- 1[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.] Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ תַּ֭שְׁחֵת לְדָוִ֣ד מִכְתָּ֑ם בְּבָרְח֥וֹ מִפְּנֵי שָׁ֝א֗וּל בַּמְּעָרָֽה
- 2I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.חָנֵּ֤נִי אֱלֹהִ֨ים חָנֵּ֗נִי כִּ֥י חָסָ֪יָה נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י וּבְצֵֽל כְּנָפֶ֥יךָ אֶחְסֶ֑ה עַ֝֗ד יַעֲבֹ֥ר הַוּֽוֹת
- 3He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.אֶ֭קְרָא לֵֽאלֹהִ֣ים עֶלְי֑וֹן לָ֝אֵ֗ל גֹּמֵ֥ר עָלָֽי
- 4My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.יִשְׁלַ֤ח מִשָּׁמַ֨יִם וְֽיוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נִי חֵרֵ֣ף שֹׁאֲפִ֣י סֶ֑לָה יִשְׁלַ֥ח אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים חַסְדּ֥וֹ וַאֲמִתּֽוֹ
- 5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.נַפְשִׁ֤י בְּת֥וֹךְ לְבָאִם֮ אֶשְׁכְּבָ֪ה לֹ֫הֲטִ֥ים בְּֽנֵי אָדָ֗ם שִׁ֭נֵּיהֶם חֲנִ֣ית וְחִצִּ֑ים וּ֝לְשׁוֹנָ֗ם חֶ֣רֶב חַדָּֽה
- 6They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.ר֣וּמָה עַל הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם אֱלֹהִ֑ים עַ֖ל כָּל הָאָ֣רֶץ כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ
- 7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.רֶ֤שֶׁת הֵכִ֣ינוּ לִפְעָמַי֮ כָּפַ֪ף נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י כָּר֣וּ לְפָנַ֣י שִׁיחָ֑ה נָפְל֖וּ בְתוֹכָ֣הּ סֶֽלָה
- 8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.נָ֘כ֤וֹן לִבִּ֣י אֱ֭לֹהִים נָכ֣וֹן לִבִּ֑י אָ֝שִׁ֗ירָה וַאֲזַמֵּֽרָה
- 9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.ע֤וּרָה כְבוֹדִ֗י ע֭וּרָֽה הַנֵּ֥בֶל וְכִנּ֗וֹר אָעִ֥ירָה שָּֽׁחַר
- 10For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.אוֹדְךָ֖ בָעַמִּ֥ים אֲדֹנָ֑י אֲ֝זַמֶּרְךָ֗ בַּל אֻמִּֽים
- 11Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.כִּֽי גָדֹ֣ל עַד שָׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְֽעַד שְׁחָקִ֥ים אֲמִתֶּֽךָ
