1 קְרָא־נָא הֲיֵשׁ עֹונֶךָּ וְאֶל־מִי מִקְּדֹשִׁים תִּפְנֶה	1 Therefore call, if there are any who will respond to you, and turn to one or another of the saints.
2 כִּי־לֶאֱוִיל יַהֲרָג־כָּעַשׂ וּפֹתֶה תָּמִית קִנְאָה	2 Truly, anger condemns the foolish to death, and envy kills the petty.
3 אֲ‍נִי־רָאִיתִי אֱוִיל מַשְׁרִישׁ וָאֶקֹּוב נָוֵהוּ פִתְאֹם	3 I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I have cursed his excellence without hesitation.
4 יִרְחֲקוּ בָנָיו מִיֶּשַׁע וְיִדַּכְּאוּ בַשַּׁעַר וְאֵין מַצִּיל	4 His sons will be far from prosperity and will be crushed at the gate, and there will be none who can rescue them.
5 אֲשֶׁר קְצִירֹו ׀ רָעֵב יֹאכֵל וְאֶל־מִצִּנִּים יִקָּחֵהוּ וְשָׁאַף צַמִּים חֵילָם	5 Their harvest, the starving will eat. The armed man will rob him, and the thirsty will drink his resources.
6 כִּי ׀ לֹא־יֵצֵא מֵעָפָר אָוֶן וּמֵאֲדָמָה לֹא־יִצְמַח עָמָל	6 Nothing on earth occurs without a reason, and sorrow does not rise from the earth.

8 אוּלָם אֲנִי אֶדְרֹשׁ אֶל־אֵל וְאֶל־אֱלֹהִים אָשִׂים דִּבְרָתִי	8 Therefore, because of this, I will beg the Lord, and place my eloquence before God.
9 עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות וְאֵין חֵקֶר נִפְלָאֹות עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּר	9 He does great and unfathomable and miraculous things without number.
10 הַנֹּתֵן מָטָר עַל־פְּנֵי־אָרֶץ וְשֹׁלֵחַ מַיִם עַל־פְּנֵי חוּצֹות	10 He gives rain over the face of the earth and irrigates all things with the waters.
11 לָשׂוּם שְׁפָלִים לְמָרֹום וְקֹדְרִים שָׂגְבוּ יֶשַׁע	11 He places the humble on high and encourages the grieving towards health.
12 מֵפֵר מַחְשְׁבֹות עֲרוּמִים וְלֹא־תַעֲשֶׂינָה יְדֵיהֶם תּוּשִׁיָּה	12 He dispels the thoughts of the spiteful, lest their hands be able to complete what they had begun.

14 יֹומָם יְפַגְּשׁוּ־חֹשֶׁךְ וְכַלַּיְלָה יְמַשְׁשׁוּ בַצָּהֳרָיִם	14 They will encounter darkness in the daytime, and they will grope at midday just as in the night.
15 וַיֹּשַׁע מֵחֶרֶב מִפִּיהֶם וּמִיַּד חָזָק אֶבְיֹון	15 Thereafter, he will act to save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
16 וַתְּהִי לַדַּל תִּקְוָה וְעֹלָתָה קָפְצָה פִּיהָ	16 And there will be hope for those in need, for iniquity will diminish its speech.
17 הִנֵּה אַשְׁרֵי אֱנֹושׁ יֹוכִחֶנּוּ אֱלֹוהַּ וּמוּסַר דַּי אַל־תִּמְאָס	17 Blessed is the man whom God corrects; therefore, do not reject the chastisement of the Lord.
18 כִּי הוּא יַכְאִיב וְיֶחְבָּשׁ יִמְחַץ [וְיָדֹו כ] (וְיָדָיו ק) תִּרְפֶּינָה	18 For he wounds and he cures; he strikes and his hands will heal.
19 בְּשֵׁשׁ צָרֹות יַצִּילֶךָּ וּבְשֶׁבַע ׀ לֹא־יִגַּע בְּךָ רָע	19 He will deliver you into six tribulations, and in the seventh, evil will not touch you.
20 בְּרָעָב פָּדְךָ מִמָּוֶת וּבְמִלְחָמָה מִידֵי חָרֶב	20 During famine, he will rescue you from death, and during war, from the hand of the sword.

22 לְשֹׁד וּלְכָפָן תִּשְׂחָק וּמֵחַיַּת הָאָרֶץ אַל־תִּירָא	22 In desolation and in famine, you will laugh, and you will not dread the beasts of the earth.
23 כִּי עִם־אַבְנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בְרִיתֶךָ וְחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה הָשְׁלְמָה־לָךְ	23 For you are in harmony with the stones of the land, and the beasts of the earth will make peace with you.

26 תָּבֹוא בְכֶלַח אֱלֵי־קָבֶר כַּעֲלֹות גָּדִישׁ בְּעִתֹּו	26 You will enter the grave with abundance, just as a crop of wheat is gathered in its time.
27 הִנֵּה־זֹאת חֲקַרְנוּהָ כֶּן־הִיא מָעֶנָּה וְאַתָּה דַע־לָךְ׃ פ	27 Behold, this is just as we have found it, which you have heard; walk it through your mind.
