STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־ [יְדִיתוּן כ] (יְדוּתוּן ק) לְאָסָף מִזְמֹור	1 [For the choirmaster . . . Jeduthun Of Asaph Psalm] I cry to God in distress, I cry to God and he hearsme.
2 קֹולִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְאֶצְעָקָה קֹולִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים וְהַאֲזִין אֵלָי	2 In the day of my distress I sought the Lord; al night I tirelessly stretched out my hands, my heartrefused to be consoled.
3 בְּיֹום צָרָתִי אֲדֹנָי דָּרָשְׁתִּי יָדִי ׀ לַיְלָה נִגְּרָה וְלֹא תָפוּג מֵאֲנָה הִנָּחֵם נַפְשִׁי	3 I sigh as I think of God, my spirit faints away as I ponder on him. Pause
4 אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶהֱמָיָה אָשִׂיחָה ׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּף רוּחִי סֶלָה	4 You kept me from closing my eyes, I was too distraught to speak;
5 אָחַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרֹות עֵינָי נִפְעַמְתִּי וְלֹא אֲדַבֵּר	5 I thought of former times, years long past
6 חִשַּׁבְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם נֹות עֹולָמִים	6 I recalled; through the night I ponder in my heart, as I reflect, my spirit asks this question:
7 אֶזְכְּרָה נְגִינָתִי בַּלָּיְלָה עִם־לְבָבִי אָשִׂיחָה וַיְחַפֵּשׂ רוּחִי	7 Is the Lord's rejection final? Will he never show favour again?
8 הַלְעֹולָמִים יִזְנַח ׀ אֲדֹנָי וְלֹא־יֹסִיף לִרְצֹות עֹוד	8 Is his faithful love gone for ever? Has his Word come to an end for al time?
9 הֶאָפֵס לָנֶצַח חַסְדֹּו גָּמַר אֹמֶר לְדֹר וָדֹר	9 Does God forget to show mercy? In anger does he shut off his tenderness?Pause
10 הֲשָׁכַח חַנֹּות אֵל אִם־קָפַץ בְּאַף רַחֲמָיו סֶלָה	10 And I said, 'This is what wounds me, the right hand of the Most High has lost its strength.'
11 וָאֹמַר חַלֹּותִי הִיא נֹות יְמִין עֶלְיֹון	11 Remembering Yahweh's great deeds, remembering your wonders in the past,
12 [אַזְכִּיר כ] (אֶזְכֹּור ק) מַעַלְלֵי־יָהּ כִּי־אֶזְכְּרָה מִקֶּדֶם פִּלְאֶךָ	12 I reflect on al that you did, I ponder all your great deeds.
13 וְהָגִיתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶךָ וּבַעֲלִילֹותֶיךָ אָשִׂיחָה	13 God, your ways are holy! What god is as great as our God?
14 אֱלֹהִים בַּקֹּדֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּךָ מִי־אֵל גָּדֹול כֵּאלֹהִים	14 You are the God who does marvel ous deeds, brought nations to acknowledge your power,
15 אַתָּה הָאֵל עֹשֵׂה פֶלֶא הֹודַעְתָּ בָעַמִּים עֻזֶּךָ	15 with your own arm redeeming your people, the children of Jacob and Joseph.Pause
16 גָּאַלְתָּ בִּזְרֹועַ עַמֶּךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹב וְיֹוסֵף סֶלָה	16 When the waters saw you, God, when the waters saw you they writhed in anguish, the very depthsshook with fear.
17 רָאוּךָ מַּיִם ׀ אֱ‍לֹהִים רָאוּךָ מַּיִם יָחִילוּ אַף יִרְגְּזוּ תְהֹמֹות	17 The clouds pelted down water, the sky thundered, your arrows shot back and forth.
18 זֹרְמוּ מַיִם ׀ עָבֹות קֹול נָתְנוּ שְׁחָקִים אַף־חֲצָצֶיךָ יִתְהַלָּכוּ	18 The rol ing of your thunder was heard, your lightning-flashes lit up the world, the earth shuddered andshook.
19 קֹול רַעַמְךָ ׀ בַּגַּלְגַּל הֵאִירוּ בְרָקִים תֵּבֵל רָגְזָה וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ	19 Your way led over the sea, your path over the countless waters, and none could trace your footsteps.
20 בַּיָּם דַּרְכֶּךָ [וּשְׁבִילֶיךָ כ] (וּשְׁבִילְךָ ק) בְּמַיִם רַבִּים וְעִקְּבֹותֶיךָ לֹא נֹדָעוּ	20 You guided your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
21 נָחִיתָ כַצֹּאן עַמֶּךָ בְּיַד־מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן
