לְדָוִ֡ד אֵ֘לֶ֤יךָ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ אֶקְרָ֗א צוּרִי֮ אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַ֪שׁ מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי פֶּן־תֶּֽחֱשֶׁ֥ה מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם־י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃
1
Of David.
O LORD, I call to You;
my rock, do not disregard me,
for if You hold aloof from me,
I shall be like those gone down into the Pit.
1
[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I call; My Rock, be not Thou deaf unto me; Lest, if Thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
ב׳
שְׁמַ֤ע ק֣וֹל תַּ֭חֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִ֣י אֵלֶ֑יךָ בְּנָשְׂאִ֥י יָ֝דַ֗י אֶל־דְּבִ֥יר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ׃
2
Listen to my plea for mercy
when I cry out to You,
when I lift my hands
toward Your inner sanctuary.
2
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto Thee, When I lift up my hands toward Thy holy Sanctuary.
ג׳
אַל־תִּמְשְׁכֵ֣נִי עִם־רְשָׁעִים֮ וְעִם־פֹּ֪עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן דֹּבְרֵ֣י שָׁ֭לוֹם עִם־רֵֽעֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝רָעָ֗ה בִּלְבָבָֽם׃
3
Do not count me with the wicked and evildoers
who profess goodwill toward their fellows
while malice is in their heart.
3
Draw me not away with the wicked, And with the workers of iniquity; Who speak peace with their neighbours, But evil is in their hearts.
אַל תִּמְשְׁכֵנִי. אַל תַּרְגִּילֵנִי עִם רְשָׁעִים. אטרירא״ש מו״י בְּלַעַ״ז:
Do not cause me to be drawn Heb. תמשכני, do not draw me with the wicked; treras moy in Old French.
ד׳
תֶּן־לָהֶ֣ם כְּפָעֳלָם֮ וּכְרֹ֪עַ מַֽעַלְלֵ֫יהֶ֥ם כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יְ֭דֵיהֶם תֵּ֣ן לָהֶ֑ם הָשֵׁ֖ב גְּמוּלָ֣ם לָהֶֽם׃
4
Pay them according to their deeds,
their malicious acts;
according to their handiwork pay them,
give them their deserts.
4
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the evil of their endeavours; Give them after the work of their hands; Render to them their desert.
ה׳
כִּ֤י לֹ֤א יָבִ֡ינוּ אֶל־פְּעֻלֹּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה וְאֶל־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדָ֑יו יֶ֝הֶרְסֵ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִבְנֵֽם׃
5
For they do not consider the LORD’s deeds,
the work of His hands.
May He tear them down,
never to rebuild them!
5
Because they give no heed to the works of the LORD, Nor to the operation of His hands; He will break them down and not build them up.
ו׳
בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה כִּי־שָׁ֝מַע ק֣וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
6
Blessed is the LORD,
for He listens to my plea for mercy.
6
Blessed be the LORD, Because He hath heard the voice of my supplications.
ז׳
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ עֻזִּ֥י וּמָגִנִּי֮ בּ֤וֹ בָטַ֥ח לִבִּ֗י וְֽנֶ֫עֱזָ֥רְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹ֥ז לִבִּ֑י וּֽמִשִּׁירִ֥י אֲהוֹדֶֽנּוּ׃
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in Him.
I was helped, and my heart exulted,
so I will glorify Him with my song.
7
The LORD is my strength and my shield, In Him hath my heart trusted, And I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth, And with my song will I praise Him.
וּמִשִּׁירִי אֲהוֹדֶנּוּ. וּמַה הִיא הַהוֹדָיָה? ה׳ עֹז לָמוֹ לְאוֹתָן הַתְּלוּיִין בּוֹ בְּעֵת שֶׁמָּעוֹז יְשׁוּעוֹת מְשִׁיחוֹ הוּא:
and I will thank Him with my song Now what is the thanks?...The Lord is strength to them to those who rely on Him, viz. the entire house of Israel, at the time that He is the stronghold of the salvations of His anointed.
ח׳
יְהוָ֥ה עֹֽז־לָ֑מוֹ וּמָ֘ע֤וֹז יְשׁוּע֖וֹת מְשִׁיח֣וֹ הֽוּא׃
8
The LORD is their strength;
He is a stronghold for the deliverance of His anointed.
8
The LORD is a strength unto them; And He is a stronghold of salvation to His anointed.
ט׳
הוֹשִׁ֤יעָה ׀ אֶת־עַמֶּ֗ךָ וּבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ וּֽרְעֵ֥ם וְ֝נַשְּׂאֵ֗ם עַד־הָעוֹלָֽם׃
9
Deliver and bless Your very own people;
tend them and sustain them forever.
9
Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance; And tend them, and carry them for ever.
וּרְעֵם. לְשׁוֹן מִרְעֶה:
and tend them Heb. ורעם, an expression of pasture (מרעה).
