| [1]To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over. |
[1]לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵת לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם בְּבָרְחֹו מִפְּנֵי־שָׁאוּל בַּמְּעָרָה׃ |
| [2]I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me. |
[2]חָנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים חָנֵּנִי כִּי בְךָ חָסָיָה נַפְשִׁי וּבְצֵל־כְּנָפֶיךָ אֶחְסֶה עַד יַעֲבֹר הַוֹּות׃ |
| [3]He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached -- who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth. |
[3]אֶקְרָא לֵאלֹהִים עֶלְיֹון לָאֵל גֹּמֵר עָלָי׃ |
| [4]My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames -- sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword. |
[4]יִשְׁלַח מִשָּׁמַיִם וְיֹושִׁיעֵנִי חֵרֵף שֹׁאֲפִי סֶלָה יִשְׁלַח אֱלֹהִים חַסְדֹּו וַאֲמִתֹּו׃ |
| [5]Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour. |
[5]נַפְשִׁי בְּתֹוךְ לְבָאִם אֶשְׁכְּבָה לֹהֲטִים בְּנֵי־אָדָם שִׁנֵּיהֶם חֲנִית וְחִצִּים וּלְשֹׁונָם חֶרֶב חַדָּה׃ |
| [6]A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. Selah. |
[6]רוּמָה עַל־הַשָּׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים עַל כָּל־הָאָרֶץ כְּבֹודֶךָ׃ |
| [7]Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise. |
[7]רֶשֶׁת הֵכִינוּ לִפְעָמַי כָּףַף נַפְשִׁי כָּרוּ לְפָנַי שִׁיחָה נָפְלוּ בְתֹוכָהּ סֶלָה׃ |
| [8]Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn. |
[8]נָכֹון לִבִּי אֱלֹהִים נָכֹון לִבִּי אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמֵּרָה׃ |
| [9]I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations. |
[9]עוּרָה כְבֹודִי עוּרָה הַנֵּבֶל וְכִנֹּור אָעִירָה שָּׁחַר׃ |
| [10]For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth. |
[10]אֹודְךָ בָעַמִּים אֲדֹנָי אֲזַמֶּרְךָ בַּל־אֻמִּים׃ |
| [11]Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour! |
[11]כִּי־גָדֹל עַד־שָׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ וְעַד־שְׁחָקִים אֲמִתֶּךָ׃ |
| 12[No verse] |
[12]רוּמָה עַל־שָׁמַיִם אֱלֹהִים עַל כָּל־הָאָרֶץ כְּבֹודֶךָ׃ |
