לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּ֥לֶת הַשַּׁ֗חַר מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֵלִ֣י אֵ֭לִי לָמָ֣ה עֲזַבְתָּ֑נִי רָחֹ֥וק מִֽ֝ישׁוּעָתִ֗י דִּבְרֵ֥י שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃
2 O God my I call out by day and not you answer and night and not repose [belongs] to me.
אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י אֶקְרָ֣א יֹ֖ומָם וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֶ֑ה וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֽוּמִיָּ֥ה לִֽי׃
3 And you [are] holy sitting [the] praises of Israel.
וְאַתָּ֥ה קָדֹ֑ושׁ יֹ֝ושֵׁ֗ב תְּהִלֹּ֥ות יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
4 In you they trusted ancestors our they trusted and you delivered them.
בְּ֭ךָ בָּטְח֣וּ אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בָּ֝טְח֗וּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמֹו׃
5 To you they cried out and they were delivered in you they trusted and not they were ashamed.
אֵלֶ֣יךָ זָעֲק֣וּ וְנִמְלָ֑טוּ בְּךָ֖ בָטְח֣וּ וְלֹא־בֹֽושׁוּ׃
6 And I [am] a worm and not a man a reproach of humankind and despised of a people.
וְאָנֹכִ֣י תֹולַ֣עַת וְלֹא־אִ֑ישׁ חֶרְפַּ֥ת אָ֝דָ֗ם וּבְז֥וּי עָֽם׃
7 All [those who] see me they mock me they make a separation with a lip they shake a head.
כָּל־רֹ֭אַי יַלְעִ֣גוּ לִ֑י יַפְטִ֥ירוּ בְ֝שָׂפָ֗ה יָנִ֥יעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
8 Roll to Yahweh let him rescue him let him deliver him for he delights in him.
