1 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

1 הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

2 יֹֽאמַר־נָ֥א יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

3 יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָ֥א בֵֽית־אַהֲרֹ֑ן כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

4 Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

4 יֹֽאמְרוּ־נָ֭א יִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

5 I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

5 מִֽן־הַ֭מֵּצַ֥ר קָרָ֣אתִי יָּ֑הּ עָנָ֖נִי בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב יָֽהּ׃

6 The Lord is on my side; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

6 יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה לִ֣י אָדָֽם׃

7 The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.

7 יְהוָ֣ה לִ֭י בְּעֹזְרָ֑י וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶרְאֶ֥ה בְשֹׂנְאָֽי׃

8 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in man.

8 טֹ֗וב לַחֲסֹ֥ות בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בָּאָדָֽם׃

9 It is better to have faith in the Lord than to put one's hope in rulers.

9 טֹ֗וב לַחֲסֹ֥ות בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃

10 All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

10 כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

11 They are round me, yes, they are all about me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

11 סַבּ֥וּנִי גַם־סְבָב֑וּנִי בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

12 They are round me like bees; but they are put out like a fire among thorns; for in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.

12 סַבּ֤וּנִי כִדְבֹורִ֗ים דֹּ֭עֲכוּ כְּאֵ֣שׁ קֹוצִ֑ים בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה כִּ֣י אֲמִילַֽם׃

13 I have been hard pushed by you, so that I might have a fall: but the Lord was my helper.

13 דַּחֹ֣ה דְחִיתַ֣נִי לִנְפֹּ֑ל וַ֖יהוָ֣ה עֲזָרָֽנִי׃

14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

14 עָזִּ֣י וְזִמְרָ֣ת יָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

15 The sound of joy and salvation is in the tents of the upright; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

15 קֹ֤ול׀ רִנָּ֬ה וִֽישׁוּעָ֗ה בְּאָהֳלֵ֥י צַדִּיקִ֑ים יְמִ֥ין יְ֝הוָה עֹ֣שָׂה חָֽיִל׃

16 The right hand of the Lord is lifted up; the right hand of the Lord does works of power.

16 יְמִ֣ין יְ֭הוָה רֹומֵמָ֑ה יְמִ֥ין יְ֝הוָה עֹ֣שָׂה חָֽיִל׃

17 Life and not death will be my part, and I will give out the story of the works of the Lord.

17 לֹֽא אָמ֥וּת כִּי־אֶֽחְיֶ֑ה וַ֝אֲסַפֵּ֗ר מַֽעֲשֵׂ֥י יָֽהּ׃

18 The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

18 יַסֹּ֣ר יִסְּרַ֣נִּי יָּ֑הּ וְ֝לַמָּ֗וֶת לֹ֣א נְתָנָֽנִי׃

19 Let the doors of righteousness be open to me; I will go in and give praise to the Lord.

19 פִּתְחוּ־לִ֥י שַׁעֲרֵי־צֶ֑דֶק אָֽבֹא־בָ֝ם אֹודֶ֥ה יָֽהּ׃

20 This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

20 זֶֽה־הַשַּׁ֥עַר לַיהוָ֑ה צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים יָבֹ֥אוּ בֹֽו׃

21 I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.

21 אֹ֭ודְךָ כִּ֣י עֲנִיתָ֑נִי וַתְּהִי־לִ֝֗י לִֽישׁוּעָֽה׃

22 The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.

22 אֶ֭בֶן מָאֲס֣וּ הַבֹּונִ֑ים הָ֝יְתָ֗ה לְרֹ֣אשׁ פִּנָּֽה׃

23 This is the Lord's doing; it is a wonder in our eyes.

23 מֵאֵ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הָ֣יְתָה זֹּ֑את הִ֖יא נִפְלָ֣את בְּעֵינֵֽינוּ׃

24 This is the day which the Lord has made; we will be full of joy and delight in it.

24 זֶה־הַ֭יֹּום עָשָׂ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה נָגִ֖ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָ֣ה בֹֽו׃

25 Send salvation now, O Lord; Lord, send us your blessing.

25 אָנָּ֣א יְ֭הוָה הֹושִׁ֘יעָ֥ה נָּ֑א אָֽנָּ֥א יְ֝הוָ֗ה הַצְלִ֘יחָ֥ה נָּֽא׃

26 A blessing be on him who comes in the name of the Lord; we give you blessing from the house of the Lord.

26 בָּר֣וּךְ הַ֭בָּא בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה בֵּ֝רַֽכְנוּכֶ֗ם מִבֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃

27 The Lord is God, and he has given us light; let the holy dance be ordered with branches, even up to the horns of the altar.

27 אֵ֤ל׀ יְהוָה֮ וַיָּ֪אֶר לָ֥נוּ אִסְרוּ־חַ֥ג בַּעֲבֹתִ֑ים עַד־קַ֝רְנֹ֗ות הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃

28 You are my God, and I will give you praise; my God, and I will give honour to your name.

28 אֵלִ֣י אַתָּ֣ה וְאֹודֶ֑ךָּ אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֲרֹומְמֶֽךָּ׃

29 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

29 הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃
