1 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise `is' comely.

1 רַנְּנ֣וּ צַ֭דִּיקִים בַּֽיהוָ֑ה לַ֝יְשָׁרִ֗ים נָאוָ֥ה תְהִלָּֽה׃

2 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,

2 הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה בְּכִנֹּ֑ור בְּנֵ֥בֶל עָ֝שֹׂ֗ור זַמְּרוּ־לֹֽו׃

3 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.

3 שִֽׁירוּ־לֹ֖ו שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ הֵיטִ֥יבוּ נַ֝גֵּ֗ן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃

4 For upright `is' the word of Jehovah, And all His work `is' in faithfulness.

4 כִּֽי־יָשָׁ֥ר דְּבַר־יְהוָ֑ה וְכָל־מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗הוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָֽה׃

5 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.

5 אֹ֭הֵב צְדָקָ֣ה וּמִשְׁפָּ֑ט חֶ֥סֶד יְ֝הוָ֗ה מָלְאָ֥ה הָאָֽרֶץ׃

6 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

6 בִּדְבַ֣ר יְ֭הוָה שָׁמַ֣יִם נַעֲשׂ֑וּ וּבְר֥וּחַ פִּ֝֗יו כָּל־צְבָאָֽם׃

7 Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.

7 כֹּנֵ֣ס כַּ֭נֵּד מֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם נֹתֵ֖ן בְּאֹצָרֹ֣ות תְּהֹומֹֽות׃

8 Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.

8 יִֽירְא֣וּ מֵ֭יְהוָה כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ מִמֶּ֥נּוּ יָ֝ג֗וּרוּ כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֥י תֵבֵֽל׃

9 For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.

9 כִּ֤י ה֣וּא אָמַ֣ר וַיֶּ֑הִי הֽוּא־צִ֝וָּ֗ה וַֽיַּעֲמֹֽד׃

10 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples.

10 יְֽהוָ֗ה הֵפִ֥יר עֲצַת־גֹּויִ֑ם הֵ֝נִ֗יא מַחְשְׁבֹ֥ות עַמִּֽים׃

11 The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts of His heart to all generations.

11 עֲצַ֣ת יְ֭הוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם תַּעֲמֹ֑ד מַחְשְׁבֹ֥ות לִ֝בֹּ֗ו לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

12 O the happiness of the nation whose God `is' Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

12 אַשְׁרֵ֣י הַ֭גֹּוי אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו הָעָ֓ם׀ בָּחַ֖ר לְנַחֲלָ֣ה לֹֽו׃

13 From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.

13 מִ֭שָּׁמַיִם הִבִּ֣יט יְהוָ֑ה רָ֝אָ֗ה אֶֽת־כָּל־בְּנֵ֥י הָאָדָֽם׃

14 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;

14 מִֽמְּכֹון־שִׁבְתֹּ֥ו הִשְׁגִּ֑יחַ אֶ֖ל כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָֽרֶץ׃

15 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works.

15 הַיֹּצֵ֣ר יַ֣חַד לִבָּ֑ם הַ֝מֵּבִ֗ין אֶל־כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃

16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.

16 אֵֽין־הַ֭מֶּלֶךְ נֹושָׁ֣ע בְּרָב־חָ֑יִל גִּ֝בֹּ֗ור לֹֽא־יִנָּצֵ֥ל בְּרָב־כֹּֽחַ׃

17 A false thing `is' the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.

17 שֶׁ֣קֶר הַ֭סּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָ֑ה וּבְרֹ֥ב חֵ֝ילֹ֗ו לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט׃

18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah `is' to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

18 הִנֵּ֤ה עֵ֣ין יְ֭הוָה אֶל־יְרֵאָ֑יו לַֽמְיַחֲלִ֥ים לְחַסְדֹּֽו׃

19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.

19 לְהַצִּ֣יל מִמָּ֣וֶת נַפְשָׁ֑ם וּ֝לְחַיֹּותָ֗ם בָּרָעָֽב׃

20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield `is' He,

20 נַ֭פְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָ֣ה לַֽיהוָ֑ה עֶזְרֵ֖נוּ וּמָגִנֵּ֣נוּ הֽוּא׃

21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.

21 כִּי־בֹ֭ו יִשְׂמַ֣ח לִבֵּ֑נוּ כִּ֤י בְשֵׁ֖ם קָדְשֹׁ֣ו בָטָֽחְנוּ׃

22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!

22 יְהִֽי־חַסְדְּךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה עָלֵ֑ינוּ כַּ֝אֲשֶׁ֗ר יִחַ֥לְנוּ לָֽךְ׃
