1 Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, For I am poor and needy.

1 תְּפִלָּ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד הַטֵּֽה־יְהוָ֣ה אָזְנְךָ֣ עֲנֵ֑נִי כִּֽי־עָנִ֖י וְאֶבְיֹ֣ון אָֽנִי׃

2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.

2 שָֽׁמְרָ֣ה נַפְשִׁי֮ כִּֽי־חָסִ֪יד אָ֥נִי הֹושַׁ֣ע עַ֭בְדְּךָ אַתָּ֣ה אֱלֹהַ֑י הַבֹּוטֵ֥חַ אֵלֶֽיךָ׃

3 Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long.

3 חָנֵּ֥נִי אֲדֹנָ֑י כִּ֥י אֵלֶ֥יךָ אֶ֝קְרָ֗א כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

4 מֵּחַ נֶ֣פֶשׁ עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י אֵלֶ֥יךָ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י נַפְשִׁ֥י אֶשָּֽׂא׃

5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

5 כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי טֹ֣וב וְסַלָּ֑ח וְרַב־חֶ֝֗סֶד לְכָל־קֹרְאֶֽיךָ׃

6 Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.

6 הַאֲזִ֣ינָה יְ֭הוָה תְּפִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝הַקְשִׁ֗יבָה בְּקֹ֣ול תַּחֲנוּנֹותָֽי׃

7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, For you will answer me.

7 בְּיֹ֣ום צָ֭רָתִ֥י אֶקְרָאֶ֗ךָּ כִּ֣י תַעֲנֵֽנִי׃

8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.

8 אֵין־כָּמֹ֖וךָ בָאֱלֹהִ֥ים׀ אֲדֹנָ֗י וְאֵ֣ין כְּֽמַעֲשֶֽׂיךָ׃

9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.

9 כָּל־גֹּויִ֤ם׀ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֗יתָ יָבֹ֤ואוּ׀ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לְפָנֶ֣יךָ אֲדֹנָ֑י וִֽיכַבְּד֣וּ לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃

10 For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.

10 כִּֽי־גָדֹ֣ול אַ֭תָּה וְעֹשֵׂ֣ה נִפְלָאֹ֑ות אַתָּ֖ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃

11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

11 הֹ֘ורֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה׀ דַּרְכֶּ֗ךָ אֲהַלֵּ֥ךְ בַּאֲמִתֶּ֑ךָ יַחֵ֥ד לְ֝בָבִ֗י לְיִרְאָ֥ה שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore.

12 אֹודְךָ֤׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּכָל־לְבָבִ֑י וַאֲכַבְּדָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְעֹולָֽם׃

13 For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

13 כִּֽי־חַ֭סְדְּךָ גָּדֹ֣ול עָלָ֑י וְהִצַּ֥לְתָּ נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י מִשְּׁאֹ֥ול תַּחְתִּיָּֽה׃

14 God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, And they don't hold regard for you before them.

14 אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ זֵ֘דִ֤ים קָֽמוּ־עָלַ֗י וַעֲדַ֣ת עָ֭רִיצִים בִּקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלֹ֖א שָׂמ֣וּךָ לְנֶגְדָּֽם׃

15 But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, Slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

15 וְאַתָּ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי אֵל־רַח֣וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן אֶ֥רֶךְ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם וְרַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת׃

16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid.

16 פְּנֵ֥ה אֵלַ֗י וְחָ֫נֵּ֥נִי תְּנָֽה־עֻזְּךָ֥ לְעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝הֹושִׁ֗יעָה לְבֶן־אֲמָתֶֽךָ׃

17 Show me a sign of your goodness, That those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, Because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.

17 עֲשֵֽׂה־עִמִּ֥י אֹ֗ות לְטֹ֫ובָ֥ה וְיִרְא֣וּ שֹׂנְאַ֣י וְיֵבֹ֑שׁוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה עֲזַרְתַּ֥נִי וְנִחַמְתָּֽנִי׃
