1For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love you, LORD, my strength.1לַמְנַצֵּ֤חַ ׀ לְעֶ֥בֶד יְהוָ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁ֤ר דִּבֶּ֨ר ׀ לַיהוָ֗ה אֶת־ דִּ֭בְרֵי הַשִּׁירָ֣ה הַזֹּ֑את בְּי֤וֹם הִֽצִּיל־ יְהוָ֘ה אוֹת֥וֹ מִכַּ֥ף כָּל־ אֹ֝יְבָ֗יו וּמִיַּ֥ד שָׁאֽוּל׃ וַיֹּאמַ֡ר אֶרְחָמְךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה חִזְקִֽי׃
2The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.2יְהוָ֤ה ׀ סַֽלְעִ֥י וּמְצוּדָתִ֗י וּמְפַ֫לְטִ֥י אֵלִ֣י צ֭וּרִי אֶֽחֱסֶה־ בּ֑וֹ מָֽגִנִּ֥י וְקֶֽרֶן־ יִ֝שְׁעִ֗י מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃
3I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.3מְ֭הֻלָּל אֶקְרָ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וּמִן־ אֹ֝יְבַ֗י אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃
4The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.4אֲפָפ֥וּנִי חֶבְלֵי־ מָ֑וֶת וְֽנַחֲלֵ֖י בְלִיַּ֣עַל יְבַֽעֲתֽוּנִי׃
5The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.5חֶבְלֵ֣י שְׁא֣וֹל סְבָב֑וּנִי קִ֝דְּמ֗וּנִי מ֣וֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃
6In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.6בַּצַּר־ לִ֤י ׀ אֶֽקְרָ֣א יְהוָה֮ וְאֶל־ אֱלֹהַ֪י אֲשַׁ֫וֵּ֥עַ יִשְׁמַ֣ע מֵהֵיכָל֣וֹ קוֹלִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֤יו ׀ תָּב֬וֹא בְאָזְנָֽיו׃
7The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.7וַתִּגְעַ֬שׁ וַתִּרְעַ֨שׁ ׀ הָאָ֗רֶץ וּמוֹסְדֵ֣י הָרִ֣ים יִרְגָּ֑זוּ וַ֝יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ כִּי־ חָ֥רָה לֽוֹ׃
8Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.8עָ֘לָ֤ה עָשָׁ֨ן ׀ בְּאַפּ֗וֹ וְאֵשׁ־ מִפִּ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל גֶּ֝חָלִ֗ים בָּעֲר֥וּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
9He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.9וַיֵּ֣ט שָׁ֭מַיִם וַיֵּרַ֑ד וַ֝עֲרָפֶ֗ל תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽיו׃
10He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.10וַיִּרְכַּ֣ב עַל־ כְּ֭רוּב וַיָּעֹ֑ף וַ֝יֵּ֗דֶא עַל־ כַּנְפֵי־ רֽוּחַ׃
11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him-- the dark rain clouds of the sky.11יָ֤שֶׁת חֹ֨שֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְר֗וֹ סְבִֽיבוֹתָ֥יו סֻכָּת֑וֹ חֶשְׁכַת־ מַ֝֗יִם עָבֵ֥י שְׁחָקִֽים׃
12Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.12מִנֹּ֗גַהּ נֶ֫גְדּ֥וֹ עָבָ֥יו עָבְר֑וּ בָּ֝רָ֗ד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־ אֵֽשׁ׃
13The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.13וַיַּרְעֵ֬ם בַּשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה וְ֭עֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּ֣ן קֹל֑וֹ בָּ֝רָ֗ד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־ אֵֽשׁ׃
14He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.14וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח חִ֭צָּיו וַיְפִיצֵ֑ם וּבְרָקִ֥ים רָ֝ב וַיְהֻמֵּֽם׃
15The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.15וַיֵּ֤רָא֨וּ ׀ אֲפִ֥יקֵי מַ֗יִם וַֽיִּגָּלוּ֮ מוֹסְד֪וֹת תֵּ֫בֵ֥ל מִגַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝נִּשְׁמַ֗ת ר֣וּחַ אַפֶּֽךָ׃
16He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.16יִשְׁלַ֣ח מִ֭מָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵ֑נִי יַֽ֝מְשֵׁ֗נִי מִמַּ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃
17He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.17יַצִּילֵ֗נִי מֵאֹיְבִ֥י עָ֑ז וּ֝מִשֹּׂנְאַ֗י כִּֽי־ אָמְצ֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
18They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.18יְקַדְּמ֥וּנִי בְיוֹם־ אֵידִ֑י וַֽיְהִי־ יְהוָ֖ה לְמִשְׁעָ֣ן לִֽי׃
19He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.19וַיּוֹצִיאֵ֥נִי לַמֶּרְחָ֑ב יְ֝חַלְּצֵ֗נִי כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בִּֽי׃
20The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.20יִגְמְלֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה כְּצִדְקִ֑י כְּבֹ֥ר יָ֝דַ֗י יָשִׁ֥יב לִֽי׃
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God.21כִּֽי־ שָׁ֭מַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־ רָ֝שַׁ֗עְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃
22All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.22כִּ֣י כָל־ מִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו לְנֶגְדִּ֑י וְ֝חֻקֹּתָ֗יו לֹא־ אָסִ֥יר מֶֽנִּי׃
23I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.23וָאֱהִ֣י תָמִ֣ים עִמּ֑וֹ וָ֝אֶשְׁתַּמֵּ֗ר מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃
24The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.24וַיָּֽשֶׁב־ יְהוָ֣ה לִ֣י כְצִדְקִ֑י כְּבֹ֥ר יָ֝דַ֗י לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃
25To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,25עִם־ חָסִ֥יד תִּתְחַסָּ֑ד עִם־ גְּבַ֥ר תָּ֝מִ֗ים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃
26to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.26עִם־ נָבָ֥ר תִּתְבָּרָ֑ר וְעִם־ עִ֝קֵּ֗שׁ תִּתְפַּתָּֽל׃
27You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.27כִּֽי־ אַ֭תָּה עַם־ עָנִ֣י תוֹשִׁ֑יעַ וְעֵינַ֖יִם רָמ֣וֹת תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃
28You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.28כִּֽי־ אַ֭תָּה תָּאִ֣יר נֵרִ֑י יְהוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י יַגִּ֥יהַּ חָשְׁכִּֽי׃
29With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.29כִּֽי־ בְ֭ךָ אָרֻ֣ץ גְּד֑וּד וּ֝בֵֽאלֹהַ֗י אֲדַלֶּג־ שֽׁוּר׃
30As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.30הָאֵל֮ תָּמִ֪ים דַּ֫רְכּ֥וֹ אִמְרַֽת־ יְהוָ֥ה צְרוּפָ֑ה מָגֵ֥ן ה֝֗וּא לְכֹ֤ל ׀ הַחֹסִ֬ים בּֽוֹ׃
31For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?31כִּ֤י מִ֣י אֱ֭לוֹהַּ מִבַּלְעֲדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וּמִ֥י צ֝֗וּר זוּלָתִ֥י אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
32It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.32הָ֭אֵל הַמְאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חָ֑יִל וַיִּתֵּ֖ן תָּמִ֣ים דַּרְכִּֽי׃
33He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.33מְשַׁוֶּ֣ה רַ֭גְלַי כָּאַיָּל֑וֹת וְעַ֥ל בָּ֝מֹתַ֗י יַעֲמִידֵֽנִי׃
34He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.34מְלַמֵּ֣ד יָ֭דַי לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וְֽנִחֲתָ֥ה קֶֽשֶׁת־ נְ֝חוּשָׁ֗ה זְרוֹעֹתָֽי׃
35You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.35וַתִּתֶּן־ לִי֮ מָגֵ֪ן יִ֫שְׁעֶ֥ךָ וִֽימִינְךָ֥ תִסְעָדֵ֑נִי וְֽעַנְוַתְךָ֥ תַרְבֵּֽנִי׃
36You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.36תַּרְחִ֣יב צַעֲדִ֣י תַחְתָּ֑י וְלֹ֥א מָ֝עֲד֗וּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃
37I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.37אֶרְדּ֣וֹף א֭וֹיְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵ֑ם וְלֹֽא־ אָ֝שׁוּב‪‬ עַד־ כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃
38I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.38אֶ֭מְחָצֵם וְלֹא־ יֻ֣כְלוּ ק֑וּם יִ֝פְּל֗וּ תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽי׃
39You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.39וַתְּאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חַ֭יִל לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה תַּכְרִ֖יעַ קָמַ֣י תַּחְתָּֽי׃
40You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.40וְֽאֹיְבַ֗י נָתַ֣תָּה לִּ֣י עֹ֑רֶף וּ֝מְשַׂנְאַ֗י אַצְמִיתֵֽם׃
41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them-- to the LORD, but he did not answer.41יְשַׁוְּע֥וּ וְאֵין־ מוֹשִׁ֑יעַ עַל־ יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְלֹ֣א עָנָֽם׃
42I beat them as fine as windblown dust; I trampled them like mud in the streets.42וְֽאֶשְׁחָקֵ֗ם כְּעָפָ֥ר עַל־ פְּנֵי־ ר֑וּחַ כְּטִ֖יט חוּצ֣וֹת אֲרִיקֵֽם׃
43You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,43תְּפַלְּטֵנִי֮ מֵרִ֪יבֵ֫י עָ֥ם תְּ֭שִׂימֵנִי לְרֹ֣אשׁ גּוֹיִ֑ם עַ֖ם לֹא־ יָדַ֣עְתִּי יַֽעַבְדֽוּנִי׃
44foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.44לְשֵׁ֣מַֽע אֹ֭זֶן יִשָּׁ֣מְעוּ לִ֑י בְּנֵֽי־ נֵ֝כָ֗ר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־ לִֽי׃
45They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.45בְּנֵי־ נֵכָ֥ר יִבֹּ֑לוּ וְ֝יַחְרְג֗וּ מִֽמִּסְגְּרֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
46The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior!46חַי־ יְ֭הוָה וּבָר֣וּךְ צוּרִ֑י וְ֝יָר֗וּם אֱלוֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃
47He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,47הָאֵ֗ל הַנּוֹתֵ֣ן נְקָמ֣וֹת לִ֑י וַיַּדְבֵּ֖ר עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽי׃
48who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.48מְפַלְּטִ֗י מֵאֹ֫יְבָ֥י אַ֣ף מִן־ קָ֭מַי תְּרוֹמְמֵ֑נִי מֵאִ֥ישׁ חָ֝מָ֗ס תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃
49Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.49עַל־ כֵּ֤ן ׀ אוֹדְךָ֖ בַגּוֹיִ֥ם ׀ יְהוָ֑ה וּלְשִׁמְךָ֥ אֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃
50He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.50[מגדל] (מַגְדִּיל֮) יְשׁוּע֪וֹת מַ֫לְכּ֥וֹ וְעֹ֤שֶׂה חֶ֨סֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיח֗וֹ לְדָוִ֥ד וּלְזַרְע֗וֹ עַד־ עוֹלָֽם׃
