1 מַשְׂכִּיל לְאֵיתָן הָאֶזְרָחִי	1 [Poem For Ethan the native-born] I shal sing the faithful love of Yahweh for ever, from age to age mylips shall declare your constancy,
2 חַסְדֵי יְהוָה עֹולָם אָשִׁירָה לְדֹר וָדֹר ׀ אֹודִיעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בְּפִי	2 for you have said: love is built to last for ever, you have fixed your constancy firm in the heavens.
3 כִּי־אָמַרְתִּי עֹולָם חֶסֶד יִבָּנֶה שָׁמַיִם ׀ תָּכִן אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָהֶם	3 'I have made a covenant with my Chosen One, sworn an oath to my servant David:
4 כָּרַתִּי בְרִית לִבְחִירִי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לְדָוִד עַבְדִּי	4 I have made your dynasty firm for ever, built your throne stable age after age.'Pause
5 עַד־עֹולָם אָכִין זַרְעֶךָ וּבָנִיתִי לְדֹר־וָדֹור כִּסְאֲךָ סֶלָה	5 The heavens praise your wonders, Yahweh, your constancy in the gathering of your faithful.
6 וְיֹודוּ שָׁמַיִם פִּלְאֲךָ יְהוָה אַף־אֱמוּנָתְךָ בִּקְהַל קְדֹשִׁים	6 Who in the skies can compare with Yahweh? Who among the sons of god can rival him?
7 כִּי מִי בַשַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹךְ לַיהוָה יִדְמֶה לַיהוָה בִּבְנֵי אֵלִים	7 God, awesome in the assembly of holy ones, great and dreaded among al who surround him,
8 אֵל נַעֲרָץ בְּסֹוד־קְדֹשִׁים רַבָּה וְנֹורָא עַל־כָּל־סְבִיבָיו	8 Yahweh, God Sabaoth, who is like you? Mighty Yahweh, your constancy is al round you!
9 יְהוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאֹות מִי־כָמֹוךָ חֲסִין ׀ יָהּ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ סְבִיבֹותֶיךָ	9 You control the pride of the ocean, when its waves ride high you calm them.
10 אַתָּה מֹושֵׁל בְּגֵאוּת הַיָּם בְּשֹׂוא גַלָּיו אַתָּה תְשַׁבְּחֵם	10 You split Rahab in two like a corpse, scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11 אַתָּה דִכִּאתָ כֶחָלָל רָהַב בִּזְרֹועַ עֻזְּךָ פִּזַּרְתָּ אֹויְבֶיךָ	11 Yours are the heavens and yours the earth, the world and al it holds, you founded them;
12 לְךָ מַיִם אַף־לְךָ אָרֶץ תֵּבֵל וּמְלֹאָהּ אַתָּה יְסַדְתָּם	12 you created the north and the south, Tabor and Hermon hail your name with joy.
13 צָפֹון וְיָמִין אַתָּה בְרָאתָם תָּבֹור וְחֶרְמֹון בְּשִׁמְךָ יְרַנֵּנוּ	13 Yours is a strong arm, mighty your hand, your right hand raised high;
14 לְךָ זְרֹועַ עִם־גְּבוּרָה תָּעֹז יָדְךָ תָּרוּם יְמִינֶךָ	14 Saving Justice and Fair Judgement the foundations of your throne, Faithful Love and Constancymarch before you.
15 צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכֹון כִּסְאֶךָ חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת יְקַדְּמוּ פָנֶיךָ	15 How blessed the nation that learns to acclaim you! They will live, Yahweh, in the light of yourpresence.
16 אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם יֹודְעֵי תְרוּעָה יְהוָה בְּאֹור־פָּנֶיךָ יְהַלֵּכוּן	16 In your name they rejoice al day long, by your saving justice they are raised up.
17 בְּשִׁמְךָ יְגִילוּן כָּל־הַיֹּום וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ יָרוּמוּ	17 You are the flower of their strength, by your favour our strength is triumphant;
18 כִּי־תִפְאֶרֶת עֻזָּמֹו אָתָּה וּבִרְצֹנְךָ [תָּרִים כ] (תָּרוּם ק) קַרְנֵנוּ	18 for to Yahweh belongs our shield, to the Holy One of Israel our king.
19 כִּי לַיהוָה מָגִנֵּנוּ וְלִקְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַלְכֵּנוּ	19 Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful you said: 'I have given strength to a warrior, I have raisedup a man chosen from my people.
20 אָז דִּבַּרְתָּ־בְחָזֹון לַחֲסִידֶיךָ וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁוִּיתִי עֵזֶר עַל־גִּבֹּור הֲרִימֹותִי בָחוּר מֵעָם	20 'I have found David my servant, and anointed him with my holy oil.
21 מָצָאתִי דָּוִד עַבְדִּי בְּשֶׁמֶן קָדְשִׁי מְשַׁחְתִּיו	21 My hand wil always be with him, my arm wil make him strong.
22 אֲשֶׁר יָדִי תִּכֹּון עִמֹּו אַף־זְרֹועִי תְאַמְּצֶנּוּ	22 'No enemy wil be able to outwit him, no wicked man overcome him;
23 לֹא־יַשִּׁא אֹויֵב בֹּו וּבֶן־עַוְלָה לֹא יְעַנֶּנּוּ	23 I shal crush his enemies before him, strike his opponents dead.
24 וְכַתֹּותִי מִפָּנָיו צָרָיו וּמְשַׂנְאָיו אֶגֹּוף	24 'My constancy and faithful love will be with him, in my name his strength wil be triumphant.
25 וֶאֶמוּנָתִי וְחַסְדִּי עִמֹּו וּבִשְׁמִי תָּרוּם קַרְנֹו	25 I shal establish his power over the sea, his dominion over the rivers.
26 וְשַׂמְתִּי בַיָּם יָדֹו וּבַנְּהָרֹות יְמִינֹו	26 'He wil cry to me, "You are my father, my God, the rock of my salvation!"
27 הוּא יִקְרָאֵנִי אָבִי אָתָּה אֵלִי וְצוּר יְשׁוּעָתִי	27 So I shal make him my first-born, the highest of earthly kings.
28 אַף־אָנִי בְּכֹור אֶתְּנֵהוּ עֶלְיֹון לְמַלְכֵי־אָרֶץ	28 'I shal maintain my faithful love for him always, my covenant with him wil stay firm.
29 לְעֹולָם [אֶשְׁמֹור־ כ] (אֶשְׁמָר־לֹו ק) חַסְדִּי וּבְרִיתִי נֶאֱמֶנֶת לֹו	29 I have established his dynasty for ever, his throne to be as lasting as the heavens.
30 וְשַׂמְתִּי לָעַד זַרְעֹו וְכִסְאֹו כִּימֵי שָׁמָיִם	30 'Should his descendants desert my law, and not keep to my rulings,
31 אִם־יַעַזְבוּ בָנָיו תֹּורָתִי וּבְמִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא יֵלֵכוּן	31 should they violate my statutes, and not observe my commandments,
32 אִם־חֻקֹּתַי יְחַלֵּלוּ וּמִצְוֹתַי לֹא יִשְׁמֹרוּ	32 'then I shal punish their offences with the rod, their guilt with the whip,
33 וּפָקַדְתִּי בְשֵׁבֶט פִּשְׁעָם וּבִנְגָעִים עֲוֹנָם	33 but I shal never withdraw from him my faithful love, I shal not belie my constancy.
34 וְחַסְדִּי לֹא־אָפִיר מֵעִמֹּו וְלֹא־אֲשַׁקֵּר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִי	34 'I shal not violate my covenant, I shal not withdraw the word once spoken.
35 לֹא־אֲחַלֵּל בְּרִיתִי וּמֹוצָא פָתַי לֹא אֲשַׁנֶּה	35 I have sworn by my holiness, once and for al , never will I break faith with David.
36 אַחַת נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְקָדְשִׁי אִם־לְדָוִד אֲכַזֵּב	36 'His dynasty shal endure for ever, his throne like the sun before me,
37 זַרְעֹו לְעֹולָם יִהְיֶה וְכִסְאֹו כַשֶּׁמֶשׁ נֶגְדִּי	37 as the moon is established for ever, a faithful witness in the skies.'Pause
38 כְּיָרֵחַ יִכֹּון עֹולָם וְעֵד בַּשַּׁחַק נֶאֱמָן סֶלָה	38 Yet you yourself -- you have spurned and rejected, and have vented your wrath on your anointed,
39 וְאַתָּה זָנַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָס הִתְעַבַּרְתָּ עִם־מְשִׁיחֶךָ	39 you have repudiated the covenant with your servant, dishonoured his crown in the dust.
40 נֵאַרְתָּה בְּרִית עַבְדֶּךָ חִלַּלְתָּ לָאָרֶץ נִזְרֹו	40 You have pierced al his defences, and laid his strongholds in ruins,
41 פָּרַצְתָּ כָל־גְּדֵרֹתָיו שַׂמְתָּ מִבְצָרָיו מְחִתָּה	41 everyone passing by plunders him, he has become the butt of his neighbours.
42 סֻּהוּ כָּל־עֹבְרֵי דָרֶךְ הָיָה חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנָיו	42 You have raised high the right hand of his opponents, have made al his enemies happy;
43 הֲרִימֹותָ יְמִין צָרָיו הִשְׂמַחְתָּ כָּל־אֹויְבָיו	43 you have snapped off his sword on a rock, and failed to support him in battle.
44 אַף־תָּשִׁיב צוּר חַרְבֹּו וְלֹא הֲקֵימֹתֹו בַּמִּלְחָמָה	44 You have stripped him of his splendid sceptre, and toppled his throne to the ground.
45 הִשְׁבַּתָּ מִטְּהָרֹו וְכִסְאֹו לָאָרֶץ מִגַּרְתָּה	45 You have aged him before his time, enveloped him in shame.Pause
46 הִקְצַרְתָּ יְמֵי עֲלוּמָיו הֶעֱטִיתָ עָלָיו בּוּשָׁה סֶלָה	46 How long, Yahweh, will you remain hidden? For ever? Is your anger to go on smouldering like a fire?
47 עַד־מָה יְהוָה תִּסָּתֵר לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמֹו־אֵשׁ חֲמָתֶךָ	47 Remember me; how long have I left? For what pointless end did you create al the children of Adam?
48 זְכָר־אֲנִי מֶה־חָלֶד עַל־מַהשָּׁ־וְא בָּרָאתָ כָל־בְּנֵי־אָדָם	48 Who can live and never see death? Who can save himself from the clutches of Sheol?Pause
49 מִי גֶבֶר יִחְיֶה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה־מָּוֶת יְמַלֵּט נַפְשֹׁו מִיַּד־שְׁאֹול סֶלָה	49 Lord, what of those pledges of your faithful love? You made an oath to David by your constancy.
50 אַיֵּה ׀ חֲסָדֶיךָ הָרִאשֹׁנִים ׀ אֲדֹנָי נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לְדָוִד בֶּאֱמוּנָתֶךָ	50 Do not forget the insults to your servant; I take to heart the taunts of the nations,
51 זְכֹר אֲדֹנָי חֶרְפַּת עֲבָדֶיךָ שְׂאֵתִי בְחֵיקִי כָּל־רַבִּים עַמִּים	51 which your enemies have level ed, Yahweh, have level ed at the footsteps of your anointed!
52 אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ אֹויְבֶיךָ ׀ יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ עִקְּבֹות מְשִׁיחֶךָ	52 Blessed be Yahweh for ever. Amen, Amen.
53 בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה לְעֹולָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵן
