1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

1לַמְנַצֵּ֤חַ ׀ לְעֶ֥בֶד יְהוָ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁ֤ר דִּבֶּ֨ר ׀ לַיהוָ֗ה אֶת־ דִּ֭בְרֵי הַשִּׁירָ֣ה הַזֹּ֑את בְּי֤וֹם הִֽצִּיל־ יְהוָ֘ה אוֹת֥וֹ מִכַּ֥ף כָּל־ אֹ֝יְבָ֗יו וּמִיַּ֥ד שָׁאֽוּל׃ וַיֹּאמַ֡ר אֶרְחָמְךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה חִזְקִֽי׃

2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

2יְהוָ֤ה ׀ סַֽלְעִ֥י וּמְצוּדָתִ֗י וּמְפַ֫לְטִ֥י אֵלִ֣י צ֭וּרִי אֶֽחֱסֶה־ בּ֑וֹ מָֽגִנִּ֥י וְקֶֽרֶן־ יִ֝שְׁעִ֗י מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃

3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

3מְ֭הֻלָּל אֶקְרָ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וּמִן־ אֹ֝יְבַ֗י אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃

4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

4אֲפָפ֥וּנִי חֶבְלֵי־ מָ֑וֶת וְֽנַחֲלֵ֖י בְלִיַּ֣עַל יְבַֽעֲתֽוּנִי׃

5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

5חֶבְלֵ֣י שְׁא֣וֹל סְבָב֑וּנִי קִ֝דְּמ֗וּנִי מ֣וֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃

6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

6בַּצַּר־ לִ֤י ׀ אֶֽקְרָ֣א יְהוָה֮ וְאֶל־ אֱלֹהַ֪י אֲשַׁ֫וֵּ֥עַ יִשְׁמַ֣ע מֵהֵיכָל֣וֹ קוֹלִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֤יו ׀ תָּב֬וֹא בְאָזְנָֽיו׃

7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

7וַתִּגְעַ֬שׁ וַתִּרְעַ֨שׁ ׀ הָאָ֗רֶץ וּמוֹסְדֵ֣י הָרִ֣ים יִרְגָּ֑זוּ וַ֝יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ כִּי־ חָ֥רָה לֽוֹ׃

8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

8עָ֘לָ֤ה עָשָׁ֨ן ׀ בְּאַפּ֗וֹ וְאֵשׁ־ מִפִּ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל גֶּ֝חָלִ֗ים בָּעֲר֥וּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

9וַיֵּ֣ט שָׁ֭מַיִם וַיֵּרַ֑ד וַ֝עֲרָפֶ֗ל תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽיו׃

10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

10וַיִּרְכַּ֣ב עַל־ כְּ֭רוּב וַיָּעֹ֑ף וַ֝יֵּ֗דֶא עַל־ כַּנְפֵי־ רֽוּחַ׃

11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

11יָ֤שֶׁת חֹ֨שֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְר֗וֹ סְבִֽיבוֹתָ֥יו סֻכָּת֑וֹ חֶשְׁכַת־ מַ֝֗יִם עָבֵ֥י שְׁחָקִֽים׃

12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

12מִנֹּ֗גַהּ נֶ֫גְדּ֥וֹ עָבָ֥יו עָבְר֑וּ בָּ֝רָ֗ד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־ אֵֽשׁ׃

13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

13וַיַּרְעֵ֬ם בַּשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה וְ֭עֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן קֹל֑וֹ בָּ֝רָ֗ד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־ אֵֽשׁ׃

14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

14וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח חִ֭צָּיו וַיְפִיצֵ֑ם וּבְרָקִ֥ים רָ֝ב וַיְהֻמֵּֽם׃

15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

15וַיֵּ֤רָא֨וּ ׀ אֲפִ֥יקֵי מַ֗יִם וַֽיִּגָּלוּ֮ מוֹסְד֪וֹת תֵּ֫בֵ֥ל מִגַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝נִּשְׁמַ֗ת ר֣וּחַ אַפֶּֽךָ׃

16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

16יִשְׁלַ֣ח מִ֭מָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵ֑נִי יַֽ֝מְשֵׁ֗נִי מִמַּ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃

17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

17יַצִּילֵ֗נִי מֵאֹיְבִ֥י עָ֑ז וּ֝מִשֹּׂנְאַ֗י כִּֽי־ אָמְצ֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

18יְקַדְּמ֥וּנִי בְיוֹם־ אֵידִ֑י וַֽיְהִי־ יְהוָ֖ה לְמִשְׁעָ֣ן לִֽי׃

19He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

19וַיּוֹצִיאֵ֥נִי לַמֶּרְחָ֑ב יְ֝חַלְּצֵ֗נִי כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בִּֽי׃

20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

20יִגְמְלֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה כְּצִדְקִ֑י כְּבֹ֥ר יָ֝דַ֗י יָשִׁ֥יב לִֽי׃

21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

21כִּֽי־ שָׁ֭מַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־ רָ֝שַׁ֗עְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃

22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

22כִּ֣י כָל־ מִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו לְנֶגְדִּ֑י וְ֝חֻקֹּתָ֗יו לֹא־ אָסִ֥יר מֶֽנִּי׃

23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

23וָאֱהִ֣י תָמִ֣ים עִמּ֑וֹ וָ֝אֶשְׁתַּמֵּ֗ר מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃

24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

24וַיָּֽשֶׁב־ יְהוָ֣ה לִ֣י כְצִדְקִ֑י כְּבֹ֥ר יָ֝דַ֗י לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃

25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

25עִם־ חָסִ֥יד תִּתְחַסָּ֑ד עִם־ גְּבַ֥ר תָּ֝מִ֗ים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃

26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

26עִם־ נָבָ֥ר תִּתְבָּרָ֑ר וְעִם־ עִ֝קֵּ֗שׁ תִּתְפַּתָּֽל׃

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

27כִּֽי־ אַ֭תָּה עַם־ עָנִ֣י תוֹשִׁ֑יעַ וְעֵינַ֖יִם רָמ֣וֹת תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃

28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

28כִּֽי־ אַ֭תָּה תָּאִ֣יר נֵרִ֑י יְהוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י יַגִּ֥יהַּ חָשְׁכִּֽי׃

29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

29כִּֽי־ בְ֭ךָ אָרֻ֣ץ גְּד֑וּד וּ֝בֵֽאלֹהַ֗י אֲדַלֶּג־ שֽׁוּר׃

30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

30הָאֵל֮ תָּמִ֪ים דַּ֫רְכּ֥וֹ אִמְרַֽת־ יְהוָ֥ה צְרוּפָ֑ה מָגֵ֥ן ה֝֗וּא לְכֹ֤ל ׀ הַחֹסִ֬ים בּֽוֹ׃

31For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

31כִּ֤י מִ֣י אֱ֭לוֹהַּ מִבַּלְעֲדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וּמִ֥י צ֝֗וּר זוּלָתִ֥י אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

32הָ֭אֵל הַמְאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חָ֑יִל וַיִּתֵּ֖ן תָּמִ֣ים דַּרְכִּֽי׃

33He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

33מְשַׁוֶּ֣ה רַ֭גְלַי כָּאַיָּל֑וֹת וְעַ֥ל בָּ֝מֹתַ֗י יַעֲמִידֵֽנִי׃

34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

34מְלַמֵּ֣ד יָ֭דַי לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וְֽנִחֲתָ֥ה קֶֽשֶׁת־ נְ֝חוּשָׁ֗ה זְרוֹעֹתָֽי׃

35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

35וַתִּתֶּן־ לִי֮ מָגֵ֪ן יִ֫שְׁעֶ֥ךָ וִֽימִינְךָ֥ תִסְעָדֵ֑נִי וְֽעַנְוַתְךָ֥ תַרְבֵּֽנִי׃

36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

36תַּרְחִ֣יב צַעֲדִ֣י תַחְתָּ֑י וְלֹ֥א מָ֝עֲד֗וּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃

37I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

37אֶרְדּ֣וֹף א֭וֹיְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵ֑ם וְלֹֽא־ אָ֝שׁוּב‪‬ עַד־ כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃

38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

38אֶ֭מְחָצֵם וְלֹא־ יֻ֣כְלוּ ק֑וּם יִ֝פְּל֗וּ תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽי׃

39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

39וַתְּאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חַ֭יִל לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה תַּכְרִ֖יעַ קָמַ֣י תַּחְתָּֽי׃

40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

40וְֽאֹיְבַ֗י נָתַ֣תָּה לִּ֣י עֹ֑רֶף וּ֝מְשַׂנְאַ֗י אַצְמִיתֵֽם׃

41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

41יְשַׁוְּע֥וּ וְאֵין־ מוֹשִׁ֑יעַ עַל־ יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְלֹ֣א עָנָֽם׃

42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

42וְֽאֶשְׁחָקֵ֗ם כְּעָפָ֥ר עַל־ פְּנֵי־ ר֑וּחַ כְּטִ֖יט חוּצ֣וֹת אֲרִיקֵֽם׃

43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

43תְּפַלְּטֵנִי֮ מֵרִ֪יבֵ֫י עָ֥ם תְּ֭שִׂימֵנִי לְרֹ֣אשׁ גּוֹיִ֑ם עַ֖ם לֹא־ יָדַ֣עְתִּי יַֽעַבְדֽוּנִי׃

44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

44לְשֵׁ֣מַֽע אֹ֭זֶן יִשָּׁ֣מְעוּ לִ֑י בְּנֵֽי־ נֵ֝כָ֗ר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־ לִֽי׃

45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

45בְּנֵי־ נֵכָ֥ר יִבֹּ֑לוּ וְ֝יַחְרְג֗וּ מִֽמִּסְגְּרֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

46The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

46חַי־ יְ֭הוָה וּבָר֣וּךְ צוּרִ֑י וְ֝יָר֗וּם אֱלוֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃

47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

47הָאֵ֗ל הַנּוֹתֵ֣ן נְקָמ֣וֹת לִ֑י וַיַּדְבֵּ֖ר עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽי׃

48He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

48מְפַלְּטִ֗י מֵאֹ֫יְבָ֥י אַ֣ף מִן־ קָ֭מַי תְּרוֹמְמֵ֑נִי מֵאִ֥ישׁ חָ֝מָ֗ס תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃

49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

49עַל־ כֵּ֤ן ׀ אוֹדְךָ֖ בַגּוֹיִ֥ם ׀ יְהוָ֑ה וּלְשִׁמְךָ֥ אֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃

50Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

50[מגדל] (מַגְדִּיל֮) יְשׁוּע֪וֹת מַ֫לְכּ֥וֹ וְעֹ֤שֶׂה חֶ֨סֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיח֗וֹ לְדָוִ֥ד וּלְזַרְע֗וֹ עַד־ עוֹלָֽם׃
