A prayer by David. Lord, turn Your ear, answer me, for I am poor and needy.

שָׁמְרָה נַפְשִׁי כִּי־חָסִיד אָֽנִי הוֹשַׁע עַבְדְּךָ אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי הַבּוֹטֵֽחַ אֵלֶֽיךָ:

Bring joy to the soul of Your servant, for to You, my Lord, I lift my soul.

כִּי־אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי טוֹב וְסַלָּח וְרַב־חֶֽסֶד לְכָל־קֹרְאֶֽיךָ:

For You, my Lord, are good and forgiving, and exceedingly kind to all who call upon You.

הַאֲזִֽינָה יְיָ תְּפִלָּתִי וְהַקְשִֽׁיבָה בְּקוֹל תַּחֲנוּנוֹתָי:

Lord, hear my prayer and listen to the voice of my supplications.

בְּיוֹם צָרָתִי אֶקְרָאֶֽךָּ כִּי תַעֲנֵֽנִי:

On the day of my distress I call upon You, for You will answer me.

אֵין־כָּמֽוֹךָ בָאֱלֹהִים | אֲדֹנָי וְאֵין כְּמַעֲשֶֽׂיךָ:

There is none like You among the supernal beings, my Lord, and there are no deeds like Yours.

כָּל־גּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר עָשִֽׂיתָ יָבֽוֹאוּ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶֽיךָ אֲדֹנָי וִיכַבְּדוּ לִשְׁמֶֽךָ:

All the nations that You have made will come and bow down before You, my Lord, and give honor to Your Name.

כִּי־גָדוֹל אַתָּה וְעֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים לְבַדֶּֽךָ:

For You are great and perform wonders, You alone, O God.

הוֹרֵֽנִי יְיָ דַּרְכֶּֽךָ אֲהַלֵּךְ בַּאֲמִתֶּֽךָ יַחֵד לְבָבִי לְיִרְאָה שְׁמֶֽךָ:

Lord, teach me Your way that I may walk in Your truth; unify my heart to fear Your Name.

אוֹדְךָ אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהַי בְּכָל־לְבָבִי וַאֲכַבְּדָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם:

I will praise You, my Lord, my God, with all my heart, and give honor to Your Name forever.

כִּי־חַסְדְּךָ גָּדוֹל עָלָי וְהִצַּֽלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּיָּה:

For Your kindness to me has been great; You have saved my soul from the depth of sheol .

אֱלֹהִים זֵדִים קָֽמוּ־עָלַי וַעֲדַת עָרִיצִים בִּקְשׁוּ נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא שָׂמֽוּךָ לְנֶגְדָּם:

God, malicious men have risen against me; a band of ruthless men have sought my soul; they are not mindful of You.

וְאַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֵל־רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן אֶֽרֶךְ אַפַּֽיִם וְרַב־חֶֽסֶד וֶאֱמֶת:

But You, my Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth.

פְּנֵה אֵלַי וְחָנֵּֽנִי תְּנָה־עֻזְּךָ לְעַבְדֶּֽךָ וְהוֹשִֽׁיעָה לְבֶן־אֲמָתֶֽךָ:

Turn to me and be gracious to me; grant Your strength to Your servant, and deliver the son of Your maidservant.

Show me a sign of favor, that my foes may see and be shamed, because You, Lord, have given me aid and consoled me.

בֵּית יַעֲקֹב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאוֹר יְיָ:

House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

כִּי כָּל־הָעַמִּים יֵֽלְכוּ אִישׁ בְּשֵׁם אֱלֺֽהָיו, וַֽאֲנַֽחְנוּ נֵלֵךְ בְּשֵׁם־יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:

For all the nations walk each in the name of their god, but we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God forever and ever.

יְהִי יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ עִמָּֽנוּ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִם־אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ, אַל־יַֽעַזְבֵֽנוּ וְאַל־יִטְּשֵֽׁנוּ:

May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our fathers; may He not forsake us nor abandon us;

לְהַטּוֹת לְבָבֵֽנוּ אֵלָיו, לָלֶֽכֶת בְּכָל־דְּרָכָיו, וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו, וְחֻקָּיו, וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו, אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶת־אֲבֹתֵֽינוּ:

that He may turn our hearts to Him, to go in all His ways, and to observe His commandments, His statutes, and His Laws which He commanded our fathers.

וְיִהְיוּ דְבָרַי אֵֽלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הִתְחַנַּֽנְתִּי לִפְנֵי יְיָ, קְרֹבִים אֶל יְיָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ יוֹמָם וָלָֽיְלָה, לַעֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפַּט עַבְדּוֹ, וּמִשְׁפַּט עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל דְּבַר־יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ:

And may these words of mine, which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that He may provide the needs of His servant and the needs of His people Israel according to the requirements of each day;

לְמַֽעַן דַּֽעַת כָּל־עַמֵּי הָאָֽרֶץ, כִּי יְיָ הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים, אֵין עוֹד:

so that all the peoples of the earth shall know that the Lord is God, there is none else.

שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד לוּלֵי יְיָ שֶׁהָֽיָה לָֽנוּ יֹֽאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל:

A song of ascents by David. Were it not for the Lord who was with us—let Israel declare—

לוּלֵי יְיָ שֶׁהָֽיָה לָֽנוּ בְּקוּם עָלֵֽינוּ אָדָם:

were it not for the Lord who was with us when men rose up against us,

אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעֽוּנוּ בַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּֽנוּ:

then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning rage against us.

אֲזַי הַמַּֽיִם שְׁטָפֽוּנוּ נַֽחְלָה עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ:

Then the waters would have inundated us, the torrent would have swept over our soul;

אֲזַי עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ הַמַּֽיִם הַזֵּידוֹנִים:

then the raging waters would have surged over our soul.

בָּרוּךְ יְיָ שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָֽנוּ טֶֽרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶם:

Blessed is the Lord who did not permit us to be prey for their teeth.

נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁים הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר וַאֲנַֽחְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ:

Our soul is like a bird which has escaped from the fowler’s snare; the snare broke and we escaped.

עֶזְרֵֽנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְיָ עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַֽיִם וָאָֽרֶץ:

Our help is in the Name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

כִּי־הִנֵּה הַמְּלָכִים נוֹעֲדוּ, עָבְרוּ יַחְדָּו:

For behold, the kings assembled, they advanced in concert [to invade her].

הֵֽמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָֽהוּ, נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ:

They saw [the wonders of the Almighty] and were astounded; they were terrorstricken, they hastened to flee.

רְעָדָה אֲחָזָֽתַם שָׁם, חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵדָה:

Trembling seized them there, pangs as of a woman in the throes of labor;

בְּרֽוּחַ קָדִים, תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ:

כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַֽעְנוּ כֵּן רָאִֽינוּ בְּעִיר־יְיָ צְבָאוֹת, בְּעִיר אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ, אֱלֺהִים יְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ עַד־עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה:

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God; may God establish it for all eternity.

דִּמִּֽינוּ אֱלֺהִים חַסְדֶּֽךָ, בְּקֶֽרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ:

God, we have been hoping for Your kindness [to be revealed] within Your Sanctuary.

כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֺהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְךָ עַל־קַצְוֵי־אֶֽרֶץ, צֶֽדֶק מָלְאָה יְמִינֶֽךָ:

As Your Name, O God, [is great,] so is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness.

יִשְׂמַח הַר־צִיּוֹן תָּגֵֽלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה, לְמַֽעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ:

מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף, אֱלֺהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת־אֵל, בְּקֶֽרֶב אֱלֺהִים יִשְׁפֹּט:

A Psalm by Asaf. God stands in the council of judges; among the judges He renders judgment:

עַד־מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ־עָֽוֶל, וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ־סֶֽלָה:

How long will you judge wickedly, ever showing partiality toward the evildoers?

שִׁפְטוּ־דָל וְיָתוֹם, עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּֽיקוּ:

Render justice to the needy and the orphan; deal righteously with the poor and the destitute.

פַּלְּטוּ־דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן, מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּֽילוּ:

Rescue the needy and the pauper; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

לֺא יָדְעוּ וְלֺא יָבִֽינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ, יִמּֽוֹטוּ כָּל־מֽוֹסְדֵי אָֽרֶץ:

But they do not know, nor do they understand; they go about in darkness, [therefore] all the foundations of the earth tremble.

אֲנִי־אָמַֽרְתִּי אֱלֺהִים אַתֶּם, וּבְנֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּכֶם:

I said you are angels, supernal beings, all of you.

אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן, וּכְאַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּֽלוּ:

But you will die as mortals, you will fall like any prince.

קוּמָה אֱלֺהִים שָׁפְטָה הָאָרֶץ, כִּי־אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִם:

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for You possess all the nations.

Blow the shofar on the New Moon, on the designated day of our Holy Day;

כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא, מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֺהֵי יַעֲקֹב:

for it is a decree for Israel, a ruling of the God of Jacob.

עֵדוּת בִּיהוֹסֵף שָׂמוֹ בְּצֵאתוֹ עַל־אֶֽרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם, שְׂפַת לֺא־יָדַֽעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָע:

He ordained it as a precept for Joseph when he went forth over the land of Egypt; I heard a language which I did not know.

הֲסִירֽוֹתִי מִסֵּֽבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ, כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה:

I have taken his shoulder from the burden; his hands were removed from the caldron.

In distress you called and I delivered you; [you called] in secret, and I answered you with thunderous wonders; I tested you at the waters of Merivah, Selah.

Hear, My people, and I will admonish you; Israel, if you would only listen to Me!

לֺא־יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר, וְלֺא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָר:

You shall have no alien god within you, nor shall you bow down to a foreign deity.

אָנֹכִי יְיָ אֱלֺהֶֽיךָ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶֽרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם, הַרְחֶב־פִּֽיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ:

I am the Lord your God who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open wide your mouth, [state all your desires,] and I shall grant them.

וְלֺא־שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקוֹלִי, וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֺא־אָֽבָה לִי:

But My people did not heed My voice; Israel did not want [to listen to] Me.

וָאֲשַׁלְּחֵֽהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם, יֵלְכוּ בְּמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶם:

So I sent them away for the willfulness of their heart, for following their [evil] design.

If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would only walk in My ways,

כִּמְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶם אַכְנִֽיעַ, וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִי:

יְיָ מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ, לָבֵשׁ יְיָ, עֹז הִתְאַזָּר, אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּוֹט:

The Lord is King; He has garbed Himself with grandeur; the Lord has robed Himself, He has girded Himself with strength; He has also established the world firmly that it shall not falter.

נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז, מֵעוֹלָם אָֽתָּה:

Your throne stands firm from of old; You have existed forever.

נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת יְיָ, נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם, יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָם:

The rivers have raised, O Lord, the rivers have raised their voice; the rivers raise their raging waves.

מִקֹּלוֹת מַֽיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים, מִשְׁבְּרֵי־יָם, אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְיָ:

More than the sound of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, is the Lord mighty on high.

עֵדֹתֶֽיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד, לְבֵיתְךָ נָאֲוָה־קֹֽדֶשׁ, יְיָ, לְאֹֽרֶךְ יָמִים:

Your testimonies are most trustworthy; Your House will be resplendent in holiness, O Lord, forever.

הוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ וְקַבְּצֵֽנוּ וְהַצִּילֵֽנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהוֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶֽׁךָ, לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּֽחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ:

Deliver us, Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy Name and glory in Your praise.

בָּרוּךְ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וְאָמַר כָל־הָעָם אָמֵן הַלְלוּיָה. בָּרוּךְ יְיָ מִצִּיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְרוּשָׁלָֽיִם הַלְלוּיָהּ:

Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, to all eternity, and all the people said: Amen, praise the Lord. Blessed is the Lord from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem; praise the Lord.

בְּרוּךְ יְיָ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, עֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּוֹ:

Blessed is the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone performs wonders.

וּבָרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָם, וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אָמֵן וְאָמֵן:

Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.

לְדָוִד יְיָ אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי מִמִּי אִירָא, יְיָ מָעוֹז־חַיַּי מִמִּי אֶפְחָד:

By David. The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?

בִּקְרֹב עָלַי מְרֵעִים לֶאֱכֹל אֶת־בְּשָׂרִי צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי, הֵֽמָּה כָשְׁלוּ וְנָפָֽלוּ:

The Lord is the strength of my life—whom shall I dread?

אִם־תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי מַחֲנֶה לֺא־יִירָא לִבִּי, אִם־תָּקוּם עָלַי מִלְחָמָה, בְּזֹאת אֲנִי בוֹטֵֽחַ:

When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh, my oppressors and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

אַחַת שָׁאַֽלְתִּי מֵאֵת־יְיָ אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ, שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְיָ כָּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי, לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹֽעַם־יְיָ וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ:

If an army were to beleaguer me, my heart would not fear; if war were to arise against me, in this I trust.

כִּי יִצְפְּנֵֽנִי בְּסֻכֹּה בְּיוֹם רָעָה יַסְתִּרֵֽנִי בְּסֵֽתֶר אָהֳלוֹ, בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי:

One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I seek: that I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the pleasantness of the Lord and to visit in His Sanctuary.

וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹיְבַי סְבִיבוֹתָי, וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה, אָשִֽׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַייָ:

For He will hide me in His tabernacle on a day of adversity; He will conceal me in the hidden places of His tent; He will lift me upon a rock.

שְׁמַע־יְיָ קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא, וְחָנֵּֽנִי וַעֲנֵֽנִי:

And then my head will be raised above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of jubilation; I will sing and chant to the Lord.

לְךָ אָמַר לִבִּי, בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָי, אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ יְיָ אֲבַקֵּשׁ:

Lord, hear my voice as I call; be gracious to me and answer me.

אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶֽיךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי, אַל תַּט־בְּאַף עַבְדֶּֽךָ עֶזְרָתִי הָיִֽיתָ, אַל־תִּטְּשֵֽׁנִי וְאַל־תַּעַזְבֵֽנִי אֱלֺהֵי יִשְׁעִי:

In Your behalf my heart says, “Seek My countenance;” Your countenance, Lord, I seek.

כִּי־אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבֽוּנִי, וַייָ יַאַסְפֵֽנִי:

Do not conceal Your countenance from me, do not cast aside Your servant in wrath; You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, God of my deliverance.

הוֹרֵֽנִי יְיָ דַּרְכֶּֽךָ וּנְחֵֽנִי בְּאֹֽרַח מִישׁוֹר, לְמַֽעַן שׁוֹרְרָי:

Though my father and mother have forsaken me, the Lord has taken me in.

אַל־תִּתְּנֵֽנִי בְּנֶֽפֶשׁ צָרָי, כִּי קָֽמוּ־בִי עֵֽדֵי־שֶֽׁקֶר וִיפֵֽחַ חָמָס:

Lord, teach me Your way and lead me in the path of righteousness because of my watchful enemies.

לוּלֵא הֶאֱמַֽנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּטוּב־יְיָ בְּאֶֽרֶץ חַיִּים:

Do not give me over to the will of my oppressors, for there have risen against me false witnesses and they speak evil. [They would have crushed me] had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

קַוֵּה אֶל־יְיָ, חֲזַק וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ, וְקַוֵּה אֶל־יְיָ:

Hope in the Lord, be strong and let your heart be valiant, and hope in the Lord.
