1 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My voice `is' to God, and I cry, my voice `is' to God, And He hath given ear unto me.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל־ יְדִיתוּן יְדוּת֗וּן לְאָסָ֥ף מִזְמֹֽור׃

2 In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath refused to be comforted.

2 קֹולִ֣י אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶצְעָ֑קָה קֹולִ֥י אֶל־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וְהַאֲזִ֥ין אֵלָֽי׃

3 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is my spirit. Selah.

3 בְּיֹ֥ום צָרָתִי֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י דָּ֫רָ֥שְׁתִּי יָדִ֤י׀ לַ֣יְלָה נִ֭גְּרָה וְלֹ֣א תָפ֑וּג מֵאֲנָ֖ה הִנָּחֵ֣ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

4 Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.

4 אֶזְכְּרָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים וְאֶֽהֱמָיָ֑ה אָשִׂ֓יחָה׀ וְתִתְעַטֵּ֖ף רוּחִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

5 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.

5 אָ֭חַזְתָּ שְׁמֻרֹ֣ות עֵינָ֑י נִ֝פְעַ֗מְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אֲדַבֵּֽר׃

6 I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:

6 חִשַּׁ֣בְתִּי יָמִ֣ים מִקֶּ֑דֶם נֹ֗ות עֹולָמִֽים׃

7 To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be pleased no more?

7 אֶֽזְכְּרָ֥ה נְגִינָתִ֗י בַּ֫לָּ֥יְלָה עִם־לְבָבִ֥י אָשִׂ֑יחָה וַיְחַפֵּ֥שׂ רוּחִֽי׃

8 Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all generations?

8 הַֽ֭לְעֹולָמִים יִזְנַ֥ח׀ אֲדֹנָ֑י וְלֹֽא־יֹסִ֖יף לִרְצֹ֣ות עֹֽוד׃

9 Hath God forgotten `His' favours? Hath He shut up in anger His mercies? Selah.

9 הֶאָפֵ֣ס לָנֶ֣צַח חַסְדֹּ֑ו גָּ֥מַר אֹ֝֗מֶר לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃

10 And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

10 הֲשָׁכַ֣ח חַנֹּ֣ות אֵ֑ל אִם־קָפַ֥ץ בְּ֝אַ֗ף רַחֲמָ֥יו סֶֽלָה׃

11 I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy wonders,

11 וָ֭אֹמַר חַלֹּ֣ותִי הִ֑יא נֹ֗ות יְמִ֣ין עֶלְיֹֽון׃

12 And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk concerning Thy doings.

12 אַזְכִּיר אֶזְכֹּ֥ור מַֽעַלְלֵי־יָ֑הּ כִּֽי־אֶזְכְּרָ֖ה מִקֶּ֣דֶם פִּלְאֶֽךָ׃

13 O God, in holiness `is' Thy way, Who `is' a great god like God?

13 וְהָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ וּֽבַעֲלִ֖ילֹותֶ֣יךָ אָשִֽׂיחָה׃

14 Thou `art' the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known among the peoples Thy strength,

14 אֱ֭לֹהִים בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ דַּרְכֶּ֑ךָ מִי־אֵ֥ל גָּ֝דֹ֗ול כֵּֽאלֹהִֽים׃

15 Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

15 אַתָּ֣ה הָ֭אֵל עֹ֣שֵׂה פֶ֑לֶא הֹודַ֖עְתָּ בָעַמִּ֣ים עֻזֶּֽךָ׃

16 The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.

16 גָּאַ֣לְתָּ בִּזְרֹ֣ועַ עַמֶּ֑ךָ בְּנֵי־יַעֲקֹ֖ב וְיֹוסֵ֣ף סֶֽלָה׃

17 Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down.

17 רָ֘א֤וּךָ מַּ֨יִם׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים רָא֣וּךָ מַּ֣יִם יָחִ֑ילוּ אַ֝֗ף יִרְגְּז֥וּ תְהֹמֹֽות׃

18 The voice of Thy thunder `is' in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it shaketh.

18 זֹ֤רְמוּ מַ֨יִם׀ עָבֹ֗ות קֹ֖ול נָתְנ֣וּ שְׁחָקִ֑ים אַף־חֲ֝צָצֶ֗יךָ יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ׃

19 In the sea `is' Thy way, And Thy paths `are' in many waters, And Thy tracks have not been known.

19 קֹ֤ול רַעַמְךָ֨³׀ בַּגַּלְגַּ֗ל הֵאִ֣ירוּ בְרָקִ֣ים תֵּבֵ֑ל רָגְזָ֖ה וַתִּרְעַ֣שׁ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

20 Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!

20 בַּיָּ֤ם דַּרְכֶּ֗ךָ וּשְׁבִילֶיךָ וּֽ֭שְׁבִֽילְךָ בְּמַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וְ֝עִקְּבֹותֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א נֹדָֽעוּ׃
