[For the end, a Psalm of David, for alternate strains.]
[1]לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ עַֽל־שֹׁושַׁנִּ֬ים לְדָוִֽד׃ [1]Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.
[2]הֹושִׁיעֵ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֤י בָ֖אוּ מַ֣יִם עַד־נָֽפֶשׁ׃ [2]I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
[3]טָבַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵ֣ן מְ֭צוּלָה וְאֵ֣ין מָעֳמָ֑ד בָּ֥אתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַ֝֗יִם וְשִׁבֹּ֥לֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִי׃ [3]I am weary of crying, my throat has become hoarse; mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
[4]יָגַ֣עְתִּי בְקָרְאִי֮ נִחַ֪ר גְּרֹ֫ונִ֥י כָּל֥וּ עֵינַ֑י מְ֝יַחֵ֗ל לֵאלֹהָֽי׃ [4]They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.
[5]רַבּ֤וּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲרֹ֣ות רֹאשִׁי֮ שֹׂנְאַ֪י חִ֫נָּ֥ם עָצְמ֣וּ מַ֭צְמִיתַי אֹיְבַ֣י שֶׁ֑קֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־גָ֝זַ֗לְתִּי אָ֣ז אָשִֽׁיב׃ [5]O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from thee.
[6]אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּ֑י וְ֝אַשְׁמֹותַ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־נִכְחָֽדוּ׃ [6]Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek thee, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
[7]אַל־יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ בִ֨י ׀ קֹוֶיךָ֮ אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֗ה צְבָ֫אֹ֥ות אַל־יִכָּ֣לְמוּ בִ֣י מְבַקְשֶׁ֑יךָ אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [7]For I have suffered reproach for thy sake; shame has covered my face.
[8]כִּֽי־עָ֭לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֣אתִי חֶרְפָּ֑ה כִּסְּתָ֖ה כְלִמָּ֣ה פָנָֽי׃ [8]I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
[9]מ֖וּזָר הָיִ֣יתִי לְאֶחָ֑י וְ֝נָכְרִ֗י לִבְנֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃ [9]For the zeal of thine house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
[10]כִּֽי־קִנְאַ֣ת בֵּיתְךָ֣ אֲכָלָ֑תְנִי וְחֶרְפֹּ֥ות חֹ֝ורְפֶ֗יךָ נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃ [10]And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.
[11]וָאֶבְכֶּ֣ה בַצֹּ֣ום נַפְשִׁ֑י וַתְּהִ֖י לַחֲרָפֹ֣ות לִֽי׃ [11]And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.
[12]וָאֶתְּנָ֣ה לְבוּשִׁ֣י שָׂ֑ק וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמָשָֽׁל׃ [12]They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.
[13]יָשִׂ֣יחוּ בִ֭י יֹ֣שְׁבֵי שָׁ֑עַר וּ֝נְגִינֹ֗ות שֹׁותֵ֥י שֵׁכָֽר׃ [13]But I will cry to thee, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
[14]וַאֲנִ֤י תְפִלָּתִֽי־לְךָ֨ ׀ יְהוָ֡ה עֵ֤ת רָצֹ֗ון אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּרָב־חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בֶּאֱמֶ֥ת יִשְׁעֶֽךָ׃ [14]Save me from the mire, that I stick not in it: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
[15]הַצִּילֵ֣נִי מִ֭טִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּ֑עָה אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗י וּמִמַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־מָֽיִם׃ [15]Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
[16]אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵ֤נִי ׀ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת מַ֭יִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵ֣נִי מְצוּלָ֑ה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַ֖י בְּאֵ֣ר פִּֽיהָ׃ [16]Hear me, O Lord; for thy mercy is good: according to the multitude of thy compassions look upon me.
[17]עֲנֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה כִּי־טֹ֣וב חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ כְּרֹ֥ב רַ֝חֲמֶ֗יךָ פְּנֵ֣ה אֵלָֽי׃ [17]And turn not away thy face from thy servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
[18]וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נֶיךָ מֵֽעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־צַר־לִ֝֗י מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃ [18]Draw nigh to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
[19]קָרְבָ֣ה אֶל־נַפְשִׁ֣י גְאָלָ֑הּ לְמַ֖עַן אֹיְבַ֣י פְּדֵֽנִי׃ [19]For thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before thee.
[20]אַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִ֣י וּ֭בָשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִ֑י נֶ֝גְדְּךָ֗ כָּל־צֹורְרָֽי׃ [20]My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.
[21]חֶרְפָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׁבְרָ֥ה לִבִּ֗י וָֽאָ֫נ֥וּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּ֣ה לָנ֣וּד וָאַ֑יִן וְ֝לַמְנַחֲמִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א מָצָֽאתִי׃ [21]They gave me also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.
[22]וַיִּתְּנ֣וּ בְּבָרוּתִ֣י רֹ֑אשׁ וְ֝לִצְמָאִ֗י יַשְׁק֥וּנִי חֹֽמֶץ׃ [22]Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling-block.
[23]יְהִֽי־שֻׁלְחָנָ֣ם לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם לְפָ֑ח וְלִשְׁלֹומִ֥ים לְמֹוקֵֽשׁ׃ [23]Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.
[24]תֶּחְשַׁ֣כְנָה עֵ֭ינֵיהֶם מֵרְאֹ֑ות וּ֝מָתְנֵ֗יהֶם תָּמִ֥יד הַמְעַֽד׃ [24]Pour out thy wrath upon them, and let the fury of thine anger take hold on them.
[25]שְׁפָךְ־עֲלֵיהֶ֥ם זַעְמֶ֑ךָ וַחֲרֹ֥ון אַ֝פְּךָ֗ יַשִּׂיגֵֽם׃ [25]Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:
[26]תְּהִי־טִֽירָתָ֥ם נְשַׁמָּ֑ה בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יְהִ֥י יֹשֵֽׁב׃ [26]Because they persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
[27]כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּ֣יתָ רָדָ֑פוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאֹ֖וב חֲלָלֶ֣יךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃ [27]Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into thy righteousness.
[28]תְּֽנָה־עָ֭וֹן עַל־עֲוֹנָ֑ם וְאַל־יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ [28]Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.
[29]יִ֭מָּחֽוּ מִסֵּ֣פֶר חַיִּ֑ים וְעִ֥ם צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּ׃ [29]I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation of thy countenance has helped me.
[30]וַ֭אֲנִי עָנִ֣י וְכֹואֵ֑ב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ֖ אֱלֹהִ֣ים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃ [30]I will praise the name of my God with a song, I will magnify him with praise;
[31]אֲהַֽלְלָ֣ה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּשִׁ֑יר וַאֲגַדְּלֶ֥נּוּ בְתֹודָֽה׃ [31]and this shall please God more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.
[32]וְתִיטַ֣ב לַֽ֭יהוָה מִשֹּׁ֥ור פָּ֗ר מַקְרִ֥ן מַפְרִֽיס׃ [32]Let the poor see and rejoice; seek the Lord diligently, and ye shall live.
[33]רָא֣וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים יִשְׂמָ֑חוּ דֹּרְשֵׁ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וִיחִ֥י לְבַבְכֶֽם׃ [33]For the Lord hears the poor, and does not set at nought his fettered ones.
[34]כִּֽי־שֹׁמֵ֣עַ אֶל־אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶת־אֲ֝סִירָ֗יו לֹ֣א בָזָֽה׃ [34]Let the heavens and the earth raise him, the sea, and all things moving in them.
[35]יְֽ֭הַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם וָאָ֑רֶץ יַ֝מִּ֗ים וְֽכָל־רֹמֵ֥שׂ בָּֽם׃ [35]For God will save Sion, and the cities of Judea shall be built; and men shall dwell there, and inherit it.
[36]כִּ֤י אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ יֹ֘ושִׁ֤יעַ צִיֹּ֗ון וְ֭יִבְנֶה עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה וְיָ֥שְׁבוּ ם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃ [36]And the seed of his servants shall possess it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
[37]וְזֶ֣רַע עֲ֭בָדָיו יִנְחָל֑וּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵ֥י מֹ֗ו יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃ 37[No verse]
