JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ עַֽל־שֹׁושַׁנִּ֬ים לְדָוִֽד׃
1(69-1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. (69-2) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.
2הֹושִׁיעֵ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֤י בָ֖אוּ מַ֣יִם עַד־נָֽפֶשׁ׃
2(69-3) I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.
3טָבַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵ֣ן מְ֭צוּלָה וְאֵ֣ין מָעֳמָ֑ד בָּ֥אתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַ֝֗יִם וְשִׁבֹּ֥לֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִי׃
3(69-4) I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4יָגַ֣עְתִּי בְקָרְאִי֮ נִחַ֪ר גְּרֹ֫ונִ֥י כָּל֥וּ עֵינַ֑י מְ֝יַחֵ֗ל לֵאלֹהָֽי׃
4(69-5) They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away?
5רַבּ֤וּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲרֹ֣ות רֹאשִׁי֮ שֹׂנְאַ֪י חִ֫נָּ֥ם עָצְמ֣וּ מַ֭צְמִיתַי אֹיְבַ֣י שֶׁ֑קֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־גָ֝זַ֗לְתִּי אָ֣ז אָשִֽׁיב׃
5(69-6) O God, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee.
6אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּ֑י וְ֝אַשְׁמֹותַ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־נִכְחָֽדוּ׃
6(69-7) Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O God of Israel.
7אַל־יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ בִ֨י ׀ קֹוֶיךָ֮ אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֗ה צְבָ֫אֹ֥ות אַל־יִכָּ֣לְמוּ בִ֣י מְבַקְשֶׁ֑יךָ אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
7(69-8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
8כִּֽי־עָ֭לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֣אתִי חֶרְפָּ֑ה כִּסְּתָ֖ה כְלִמָּ֣ה פָנָֽי׃
8(69-9) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9מ֖וּזָר הָיִ֣יתִי לְאֶחָ֑י וְ֝נָכְרִ֗י לִבְנֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃
9(69-10) Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.
10כִּֽי־קִנְאַ֣ת בֵּיתְךָ֣ אֲכָלָ֑תְנִי וְחֶרְפֹּ֥ות חֹ֝ורְפֶ֗יךָ נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃
10(69-11) And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.
11וָאֶבְכֶּ֣ה בַצֹּ֣ום נַפְשִׁ֑י וַתְּהִ֖י לַחֲרָפֹ֣ות לִֽי׃
11(69-12) I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.
12וָאֶתְּנָ֣ה לְבוּשִׁ֣י שָׂ֑ק וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמָשָֽׁל׃
12(69-13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.
13יָשִׂ֣יחוּ בִ֭י יֹ֣שְׁבֵי שָׁ֑עַר וּ֝נְגִינֹ֗ות שֹׁותֵ֥י שֵׁכָֽר׃
13(69-14) But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation.
14וַאֲנִ֤י תְפִלָּתִֽי־לְךָ֨ ׀ יְהוָ֡ה עֵ֤ת רָצֹ֗ון אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּרָב־חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בֶּאֱמֶ֥ת יִשְׁעֶֽךָ׃
14(69-15) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15הַצִּילֵ֣נִי מִ֭טִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּ֑עָה אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗י וּמִמַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־מָֽיִם׃
15(69-16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵ֤נִי ׀ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת מַ֭יִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵ֣נִי מְצוּלָ֑ה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַ֖י בְּאֵ֣ר פִּֽיהָ׃
16(69-17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.
17עֲנֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה כִּי־טֹ֣וב חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ כְּרֹ֥ב רַ֝חֲמֶ֗יךָ פְּנֵ֣ה אֵלָֽי׃
17(69-18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
18וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נֶיךָ מֵֽעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־צַר־לִ֝֗י מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃
18(69-19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.
19קָרְבָ֣ה אֶל־נַפְשִׁ֣י גְאָלָ֑הּ לְמַ֖עַן אֹיְבַ֣י פְּדֵֽנִי׃
19(69-20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.
20אַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִ֣י וּ֭בָשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִ֑י נֶ֝גְדְּךָ֗ כָּל־צֹורְרָֽי׃
20(69-21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21חֶרְפָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׁבְרָ֥ה לִבִּ֗י וָֽאָ֫נ֥וּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּ֣ה לָנ֣וּד וָאַ֑יִן וְ֝לַמְנַחֲמִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א מָצָֽאתִי׃
21(69-22) Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22וַיִּתְּנ֣וּ בְּבָרוּתִ֣י רֹ֑אשׁ וְ֝לִצְמָאִ֗י יַשְׁק֥וּנִי חֹֽמֶץ׃
22(69-23) Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
23יְהִֽי־שֻׁלְחָנָ֣ם לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם לְפָ֑ח וְלִשְׁלֹומִ֥ים לְמֹוקֵֽשׁ׃
23(69-24) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter.
24תֶּחְשַׁ֣כְנָה עֵ֭ינֵיהֶם מֵרְאֹ֑ות וּ֝מָתְנֵ֗יהֶם תָּמִ֥יד הַמְעַֽד׃
24(69-25) Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.
25שְׁפָךְ־עֲלֵיהֶ֥ם זַעְמֶ֑ךָ וַחֲרֹ֥ון אַ֝פְּךָ֗ יַשִּׂיגֵֽם׃
25(69-26) Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
26תְּהִי־טִֽירָתָ֥ם נְשַׁמָּ֑ה בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יְהִ֥י יֹשֵֽׁב׃
26(69-27) For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.
27כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּ֣יתָ רָדָ֑פוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאֹ֖וב חֲלָלֶ֣יךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃
27(69-28) Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
28תְּֽנָה־עָ֭וֹן עַל־עֲוֹנָ֑ם וְאַל־יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃
28(69-29) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29יִ֭מָּחֽוּ מִסֵּ֣פֶר חַיִּ֑ים וְעִ֥ם צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּ׃
29(69-30) But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30וַ֭אֲנִי עָנִ֣י וְכֹואֵ֑ב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ֖ אֱלֹהִ֣ים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃
30(69-31) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
31אֲהַֽלְלָ֣ה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּשִׁ֑יר וַאֲגַדְּלֶ֥נּוּ בְתֹודָֽה׃
31(69-32) And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32וְתִיטַ֣ב לַֽ֭יהוָה מִשֹּׁ֥ור פָּ֗ר מַקְרִ֥ן מַפְרִֽיס׃
32(69-33) The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after God, let your heart revive.
33רָא֣וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים יִשְׂמָ֑חוּ דֹּרְשֵׁ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וִיחִ֥י לְבַבְכֶֽם׃
33(69-34) For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners.
34כִּֽי־שֹׁמֵ֣עַ אֶל־אֶבְיֹונִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶת־אֲ֝סִירָ֗יו לֹ֣א בָזָֽה׃
34(69-35) Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35יְֽ֭הַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם וָאָ֑רֶץ יַ֝מִּ֗ים וְֽכָל־רֹמֵ֥שׂ בָּֽם׃
35(69-36) For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
36כִּ֤י אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ יֹ֘ושִׁ֤יעַ צִיֹּ֗ון וְ֭יִבְנֶה עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה וְיָ֥שְׁבוּ שָׁ֝֗ם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃
36(69-37) The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.
37וְזֶ֣רַע עֲ֭בָדָיו יִנְחָל֑וּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁ֝מֹ֗ו יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃
