1 לִשְׁלֹמֹה ׀אֱֽלֹהִים מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ לְמֶלֶךְ תֵּןוְצִדְקָתְךָ לְבֶן־מֶֽלֶךְ׃	1 A Psalm of Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to those who are upright in heart.
2 יָדִין עַמְּךָ בְצֶדֶקוַעֲנִיֶּיךָ בְמִשְׁפָּֽט׃	2 But my feet were nearly moved; my steps had nearly slipped.
3 יִשְׂאוּ הָרִים שָׁלוֹם לָעָםוּגְבָעוֹת בִּצְדָקָֽה׃	3 For I was zealous over the iniquitous, seeing the peacefulness of sinners.
4 יִשְׁפֹּט ׀ עֲֽנִיֵּי־עָםיוֹשִׁיעַ לִבְנֵי אֶבְיוֹןוִידַכֵּא עוֹשֵֽׁק׃	4 For they have no respect for their death, nor do they have support in their wounds.
5 יִירָאוּךָ עִם־שָׁמֶשׁוְלִפְנֵי יָרֵחַ דּוֹר דּוֹרִֽים׃	5 They are not with the hardships of men, nor will they be scourged with men.
6 יֵרֵד כְּמָטָר עַל־גֵּזכִּרְבִיבִים זַרְזִיף אָֽרֶץ׃	6 Therefore, arrogance has held on to them. They have been covered with their iniquity and impiety.
7 יִֽפְרַח־בְּיָמָיו צַדִּיקוְרֹב שָׁלוֹם עַד־בְּלִי יָרֵֽחַ׃	7 Their iniquity has proceeded, as if from fat. They have parted from the affection of the heart.
8 וְיֵרְדְּ מִיָּם עַד־יָםוּמִנָּהָר עַד־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃	8 They have thought and spoken wickedness. They have spoken iniquity in high places.
9 לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ צִיִּיםוְאֹיְבָיו עָפָר יְלַחֵֽכוּ׃	9 They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has traversed the earth.
10 מַלְכֵי תַרְשִׁישׁ וְאִיִּיםמִנְחָה יָשִׁיבוּמַלְכֵי שְׁבָא וּסְבָאאֶשְׁכָּר יַקְרִֽיבוּ׃	10 Therefore, my people will be converted here, and fullness of days will be found in them.
11 וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כׇל־מְלָכִיםכׇּל־גּוֹיִם יַעַבְדֽוּהוּ׃	11 And they said, “How would God know?” and, “Isn’t there knowledge in high places?”
12 כִּֽי־יַצִּיל אֶבְיוֹן מְשַׁוֵּעַוְעָנִי וְֽאֵין־עֹזֵר לֽוֹ׃	12 Behold, these are sinners, and, abounding in this age, they have obtained riches.
13 יָחֹס עַל־דַּל וְאֶבְיוֹןוְנַפְשׁוֹת אֶבְיוֹנִים יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃	13 And I said: So then, it is without purpose that I have justified my heart and washed my hands among the innocent.
14 מִתּוֹךְ וּמֵחָמָס יִגְאַל נַפְשָׁםוְיֵיקַר דָּמָם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃	14 And I have been scourged all day long, and I have received my chastisement in the mornings.
15 וִיחִי וְיִתֶּן־לוֹ מִזְּהַב שְׁבָאוְיִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעֲדוֹ תָמִידכׇּל־הַיּוֹם יְבָרְכֶֽנְהוּ׃	15 If I were to say that I would explain this: Behold, I would condemn this nation of your sons.
16 יְהִי פִסַּת־בַּר ׀ בָּאָרֶץ בְּרֹאשׁ הָרִיםיִרְעַשׁ כַּלְּבָנוֹן פִּרְיוֹוְיָצִיצוּ מֵעִיר כְּעֵשֶׂב הָאָֽרֶץ׃	16 I considered, so that I might know this. It is a hardship before me,
17 יְהִי שְׁמוֹ לְֽעוֹלָםלִפְנֵי־שֶׁמֶשׁ ינין יִנּוֹן שְׁמוֹוְיִתְבָּרְכוּ בוֹכׇּל־גּוֹיִם יְאַשְּׁרֽוּהוּ׃	17 until I may enter into the Sanctuary of God, and understand it to its last part.
18 בָּרוּךְ ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵלעֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּֽוֹ׃	18 So, because of deceitfulness, truly, you have placed it before them. While they were being lifted up, you were casting them down.
19 וּבָרוּךְ ׀ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָםוְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת־כֹּל הָאָרֶץאָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃	19 How have they been brought to desolation? They have suddenly failed. They have perished because of their iniquity.
20 כָּלּוּ תְפִלּוֹתדָּוִד בֶּן־יִשָֽׁי׃ ספר שלישי	20 As a dream is to those who awaken, O Lord, so will you reduce their image to nothing in your city.
	21 For my heart has been inflamed, and my temperament has been changed.
	22 And so, I have been reduced to nothing, and I did not know it.
	23 I have become like a beast of burden to you, and I am always with you.
	24 You have held my right hand. And in your will, you have conducted me, and with your glory, you have taken me up.
	25 For what is there for me in heaven? And what do I wish for on earth before you?
	26 My body has failed, and my heart: O God of my heart, and God my portion, into eternity.
	27 For behold, those who put themselves far from you will perish. You have perished all those who fornicate away from you.
	28 But it is good for me to adhere to God, to put my hope in the Lord God, so that I may announce all your prophecies, at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
