1For the music director; according to the tune of "Lilies;" by David. Deliver me, O God, for the water has reached my neck. 1לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ עַֽל־ שׁוֹשַׁנִּ֬ים לְדָוִֽד׃ הוֹשִׁיעֵ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֤י בָ֖אוּ מַ֣יִם עַד־ נָֽפֶשׁ׃
2I sink into the deep mire where there is no solid ground; I am in deep water, and the current overpowers me. 2טָבַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵ֣ן מְ֭צוּלָה וְאֵ֣ין מָעֳמָ֑ד בָּ֥אתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־ מַ֝֗יִם וְשִׁבֹּ֥לֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִי׃
3I am exhausted from shouting for help; my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God. 3יָגַ֣עְתִּי בְקָרְאִי֮ נִחַ֪ר גְּר֫וֹנִ֥י כָּל֥וּ עֵינַ֑י מְ֝יַחֵ֗ל לֵאלֹהָֽי׃
4Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head. Those who want to destroy me, my enemies for no reason, outnumber me. They make me repay what I did not steal! 4רַבּ֤וּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲר֣וֹת רֹאשִׁי֮ שֹׂנְאַ֪י חִ֫נָּ֥ם עָצְמ֣וּ מַ֭צְמִיתַי אֹיְבַ֣י שֶׁ֑קֶר אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־ גָ֝זַ֗לְתִּי אָ֣ז אָשִֽׁיב׃
5O God, you are aware of my foolish sins; my guilt is not hidden from you. 5אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּ֑י וְ֝אַשְׁמוֹתַ֗י מִמְּךָ֥ לֹא־ נִכְחָֽדוּ׃
6Let none who rely on you be disgraced because of me, O sovereign LORD and king! Let none who seek you be ashamed because of me, O God of Israel! 6אַל־ יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ בִ֨י ׀ קֹוֶיךָ֮ אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִ֗ה צְבָ֫א֥וֹת אַל־ יִכָּ֣לְמוּ בִ֣י מְבַקְשֶׁ֑יךָ אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
7For I suffer humiliation for your sake and am thoroughly disgraced. 7כִּֽי־ עָ֭לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֣אתִי חֶרְפָּ֑ה כִּסְּתָ֖ה כְלִמָּ֣ה פָנָֽי׃
8My own brothers treat me like a stranger; they act as if I were a foreigner. 8מ֭וּזָר הָיִ֣יתִי לְאֶחָ֑י וְ֝נָכְרִ֗י לִבְנֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃
9Certainly zeal for your house consumes me; I endure the insults of those who insult you. 9כִּֽי־ קִנְאַ֣ת בֵּיתְךָ֣ אֲכָלָ֑תְנִי וְחֶרְפּ֥וֹת ח֝וֹרְפֶ֗יךָ נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃
10I weep and refrain from eating food, which causes others to insult me. 10וָאֶבְכֶּ֣ה בַצּ֣וֹם נַפְשִׁ֑י וַתְּהִ֖י לַחֲרָפ֣וֹת לִֽי׃
11I wear sackcloth and they ridicule me. 11וָאֶתְּנָ֣ה לְבוּשִׁ֣י שָׂ֑ק וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמָשָֽׁל׃
12Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me; drunkards mock me in their songs. 12יָשִׂ֣יחוּ בִ֭י יֹ֣שְׁבֵי שָׁ֑עַר וּ֝נְגִינ֗וֹת שׁוֹתֵ֥י שֵׁכָֽר׃
13O LORD, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me! O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance! 13וַאֲנִ֤י תְפִלָּתִֽי־ לְךָ֨ ׀ יְהוָ֡ה עֵ֤ת רָצ֗וֹן אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּרָב־ חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בֶּאֱמֶ֥ת יִשְׁעֶֽךָ׃
14Rescue me from the mud! Don't let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water! 14הַצִּילֵ֣נִי מִ֭טִּיט וְאַל־ אֶטְבָּ֑עָה אִנָּצְלָ֥ה מִ֝שֹּֽׂנְאַ֗י וּמִמַּֽעֲמַקֵּי־ מָֽיִם׃
15Don't let the current overpower me! Don't let the deep swallow me up! Don't let the pit devour me! 15אַל־ תִּשְׁטְפֵ֤נִי ׀ שִׁבֹּ֣לֶת מַ֭יִם וְאַל־ תִּבְלָעֵ֣נִי מְצוּלָ֑ה וְאַל־ תֶּאְטַר־ עָלַ֖י בְּאֵ֣ר פִּֽיהָ׃
16Answer me, O LORD, for your loyal love is good! Because of your great compassion, turn toward me! 16עֲנֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה כִּי־ ט֣וֹב חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ כְּרֹ֥ב רַ֝חֲמֶ֗יךָ פְּנֵ֣ה אֵלָֽי׃
17Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away! 17וְאַל־ תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּ֭נֶיךָ מֵֽעַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־ צַר־ לִ֝֗י מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃
18Come near me and redeem me! Because of my enemies, rescue me! 18קָרְבָ֣ה אֶל־ נַפְשִׁ֣י גְאָלָ֑הּ לְמַ֖עַן אֹיְבַ֣י פְּדֵֽנִי׃
19You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced; you can see all my enemies. 19אַתָּ֤ה יָדַ֗עְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִ֣י וּ֭בָשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִ֑י נֶ֝גְדְּךָ֗ כָּל־ צוֹרְרָֽי׃
20Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none. 20חֶרְפָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׁבְרָ֥ה לִבִּ֗י וָֽאָ֫נ֥וּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּ֣ה לָנ֣וּד וָאַ֑יִן וְ֝לַמְנַחֲמִ֗ים וְלֹ֣א מָצָֽאתִי׃
21They put bitter poison into my food, and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink. 21וַיִּתְּנ֣וּ בְּבָרוּתִ֣י רֹ֑אשׁ וְ֝לִצְמָאִ֗י יַשְׁק֥וּנִי חֹֽמֶץ׃
22May their dining table become a trap before them! May it be a snare for that group of friends! 22יְהִֽי־ שֻׁלְחָנָ֣ם לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם לְפָ֑ח וְלִשְׁלוֹמִ֥ים לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃
23May their eyes be blinded! Make them shake violently! 23תֶּחְשַׁ֣כְנָה עֵ֭ינֵיהֶם מֵרְא֑וֹת וּ֝מָתְנֵ֗יהֶם תָּמִ֥יד הַמְעַֽד׃
24Pour out your judgment on them! May your raging anger overtake them! 24שְׁפָךְ־ עֲלֵיהֶ֥ם זַעְמֶ֑ךָ וַחֲר֥וֹן אַ֝פְּךָ֗ יַשִּׂיגֵֽם׃
25May their camp become desolate, their tents uninhabited! 25תְּהִי־ טִֽירָתָ֥ם נְשַׁמָּ֑ה בְּ֝אָהֳלֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־ יְהִ֥י יֹשֵֽׁב׃
26For they harass the one whom you discipline; they spread the news about the suffering of those whom you punish. 26כִּֽי־ אַתָּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־ הִכִּ֣יתָ רָדָ֑פוּ וְאֶל־ מַכְא֖וֹב חֲלָלֶ֣יךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃
27Hold them accountable for all their sins! Do not vindicate them! 27תְּֽנָה־ עָ֭וֺן עַל־ עֲוֺנָ֑ם וְאַל־ יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃
28May their names be deleted from the scroll of the living! Do not let their names be listed with the godly! 28יִ֭מָּחֽוּ מִסֵּ֣פֶר חַיִּ֑ים וְעִ֥ם צַ֝דִּיקִ֗ים אַל־ יִכָּתֵֽבוּ׃
29I am oppressed and suffering! O God, deliver and protect me! 29וַ֭אֲנִי עָנִ֣י וְכוֹאֵ֑ב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ֖ אֱלֹהִ֣ים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃
30I will sing praises to God's name! I will magnify him as I give him thanks! 30אֲהַֽלְלָ֣ה שֵׁם־ אֱלֹהִ֣ים בְּשִׁ֑יר וַאֲגַדְּלֶ֥נּוּ בְתוֹדָֽה׃
31That will please the LORD more than an ox or a bull with horns and hooves. 31וְתִיטַ֣ב לַֽ֭יהוָה מִשּׁ֥וֹר פָּ֗ר מַקְרִ֥ן מַפְרִֽיס׃
32The oppressed look on--let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged! 32רָא֣וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים יִשְׂמָ֑חוּ דֹּרְשֵׁ֥י אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים וִיחִ֥י לְבַבְכֶֽם׃
33For the LORD listens to the needy; he does not despise his captive people. 33כִּֽי־ שֹׁמֵ֣עַ אֶל־ אֶבְיוֹנִ֣ים יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶת־ אֲ֝סִירָ֗יו לֹ֣א בָזָֽה׃
34Let the heavens and the earth praise him, along with the seas and everything that swims in them! 34יְֽ֭הַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַ֣יִם וָאָ֑רֶץ יַ֝מִּ֗ים וְֽכָל־ רֹמֵ֥שׂ בָּֽם׃
35For God will deliver Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, and his people will again live in them and possess Zion. 35כִּ֤י אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ י֘וֹשִׁ֤יעַ צִיּ֗וֹן וְ֭יִבְנֶה עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֑ה וְיָ֥שְׁבוּ שָׁ֝֗ם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃
36The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who are loyal to him will live in it. 36וְזֶ֣רַע עֲ֭בָדָיו יִנְחָל֑וּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁ֝מ֗וֹ יִשְׁכְּנוּ־ בָֽהּ׃
