1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהִים כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

2 זַמְּרוּ כְבֽוֹד־שְׁמוֹ שִׂימוּ כָבוֹד תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Make zahmar ·musical praise· to the kavod ·weighty glory· of his name! Offer kavod ·weighty glory· and tehilah ·praise song·!

3 אִמְרוּ לֵאלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָא מַעֲשֶׂיךָ בְּרֹב עֻזְּךָ יְֽכַחֲשׁוּ לְךָ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃

Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

4 כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ ׀ יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְךָ וִיזַמְּרוּ־לָךְ יְזַמְּרוּ שִׁמְךָ סֶֽלָה׃

All the earth will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship you, and will make zahmar ·musical praise· to you; they will make zahmar ·musical praise· to your name.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

5 לְכוּ וּרְאוּ מִפְעֲלוֹת אֱלֹהִים נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה עַל־בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃

Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

6 הָפַךְ יָם ׀ לְֽיַבָּשָׁה בַּנָּהָר יַעַבְרוּ בְרָגֶל שָׁם נִשְׂמְחָה־בּֽוֹ׃

He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.

7 מֹשֵׁל בִּגְבוּרָתוֹ ׀ עוֹלָם עֵינָיו בַּגּוֹיִם תִּצְפֶּינָה הַסּוֹרְרִים ׀ אַל־[יָרוּמוּ] (ירימו) לָמוֹ סֶֽלָה׃

He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

8 בָּרְכוּ עַמִּים ׀ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהַשְׁמִיעוּ קוֹל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his tehilah ·praise song· be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·,

9 הַשָּׂם נַפְשֵׁנוּ בַּחַיִּים וְלֹֽא־נָתַן לַמּוֹט רַגְלֵֽנוּ׃

who preserves our life among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.

10 כִּֽי־בְחַנְתָּנוּ אֱלֹהִים צְרַפְתָּנוּ כִּצְרׇף־כָּֽסֶף׃

For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

11 הֲבֵאתָנוּ בַמְּצוּדָה שַׂמְתָּ מוּעָקָה בְמׇתְנֵֽינוּ׃

You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.

12 הִרְכַּבְתָּ אֱנוֹשׁ לְרֹאשֵׁנוּ בָּֽאנוּ־בָאֵשׁ וּבַמַּיִם וַתּוֹצִיאֵנוּ לָרְוָיָֽה׃

You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.

13 אָבוֹא בֵיתְךָ בְעוֹלוֹת אֲשַׁלֵּם לְךָ נְדָרָֽי׃

I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,

14 אֲשֶׁר־פָּצוּ שְׂפָתָי וְדִבֶּר־פִּי בַּצַּר־לִֽי׃

which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

15 עֹלוֹת מֵיחִים אַֽעֲלֶה־לָּךְ עִם־קְטֹרֶת אֵילִים אֶעֱשֶֽׂה בָקָר עִם־עַתּוּדִים סֶֽלָה׃

I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

16 לְכוּ־שִׁמְעוּ וַאֲסַפְּרָה כׇּל־יִרְאֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃

Come, and sh'ma ·hear obey·, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

17 אֵלָיו פִּֽי־קָרָאתִי וְרוֹמַם תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנִֽי׃

I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.

18 אָוֶן אִם־רָאִיתִי בְלִבִּי לֹא יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

If I cherished vain striving of iniquity in my heart, 'Adonay [Lord] would not have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.

19 אָכֵן שָׁמַע אֱלֹהִים הִקְשִׁיב בְּקוֹל תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

But most certainly, God has sh'ma ·heard obeyed·. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

20 בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־הֵסִיר תְּפִלָּתִי וְחַסְדּוֹ מֵאִתִּֽי׃

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
