KING JAMES BIBLESTUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֹור
2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.2 קַוֹּה קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה וַיֵּט אֵלַי וַיִּשְׁמַע שַׁוְעָתִי
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.3 וַיַּעֲלֵנִי ׀ מִבֹּור שָׁאֹון מִטִּיט הַיָּוֵן וַיָּקֶם עַל־סֶלַע רַגְלַי כֹּונֵן אֲשֻׁרָי
4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.4 וַיִּתֵּן בְּפִי ׀ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּה לֵאלֹהֵינוּ יִרְאוּ רַבִּים וְיִירָאוּ וְיִבְטְחוּ בַּיהוָה
5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.5 אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם יְהֹוָה מִבְטַחֹו וְלֹא־פָנָה אֶל־רְהָבִים וְשָׂטֵי כָזָב
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.6 רַבֹּות עָשִׂיתָ ׀ אַתָּה ׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ אֵין ׀ עֲרֹךְ אֵלֶיךָ אַגִּידָה וַאֲדַבֵּרָה עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּר
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,7 זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה ׀ לֹא־חָפַצְתָּ אָזְנַיִם כָּרִיתָ לִּי עֹולָה וַחֲטָאָה לֹא שָׁאָלְתָּ
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.8 אָז אָמַרְתִּי הִנֵּה־בָאתִי בִּמְגִלַּת־סֵפֶר כָּתוּב עָלָי
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.9 לַעֲשֹׂות־רְצֹונְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי וְתֹורָתְךָ בְּתֹוךְ מֵעָי
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.10 בִּשַּׂרְתִּי צֶדֶק ׀ בְּקָהָל רָב הִנֵּה פָתַי לֹא אֶכְלָא יְהוָה אַתָּה יָדָעְתָּ
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.11 צִדְקָתְךָ לֹא־כִסִּיתִי ׀ בְּתֹוךְ לִבִּי אֱמוּנָתְךָ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ אָמָרְתִּי לֹא־כִחַדְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ לְקָהָל רָב
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.12 אַתָּה יְהוָה לֹא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרוּנִי
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.13 כִּי אָפְפוּ־עָלַי ׀ רָעֹות עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּר הִשִּׂיגוּנִי עֲוֹנֹתַי וְלֹא־יָכֹלְתִּי לִרְאֹות עָצְמוּ מִשַּׂעֲרֹות רֹאשִׁי וְלִבִּי עֲזָבָנִי
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.14 רְצֵה יְהוָה לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.15 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ ׀ יַחַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי לִסְפֹּותָהּ יִסֹּגוּ אָחֹור וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִי
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.16 יָשֹׁמּוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בָּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים לִי הֶאָח ׀ הֶאָח
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.17 יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ ׀ בְּךָ כָּל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ יֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל יְהוָה אֹהֲבֵי תְּשׁוּעָתֶךָ
18 וַאֲנִי ׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון אֲדֹנָי יַחֲשָׁב לִי עֶזְרָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תְּאַחַר
