1Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
1למנצח לידיתון מזמור לדוד אמרתי אשמרה דרכי מחטוא בלשוני אשמרה לפי מחסום בעד רשע לנגדי׃
2With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
2נאלמתי דומיה החשיתי מטוב וכאבי נעכר׃
3And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
3חם לבי בקרבי בהגיגי תבער אש דברתי בלשוני׃
4And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
4הודיעני יהוה קצי ומדת ימי מה היא אדעה מה חדל אני׃
5Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
5הנה טפחות נתתה ימי וחלדי כאין נגדך אך כל הבל כל אדם נצב סלה׃
6Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
6אך בצלם יתהלך איש אך הבל יהמיון יצבר ולא ידע מי אספם׃
7Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
7ועתה מה קויתי אדני תוחלתי לך היא׃
8Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
8מכל פשעי הצילני חרפת נבל אל תשימני׃
9That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
9נאלמתי לא אפתח פי כי אתה עשית׃
10I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
10הסר מעלי נגעך מתגרת ידך אני כליתי׃
11I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
11בתוכחות על עון יסרת איש ותמס כעש חמודו אך הבל כל אדם סלה׃
12Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
12שמעה תפלתי יהוה ושועתי האזינה אל דמעתי אל תחרש כי גר אנכי עמך תושב ככל אבותי׃
13For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
13השע ממני ואבליגה בטרם אלך ואינני׃
14Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
