1	לַֽמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּ֥לֶת הַ֜שַּׁ֗חַר מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד	La-me-nat-tsé-akh al ay-yé-let ha-sha-khaár miz-mór le-Da-víd.	To the Chief Musician. According to the Deer of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.
2	אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי	E-lí E-lí la-máh a-zav-tá-ni; ra-khók mi-shu-a-tí div-réi sh-a-ga-tí.	My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
3	אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא־דוּמִיָּה לִי	E-lo-h-ái ek-rá yo-mám ve-lo ta-a-néh; ve-láy-lah ve-lo du-mi-yáh lí.	O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.
4	וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל	Ve-at-táh ka-dósh yo-shév te-hi-lót Yis-ra-él.	Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
5	בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַתְּפַלְּטֵמוֹ	Be-kha ba-te-khú a-vo-té-nu; ba-te-khú va-te-fal-le-tém.	In You our fathers trusted; they trusted, and You delivered them.
6	אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא־בוֹשׁוּ	E-lé-kha za-a-kú ve-ni-m-lá-tu; be-kha va-te-khú ve-lo vo-shú.	To You they cried and were rescued; in You they trusted and were not put to shame.
7	וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא־אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם	Ve-a-nó-khi to-la-aát ve-lo ísh; kher-paát a-dám u-ve-zúi am.	But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people.
8	כָּל־רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ	Kál ro-a-í yil-a-gú-li; yaf-tí-ru ve-sa-fáh ya-ni-ú-u rósh.	All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads.
9	גֹּל אֶל־יְהוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ	Gól el Ado-nái ye-fal-le-té-hu; yatz-tzi-lé-hu ki kha-fétz bo.	He trusts in the LORD; let Him deliver him; let Him rescue him, for he delights in Him.
10	כִּי־אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל־שְׁדֵי אִמִּי	Ki at-táh go-khí mi-bé-ten; mav-ti-khí al she-déi im-mí.	Yet You are He who took me from the womb; You made me trust You at my mother’s breasts.
11	עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה	E-lé-kha ho-shlakh-tí me-ré-khem; mi-bé-ten im-mí E-lí at-táh.	On You was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
12	אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי־אֵין עוֹזֵר	Al tir-khaák mim-mé-ni ki tza-ráh ke-ro-váh; ki ein o-zér.	Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.
13	סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי	Sa-vé-vu-ni pa-rím ra-bím; ab-bí-rei Va-shán ki-t-te-rú-ni.	Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me.
14	פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג	Pa-tze-rú a-lái pi-hém; ar-yéh to-réf ve-sho-e’g.	They open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
15	כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי	Ka-ma-yím nish-pakh-tí; ve-hit-pa-re-dú kál atz-mo-t-ái; ha-yáh lib-bí ka-da-o-nág; na-mas-s be-tókh me-e-ái.	I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast.
16	יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר־מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי	Ya-vésh ka-khé-res ko-khí; u-le-sho-ní mu-dab-bák mal-ko-shí; ve-la-a-fár ma-vét tish-pe-té-ni.	My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; You lay me in the dust of death.
17	כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי	Ki se-va-vú-ni ke-la-vím; a-dat me-re-ím hik-kí-fu-ni; ka-a-rú ya-d-ái ve-rag-l-ái.	For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.
18	אֲסַפֵּר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִי	A-sap-pér kál atz-mo-t-ái; hé-mah ya-bí-tu yir-eú-ví.	I can count all my bones — they stare and gloat over me.
19	יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל	Ye-khal-le-kú ve-ga-d-ái la-hém; ve-al le-vu-shí ya-pí-lu go-rál.	They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.
20	וְאַתָּה יְהוָה אַל־תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה	Ve-at-táh Ado-nái al tir-khák; ay-ya-lo-tí le-ez-rá-ti khu-sháh.	But You, O the LORD, do not be far off! O You my help, come quickly to my aid!
21	הַצִּילָה מֵחֶרֶב נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד־כֶּלֶב יְחִידָתִי	Hatz-tzi-láh me-khé-rev naf-shí; mi-yad ké-lev ye-khi-da-tí.	Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog!
22	הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּי אַרְיֵה וּמִקַּרְנֵי רֵמִים עֲנִיתָנִי	Ho-shi-e-ní mi-pi ar-yéh; u-me-kar-néi re-e-mím a-ni-tá-ni.	Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!
23	אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ	A-sap-pe-ráh shim-kha le-e-khay; be-tókh ka-hál a-ha-le-le-kha.	I will tell of Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You.
24	יִרְאֵי יְהוָה הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל־זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כָּל־זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל	Yir-e-éi Ado-nái hal-le-lú-hu; kál ze-rá Ya-a-kóv kab-be-dú-hu; ve-gú-ru mim-mé-nu kál ze-rá Yis-ra-él.	You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify Him, and stand in awe of Him, all you offspring of Israel!
25	כִּי לֹא־בָזָה וְלֹא שִׁקַּץ עֱנוּת עָנִי וְלֹא־הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ וּבְשַׁוְּעוֹ אֵלָיו שָׁמֵעַ	Ki lo va-záh ve-lo shi-k-kátz a-nút a-ní; ve-lo his-tír pa-náv mim-mé-nu; u-ve-sha-v-e-ó e-láv sha-mé-a.	For He has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; He has not hidden His face from him but has heard, when he cried to Him.
26	מֵאִתְּךָ תְהִלָּתִי בְּקָהָל רָב נְדָרַי אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגֶד יְרֵאָיו	Me-it-te-kha te-hil-la-tí be-ka-hál rav; ne-da-r-ái a-shal-lém ne-géd ye-re-áv.	From You comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear Him.
27	יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ יְהַלְלוּ יְהוָה דֹּרְשָׁיו יְחִי לְבַבְכֶם לָעַד	Yo-khe-lú a-na-vím ve-yis-ba-ú; ye-hal-le-lú Ado-nái do-re-sháv; ye-khi yír le-va-va-khém la-aád.	The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live forever!
28	יִזְכְּרוּ וְיָשֻׁבוּ אֶל־יְהוָה כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶיךָ כָּל־מִשְׁפְּחוֹת גּוֹיִם	Yiz-ke-rú ve-ya-shú-vu el Ado-nái kál af-séi a-rétz; ve-yish-ta-kha-vú le-fa-ne-kha kál mish-pe-khót go-yím.	All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.
29	כִּי לַיהוָה הַמְּלוּכָה וּמֹשֵׁל בַּגּוֹיִם	Ki la-Ado-nái ha-me-lu-kháh; u-mo-shél ba-go-yím.	For kingship belongs to the LORD, and He rules over the nations.
30	אָכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ כָּל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶרֶץ לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ כָּל־יוֹרְדֵי עָפָר וְנַפְשׁוֹ לֹא חִיָּה	A-khe-lú va-yish-ta-kha-vú kál dish-ne-éi e-rétz; le-fa-náv yikh-re-ú kál yo-re-déi a-fár ve-naf-shó lo khiy-yáh.	All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before Him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.
31	זֶרַע יַעַבְדֶנּוּ יְסֻפַּר לַאדֹנָי לַדּוֹר	Ze-rá ya-av-de-n-nú; ye-su-p-pár la-do-nái la-dor.	Posterity shall serve Him; it shall be told of the LORD to the coming generation.
32	יָבֹאוּ וְיַגִּידוּ צִדְקָתוֹ לְעַם נוֹלָד כִּי עָשָׂה	Ya-vó-u ve-ya-gí-du tzid-ka-tó; le-am ni-lad ki a-sáh.	They shall come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn, that He has done it.
