CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah
1 Unto the end. For the octave. A Psalm of David.	1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִדבַּֽיהֹוָה ׀ חָסִיתִיאֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ לְנַפְשִׁי נודו נוּדִי הַרְכֶם צִפּֽוֹר׃
2 Save me, O Lord, because holiness has passed away, because truths have been diminished, before the sons of men.	2 כִּי הִנֵּה הָרְשָׁעִים יִדְרְכוּן קֶשֶׁתכּוֹנְנוּ חִצָּם עַל־יֶתֶרלִירוֹת בְּמוֹ־אֹפֶל לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃
3 They have been speaking emptiness, each one to his neighbor; they have been speaking with deceitful lips and a duplicitous heart.	3 כִּי הַשָּׁתוֹת יֵהָרֵסוּןצַדִּיק מַה־פָּעָֽל׃
4 May the Lord scatter all deceitful lips, along with the tongue that speaks malice.	4 יְהֹוָה ׀ בְּֽהֵיכַל קׇדְשׁוֹיְהֹוָה בַּשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאוֹעֵינָיו יֶחֱזוּעַפְעַפָּיו יִבְחֲנוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
5 They have said: “We will magnify our tongue; our lips belong to us. What is Lord to us?”	5 יְהֹוָה צַדִּיק יִבְחָןוְרָשָׁע וְאֹהֵב חָמָסשָֽׂנְאָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
6 Because of the misery of the destitute and the groaning of the poor, now I will arise, says the Lord. I will place him in safety. I will act faithfully toward him.	6 יַמְטֵר עַל־רְשָׁעִים פַּחִיםאֵשׁ וְגׇפְרִית וְרוּחַ זִלְעָפוֹתמְנָת כּוֹסָֽם׃
7 The eloquence of the Lord is pure eloquence, silver tested by fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.	7 כִּֽי־צַדִּיק יְהֹוָה צְדָקוֹת אָהֵביָשָׁר יֶחֱזוּ פָנֵֽימוֹ׃
8 You, O Lord, will preserve us, and you will guard us from this generation into eternity.
9 The impious wander aimlessly. According to your loftiness, you have multiplied the sons of men.
