מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִ֑ד בִּ֝הְיֹותֹ֗ו בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר יְהוּדָֽה׃ אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨ ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃ 1
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
כֵּ֭ן בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ לִרְאֹ֥ות עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ וּכְבֹודֶֽךָ׃ 2
Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
כִּי־טֹ֣וב חַ֭סְדְּךָ מֵֽחַיִּ֗ים שְׂפָתַ֥י יְשַׁבְּחֽוּנְךָ׃ 3
For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי׃ 4
Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
כְּמֹ֤ו חֵ֣לֶב וָ֭דֶשֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע נַפְשִׁ֑י וְשִׂפְתֵ֥י רְ֝נָנֹ֗ות יְהַלֶּל־פִּֽי׃ 5
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
אִם־זְכַרְתִּ֥יךָ עַל־יְצוּעָ֑י בְּ֝אַשְׁמֻרֹ֗ות אֶהְגֶּה־בָּֽךְ׃ 6
Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ עֶזְרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י וּבְצֵ֖ל כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃ 7
For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
דָּבְקָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֣י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝֗י תָּמְכָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ 8
My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
וְהֵ֗מָּה לְ֭שֹׁואָה יְבַקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּֽתַחְתִּיֹּ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 9
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
יַגִּירֻ֥הוּ עַל־יְדֵי־חָ֑רֶב מְנָ֖ת שֻׁעָלִ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ׃ 10
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ֮ יִשְׂמַ֪ח בֵּאלֹ֫הִ֥ים יִ֭תְהַלֵּל כָּל־הַנִּשְׁבָּ֣ע בֹּ֑ו כִּ֥י יִ֝סָּכֵ֗ר פִּ֣י דֹֽובְרֵי־שָֽׁקֶר׃ 11
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
