Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer. | 1 אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֶת־קֹ֝ולִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ | |
2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days. | 2 כִּֽי־הִטָּ֣ה אָזְנֹ֣ו לִ֑י וּבְיָמַ֥י אֶקְרָֽא׃ | |
3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. | 3 אֲפָפ֤וּנִי׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ול מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָגֹ֣ון אֶמְצָֽא׃ | |
4 Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble. | 4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א אָנָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַלְּטָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | |
5 The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy. | 5 חַנּ֣וּן יְהֹוָ֣ה וְצַדִּ֑יק וֵ֖אלֹהֵ֣ינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃ | |
6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour. | 6 שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לֹּותִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ | |
7 Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward. | 7 שׁוּבִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָ֑יְכִי כִּֽי־יְ֝הוָ֗ה גָּמַ֥ל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ | |
8 You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling. | 8 כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃ | |
9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living. | 9 אֶ֭תְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝אַרְצֹ֗ות הַֽחַיִּֽים׃ | |
10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble; | 10 הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֲ֝נִ֗י עָנִ֥יתִי מְאֹֽד׃ | |
11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false. | 11 אֲ֭נִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֑י כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֥ם כֹּזֵֽב׃ | |
12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me? | 12 מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלֹ֥והִי עָלָֽי׃ | |
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord. | 13 כֹּוס־יְשׁוּעֹ֥ות אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ | |
14 I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people. | 14 נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃ | |
15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. | 15 יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃ | |
16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken. | 16 אָֽנָּ֣ה יְהוָה֮ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֪י עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲֽנִי־עַ֭בְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶ֑ךָ פִּ֝תַּ֗חְתָּ לְמֹוסֵרָֽי׃ | |
17 I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord. | 17 לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תֹּודָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃ | |
18 I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people; | 18 נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃ | |
19 In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord. | 19 בְּחַצְרֹ֤ות׀ בֵּ֤ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּֽתֹ֘וכֵ֤כִי יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | |
