1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

1 שִׁ֖יר מִזְמֹ֣ור לְדָוִֽד׃

2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

2 נָכֹ֣ון לִבִּ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָשִׁ֥ירָה וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה אַף־כְּבֹודִֽי׃

3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.

3 ע֭וּרָֽה הַנֵּ֥בֶל וְכִנֹּ֗ור אָעִ֥ירָה שָּֽׁחַר׃

4 For great above the heavens `is' Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

4 אֹודְךָ֖ בָעַמִּ֥ים׀ יְהוָ֑ה וַ֝אֲזַמֶּרְךָ֗ בַּל־אֻמִּֽים׃

5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

5 כִּֽי־גָדֹ֣ול מֵֽעַל־שָׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְֽעַד־שְׁחָקִ֥ים אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃

6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save `with' Thy right hand, and answer us.

6 ר֣וּמָה עַל־שָׁמַ֣יִם אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְעַ֖ל כָּל־הָאָ֣רֶץ כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃

7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

7 לְ֭מַעַן יֵחָלְצ֣וּן יְדִידֶ֑יךָ הֹושִׁ֖יעָה יְמִֽינְךָ֣ וַעֲנֵֽנִי׃

8 Mine `is' Gilead, mine `is' Manasseh, And Ephraim `is' the strength of my head, Judah `is' my lawgiver,

8 אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ דִּבֶּ֥ר בְּקָדְשֹׁ֗ו אֶעְלֹ֥זָה אֲחַלְּקָ֥ה שְׁכֶ֑ם וְעֵ֖מֶק סֻכֹּ֣ות אֲמַדֵּֽד׃

9 Moab `is' a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

9 לִ֤י גִלְעָ֨ד׀ לִ֤י מְנַשֶּׁ֗ה וְ֭אֶפְרַיִם מָעֹ֣וז רֹאשִׁ֑י יְ֝הוּדָ֗ה מְחֹקְקִֽי׃

10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

10 מֹואָ֤ב׀ סִ֬יר רַחְצִ֗י עַל־אֱ֭דֹום אַשְׁלִ֣יךְ נַעֲלִ֑י עֲלֵֽי־פְ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת אֶתְרֹועָֽע׃

11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

11 מִ֣י יֹ֭בִלֵנִי עִ֣יר מִבְצָ֑ר מִ֖י נָחַ֣נִי עַד־אֱדֹֽום׃

12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

12 הֲלֹֽא־אֱלֹהִ֥ים זְנַחְתָּ֑נוּ וְֽלֹא־תֵצֵ֥א אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בְּצִבְאֹתֵֽינוּ׃

13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!

13 הָֽבָה־לָּ֣נוּ עֶזְרָ֣ת מִצָּ֑ר וְ֝שָׁ֗וְא תְּשׁוּעַ֥ת אָדָֽם׃
