| [1]A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit. |
[1]תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִד שִׁמְעָה יְהוָה צֶדֶק הַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִי בְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָה׃ |
| [2]From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly. |
[2]מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵא עֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִים׃ |
| [3]Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth. |
[3]בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָה צְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָא זַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבָר־פִּי׃ |
| [4]As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer; |
[4]לִפְעֻלֹּות אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָ אֲנִי שָׁמַרְתִּי אָרְחֹות פָּרִיץ׃ |
| [5]To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden. |
[5]תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלֹותֶיךָ בַּל־נָמֹוטּוּ פְעָמָי׃ |
| [6]I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech. |
[6]אֲנִי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵל הַט־אָזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִי׃ |
| [7]Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders. |
[7]הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מֹושִׁיעַ חֹוסִים מִמִּתְקֹומְמִים בִּימִינֶךָ׃ |
| [8]Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me. |
[8]שָׁמְרֵנִי כְּאִישֹׁון בַּת־עָיִן בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵנִי׃ |
| [9]From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me. |
[9]מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִי אֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָי׃ |
| [10]Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride: |
[10]חֶלְבָּמֹו סָּגְרוּ פִּימֹו דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאוּת׃ |
| [11]`Our steps now have compassed [him];' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land. |
[11]אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה סְבָבוּנִי [Q: סְבָבוּנוּ] עֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטֹות בָּאָרֶץ׃ |
| [12]His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places. |
[12]דִּמְיֹנֹו כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסֹוף לִטְרֹוף וְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרִים׃ |
| [13]Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword, |
[13]קוּמָה יְהוָה קַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּ פַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּךָ׃ |
| [14]From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings. |
[14]מִמְתִים יָדְךָ יְהוָה מִמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּחַיִּים וּצְפִינְךָ [Q: וּצְפוּנְךָ] תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעֹולְלֵיהֶם׃ |
| [15]I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form! |
[15]אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶךָ׃ |
