1 מַשְׂכִּיל לְאֵיתָן הָאֶזְרָחִי	1 A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
2 חַסְדֵי יְהוָה עֹולָם אָשִׁירָה לְדֹר וָדֹר ׀ אֹודִיעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בְּפִי	2 The promises of the LORD I will sing forever, proclaim your loyalty through all ages.
3 כִּי־אָמַרְתִּי עֹולָם חֶסֶד יִבָּנֶה שָׁמַיִם ׀ תָּכִן אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָהֶם	3 For you said, "My love is established forever; my loyalty will stand as long as the heavens.
4 כָּרַתִּי בְרִית לִבְחִירִי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לְדָוִד עַבְדִּי	4 I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant:
5 עַד־עֹולָם אָכִין זַרְעֶךָ וּבָנִיתִי לְדֹר־וָדֹור כִּסְאֲךָ סֶלָה	5 I will make your dynasty stand forever and establish your throne through all ages." Selah
6 וְיֹודוּ שָׁמַיִם פִּלְאֲךָ יְהוָה אַף־אֱמוּנָתְךָ בִּקְהַל קְדֹשִׁים	6 The heavens praise your marvels, LORD, your loyalty in the assembly of the holy ones.
7 כִּי מִי בַשַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹךְ לַיהוָה יִדְמֶה לַיהוָה בִּבְנֵי אֵלִים	7 Who in the skies ranks with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the gods?
8 אֵל נַעֲרָץ בְּסֹוד־קְדֹשִׁים רַבָּה וְנֹורָא עַל־כָּל־סְבִיבָיו	8 A God dreaded in the council of the holy ones, greater and more awesome than all who sit there!
9 יְהוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות מִי־כָמֹוךָ חֲסִין ׀ יָהּ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ סְבִיבֹותֶיךָ	9 LORD, God of hosts, who is like you? Mighty LORD, your loyalty is always present.
10 אַתָּה מֹושֵׁל בְּגֵאוּת הַיָּם בְּשֹׂוא גַלָּיו אַתָּה תְשַׁבְּחֵם	10 You rule the raging sea; you still its swelling waves.
11 אַתָּה דִכִּאתָ כֶחָלָל רָהַב בִּזְרֹועַ עֻזְּךָ פִּזַּרְתָּ אֹויְבֶיךָ	11 You crushed Rahab with a mortal blow; your strong arm scattered your foes.
12 לְךָ מַיִם אַף־לְךָ אָרֶץ תֵּבֵל וּמְלֹאָהּ אַתָּה יְסַדְתָּם	12 Yours are the heavens, yours the earth; you founded the world and everything in it.
13 צָפֹון וְיָמִין אַתָּה בְרָאתָם תָּבֹור וְחֶרְמֹון בְּשִׁמְךָ יְרַנֵּנוּ	13 Zaphon and Amanus you created; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
14 לְךָ זְרֹועַ עִם־גְּבוּרָה תָּעֹז יָדְךָ תָּרוּם יְמִינֶךָ	14 Mighty your arm, strong your hand, your right hand is ever exalted.
15 צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכֹון כִּסְאֶךָ חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת יְקַדְּמוּ פָנֶיךָ	15 Justice and judgment are the foundation of your throne; love and loyalty march before you.
16 אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם יֹודְעֵי תְרוּעָה יְהוָה בְּאֹור־פָּנֶיךָ יְהַלֵּכוּן	16 Happy the people who know you, LORD, who walk in the radiance of your face.
17 בְּשִׁמְךָ יְגִילוּן כָּל־הַיֹּום וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ יָרוּמוּ	17 In your name they sing joyfully all the day; at your victory they raise the festal shout.
18 כִּי־תִפְאֶרֶת עֻזָּמֹו אָתָּה וּבִרְצֹנְךָ [תָּרִים כ] (תָּרוּם ק) קַרְנֵנוּ	18 You are their majestic strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.
19 כִּי לַיהוָה מָגִנֵּנוּ וְלִקְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַלְכֵּנוּ	19 Truly the LORD is our shield, the Holy One of Israel, our king!
20 אָז דִּבַּרְתָּ־בְחָזֹון לַחֲסִידֶיךָ וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁוִּיתִי עֵזֶר עַל־גִּבֹּור הֲרִימֹותִי בָחוּר מֵעָם	20 Once you spoke in vision; to your faithful ones you said: "I have set a leader over the warriors; I have raised up a hero from the army.
21 מָצָאתִי דָּוִד עַבְדִּי בְּשֶׁמֶן קָדְשִׁי מְשַׁחְתִּיו	21 I have chosen David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22 אֲשֶׁר יָדִי תִּכֹּון עִמֹּו אַף־זְרֹועִי תְאַמְּצֶנּוּ	22 My hand will be with him; my arm will make him strong.
23 לֹא־יַשִּׁא אֹויֵב בֹּו וּבֶן־עַוְלָה לֹא יְעַנֶּנּוּ	23 No enemy shall outwit him, nor shall the wicked defeat him.
24 וְכַתֹּותִי מִפָּנָיו צָרָיו וּמְשַׂנְאָיו אֶגֹּוף	24 I will crush his foes before him, strike down those who hate him.
25 וֶאֶמוּנָתִי וְחַסְדִּי עִמֹּו וּבִשְׁמִי תָּרוּם קַרְנֹו	25 My loyalty and love will be with him; through my name his horn will be exalted.
26 וְשַׂמְתִּי בַיָּם יָדֹו וּבַנְּהָרֹות יְמִינֹו	26 I will set his hand upon the sea, his right hand upon the rivers.
27 הוּא יִקְרָאֵנִי אָבִי אָתָּה אֵלִי וְצוּר יְשׁוּעָתִי	27 He shall cry to me,'You are my father, my God, the Rock that brings me victory!'
28 אַף־אָנִי בְּכֹור אֶתְּנֵהוּ עֶלְיֹון לְמַלְכֵי־אָרֶץ	28 I myself make him firstborn, Most High over the kings of the earth.
29 לְעֹולָם [אֶשְׁמֹור־ כ] (אֶשְׁמָר־לֹו ק) חַסְדִּי וּבְרִיתִי נֶאֱמֶנֶת לֹו	29 Forever I will maintain my love for him; my covenant with him stands firm.
30 וְשַׂמְתִּי לָעַד זַרְעֹו וְכִסְאֹו כִּימֵי שָׁמָיִם	30 I will establish his dynasty forever, his throne as the days of the heavens.
31 אִם־יַעַזְבוּ בָנָיו תֹּורָתִי וּבְמִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא יֵלֵכוּן	31 If his descendants forsake my law, do not follow my decrees,
32 אִם־חֻקֹּתַי יְחַלֵּלוּ וּמִצְוֹתַי לֹא יִשְׁמֹרוּ	32 If they fail to observe my statutes, do not keep my commandments,
33 וּפָקַדְתִּי בְשֵׁבֶט פִּשְׁעָם וּבִנְגָעִים עֲוֹנָם	33 I will punish their crime with a rod and their guilt with lashes.
34 וְחַסְדִּי לֹא־אָפִיר מֵעִמֹּו וְלֹא־אֲשַׁקֵּר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִי	34 But I will not take my love from him, nor will I betray my bond of loyalty.
35 לֹא־אֲחַלֵּל בְּרִיתִי וּמֹוצָא פָתַי לֹא אֲשַׁנֶּה	35 I will not violate my covenant; the promise of my lips I will not alter.
36 אַחַת נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְקָדְשִׁי אִם־לְדָוִד אֲכַזֵּב	36 By my holiness I swore once for all: I will never be false to David.
37 זַרְעֹו לְעֹולָם יִהְיֶה וְכִסְאֹו כַשֶּׁמֶשׁ נֶגְדִּי	37 His dynasty will continue forever, his throne, like the sun before me.
38 כְּיָרֵחַ יִכֹּון עֹולָם וְעֵד בַּשַּׁחַק נֶאֱמָן סֶלָה	38 Like the moon it will stand eternal, forever firm like the sky!" Selah
39 וְאַתָּה זָנַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָס הִתְעַבַּרְתָּ עִם־מְשִׁיחֶךָ	39 But now you have rejected and spurned, been enraged at your anointed.
40 נֵאַרְתָּה בְּרִית עַבְדֶּךָ חִלַּלְתָּ לָאָרֶץ נִזְרֹו	40 You renounced the covenant with your servant, defiled his crown in the dust.
41 פָּרַצְתָּ כָל־גְּדֵרֹתָיו שַׂמְתָּ מִבְצָרָיו מְחִתָּה	41 You broke down all his defenses, left his strongholds in ruins.
42 סֻּהוּ כָּל־עֹבְרֵי דָרֶךְ הָיָה חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנָיו	42 All who pass through seize plunder; his neighbors deride him.
43 הֲרִימֹותָ יְמִין צָרָיו הִשְׂמַחְתָּ כָּל־אֹויְבָיו	43 You have exalted the right hand of his foes, have gladdened all his enemies.
44 אַף־תָּשִׁיב צוּר חַרְבֹּו וְלֹא הֲקֵימֹתֹו בַּמִּלְחָמָה	44 You turned back his sharp sword, did not support him in battle.
45 הִשְׁבַּתָּ מִטְּהָרֹו וְכִסְאֹו לָאָרֶץ מִגַּרְתָּה	45 You brought to an end his splendor, hurled his throne to the ground.
46 הִקְצַרְתָּ יְמֵי עֲלוּמָיו הֶעֱטִיתָ עָלָיו בּוּשָׁה סֶלָה	46 You cut short the days of his youth, covered him with shame. Selah
47 עַד־מָה יְהוָה תִּסָּתֵר לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמֹו־אֵשׁ חֲמָתֶךָ	47 How long, LORD? Will you stay hidden forever? Must your wrath smolder like fire?
48 זְכָר־אֲנִי מֶה־חָלֶד עַל־מַהשָּׁ־וְא בָּרָאתָ כָל־בְּנֵי־אָדָם	48 Remember how brief is my life, how frail the race you created!
49 מִי גֶבֶר יִחְיֶה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה־מָּוֶת יְמַלֵּט נַפְשֹׁו מִיַּד־שְׁאֹול סֶלָה	49 What mortal can live and not see death? Who can escape the power of Sheol? Selah
50 אַיֵּה ׀ חֲסָדֶיךָ הָרִאשֹׁנִים ׀ אֲדֹנָי נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לְדָוִד בֶּאֱמוּנָתֶךָ	50 Where are your promises of old, Lord, the loyalty sworn to David?
51 זְכֹר אֲדֹנָי חֶרְפַּת עֲבָדֶיךָ שְׂאֵתִי בְחֵיקִי כָּל־רַבִּים עַמִּים	51 Remember, Lord, the insults to your servants, how I bear all the slanders of the nations.
52 אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ אֹויְבֶיךָ ׀ יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ עִקְּבֹות מְשִׁיחֶךָ	52 Your enemies, LORD, insult your anointed; they insult my every endeavor.
53 בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה לְעֹולָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵן	53 Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen!
