For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. (MT 5:2; LXX 5:2; Rahlfs 5:2)
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִיל֗וֹת מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃
2Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray. (MT 5:3; LXX 5:3; Rahlfs 5:3)
אֲמָרַ֖י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה בִּ֣ינָה הֲגִֽיגִי׃
3In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation. (MT 5:4; LXX 5:4; Rahlfs 5:4)
הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה ׀ לְק֬וֹל שַׁוְעִ֗י מַלְכִּ֥י וֵאלֹהָ֑י כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽל׃
4For You are not a God who delights in wickedness; no evil can dwell with You. (MT 5:5; LXX 5:5; Rahlfs 5:5)
יְֽהוָ֗ה בֹּ֭קֶר תִּשְׁמַ֣ע קוֹלִ֑י בֹּ֥קֶר אֶֽעֱרָךְ־לְ֝ךָ֗ וַאֲצַפֶּֽה׃
5The boastful cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all workers of iniquity. (MT 5:6; LXX 5:6; Rahlfs 5:6)
כִּ֤י ׀ לֹ֤א אֵֽל־חָפֵ֘ץ רֶ֥שַׁע ׀ אָ֑תָּה לֹ֖א יְגֻרְךָ֣ רָֽע׃
6You destroy those who tell lies; the Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. (MT 5:7; LXX 5:7; Rahlfs 5:7)
לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּב֣וּ הֽ֭וֹלְלִים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑יךָ שָׂ֝נֵ֗אתָ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
7But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple. (MT 5:8; LXX 5:8; Rahlfs 5:8)
תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב ׀ יְהוָֽה׃
8Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me. (MT 5:9; LXX 5:9; Rahlfs 5:9)
וַאֲנִ֗י בְּרֹ֣ב חַ֭סְדְּךָ אָב֣וֹא בֵיתֶ֑ךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥ה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃
9For not a word they speak can be trusted; destruction lies within them. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. (MT 5:10; LXX 5:10; Rahlfs 5:10)
יְהוָ֤ה ׀ נְחֵ֬נִי בְצִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ לְמַ֥עַן שׁוֹרְרָ֑י הושר לְפָנַ֣י דַּרְכֶּֽךָ׃
10Declare them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own devices. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for they have rebelled against You. (MT 5:11; LXX 5:11; Rahlfs 5:11)
כִּ֤י אֵ֪ין בְּפִ֡יהוּ נְכוֹנָה֮ קִרְבָּ֪ם הַ֫וּ֥וֹת קֶֽבֶר־פָּת֥וּחַ גְּרוֹנָ֑ם לְ֝שׁוֹנָ֗ם יַחֲלִֽיקוּן׃
11But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy. May You shelter them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You. (MT 5:12; LXX 5:12; Rahlfs 5:12)
הַֽאֲשִׁימֵ֨ם ׀ אֱֽלֹהִ֗ים יִפְּלוּ֮ מִֽמֹּעֲצ֪וֹתֵ֫יהֶ֥ם בְּרֹ֣ב פִּ֭שְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵ֑מוֹ כִּי־מָ֥רוּ בָֽךְ׃
12For surely You, O Lord, bless the righteous; You surround them with the shield of Your favor. (MT 5:13; LXX 5:13; Rahlfs 5:13)
וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ כָל־ח֪וֹסֵי בָ֡ךְ לְעוֹלָ֣ם יְ֭רַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ימוֹ וְֽיַעְלְצ֥וּ בְ֝ךָ֗ אֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
