פַךְ יָ֨ם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁ֗ה בַּ֭נָּהָר יַֽעַבְר֣וּ בְרָ֑גֶל שָׁ֝֗ם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃
hafakh yam leyabbasha bannahar ya'avru veragel sham nismecha-bo
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him!
7מֹ֘שֵׁ֤ל בִּגְבוּרָת֨וֹ ׀ עוֹלָ֗ם עֵ֭ינָיו בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם תִּצְפֶּ֑ינָה הַסּוֹרְרִ֓ים ׀ אַל־ירימו [יָר֖וּמוּ] לָ֣מוֹ סֶֽלָה׃
moshel bigvurato olam enav baggoyim titzpena hassorrim al-yarumu lamo sela
Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
8בָּרְכ֖וּ עַמִּ֥ים ׀ אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝הַשְׁמִ֗יעוּ ק֣וֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
barkhu ammim elohenu vehashmi'u kol tehillato
Bless our God, ye peoples, And make the voice of His praise to be heard;
9הַשָּׂ֣ם נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ בַּֽחַיִּ֑ים וְלֹֽא־נָתַ֖ן לַמּ֣וֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃
hassam nafshenu bachayyim velo-natan lammot raglenu
Who hath set our soul in life, And suffered not our foot to be moved,
10כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּ֥נוּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים צְ֝רַפְתָּ֗נוּ כִּצְרָף־כָּֽסֶף׃
ki-vechantanu elohim tzeraftanu kitzraf-kasef
For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
11הֲבֵאתָ֥נוּ בַמְּצוּדָ֑ה שַׂ֖מְתָּ מוּעָקָ֣ה בְמָתְנֵֽינוּ׃
havetanu vammetzuda samta mu'aka vematnenu
Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.
12הִרְכַּ֥בְתָּ אֱנ֗וֹשׁ לְרֹ֫אשֵׁ֥נוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵ֥שׁ וּבַמַּ֑יִם וַ֝תּוֹצִיאֵ֗נוּ לָֽרְוָיָֽה׃
hirkavta enosh leroshenu banu-va'esh uvammayim vattotzi'enu larvaya
Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water; But Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.
13אָב֣וֹא בֵיתְךָ֣ בְעוֹל֑וֹת אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם לְךָ֣ נְדָרָֽי׃
avo vetkha ve'olot ashallem lekha nedaray
I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,
14אֲשֶׁר־פָּצ֥וּ שְׂפָתָ֑י וְדִבֶּר־פִּ֝֗י בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃
asher-patzu sefatay vedibber-pi batzar-li
Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
15עֹ֘ל֤וֹת מֵחִ֣ים אַעֲלֶה־לָּ֭ךְ עִם־קְטֹ֣רֶת אֵילִ֑ים אֶ֥עֱשֶֽׂה בָקָ֖ר עִם־עַתּוּדִ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
olot mechim a'ale-lakh im-ketoret elim e'ese vakar im-attudim sela
I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah
16לְכֽוּ־שִׁמְע֣וּ וַ֭אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־יִרְאֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עָשָׂ֣ה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃
lekhu-shim'u va'asappera kal-yir'e elohim asher asa lenafshi
Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what He hath done for my soul.

I cried unto Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue.
18אָ֭וֶן אִם־רָאִ֣יתִי בְלִבִּ֑י לֹ֖א יִשְׁמַ֣ע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
aven im-ra'iti velibbi lo yishma' adonay
If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, The Lord would not hear;
19אָ֭כֵן שָׁמַ֣ע אֱלֹהִ֑ים הִ֝קְשִׁ֗יב בְּק֣וֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
akhen shama' elohim hikshiv bekol tefillati
But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
20בָּר֥וּךְ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־הֵסִ֘יר תְּפִלָּתִ֥י וְ֝חַסְדּ֗וֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃
barukh elohim asher lo-hesir tefillati vechasdo me'itti
Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
