1I love you, LORD, my strength.
1למנצח לעבד יהוה לדוד אשר דבר ליהוה את דברי השירה הזאת ביום הציל יהוה אותו מכף כל איביו ומיד שאול ויאמר ארחמך יהוה חזקי׃
2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
2יהוה סלעי ומצודתי ומפלטי אלי צורי אחסה בו מגני וקרן ישעי משגבי׃
3I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
3מהלל אקרא יהוה ומן איבי אושע׃
4The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
4אפפוני חבלי מות ונחלי בליעל יבעתוני׃
5The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.
5חבלי שאול סבבוני קדמוני מוקשי מות׃
6In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
6בצר לי אקרא יהוה ואל אלהי אשוע ישמע מהיכלו קולי ושועתי לפניו תבוא באזניו׃
7Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
7ותגעש ותרעש הארץ ומוסדי הרים ירגזו ויתגעשו כי חרה לו׃
8Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
8עלה עשן באפו ואש מפיו תאכל גחלים בערו ממנו׃
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
9ויט שמים וירד וערפל תחת רגליו׃
10He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
10וירכב על כרוב ויעף וידא על כנפי רוח׃
11He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
11ישת חשך סתרו סביבותיו סכתו חשכת מים עבי שחקים׃
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
12מנגה נגדו עביו עברו ברד וגחלי אש׃
13The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
13וירעם בשמים יהוה ועליון יתן קלו ברד וגחלי אש׃
14He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
14וישלח חציו ויפיצם וברקים רב ויהמם׃
15Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
15ויראו אפיקי מים ויגלו מוסדות תבל מגערתך יהוה מנשמת רוח אפך׃
16He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
16ישלח ממרום יקחני ימשני ממים רבים׃
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
17יצילני מאיבי עז ומשנאי כי אמצו ממני׃
18They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
18יקדמוני ביום אידי ויהי יהוה למשען לי׃
19He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
19ויוציאני למרחב יחלצני כי חפץ בי׃
20The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
20יגמלני יהוה כצדקי כבר ידי ישיב לי׃
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
21כי שמרתי דרכי יהוה ולא רשעתי מאלהי׃
22For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
22כי כל משפטיו לנגדי וחקתיו לא אסיר מני׃
23I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
23ואהי תמים עמו ואשתמר מעוני׃
24Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
24וישב יהוה לי כצדקי כבר ידי לנגד עיניו׃
25With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
25עם חסיד תתחסד עם גבר תמים תתמם׃
26With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
26עם נבר תתברר ועם עקש תתפתל׃
27For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
27כי אתה עם עני תושיע ועינים רמות תשפיל׃
28For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
28כי אתה תאיר נרי יהוה אלהי יגיה חשכי׃
29For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
29כי בך ארץ גדוד ובאלהי אדלג שור׃
30As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
30האל תמים דרכו אמרת יהוה צרופה מגן הוא לכל החסים בו׃
31For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
31כי מי אלוה מבלעדי יהוה ומי צור זולתי אלהינו׃
32the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
32האל המאזרני חיל ויתן תמים דרכי׃
33He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
33משוה רגלי כאילות ועל במתי יעמידני׃
34He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
34מלמד ידי למלחמה ונחתה קשת נחושה זרועתי׃
35You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
35ותתן לי מגן ישעך וימינך תסעדני וענותך תרבני׃
36You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
36תרחיב צעדי תחתי ולא מעדו קרסלי׃
37I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
37ארדוף אויבי ואשיגם ולא אשוב עד כלותם׃
38I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
38אמחצם ולא יכלו קום יפלו תחת רגלי׃
39For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
39ותאזרני חיל למלחמה תכריע קמי תחתי׃
40You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
40ואיבי נתתה לי ערף ומשנאי אצמיתם׃
41They cried, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
41ישועו ואין מושיע על יהוה ולא ענם׃
42Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
42ואשחקם כעפר על פני רוח כטיט חוצות אריקם׃
43You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
43תפלטני מריבי עם תשימני לראש גוים עם לא ידעתי יעבדוני׃
44As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
44לשמע אזן ישמעו לי בני נכר יכחשו לי׃
45The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
45בני נכר יבלו ויחרגו ממסגרותיהם׃
46The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
46חי יהוה וברוך צורי וירום אלוהי ישעי׃
47even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
47האל הנותן נקמות לי וידבר עמים תחתי׃
48He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
48מפלטי מאיבי אף מן קמי תרוממני מאיש חמס תצילני׃
49Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
49על כן אודך בגוים יהוה ולשמך אזמרה׃
50He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
50מגדל ישועות מלכו ועשה חסד למשיחו לדוד ולזרעו עד עולם׃
