1 In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

1 בְּךָֽ־יְהוָ֥ה חָסִ֑יתִי אַל־אֵבֹ֥ושָׁה לְעֹולָֽם׃

2 Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

2 בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֗ תַּצִּילֵ֥נִי וּֽתְפַלְּטֵ֑נִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥י אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ וְהֹושִׁיעֵֽנִי׃

3 Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

3 הֱיֵ֤ה לִ֨י׀ לְצ֥וּר מָעֹ֡ון לָבֹ֗וא תָּמִ֗יד צִוִּ֥יתָ לְהֹושִׁיעֵ֑נִי כִּֽי־סַלְעִ֖י וּמְצוּדָתִ֣י אָֽתָּה׃

4 O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.

4 אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י פַּ֭לְּטֵנִי מִיַּ֣ד רָשָׁ֑ע מִכַּ֖ף מְעַוֵּ֣ל וְחֹומֵץ¹׃

5 For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.

5 כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה תִקְוָתִ֑י אֲדֹנָ֥י יְ֝הוִ֗ה מִבְטַחִ֥י מִנְּעוּרָֽי׃

6 You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

6 עָלֶ֤יךָ׀ נִסְמַ֬כְתִּי מִבֶּ֗טֶן מִמְּעֵ֣י אִ֭מִּי אַתָּ֣ה גֹוזִ֑י בְּךָ֖ תְהִלָּתִ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

7 I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

7 כְּ֭מֹופֵת הָיִ֣יתִי לְרַבִּ֑ים וְ֝אַתָּ֗ה מַֽחֲסִי־עֹֽז׃

8 My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.

8 יִמָּ֣לֵא פִ֭י תְּהִלָּתֶ֑ךָ כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום תִּפְאַרְתֶּֽךָ׃

9 Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.

9 אַֽל־תַּ֭שְׁלִיכֵנִי לְעֵ֣ת זִקְנָ֑ה כִּכְלֹ֥ות כֹּ֝חִ֗י אַֽל־תַּעַזְבֵֽנִי׃

10 For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

10 כִּֽי־אָמְר֣וּ אֹויְבַ֣י לִ֑י וְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י נֹועֲצ֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

11 Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

11 לֵ֭אמֹר אֱלֹהִ֣ים עֲזָבֹ֑ו רִֽדְפ֥וּ וְ֝תִפְשׂ֗וּהוּ כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַצִּֽיל׃

12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.

12 אֱ֭לֹהִים אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חִישָׁה חֽוּשָׁה׃

13 Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

13 יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ יִכְלוּ֮ שֹׂטְנֵ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יַֽעֲט֣וּ חֶ֭רְפָּה וּכְלִמָּ֑ה מְ֝בַקְשֵׁ֗י רָעָתִֽי׃

14 But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.

14 וַ֭אֲנִי תָּמִ֣יד אֲיַחֵ֑ל וְ֝הֹוסַפְתִּ֗י עַל־כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

15 My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

15 פִּ֤י׀ יְסַפֵּ֬ר צִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ כָּל־הַיֹּ֥ום תְּשׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹ֖א יָדַ֣עְתִּי סְפֹרֹֽות׃

16 I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.

16 אָבֹ֗וא בִּ֭גְבֻרֹות אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה אַזְכִּ֖יר צִדְקָתְךָ֣ לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃

17 O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

17 אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים לִמַּדְתַּ֥נִי מִנְּעוּרָ֑י וְעַד־הֵ֝֗נָּה אַגִּ֥יד נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

18 Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

18 וְגַ֤ם עַד־זִקְנָ֨ה׀ וְשֵׂיבָה֮ אֱלֹהִ֪ים אַֽל־תַּעַ֫זְבֵ֥נִי עַד־אַגִּ֣יד זְרֹועֲךָ֣ לְדֹ֑ור לְכָל־יָ֝בֹ֗וא גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

19 Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

19 וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ אֱלֹהִ֗ים עַד־מָ֫רֹ֥ום אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֥יתָ גְדֹלֹ֑ות אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים מִ֣י כָמֹֽוךָ׃

20 You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

20 אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִרְאִיתַנוּ הִרְאִיתַ֨נִי׀ צָרֹ֥ות רַבֹּ֗ות וְרָ֫עֹ֥ות תָּשׁ֥וּב תְּחַיֵּינוּ תְּחַיֵּ֑ינִי וּֽמִתְּהֹמֹ֥ות הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ תָּשׁ֥וּב תַּעֲלֵֽנִי׃

21 You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

21 תֶּ֤רֶב׀ גְּֽדֻלָּתִ֗י וְתִסֹּ֥ב תְּֽנַחֲמֵֽנִי׃

22 I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

22 גַּם־אֲנִ֤י׀ אֹודְךָ֣ בִכְלִי־נֶבֶל֮ אֲמִתְּךָ֪ אֱלֹ֫הָ֥י אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה לְךָ֣ בְכִנֹּ֑ור קְ֝דֹ֗ושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

23 Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.

23 תְּרַנֵּ֣נָּ֣ה פָתַי כִּ֣י אֲזַמְּרָה־לָּ֑ךְ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּדִֽיתָ׃

24 My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.

24 גַּם־לְשֹׁונִ֗י כָּל־הַ֭יֹּום תֶּהְגֶּ֣ה צִדְקָתֶ֑ךָ כִּי־בֹ֥שׁוּ כִֽי־חָ֝פְר֗וּ מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י רָעָתִֽי׃
