LeDavid mizmor, chesed umishpat ashira, lecha Adonai azamera.

Of David. A psalm. I will sing of faithfulness and justice; I will chant a hymn to You, O LORD.

אַשְׂכִּילָה בְּדֶרֶךְ תָּמִים מָתַי תָּבוֹא אֵלָי אֶתְהַלֵּךְ בְּתָם־לְבָבִי בְּקֶרֶב בֵּיתִי׃

Askila bederech tamim, matai tavo elai, ethalech betom levavi bekerev beiti.

I will study the way of the blameless; when will You come to me? I will live with a blameless heart within my house.

לֹא־אָשִׁית לְנֶגֶד עֵינַי דְּבַר־בְּלִיָּעַל עֲשֹׂה־סֵטִים שָׂנֵאתִי לֹא יִדְבַּק בִּי׃

Lo ashit leneged einai devar beliya'al, aseh setim saneiti, lo yidbak bi.

I will not set before my eyes anything base; I hate crooked dealing; it shall not cling to me.

לֵבָב עִקֵּשׁ יָסוּר מִמֶּנִּי רָע לֹא אֵדָע׃

Levav ikesh yasur mimeni, ra lo eda.

A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.

מְלוֹשְׁנִי בַסֵּתֶר רֵעֵהוּ אוֹתוֹ אַצְמִית גְּבַהּ־עֵינַיִם וּרְחַב לֵבָב אֹתוֹ לֹא אוּכָל׃

My eyes are on the faithful of the land, to have them dwell with me; he who walks in the way of the blameless shall minister to me.

He who deals deceitfully shall not dwell in my house; he who speaks lies shall not stand before my eyes.

A prayer of the lowly man when he is faint and pours forth his plea before the LORD.

יְהוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבוֹא׃

Adonai shim'a tefilati, veshav'ati elecha tavo.

O LORD, hear my prayer; let my cry come before You.

אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיוֹם צַר־לִי הַטֵּה־אֵלַי אָזְנֶךָ בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי׃

Al taster panecha mimeni beyom tzar li, hate elai oznecha beyom ekra maher aneni.

Do not hide Your face from me in my time of trouble; turn Your ear to me; when I cry, answer me speedily.

Ki efer kalechem achalti, veshikuvai bivchi masachti.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with tears,

מִפְּנֵי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי׃

Mipnei za'amcha vekitzpecha, ki nesatani vatashlicheini.

because of Your wrath and fury; for You have lifted me up and cast me aside.
