| 1 | לַֽמְנַצֵּ֬חַ לְעֶֽבֶד־יְהֹוָ֬ה לְדָוִֽד: | La-me-nat-tsé-akh le-e-véd Ado-nái le-Da-víd. | To the Chief Musician. Of the servant of the LORD, of David. |
| 2 | נְאֻם־פֶּשַׁע לָרָשָׁע בְּקֶרֶב לִבִּי אֵין־פַּחַד אֱלֹהִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו | Ne-um pe-shá‘ la-ra-shá; be-ké-rev lib-bí; ein pa-khad E-lo-hím le-né-ged e-náv. | Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. |
| 3 | כִּי־הֶחֱלִיק אֵלָיו בְּעֵינָיו לִמְצֹא עֲוֺנוֹ לִשְׂנֹא | Ki he-kh-lík e-láv be-e-náv; lim-tzo a-vo-nó le-son-eó. | For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. |
| 4 | דִּבְרֵי־פִיו אָוֶן וּמִרְמָה חָדַל לְהַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵיטִיב | Div-réi pi-v a-vén u-mir-máh; kha-dál le-has-kíl le-he-tív. | The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. |
| 5 | אָוֶן יַחְשֹׁב עַל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ יִתְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּרֶךְ לֹא־טוֹב רָע לֹא יִמְאָס | A-vén ya-kha-shóv al mish-ka-vó; yi-tz-záv al dé-rekh lo tóv; rá‘ lo yim-aás. | He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil. |
| 6 | יְהוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמוּנָתְךָ עַד־שְׁחָקִים | Ado-nái ba-sha-má-yim khas-de-kha; e-mu-na-te-kha ad she-kha-kím. | Your steadfast love, O the LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. |
| 7 | צִדְקָתְךָ כְּהַרְרֵי־אֵל מִשְׁפָּטֶךָ תְּהוֹם רַבָּה אָדָם־וּבְהֵמָה תוֹשִׁיעַ יְהוָה | Tzid-ka-te-kha ke-har-réi E-l; mish-pa-te-kha te-hom ra-b-báh; a-dám u-ve-hemáh to-shi-a‘ Ado-nái. | Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast You save, O the LORD. |
| 8 | מַה־יָּקָר חַסְדְּךָ אֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי אָדָם בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ יֶחֱסָיוּן | Mah ya-kár khas-de-kha E-lo-hím; u-ve-néi a-dám be-tzel ke-na-fe-kha ye-khe-sá-yun. | How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. |
| 9 | יִרְוְיֻן מִדֶּשֶׁן בֵּיתֶךָ וְנַחַל עֲדָנֶיךָ תַשְׁקֵם | Yir-ve-yún mi-dé-shen béi-te-kha; ve-na-khal a-da-ne-kha tash-ke-m. | They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your delights. |
| 10 | כִּי־עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה־אוֹר | Ki im-me-kha me-kór kha-y-yím; be-or-kha nir-e-éh or. | For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. |
| 11 | מְשֹׁךְ חַסְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶיךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב | Me-shókh khas-de-kha le-yo-de-á-kha; ve-tzid-ka-te-kha le-yish-réi lév. | Oh, continue Your steadfast love to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright of heart! |
| 12 | אַל־תְּבוֹאֵנִי רֶגֶל גַּאֲוָה וְיַד־רְשָׁעִים אַל־תְּנִדֵנִי | Al te-vo-e-ní ré-gel ga-aváh; ve-yad re-sha-ím al te-ni-de-ní. | Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. |
| 13 | שָׁם נָפְלוּ פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּחוּ וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ קוּם | Shám na-fe-lú po-a-léi a-vén; du-khahú ve-lo ya-khe-lú kúm. | There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise. |
