1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מַשְׂכִּיל1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
2 אֱלֹהִים ׀ בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ אֲבֹותֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָנוּ פֹּעַל פָּעַלְתָּ בִימֵיהֶם בִּימֵי קֶדֶם2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 אַתָּה ׀ יָדְךָ גֹּויִם הֹורַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵם תָּרַע לְאֻמִּים וַתְּשַׁלְּחֵם3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 כִּי לֹא בְחַרְבָּם יָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּזְרֹועָם לֹא־הֹושִׁיעָה לָּמֹו כִּי־יְמִינְךָ וּזְרֹועֲךָ וְאֹור פָּנֶיךָ כִּי רְצִיתָם4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 אַתָּה־הוּא מַלְכִּי אֱלֹהִים צַוֵּה יְשׁוּעֹות יַעֲקֹב5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 בְּךָ צָרֵינוּ נְנַגֵּחַ בְּשִׁמְךָ נָבוּס קָמֵינוּ6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 כִּי לֹא בְקַשְׁתִּי אֶבְטָח וְחַרְבִּי לֹא תֹושִׁיעֵנִי7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 כִּי הֹושַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ הֱבִישֹׁותָ8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9 בֵּאלֹהִים הִלַּלְנוּ כָל־הַיֹּום וְשִׁמְךָ ׀ לְעֹולָם נֹודֶה סֶלָה9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 אַף־זָנַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵנוּ וְלֹא־תֵצֵא בְּצִבְאֹותֵינוּ10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
11 תְּשִׁיבֵנוּ אָחֹור מִנִּי־צָר וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ שָׁסוּ לָמֹו11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
12 תִּתְּנֵנוּ כְּצֹאן מַאֲכָל וּבַגֹּויִם זֵרִיתָנוּ12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13 תִּמְכֹּר־עַמְּךָ בְלֹא־הֹון וְלֹא־רִבִּיתָ בִּמְחִירֵיהֶם13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
14 תְּשִׂימֵנוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵינוּ14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
15 תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָשָׁל בַּגֹּויִם מְנֹוד־רֹאשׁ בַּל־אֻמִּים15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 כָּל־הַיֹּום כְּלִמָּתִי נֶגְדִּי וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנַי כִּסָּתְנִי16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
17 מִקֹּול מְחָרֵף וּמְגַדֵּף מִפְּנֵי אֹויֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
18 כָּל־זֹאת בָּאַתְנוּ וְלֹא שְׁכַחֲנוּךָ וְלֹאשִׁ־קַּרְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶךָ18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 לֹא־נָסֹוג אָחֹור לִבֵּנוּ וַתֵּט אֲשֻׁרֵינוּ מִנִּי אָרְחֶךָ19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 כִּי דִכִּיתָנוּ בִּמְקֹום תַּנִּים וַתְּכַס עָלֵינוּ בְצַלְמָוֶת20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 אִםשָׁ־כַחְנוּ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַנִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפֵּינוּ לְאֵל זָר21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 הֲלֹא אֱלֹהִים יַחֲקָר־זֹאת כִּי־הוּא יֹדֵעַ תַּעֲלֻמֹות לֵב22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 כִּי־עָלֶיךָ הֹרַגְנוּ כָל־הַיֹּום נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כְּצֹאן טִבְחָה23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 עוּרָה ׀ לָמָּה תִישַׁן ׀ אֲדֹנָי הָקִיצָה אַל־תִּזְנַח לָנֶצַח24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 לָמָּה־פָנֶיךָ תַסְתִּיר תִּשְׁכַּח עָנְיֵנוּ וְלַחֲצֵנוּ25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 כִּי שָׁחָה לֶעָפָר נַפְשֵׁנוּ דָּבְקָה לָאָרֶץ בִּטְנֵנוּ26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
27 קוּמָה עֶזְרָתָה לָּנוּ וּפְדֵנוּ לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ
28 הָאֹמֵר לְכֹורֶשׁ רֹעִי וְכָל־חֶפְצִי יַשְׁלִם וְלֵאמֹר לִירוּשָׁלִַם תִּבָּנֶה וְהֵיכָל תִּוָּסֵד׃ ס
