STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֹור שִׁיר	1 Unto the end. For those who will be changed: of David.
2 יָקוּם אֱלֹהִים יָפוּצוּ אֹויְבָיו וְיָנוּסוּ מְשַׂנְאָיו מִפָּנָיו	2 Save me, O God, for the waters have entered, even to my soul.
3 כְּהִנְדֹּף עָשָׁן תִּנְדֹּף כְּהִמֵּס דֹּונַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵשׁ יֹאבְדוּ רְשָׁעִים מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים	3 I have become stuck in a deep quagmire, and there is no firm footing. I have arrived at the height of the sea, and a tempest has overwhelmed me.
4 וְצַדִּיקִים יִשְׂמְחוּ יַעַלְצוּ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים וְיָשִׂישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָה	4 I have endured hardships, while crying out. My jaws have become hoarse; my eyes have failed. Meanwhile, I hope in my God.
5 שִׁירוּ ׀ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ שְׁמֹו סֹלּוּ לָרֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבֹות בְּיָהּ שְׁמֹו וְעִלְזוּ לְפָנָיו	5 Those who hate me without cause have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. My enemies, who persecuted me unjustly, have been strengthened. Then I was required to pay for what I did not take.
6 אֲבִי יְתֹומִים וְדַיַּן אַלְמָנֹות אֱלֹהִים בִּמְעֹון קָדְשֹׁו	6 O God, you know my foolishness, and my offenses have not been hidden from you.
7 אֱלֹהִים ׀ מֹושִׁיב יְחִידִים ׀ בַּיְתָה מֹוצִיא אֲסִירִים בַּכֹּושָׁרֹות אַךְ סֹורֲרִים שָׁכְנוּ צְחִיחָה	7 Let those who wait for you, O Lord, the Lord of hosts, not be shamed in me. Let those who seek you, O God of Israel, not be confounded over me.
8 אֱ‍לֹהִים בְּצֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵי עַמֶּךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ בִישִׁימֹון סֶלָה	8 For because of you, I have endured reproach; confusion has covered my face.
9 אֶרֶץ רָעָשָׁה ׀ אַף־שָׁמַיִם נָטְפוּ מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים זֶה סִינַי מִפְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	9 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.
10 גֶּשֶׁם נְדָבֹות תָּנִיף אֱלֹהִים נַחֲלָתְךָ וְנִלְאָה אַתָּה כֹונַנְתָּהּ	10 For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.
11 חַיָּתְךָ יָשְׁבוּ־בָהּ תָּכִין בְּטֹובָתְךָ לֶעָנִי אֱלֹהִים	11 And I covered my soul with fasting, and it has become a reproach to me.
12 אֲדֹנָי יִתֶּן־אֹמֶר הַמְבַשְּׂרֹות צָבָא רָב	12 And I put on a haircloth as my garment, and I became a parable to them.
13 מַלְכֵי צְבָאֹות יִדֹּדוּן יִדֹּדוּן וּנְוַת בַּיִת תְּחַלֵּק שָׁלָל	13 Those who sat at the gate spoke against me, and those who drank wine made me their song.
14 אִם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן בֵּין שְׁפַתָּיִם כַּנְפֵי יֹונָה נֶחְפָּה בַכֶּסֶף וְאֶבְרֹותֶיהָ בִּירַקְרַק חָרוּץ	14 But as for me, truly, my prayer is to you, O Lord. This time has pleased you well, O God. In the multitude of your mercy, in the truth of your salvation, hear me.
15 בְּפָרֵשׂ שַׁדַּי מְלָכִים בָּהּ תַּשְׁלֵג בְּצַלְמֹון	15 Rescue me from the quagmire, so that I may not become trapped. Free me from those who hate me and from deep waters.
16 הַר־אֱלֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁן הַר גַּבְנֻנִּים הַר־בָּשָׁן	16 Do not allow the tempest of water to submerge me, nor the deep to absorb me. And do not allow the well to close in on me.
17 לָמָּה ׀ תְּרַצְּדוּן הָרִים גַּבְנֻנִּים הָהָר חָמַד אֱלֹהִים לְשִׁבְתֹּו אַף־יְהוָה יִשְׁכֹּן לָנֶצַח	17 Hear me, O Lord, for your mercy is kind. Look upon me, according to the fullness of your compassion.
18 רֶכֶב אֱלֹהִים רִבֹּתַיִם אַלְפֵי שִׁנְאָן אֲדֹנָי בָם סִינַי בַּקֹּדֶשׁ	18 And do not turn your face away from your servant, for I am in trouble: heed me quickly.
19 עָלִיתָ לַמָּרֹום ׀ שָׁבִיתָ שֶּׁבִי לָקַחְתָּ מַתָּנֹות בָּאָדָם וְאַף סֹורְרִים לִשְׁכֹּן ׀ יָהּ אֱלֹהִים	19 Attend to my soul, and free it. Rescue me, because of my enemies.
20 בָּרוּךְ אֲדֹנָי יֹום ׀ יֹום יַעֲמָס־לָנוּ הָאֵל יְשׁוּעָתֵנוּ סֶלָה	20 You know my reproach, and my confusion, and my reverence.
21 הָאֵל ׀ לָנוּ אֵל לְמֹושָׁעֹות וְלֵיהוִה אֲדֹנָי לַמָּוֶת תֹּוצָאֹות	21 All those who trouble me are in your sight; my heart has anticipated reproach and misery. And I sought for one who might grieve together with me, but there was no one, and for one who might console me, and I found no one.
22 אַךְ־אֱלֹהִים יִמְחַץ רֹאשׁ אֹיְבָיו קָדְקֹד שֵׂעָר מִתְהַלֵּךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָיו	22 And they gave me gall for my food. And in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
23 אָמַר אֲדֹנָי מִבָּשָׁן אָשִׁיב אָשִׁיב מִמְּצֻלֹות יָם	23 Let their table be a snare before them, and a retribution, and a scandal.
24 לְמַעַן ׀ תִּמְחַץ רַגְלְךָ בְּדָם לְשֹׁון כְּלָבֶיךָ מֵאֹיְבִים מִנֵּהוּ	24 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and may their back always be crooked.
25 רָאוּ הֲלִיכֹותֶיךָ אֱלֹהִים הֲלִיכֹות אֵלִי מַלְכִּי בַקֹּדֶשׁ	25 Pour out your indignation upon them, and may the fury of your anger take hold of them.
26 קִדְּמוּ רִים אַחַר נֹגְנִים בְּתֹוךְ עֲלָמֹות תֹּופֵפֹות	26 May their dwelling place be deserted, and may there be no one who dwells in their tabernacles.
27 בְּמַקְהֵלֹות בָּרְכוּ אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה מִמְּקֹור יִשְׂרָאֵל	27 For they persecuted whomever you struck. And they have added to the grief of my wounds.
28 שָׁם בִּנְיָמִן ׀ צָעִיר רֹדֵם שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה רִגְמָתָם שָׂרֵי זְבֻלוּן שָׂרֵי נַפְתָּלִי	28 Assign an iniquity upon their iniquity, and may they not enter into your justice.
29 צִוָּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עֻזֶּךָ עוּזָּה אֱלֹהִים זוּ פָּעַלְתָּ לָּנוּ	29 Delete them from the Book of the Living, and let them not be written down with the just.
30 מֵהֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָם לְךָ יֹובִילוּ מְלָכִים שָׁי	30 I am poor and sorrowful, but your salvation, O God, has taken me up.
31 גְּעַר חַיַּת קָנֶה עֲדַת אַבִּירִים ׀ בְּעֶגְלֵי עַמִּים מִתְרַפֵּס בְּרַצֵּי־כָסֶף בִּזַּר עַמִּים קְרָבֹות יֶחְפָּצוּ	31 I will praise the name of God with a canticle, and I will magnify him with praise.
32 יֶאֱתָיוּ חַשְׁמַנִּים מִנִּי מִצְרָיִם כּוּשׁ תָּרִיץ יָדָיו לֵאלֹהִים	32 And it will please God more than a new calf producing horns and hoofs.
33 מַמְלְכֹות הָאָרֶץ שִׁירוּ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ אֲדֹנָי סֶלָה	33 Let the poor see and rejoice. Seek God, and your soul will live.
34 לָרֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵי שְׁמֵי־קֶדֶם הֵן יִתֵּן בְּקֹולֹו קֹול עֹז	34 For the Lord has heard the poor, and he has not despised his prisoners.
35 תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאלֹהִים עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּאֲוָתֹו וְעֻזֹּו בַּשְּׁחָקִים	35 Let the heavens and the earth praise him: the sea, and everything that crawls in it.
36 נֹורָא אֱלֹהִים מִמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ אֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נֹתֵן ׀ עֹז וְתַעֲצֻמֹות לָעָם בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים	36 For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah will be built up. And they will dwell there, and they will acquire it by inheritance.
	37 And the offspring of his servants will possess it; and those who love his name will dwell in it.
