[A Psalm of instruction for Ætham the Israelite.]
[1]מַ֝שְׂכִּ֗יל לְאֵיתָ֥ן הָֽאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ [1]I will sing of thy mercies, O Lord, for ever: I will declare thy truth with my mouth to all generations.
[2]חַֽסְדֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה עֹולָ֣ם אָשִׁ֑ירָה לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֓ר ׀ אֹודִ֖יעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ בְּפִֽי׃ [2]For thou hast said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy truth shall be established in the heavens.
[3]כִּֽי־אָמַ֗רְתִּי עֹ֭ולָם חֶ֣סֶד יִבָּנֶ֑ה שָׁמַ֓יִם ׀ תָּכִ֖ן אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ בָהֶֽם׃ [3]I made a covenant with my chosen ones, I sware unto David my servant.
[4]כָּרַ֣תִּֽי בְ֭רִית לִבְחִירִ֑י נִ֝שְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי לְדָוִ֥ד עַבְדִּֽי׃ [4]I will establish thy seed for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Pause.
[5]עַד־עֹ֭ולָם אָכִ֣ין זַרְעֶ֑ךָ וּבָנִ֨יתִי לְדֹר־וָדֹ֖ור כִּסְאֲךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃ [5]The heavens shall declare thy wonders, O Lord; and thy truth in the assembly of the saints.
[6]וְיֹ֘וד֤וּ שָׁמַ֣יִם פִּלְאֲךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה אַף־אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בִּקְהַ֥ל קְדֹשִֽׁים׃ [6]For who in the heavens shall be compared to the Lord? and who shall be likened to the Lord among the sons of God?
[7]כִּ֤י מִ֣י בַ֭שַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹ֣ךְ לַיהוָ֑ה יִדְמֶ֥ה לַ֝יהוָ֗ה בִּבְנֵ֥י אֵלִים ׃ [7]God is glorified in the council of the saints; great and terrible toward all that are round about him.
[8]אֵ֣ל נַ֭עֲרָץ בְּסֹוד־קְדֹשִׁ֣ים רַבָּ֑ה וְ֝נֹורָ֗א עַל־כָּל־סְבִיבָֽיו׃ [8]O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.
[9]יְהוָ֤ה ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צְבָאֹ֗ות מִֽי־כָֽמֹ֖וךָ חֲסִ֥ין ׀ יָ֑הּ וֶ֝אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ֗ סְבִיבֹותֶֽיךָ׃ [9]Thou rulest the power of the sea; and thou calmest the tumult of its waves.
[10]אַתָּ֣ה מֹ֭ושֵׁל בְּגֵא֣וּת הַיָּ֑ם בְּשֹׂ֥וא גַ֝לָּ֗יו אַתָּ֥ה תְשַׁבְּחֵֽם׃ [10]Thou has brought down the proud as one that is slain; and with the arm of thy power thou has scattered thine enemies.
[11]אַתָּ֤ה דִכִּ֣אתָ כֶחָלָ֣ל רָ֑הַב בִּזְרֹ֥ועַ עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ פִּזַּ֥רְתָּ אֹויְבֶֽיךָ׃ [11]The heavens are thine, and the earth is thine: thou hast founded the world, and the fullness of it.
[12]לְךָ֣ מַיִם אַף־לְךָ֥ אָ֑רֶץ תֵּבֵ֥ל וּ֝מְלֹאָ֗הּ אַתָּ֥ה יְסַדְתָּֽם׃ [12]Thou hast created the north and the west: Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
[13]צָפֹ֣ון וְ֭יָמִין אַתָּ֣ה בְרָאתָ֑ם תָּבֹ֥ור וְ֝חֶרְמֹ֗ון בְּשִׁמְךָ֥ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃ [13]Thine is the mighty arm: let thy hand be strengthened, let thy right hand be exalted.
[14]לְךָ֣ זְ֭רֹועַ עִם־גְּבוּרָ֑ה תָּעֹ֥ז יָ֝דְךָ֗ תָּר֥וּם יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ [14]Justice and judgment are the establishment of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
[15]צֶ֣דֶק וּ֭מִשְׁפָּט מְכֹ֣ון כִּסְאֶ֑ךָ חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת יְֽקַדְּמ֥וּ פָנֶֽיךָ׃ [15]Blessed is the people that knows the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
[16]אַשְׁרֵ֣י הָ֭עָם יֹודְעֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה בְּֽאֹור־פָּנֶ֥יךָ יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ [16]And in thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
[17]בְּ֭שִׁמְךָ יְגִיל֣וּן כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ יָרֽוּמוּ׃ [17]For thou art the boast of their strength; and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted,
[18]כִּֽי־תִפְאֶ֣רֶת עֻזָּ֣מֹו אָ֑תָּה וּ֝בִרְצֹנְךָ֗ [תָּרִים כ] (תָּר֥וּם ק) קַרְנֵֽנוּ׃ [18]for our help is of the Lord; and of the Holy One of Israel, our king.
[19]כִּ֣י לַֽ֭יהוָה מָֽגִנֵּ֑נוּ וְלִקְדֹ֖ושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מַלְכֵּֽנוּ׃ [19]Then thou spokest in vision to thy children, and saidst, I have laid help on a mighty one; I have exalted one chosen out of my people.
[20]אָ֤ז דִּבַּ֥רְתָּֽ־בְחָ֡זֹון לַֽחֲסִידֶ֗יךָ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר שִׁוִּ֣יתִי עֵ֭זֶר עַל־גִּבֹּ֑ור הֲרִימֹ֖ותִי בָח֣וּר מֵעָֽם׃ [20]I have found David my servant; I have anointed him by my holy mercy.
[21]מָ֭צָאתִי דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֑י בְּשֶׁ֖מֶן קָדְשִׁ֣י מְשַׁחְתִּֽיו׃ [21]For my hand shall support him; and mine arm shall strengthen him.
[22]אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָ֭דִי תִּכֹּ֣ון עִמֹּ֑ו אַף־זְרֹועִ֥י תְאַמְּצֶֽנּוּ׃ [22]The enemy shall have no advantage against him; and the son of transgression shall not hurt him again.
[23]לֹֽא־יַשִּׁ֣א אֹויֵ֣ב בֹּ֑ו וּבֶן־עַ֝וְלָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽנּוּ׃ [23]And I will hew down his foes before him, and put to flight those that hate him.
[24]וְכַתֹּותִ֣י מִפָּנָ֣יו צָרָ֑יו וּמְשַׂנְאָ֥יו אֶגֹּֽוף׃ [24]But my truth and my mercy shall be with him; and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
[25]וֶֽאֶֽמוּנָתִ֣י וְחַסְדִּ֣י עִמֹּ֑ו וּ֝בִשְׁמִ֗י תָּר֥וּם קַרְנֹֽו׃ [25]And I will set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
[26]וְשַׂמְתִּ֣י בַיָּ֣ם יָדֹ֑ו וּֽבַנְּהָרֹ֥ות יְמִינֹֽו׃ [26]He shall call upon me, saying, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation.
[27]ה֣וּא יִ֭קְרָאֵנִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אֵ֝לִ֗י וְצ֣וּר יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ [27]And I will make him my first-born, higher than the kings of the earth.
[28]אַף־אָ֭נִי בְּכֹ֣ור אֶתְּנֵ֑הוּ עֶ֝לְיֹ֗ון לְמַלְכֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ [28]I will keep my mercy for him for ever, and my covenant shall be firm with him.
[29]לְ֭עֹולָ֗ם [אֶשְׁמֹור־ כ] (אֶשְׁמָר־לֹ֣ו ק) חַסְדִּ֑י וּ֝בְרִיתִ֗י נֶאֱמֶ֥נֶת לֹֽו׃ [29]And I will establish his seed for ever and ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
[30]וְשַׂמְתִּ֣י לָעַ֣ד זַרְעֹ֑ו וְ֝כִסְאֹ֗ו כִּימֵ֥י שָׁמָֽיִם׃ [30]If his children should forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
[31]אִם־יַֽעַזְב֣וּ בָ֭נָיו תֹּורָתִ֑י וּ֝בְמִשְׁפָּטַ֗י לֹ֣א יֵלֵכֽוּן׃ [31]if they should profane my ordinances, and not keep my commandments;
[32]אִם־חֻקֹּתַ֥י יְחַלֵּ֑לוּ וּ֝מִצְוֹתַ֗י לֹ֣א יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ׃ [32]I will visit their transgressions with a rod, and their sins with scourges.
[33]וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י בְשֵׁ֣בֶט פִּשְׁעָ֑ם וּבִנְגָעִ֥ים עֲוֹנָֽם׃ [33]But my mercy I will not utterly remove from him, nor wrong my truth.
[34]וְ֭חַסְדִּי לֹֽא־אָפִ֣יר מֵֽעִמֹּ֑ו וְלֹֽא־אֲ֝שַׁקֵּ֗ר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִֽי׃ [34]Neither will I by any means profane my covenant; and I will not make void the things that proceed out of my lips.
[35]לֹא־אֲחַלֵּ֥ל בְּרִיתִ֑י וּמֹוצָ֥א פָתַ֗י לֹ֣א אֲשַׁנֶּֽה׃ [35]Once have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie to David.
[36]אַ֭חַת נִשְׁבַּ֣עְתִּי בְקָדְשִׁ֑י אִֽם־לְדָוִ֥ד אֲכַזֵּֽב׃ [36]His see shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me;
[37]זַ֭רְעֹו לְעֹולָ֣ם יִהְיֶ֑ה וְכִסְאֹ֖ו כַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ נֶגְדִּֽי׃ [37]and as the moon that is established for ever, and as the faithful witness in heaven. Pause.
[38]כְּ֭יָרֵחַ יִכֹּ֣ון עֹולָ֑ם וְעֵ֥ד בַּ֝שַּׁ֗חַק נֶאֱמָ֥ן סֶֽלָה׃ [38]But thou hast cast off and set at nought, thou has rejected thine anointed.
[39]וְאַתָּ֣ה זָ֭נַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָ֑ס הִ֝תְעַבַּ֗רְתָּ עִם־מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ [39]Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant; thou has profaned his sanctuary, casting it to the ground.
[40]נֵ֭אַרְתָּה בְּרִ֣ית עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ חִלַּ֖לְתָּ לָאָ֣רֶץ נִזְרֹֽו׃ [40]Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast made his strong holds a terror.
[41]פָּרַ֥צְתָּ כָל־גְּדֵרֹתָ֑יו שַׂ֖מְתָּ מִבְצָרָ֣יו מְחִתָּה ׃ [41]All that go by the way have spoiled him: he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
[42]סֻּהוּ כָּל־עֹ֣בְרֵי דָ֑רֶךְ הָיָ֥ה חֶ֝רְפָּ֗ה לִשְׁכֵנָֽיו׃ [42]Thou hast exalted the right hand of his enemies; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
[43]הֲ֭רִימֹותָ יְמִ֣ין צָרָ֑יו הִ֝שְׂמַ֗חְתָּ כָּל־אֹויְבָֽיו׃ [43]Thou hast turned back the help of his sword, and hast not helped him in the battle.
[44]אַף־תָּ֭שִׁיב צ֣וּר חַרְבֹּ֑ו וְלֹ֥א הֲ֝קֵימֹתֹ֗ו בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ [44]Thou hast deprived him of glory: thou hast broken down his throne to the ground.
[45]הִשְׁבַּ֥תָּ מִטְּהָרֹ֑ו וְ֝כִסְאֹ֗ו לָאָ֥רֶץ מִגַּֽרְתָּה׃ [45]Thou hast shortened the days of his throne: thou hast poured shame upon him. Pause.
[46]הִ֭קְצַרְתָּ יְמֵ֣י עֲלוּמָ֑יו הֶֽעֱטִ֨יתָ עָלָ֖יו בּוּשָׁ֣ה סֶֽלָה׃ [46]How long, O Lord, wilt thou turn away, for ever? shall thine anger flame out as fire?
[47]עַד־מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּסָּתֵ֣ר לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֖ר כְּמֹו־אֵ֣שׁ חֲמָתֶֽךָ׃ [47]Remember what my being is: for hast thou created all the sons of men in vain?
[48]זְכָר־אֲנִ֥י מֶה־חָ֑לֶד עַל־מַהשָּׁ֝֗־וְא בָּרָ֥אתָ כָל־בְּנֵי־אָדָֽם׃ [48]What man is there who shall live, and not see death? shall any one deliver his soul from the hand of Hades? Pause.
[49]מִ֤י גֶ֣בֶר יִֽ֭חְיֶה וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֶה־מָּ֑וֶת יְמַלֵּ֨ט נַפְשֹׁ֖ו מִיַּד־שְׁאֹ֣ול סֶֽלָה׃ [49]Where are thine ancient mercies, O Lord, which thou swarest to David in thy truth?
[50]אַיֵּ֤ה ׀ חֲסָדֶ֖יךָ הָרִאשֹׁנִ֥ים ׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י נִשְׁבַּ֥עְתָּ לְ֝דָוִ֗ד בֶּאֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃ [50]Remember, O Lord, the reproach of thy servants, which I have borne in my bosom, even the reproach of many nations;
[51]זְכֹ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי חֶרְפַּ֣ת עֲבָדֶ֑יךָ שְׂאֵתִ֥י בְ֝חֵיקִ֗י כָּל־רַבִּ֥ים עַמִּֽים׃ [51]wherewith thine enemies have reviled, O Lord: wherewith they have reviled the recompense of thine anointed.
[52]אֲשֶׁ֤ר חֵרְפ֖וּ אֹויְבֶ֥יךָ ׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר חֵ֝רְפ֗וּ עִקְּבֹ֥ות מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ [52]Blessed be the Lord for ever. So be it, so be it.
[53]בָּר֖וּךְ יְהוָ֥ה לְ֝עֹולָ֗ם אָ֘מֵ֥ן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ 53[No verse]
