Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 <To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. A Song.> Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him. | 1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לְדָוִ֗ד מִזְמֹ֥ור שִֽׁיר׃ | |
2 Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God. | 2 יָק֣וּם אֱ֭לֹהִים יָפ֣וּצוּ אֹויְבָ֑יו וְיָנ֥וּסוּ מְ֝שַׂנְאָ֗יו מִפָּנָֽיו׃ | |
3 But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy. | 3 כְּהִנְדֹּ֥ף עָשָׁ֗ן תִּ֫נְדֹּ֥ף כְּהִמֵּ֣ס דֹּ֭ונַג מִפְּנֵי־אֵ֑שׁ יֹאבְד֥וּ רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | |
4 Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him. | 4 וְֽצַדִּיקִ֗ים יִשְׂמְח֣וּ יַֽ֭עַלְצוּ לִפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִ֗ים וְיָשִׂ֥ישׂוּ בְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ | |
5 A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place. | 5 שִׁ֤ירוּ׀ לֵֽאלֹהִים֮ זַמְּר֪וּ שְׁ֫מֹ֥ו סֹ֡לּוּ לָרֹכֵ֣ב בָּ֭עֲרָבֹות בְּיָ֥הּ שְׁמֹ֗ו וְעִלְז֥וּ לְפָנָֽיו׃ | |
6 Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land. | 6 אֲבִ֣י יְ֭תֹומִים וְדַיַּ֣ן אַלְמָנֹ֑ות אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בִּמְעֹ֥ון קָדְשֹֽׁו׃ | |
7 O God, when you went out before your people, wandering through the waste land; (Selah.) | 7 אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ מֹ֘ושִׁ֤יב יְחִידִ֨ים׀ בַּ֗יְתָה מֹוצִ֣יא אֲ֭סִירִים בַּכֹּושָׁרֹ֑ות אַ֥ךְ סֹ֝ורֲרִ֗ים שָׁכְנ֥וּ צְחִיחָֽה׃ | |
8 The earth was shaking and the heavens were streaming, because God was present; even Sinai itself was moved before God, the God of Israel. | 8 אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים בְּ֭צֵאתְךָ לִפְנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּצַעְדְּךָ֖ בִֽישִׁימֹ֣ון סֶֽלָה׃ | |
9 You, O God, did freely send the rain, giving strength to the weariness of your heritage. | 9 אֶ֤רֶץ רָעָ֨שָׁה׀ אַף־שָׁמַ֣יִם נָטְפוּ֮ מִפְּנֵ֪י אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים זֶ֥ה סִינַ֑י מִפְּנֵ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | |
10 Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God. | 10 גֶּ֣שֶׁם נְ֭דָבֹות תָּנִ֣יף אֱלֹהִ֑ים נַחֲלָתְךָ֥ וְ֝נִלְאָ֗ה אַתָּ֥ה כֹֽונַנְתָּֽהּ׃ | |
11 The Lord gives the word; great is the number of the women who make it public. | 11 חַיָּתְךָ֥ יָֽשְׁבוּ־בָ֑הּ תָּ֤כִ֥ין בְּטֹובָתְךָ֖ לֶעָנִ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | |
12 Kings of armies quickly go in flight: and the women in the houses make a division of their goods. | 12 אֲדֹנָ֥י יִתֶּן־אֹ֑מֶר הַֽ֝מְבַשְּׂרֹ֗ות צָבָ֥א רָֽב׃ | |
13 Will you take your rest among the flocks? like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its feathers with yellow gold. | 13 מַלְכֵ֣י צְ֭בָאֹות יִדֹּד֣וּן יִדֹּד֑וּן וּנְוַת בַּ֝֗יִת תְּחַלֵּ֥ק שָׁלָֽל׃ | |
14 When the Most High put the kings to flight, it was as white as snow in Salmon. | 14 אִֽם־תִּשְׁכְּבוּן֮ בֵּ֪ין שְׁפַ֫תָּ֥יִם כַּנְפֵ֣י יֹ֭ונָה נֶחְפָּ֣ה בַכֶּ֑סֶף וְ֝אֶבְרֹותֶ֗יהָ בִּֽירַקְרַ֥ק חָרֽוּץ׃ | |
15 A hill of God is the hill of Bashan; a hill with high tops is the hill of Bashan. | 15 בְּפָ֘רֵ֤שׂ שַׁדַּ֓י מְלָ֘כִ֤ים בָּ֗הּ תַּשְׁלֵ֥ג בְּצַלְמֹֽון׃ | |
16 Why are you looking with envy, you high hills, on the hill desired by God as his resting-place? truly, God will make it his house for ever. | 16 הַר־אֱ֭לֹהִים הַר־בָּשָׁ֑ן הַ֥ר גַּ֝בְנֻנִּ֗ים הַר־בָּשָֽׁן׃ | |
17 The war-carriage of God is among Israel's thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai to the holy place. | 17 לָ֤מָּה׀ תְּֽרַצְּדוּן֮ הָרִ֪ים גַּבְנֻ֫נִּ֥ים הָהָ֗ר חָמַ֣ד אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְשִׁבְתֹּ֑ו אַף־יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן לָנֶֽצַח׃ | |
18 You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power. | 18 רֶ֤כֶב אֱלֹהִ֗ים רִבֹּתַ֣יִם אַלְפֵ֣י שִׁנְאָ֑ן אֲדֹנָ֥י בָ֝֗ם סִינַ֥י בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | |
19 Praise be to the Lord, who is our support day by day, even the God of our salvation. (Selah.) | 19 עָ֘לִ֤יתָ לַמָּרֹ֨ום׀ שָׁ֘בִ֤יתָ שֶּׁ֗בִי לָקַ֣חְתָּ מַ֭תָּנֹות בָּאָדָ֑ם וְאַ֥ף סֹ֝ורְרִ֗ים לִשְׁכֹּ֤ן׀ יָ֬הּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | |
20 Our God is for us a God of salvation; his are the ways out of death. | 20 בָּ֤ר֣וּךְ אֲדֹנָי֮ יֹ֤ום׀ יֹ֥ום יַֽעֲמָס־לָ֗נוּ הָ֘אֵ֤ל יְֽשׁוּעָתֵ֬נוּ סֶֽלָה׃ | |
21 The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways. | 21 הָ֤אֵ֣ל׀ לָנוּ֮ אֵ֤ל לְֽמֹושָׁ֫עֹ֥ות וְלֵיהוִ֥ה אֲדֹנָ֑י לַ֝מָּ֗וֶת תֹּוצָאֹֽות׃ | |
22 The Lord said, I will make them come back from Bashan, and from the deep parts of the sea; | 22 אַךְ־אֱלֹהִ֗ים יִמְחַץ֮ רֹ֤אשׁ אֹ֫יְבָ֥יו קָדְקֹ֥ד שֵׂעָ֑ר מִ֝תְהַלֵּ֗ךְ בַּאֲשָׁמָֽיו׃ | |
23 So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same. | 23 אָמַ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי מִבָּשָׁ֣ן אָשִׁ֑יב אָ֝שִׁ֗יב מִֽמְּצֻלֹ֥ות יָֽם׃ | |
24 We see your going, O God: even the going of my God, my King, into the holy place. | 24 לְמַ֤עַן׀ תִּֽמְחַ֥ץ רַגְלְךָ֗ בְּ֫דָ֥ם לְשֹׁ֥ון כְּלָבֶ֑יךָ מֵאֹיְבִ֥ים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃ | |
25 The makers of songs go before, the players of music come after, among the young girls playing on brass instruments. | 25 רָא֣וּ הֲלִיכֹותֶ֣יךָ אֱלֹהִ֑ים הֲלִ֘יכֹ֤ות אֵלִ֖י מַלְכִּ֣י בַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | |
26 Give praise to God in the great meeting; even the Lord, you who come from the fountain of Israel. | 26 קִדְּמ֣וּ רִים אַחַ֣ר נֹגְנִ֑ים בְּתֹ֥וךְ עֲ֝לָמֹ֗ות תֹּופֵפֹֽות׃ | |
27 There is little Benjamin ruling them, the chiefs of Judah and their army, the rulers of Zebulun and the rulers of Naphtali. | 27 בְּֽ֭מַקְהֵלֹות בָּרְכ֣וּ אֱלֹהִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִמְּקֹ֥ור יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | |
28 O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us, | 28 שָׁ֤ם בִּנְיָמִ֨ן׀ צָעִ֡יר רֹדֵ֗ם שָׂרֵ֣י יְ֭הוּדָה רִגְמָתָ֑ם שָׂרֵ֥י זְ֝בֻל֗וּן שָׂרֵ֥י נַפְתָּלִֽי׃ | |
29 Out of your Temple in Jerusalem. | 29 צִוָּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ עֻ֫זֶּ֥ךָ עוּזָּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֑ים ז֝֗וּ פָּעַ֥לְתָּ לָּֽנוּ׃ | |
30 Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war. | 30 מֵֽ֭הֵיכָלֶךָ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לְךָ֤ יֹובִ֖ילוּ מְלָכִ֣ים שָֽׁי׃ | |
31 Kings will give you offerings, they will come out of Egypt; from Pathros will come offerings of silver; Ethiopia will be stretching out her hands to God. | 31 גְּעַ֨ר חַיַּ֪ת קָנֶ֡ה עֲדַ֤ת אַבִּירִ֨ים׀ בְּעֶגְלֵ֬י עַמִּ֗ים מִתְרַפֵּ֥ס בְּרַצֵּי־כָ֑סֶף בִּזַּ֥ר עַ֝מִּ֗ים קְרָבֹ֥ות יֶחְפָּֽצוּ׃ | |
32 Make songs to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O make songs of praise to the Lord; (Selah.) | 32 יֶאֱתָ֣יוּ חַ֭שְׁמַנִּים מִנִּ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם כּ֥וּשׁ תָּרִ֥יץ יָ֝דָ֗יו לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ | |
33 To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power. | 33 מַמְלְכֹ֣ות הָ֭אָרֶץ שִׁ֣ירוּ לֵאלֹהִ֑ים זַמְּר֖וּ אֲדֹנָ֣י סֶֽלָה׃ | |
34 Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds. | 34 לָ֭רֹכֵב בִּשְׁמֵ֣י שְׁמֵי־קֶ֑דֶם הֵ֥ן יִתֵּ֥ן בְּ֝קֹולֹו קֹ֣ול עֹֽז׃ | |
35 O God, you are to be feared in your holy place: the God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God. | 35 תְּנ֥וּ עֹ֗ז לֵֽאלֹ֫הִ֥ים עַֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל גַּאֲוָתֹ֑ו וְ֝עֻזֹּ֗ו בַּשְּׁחָקִֽים׃ | |
