Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִדשִׁמְעָה יְהֹוָה ׀ צֶדֶקהַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִיהַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִיבְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָֽה׃	1 Prayer of David. Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
2 מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵאעֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִֽים׃	2 From thee let my vindication come! Let thy eyes see the right!
3 בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי ׀ פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָהצְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָאזַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבׇר־פִּֽי׃	3 If thou triest my heart, if thou visitest me by night, if thou testest me, thou wilt find no wickedness in me; my mouth does not transgress.
4 לִפְעֻלּוֹת אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָאֲנִי שָׁמַרְתִּי אׇרְחוֹת פָּרִֽיץ׃	4 With regard to the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתֶיךָבַּל־נָמוֹטּוּ פְעָמָֽי׃	5 My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6 אֲנִֽי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִֽי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵלהַֽט־אׇזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִֽי׃	6 I call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God; incline thy ear to me, hear my words.
7 הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ חוֹסִיםמִמִּתְקוֹמְמִים בִּֽימִינֶֽךָ׃	7 Wondrously show thy steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at thy right hand.
8 שׇׁמְרֵנִי כְּאִישׁוֹן בַּת־עָיִןבְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִי׃	8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of thy wings,
9 מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִיאֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָֽי׃	9 from the wicked who despoil me, my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 חֶלְבָּמוֹ סָּגְרוּפִּימוֹ דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאֽוּת׃	10 They close their hearts to pity; with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11 אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה סבבוני סְבָבוּנוּעֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטוֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃	11 They track me down; now they surround me; they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.
12 דִּמְיֹנוֹ כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסוֹף לִטְרֹףוְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרִֽים׃	12 They are like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 קוּמָה יְהֹוָהקַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּפַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּֽךָ׃	13 Arise, O LORD! confront them, overthrow them! Deliver my life from the wicked by thy sword,
14 מִמְתִֽים יָדְךָ ׀ יְהֹוָהמִֽמְתִים מֵחֶלֶדחֶלְקָם בַּֽחַיִּים וצפינך וּֽצְפוּנְךָ תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָםיִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִיםוְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעוֹלְלֵיהֶֽם׃	14 from men by thy hand, O LORD, from men whose portion in life is of the world. May their belly be filled with what thou hast stored up for them; may their children have more than enough; may they leave something over to their babes.
15 אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָאֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃	15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with beholding thy form.
