א׳
שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֑וֹת מִמַּעֲמַקִּ֖ים קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
1
A song of ascents.
Out of the depths I call You, O LORD.
1
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.
ב׳
אֲדֹנָי֮ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְק֫וֹלִ֥י תִּהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֭זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁב֑וֹת לְ֝ק֗וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
2
O Lord, listen to my cry;
let Your ears be attentive
to my plea for mercy.
2
Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
ג׳
אִם־עֲוֺנ֥וֹת תִּשְׁמָר־יָ֑הּ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י מִ֣י יַעֲמֹֽד׃
3
If You keep account of sins, O LORD,
Lord, who will survive?
3
If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
ד׳
כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ֥ הַסְּלִיחָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן תִּוָּרֵֽא׃
4
Yours is the power to forgive
so that You may be held in awe.
4
For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.
כִּי עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה. לֹא נָתַתָּ רְשׁוּת לְשָׁלִיחַ לִסְלֹחַ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״כִּי לֹא יִשָּׂא לְפִשְׁעֲכֶם״ (שמות כג:כא):
For forgiveness is with You You did not give permission to an agent to forgive, as it is said (Exod. 23:21): “for he will not forgive your transgression.”
לְמַעַן תִּוָּרֵא. עַל זֹאת, שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא אָדָם בָּטוּחַ עַל סְלִיחַת אַחֵר:
in order that You be feared for this, so that no man will rely on the forgiveness of another. (I found this.)
ה׳
קִוִּ֣יתִי יְ֭הוָה קִוְּתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י וְֽלִדְבָר֥וֹ הוֹחָֽלְתִּי׃
5
I look to the LORD;
I look to Him;
I await His word.
5
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.
קִוִּיתִי ה׳ קִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי. קִוּוּי אַחַר קִוּוּי, כְּעֵין ״קַוֵּה אֶל ה׳ חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ וְקַוֵּה״ (תהלים כז:יד), כְּעֵין מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר שֹׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר:
I hoped, O Lord; yea, my soul hoped one hope after another hope, similar to (above 27:14): “Hope for the Lord, be strong and He will give your heart courage, and hope,” and similar to “among those who await the morning, those who await the morning.”
ו׳
נַפְשִׁ֥י לַֽאדֹנָ֑י מִשֹּׁמְרִ֥ים לַ֝בֹּ֗קֶר שֹׁמְרִ֥ים לַבֹּֽקֶר׃
6
I am more eager for the Lord
than watchmen for the morning,
watchmen for the morning.
6
My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
נַפְשִׁי לַה׳ מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר. הֲרֵינִי מִן הַמְצַפִּים לַגְּאֻלָּה:
My soul is to the Lord among those who await the morning I am among those who look forward to the redemption.
שׁוֹמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר. מְצַפִּין וְחוֹזְרִין וּמְצַפִּין, קֵץ אַחַר קֵץ (מצאתי):
those who await the morning They look forward and repeatedly look forward for one end after another end. (I found this.)
ז׳
יַחֵ֥ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶל־יְה֫וָה כִּֽי־עִם־יְהוָ֥ה הַחֶ֑סֶד וְהַרְבֵּ֖ה עִמּ֣וֹ פְדֽוּת׃
7
O Israel, wait for the LORD;
for with the LORD is steadfast love
and great power to redeem.
7
O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption.
ח׳
וְ֭הוּא יִפְדֶּ֣ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֝כֹּ֗ל עֲוֺנֹתָֽיו׃
8
It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
8
And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
