Hear
שִׁמְעָ֤ה
O LORD
יְהוָ֨ה׀
the right
צֶ֗דֶק
attend
הַקְשִׁ֥יבָה
unto my cry
רִנָּתִ֗י
give ear
הַאֲזִ֥ינָה
A Prayer
תְפִלָּתִ֑י
that goeth not
בְּ֝לֹ֗א
lips
שִׂפְתֵ֥י
out of feigned
מִרְמָֽה׃
2
from thy presence
מִ֭לְּפָנֶיךָ
Let my sentence
מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י
come forth
יֵצֵ֑א
let thine eyes
עֵ֝ינֶ֗יךָ
behold
תֶּחֱזֶ֥ינָה
the things that are equal
מֵישָׁרִֽים׃
3
Thou hast proved
בָּ֘חַ֤נְתָּ
mine heart
לִבִּ֨י׀
thou hast visited
פָּ֘קַ֤דְתָּ
me in the night
לַּ֗יְלָה
thou hast tried
צְרַפְתַּ֥נִי
 
בַל
me and shalt find
תִּמְצָ֑א
nothing I am purposed
זַ֝מֹּתִ֗י
 
בַּל
shall not transgress
יַעֲבָר
that my mouth
פִּֽי׃
4
Concerning the works
לִפְעֻלּ֣וֹת
of men
אָ֭דָם
by the word
בִּדְבַ֣ר
of thy lips
שְׂפָתֶ֑יךָ
 
אֲנִ֥י
I have kept
שָׁ֝מַ֗רְתִּי
me from the paths
אָרְח֥וֹת
of the destroyer
פָּרִֽיץ׃
5
Hold up
תָּמֹ֣ךְ
my goings
אֲ֭שֻׁרַי
in thy paths
בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתֶ֑יךָ
 
בַּל
slip
נָמ֥וֹטּוּ
that my footsteps
פְעָמָֽי׃
6
 
אֲנִֽי
I have called
קְרָאתִ֣יךָ
 
כִֽי
upon thee for thou wilt hear
תַעֲנֵ֣נִי
me O God
אֵ֑ל
incline
הַֽט
thine ear
אָזְנְךָ֥
 
לִ֝֗י
unto me and hear
שְׁמַ֣ע
my speech
אִמְרָתִֽי׃
7
Shew thy marvellous
הַפְלֵ֣ה
lovingkindness
חֲ֭סָדֶיךָ
O thou that savest
מוֹשִׁ֣יעַ
them which put their trust
חוֹסִ֑ים
in thee from those that rise up
מִ֝מִּתְקוֹמְמִ֗ים
by thy right hand
בִּֽימִינֶֽךָ׃
8
Keep
שָׁ֭מְרֵנִי
me as the apple
כְּאִישׁ֣וֹן
of the eye
בַּת
 
עָ֑יִן
me under the shadow
בְּצֵ֥ל
of thy wings
כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ
hide
תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִי׃
9
From
מִפְּנֵ֣י
the wicked
רְ֭שָׁעִים
that
ז֣וּ
oppress
שַׁדּ֑וּנִי
enemies
אֹיְבַ֥י
me from my deadly
בְּ֝נֶ֗פֶשׁ
who compass me about
יַקִּ֥יפוּ
 
עָלָֽי׃
10
in their own fat
חֶלְבָּ֥מוֹ
They are inclosed
סָּגְר֑וּ
with their mouth
פִּ֝֗ימוֹ
they speak
דִּבְּר֥וּ
proudly
בְגֵאֽוּת׃
11
us in our steps
אַ֭שֻּׁרֵינוּ
 
עַתָּ֣ה
They have now compassed
סְבָב֑וּניּ
their eyes
עֵינֵיהֶ֥ם
they have set
יָ֝שִׁ֗יתוּ
bowing down
לִנְט֥וֹת
to the earth
בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
12
Like
דִּמְיֹנ֗וֹ
as a lion
כְּ֭אַרְיֵה
that is greedy
יִכְס֣וֹף
of his prey
לִטְר֑וֹף
and as it were a young lion
וְ֝כִכְפִ֗יר
lurking
יֹשֵׁ֥ב
in secret places
בְּמִסְתָּרִֽים׃
13
Arise
קוּמָ֤ה
O LORD
יְהוָ֗ה
disappoint
קַדְּמָ֣ה
him
פָ֭נָיו
cast him down
הַכְרִיעֵ֑הוּ
deliver
פַּלְּטָ֥ה
my soul
נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י
from the wicked
מֵרָשָׁ֥ע
which is thy sword
חַרְבֶּֽךָ׃
14
From men
מִֽמְתִ֬ים
which are thy hand
יָדְךָ֙׀
O LORD
יְהוָ֡ה
From men
מִֽמְתִ֬ים
of the world
מֵחֶ֗לֶד
which have their portion
חֶלְקָ֥ם
in this life
בַּֽחַיִּים֮
with thy hid
וּֽצְפיּנְךָ֮
thou fillest
תְּמַלֵּ֪א
and whose belly
בִ֫טְנָ֥ם
treasure they are full
יִשְׂבְּע֥וּ
of children
בָנִ֑ים
and leave
וְהִנִּ֥יחוּ
the rest
יִ֝תְרָ֗ם
of their substance to their babes
לְעוֹלְלֵיהֶֽם׃
15
 
אֲנִ֗י
in righteousness
בְּ֭צֶדֶק
As for me I will behold
אֶחֱזֶ֣ה
thy face
פָנֶ֑יךָ
I shall be satisfied
אֶשְׂבְּעָ֥ה
when I awake
בְ֝הָקִ֗יץ
with thy likeness
תְּמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃
