1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

1 בְּךָֽ־יְהוָ֥ה חָסִ֑יתִי אַל־אֵבֹ֥ושָׁה לְעֹולָֽם׃

2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

2 בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֗ תַּצִּילֵ֥נִי וּֽתְפַלְּטֵ֑נִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥י אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ וְהֹושִׁיעֵֽנִי׃

3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, For you are my rock and my fortress.

3 הֱיֵ֤ה לִ֨י׀ לְצ֥וּר מָעֹ֡ון לָבֹ֗וא תָּמִ֗יד צִוִּ֥יתָ לְהֹושִׁיעֵ֑נִי כִּֽי־סַלְעִ֖י וּמְצוּדָתִ֣י אָֽתָּה׃

4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

4 אֱ‍ֽלֹהַ֗י פַּ֭לְּטֵנִי מִיַּ֣ד רָשָׁ֑ע מִכַּ֖ף מְעַוֵּ֣ל וְחֹומֵץ¹׃

5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; My confidence from my youth.

5 כִּֽי־אַתָּ֥ה תִקְוָתִ֑י אֲדֹנָ֥י יְ֝הוִ֗ה מִבְטַחִ֥י מִנְּעוּרָֽי׃

6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you.

6 עָלֶ֤יךָ׀ נִסְמַ֬כְתִּי מִבֶּ֗טֶן מִמְּעֵ֣י אִ֭מִּי אַתָּ֣ה גֹוזִ֑י בְּךָ֖ תְהִלָּתִ֣י תָמִֽיד׃

7 I am a marvel to many, But you are my strong refuge.

7 כְּ֭מֹופֵת הָיִ֣יתִי לְרַבִּ֑ים וְ֝אַתָּ֗ה מַֽחֲסִי־עֹֽז׃

8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, With your honor all the day.

8 יִמָּ֣לֵא פִ֭י תְּהִלָּתֶ֑ךָ כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום תִּפְאַרְתֶּֽךָ׃

9 Don't reject me in my old age. Don't forsake me when my strength fails.

9 אַֽל־תַּ֭שְׁלִיכֵנִי לְעֵ֣ת זִקְנָ֑ה כִּכְלֹ֥ות כֹּ֝חִ֗י אַֽל־תַּעַזְבֵֽנִי׃

10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

10 כִּֽי־אָמְר֣וּ אֹויְבַ֣י לִ֑י וְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י נֹועֲצ֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

11 Saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."

11 לֵ֭אמֹר אֱלֹהִ֣ים עֲזָבֹ֑ו רִֽדְפ֥וּ וְ֝תִפְשׂ֗וּהוּ כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַצִּֽיל׃

12 God, don't be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

12 אֱ֭לֹהִים אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חִישָׁה חֽוּשָׁה׃

13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

13 יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ יִכְלוּ֮ שֹׂטְנֵ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יַֽעֲט֣וּ חֶ֭רְפָּה וּכְלִמָּ֑ה מְ֝בַקְשֵׁ֗י רָעָתִֽי׃

14 But I will always hope, And will add to all of your praise.

14 וַ֭אֲנִי תָּמִ֣יד אֲיַחֵ֑ל וְ֝הֹוסַפְתִּ֗י עַל־כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, And of your salvation all day, Though I don't know its full measure.

15 פִּ֤י׀ יְסַפֵּ֬ר צִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ כָּל־הַיֹּ֥ום תְּשׁוּעָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹ֖א יָדַ֣עְתִּי סְפֹרֹֽות׃

16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

16 אָבֹ֗וא בִּ֭גְבֻרֹות אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֑ה אַזְכִּ֖יר צִדְקָתְךָ֣ לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃

17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

17 אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים לִמַּדְתַּ֥נִי מִנְּעוּרָ֑י וְעַד־הֵ֝֗נָּה אַגִּ֥יד נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don't forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come.

18 וְגַ֤ם עַד־זִקְנָ֨ה׀ וְשֵׂיבָה֮ אֱלֹהִ֪ים אַֽל־תַּעַ֫זְבֵ֥נִי עַד־אַגִּ֣יד זְרֹועֲךָ֣ לְדֹ֑ור לְכָל־יָ֝בֹ֗וא גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; You have done great things. God, who is like you?

19 וְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ אֱלֹהִ֗ים עַד־מָ֫רֹ֥ום אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֥יתָ גְדֹלֹ֑ות אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים מִ֣י כָמֹֽוךָ׃

20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, You will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

20 אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִרְאִיתַנוּ הִרְאִיתַ֨נִי׀ צָרֹ֥ות רַבֹּ֗ות וְרָ֫עֹ֥ות תָּשׁ֥וּב תְּחַיֵּינוּ תְּחַיֵּ֑ינִי וּֽמִתְּהֹמֹ֥ות הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ תָּשׁ֥וּב תַּעֲלֵֽנִי׃

21 Increase my honor, And comfort me again.

21 תֶּ֤רֶב׀ גְּֽדֻלָּתִ֗י וְתִסֹּ֥ב תְּֽנַחֲמֵֽנִי׃

22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

22 גַּם־אֲנִ֤י׀ אֹודְךָ֣ בִכְלִי־נֶבֶל֮ אֲמִתְּךָ֪ אֱלֹ֫הָ֥י אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה לְךָ֣ בְכִנֹּ֑ור קְ֝דֹ֗ושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

23 תְּרַנֵּ֣נָּ֣ה פָתַי כִּ֣י אֲזַמְּרָה־לָּ֑ךְ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּדִֽיתָ׃

24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, For they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

24 גַּם־לְשֹׁונִ֗י כָּל־הַ֭יֹּום תֶּהְגֶּ֣ה צִדְקָתֶ֑ךָ כִּי־בֹ֥שׁוּ כִֽי־חָ֝פְר֗וּ מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י רָעָתִֽי׃
