STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לְעֶבֶד יְהוָה לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ׀ לַיהוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיֹום הִצִּיל־יְהוָה אֹותֹו מִכַּף כָּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִיַּד שָׁאוּל	1 Unto the end, for David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hands of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. [2 Kings 22.]
2 וַיֹּאמַר אֶרְחָמְךָ יְהוָה חִזְקִי	2 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
3 יְהוָה ׀ סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אֵלִי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בֹּו מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן־יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי	3 The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
4 מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וּמִן־אֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵׁעַ	4 Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5 אֲפָפוּנִי חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וְנַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתוּנִי	5 The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
6 חֶבְלֵי שְׁאֹול סְבָבוּנִי קִדְּמוּנִי מֹוקְשֵׁי מָוֶת	6 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.
7 בַּצַּר־לִי ׀ אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֲשַׁוֵּעַ יִשְׁמַע מֵהֵיכָלֹו קֹולִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי לְפָנָיו ׀ תָּבֹוא בְאָזְנָיו	7 In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.
8 וַתִּגְעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ ׀ הָאָרֶץ וּמֹוסְדֵי הָרִים יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּי־חָרָה לֹו	8 The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
9 עָלָה עָשָׁן ׀ בְּאַפֹּו וְאֵשׁ־מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ	9 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
10 וַיֵּט מַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָיו	10 He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
11 וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּדֶא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רוּחַ	11 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
12 יָשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְרֹו סְבִיבֹותָיו סֻכָּתֹו חֶשְׁכַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִים	12 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
13 מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדֹּו עָבָיו עָבְרוּ בָּרָד וְגַחֲלֵי־אֵשׁ	13 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
14 וַיַּרְעֵם בַּשָּׁמַיִם ׀ יְהוָה וְעֶלְיֹון יִתֵּן קֹלֹו בָּרָד וְגַחֲלֵי־אֵשׁ	14 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.
15 וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצָּיו וַיְפִיצֵם וּבְרָקִים רָב וַיְהֻמֵּם	15 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
16 וַיֵּרָאוּ ׀ אֲפִיקֵי מַיִם וַיִּגָּלוּ מֹוסְדֹות תֵּבֵל מִגַּעֲרָתְךָ יְהוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפֶּךָ	16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered: At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
17 יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרֹום יִקָּחֵנִי יַמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּים	17 He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.
18 יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז וּמִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי־אָמְצוּ מִמֶּנִּי	18 He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 יְקַדְּמוּנִי בְיֹום־אֵידִי וַיְהִי־יְהוָה לְמִשְׁעָן לִי	19 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.
20 וַיֹּוצִיאֵנִי לַמֶּרְחָב יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי חָפֵץ בִּי	20 And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
21 יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִי	21 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
22 כִּישָׁ־מַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא־רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָי	22 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.
23 כִּי כָל־מִשְׁפָּטָיו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסִיר מֶנִּי	23 For till his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.
24 וָאֱהִי תָמִים עִמֹּו וָאֶשְׁתַּמֵּר מֵעֲוֹנִי	24 And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
25 וַיָּשֶׁב־יְהוָה לִי כְצִדְקִי כְּבֹר יָדַי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו	25 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
26 עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גְּבַר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּם	26 With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
27 עִם־נָבָר תִּתְבָּרָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתְפַּתָּל	27 And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
28 כִּי־אַתָּה עַם־עָנִי תֹושִׁיעַ וְעֵינַיִם רָמֹות תַּשְׁפִּיל	28 For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
29 כִּי־אַתָּה תָּאִיר נֵרִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי יַגִּיהַּ חָשְׁכִּי	29 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.
30 כִּי־בְךָ אָרֻץ גְּדוּד וּבֵאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שׁוּר	30 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.
31 הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכֹּו אִמְרַת־יְהוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל ׀ הַחֹסִים בֹּו	31 As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.
32 כִּי מִי אֱלֹוהַּ מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהוָה וּמִי צוּר זוּלָתִי אֱלֹהֵינוּ	32 For who is God but the Lord? or who is God but our God?
33 הָאֵל הַמְאַזְּרֵנִי חָיִל וַיִּתֵּן תָּמִים דַּרְכִּי	33 God who hath girt me with strength; and made my way blameless.
34 מְשַׁוֶּה רַגְלַי כָּאַיָּלֹות וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִידֵנִי	34 Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.
35 מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחֲתָה קֶשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹועֹתָי	35 Who teacheth my hands to war: and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
36 וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וִימִינְךָ תִסְעָדֵנִי וְעַנְוַתְךָ תַרְבֵּנִי	36 And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
37 תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַחְתָּי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּי	37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
38 אֶרְדֹּוף אֹויְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵם וְלֹא־אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלֹּותָם	38 I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
39 אֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא־יֻכְלוּ קוּם יִפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָי	39 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
40 וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתָּי	40 And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
41 וְאֹיְבַי נָתַתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף וּמְשַׂנְאַי אַצְמִיתֵם	41 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
42 יְשַׁוְּעוּ וְאֵין־מֹושִׁיעַ עַל־יְהוָה וְלֹא עָנָם	42 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
43 וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כְּעָפָר עַל־פְּנֵי־רוּחַ כְּטִיט חוּצֹות אֲרִיקֵם	43 And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
44 תְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עָם תְּשִׂימֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גֹּויִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדוּנִי	44 Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
45 לְשֵׁמַע אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִי בְּנֵי־נֵכָר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לִי	45 A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
46 בְּנֵי־נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְרְגוּ מִמִּסְגְּרֹותֵיהֶם	46 The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
47 חַי־יְהוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרוּם אֱלֹוהֵי יִשְׁעִי	47 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted :
48 הָאֵל הַנֹּותֵן נְקָמֹות לִי וַיַּדְבֵּר עַמִּים תַּחְתָּי	48 O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.
49 מְפַלְּטִי מֵאֹיְבָי אַף מִן־קָמַי תְּרֹומְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חָמָס תַּצִּילֵנִי	49 And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
50 עַל־כֵּן ׀ אֹודְךָ בַגֹּויִם ׀ יְהוָה וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּרָה	50 Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
51 [מִגְדֹּל כ] (מַגְדִּיל ק) יְשׁוּעֹות מַלְכֹּו וְעֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיחֹו לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעֹו עַד־עֹולָם	51 Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed : and to his seed for ever.
