א מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד; בִּהְיוֹתוֹ, בְּמִדְבַּר יְהוּדָה.

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
|
ב אֱלֹהִים, אֵלִי אַתָּה-- אֲשַׁחֲרֶךָּ:
צָמְאָה לְךָ, נַפְשִׁי-- כָּמַהּ לְךָ בְשָׂרִי;
בְּאֶרֶץ-צִיָּה וְעָיֵף בְּלִי-מָיִם.
|
2 O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; {N}
my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, {N}
in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
|
|
ג כֵּן, בַּקֹּדֶשׁ חֲזִיתִךָ-- לִרְאוֹת עֻזְּךָ, וּכְבוֹדֶךָ.
|
3 So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
|
|
ד כִּי-טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ, מֵחַיִּים; שְׂפָתַי יְשַׁבְּחוּנְךָ.
|
4 For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.
|
|
ה כֵּן אֲבָרֶכְךָ בְחַיָּי; בְּשִׁמְךָ, אֶשָּׂא כַפָּי.
|
5 So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.
|
|
ו כְּמוֹ חֵלֶב וָדֶשֶׁן, תִּשְׂבַּע נַפְשִׁי; וְשִׂפְתֵי רְנָנוֹת, יְהַלֶּל-פִּי.
|
6 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
|
|
ז אִם-זְכַרְתִּיךָ עַל-יְצוּעָי-- בְּאַשְׁמֻרוֹת, אֶהְגֶּה-בָּךְ.
|
7 When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.
|
|
ח כִּי-הָיִיתָ עֶזְרָתָה לִּי; וּבְצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּן.
|
8 For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.
|
|
ט דָּבְקָה נַפְשִׁי אַחֲרֶיךָ; בִּי, תָּמְכָה יְמִינֶךָ.
|
9 My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
|
|
י וְהֵמָּה--לְשׁוֹאָה, יְבַקְשׁוּ נַפְשִׁי; יָבֹאוּ, בְּתַחְתִּיּוֹת הָאָרֶץ.
|
10 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
|
|
יא יַגִּירֻהוּ, עַל-יְדֵי-חָרֶב; מְנָת שֻׁעָלִים יִהְיוּ.
|
11 They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
|
יב וְהַמֶּלֶךְ, יִשְׂמַח בֵּאלֹהִים:
יִתְהַלֵּל, כָּל-הַנִּשְׁבָּע בּוֹ-- כִּי יִסָּכֵר, פִּי דוֹבְרֵי-שָׁקֶר.
|
12 But the king shall rejoice in God; {N}
every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. {P}
