ode ADONAI bekhal-libbi asappera kal-nifleotekha
I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
3אֶשְׂמְחָ֣ה וְאֶעֶלְצָ֣ה בָ֑ךְ אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃
esmecha ve'e'eltza vakh azammera shimkha elyon
I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
4בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַ֥י אָח֑וֹר יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ וְ֝יֹאבְד֗וּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃
beshuv-oyvay achor yikkashlu veyovdu mippanekha
When mine enemies are turned back, They stumble and perish at Thy presence;
5כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃
ki-asita mishpati vedini yashavta lekhisse shofet tzedek
For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
6גָּעַ֣רְתָּ ג֭וֹיִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע שְׁמָ֥ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְעוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
ga'arta goyim ibbadta rasha' shemam machita le'olam va'ed
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
7הָֽאוֹיֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָב֗וֹת לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃
haoyev tammu choravot lanetzach ve'arim natashta avad zikhram hemma
O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; And the cities which thou didst uproot, Their very memorial is perished.
8וַֽ֭יהוָה לְעוֹלָ֣ם יֵשֵׁ֑ב כּוֹנֵ֖ן לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃
veADONAI le'olam yeshev konen lammishpat kiso
But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
9וְה֗וּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק יָדִ֥ין לְ֝אֻמִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃
vehu yishpot-tevel betzedek yadin le'ummim bemesharim
And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
10וִ֘יהִ֤י יְהוָ֣ה מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לַדָּ֑ךְ מִ֝שְׂגָּ֗ב לְעִתּ֥וֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃
vihi ADONAI misgav laddakh misgav le'ittot batzara
The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
11וְיִבְטְח֣וּ בְ֭ךָ יוֹדְעֵ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־עָזַ֖בְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
veyivtechu vekha yod'e shemekha ki lo-azavta dorshekha ADONAI
And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
12זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה יֹשֵׁ֣ב צִיּ֑וֹן הַגִּ֥ידוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; Declare among the peoples His doings.
13כִּֽי־דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אוֹתָ֣ם זָכָ֑ר לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח צַעֲקַ֥ת עניים [עֲנָוִֽים]׃
ki-doresh damim otam zakhar lo-shakhach tza'akat anavim
For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
14חָֽנְנֵ֬נִי יְהוָ֗ה רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָ֑י מְ֝רוֹמְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃
channeni ADONAI re'e anyi misson'ay merommi misha'are mavet
Be gracious unto me, O LORD, Behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
15לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיּ֑וֹן אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃
lema'an asappera kal-tehillatekha besha'are vat-tziyyon agila bishu'atekha
That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, That I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
16טָבְע֣וּ ג֭וֹיִם בְּשַׁ֣חַת עָשׂ֑וּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־ז֥וּ טָ֝מָ֗נוּ נִלְכְּדָ֥ה רַגְלָֽם׃
tav'u goyim beshachat asu bereshet-zu tamanu nilkeda raglam
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
17נ֤וֹדַ֨ע ׀ יְהוָה֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בְּפֹ֣עַל כַּ֭פָּיו נוֹקֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֑ע הִגָּי֥וֹן סֶֽלָה׃

The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

yashuvu resha'im lishola kal-goyim shekheche elohim
The wicked shall return to the nether-world, Even all the nations that forget God.
19כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לָ֭נֶצַח יִשָּׁכַ֣ח אֶבְי֑וֹן תִּקְוַ֥ת ענוים [עֲ֝נִיִּ֗ים] תֹּאבַ֥ד לָעַֽד׃

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
