מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֗ד בִּ֫הְיוֹת֥וֹ בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר יְהוּדָֽה׃

KJVA Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

2

אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֵ֥לִי אַתָּ֗ה אֲשַׁ֫חֲרֶ֥ךָ צָמְאָ֣ה לְ֭ךָ נַפְשִׁ֑י כָּמַ֥הּ לְ֝ךָ בְשָׂרִ֗י בְּאֶ֥רֶץ צִיָּ֥ה וְעָיֵ֗ף בְּ֝לִי מָֽיִם׃

KJVO God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

כֵּ֗ן בַּ֭קֹּדֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ לִ֝רְא֗וֹת עֻזְּךָ֥ וּכְבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

KJVTo see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

4

כִּי ט֣וֹב חַ֭סְדְּךָ מֵחַיִּ֑ים שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י יְשַׁבְּחוּנְֽךָ׃

KJVBecause thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

5

כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי׃

KJVThus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

6

כְּמ֤וֹ חֵ֪לֶב וָדֶ֡שֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּ֬ע נַפְשִׁ֗י וְשִׂפְתֵ֣י רְ֭נָנוֹת יְהַלֶּל פִּֽי׃

KJVMy soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

7

אִם זְכַרְתִּ֥יךָ עַל יְצוּעָ֑י בְּ֝אַשְׁמֻר֗וֹת אֶהְגֶּה בָּֽךְ׃

KJVWhen I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

8

כִּי הָיִ֥יתָ עֶזְרָ֑תָה לִ֗י וּבְצֵ֣ל כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃

KJVBecause thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

דָּבְקָ֣ה נַ֭פְשִׁי אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝֗י תָּמְכָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;

11

יַגִּיר֥וּהוּ עַל יְדֵי חָ֑רֶב מְנָ֖ת שֻׁעָלִ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ׃

KJVThey shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.

12

וְהַמֶּ֥לֶךְ יִשְׂמַ֥ח בֵּאלֹהִ֑ים יִ֘תְהַלֵּ֤ל כָּל הַנִּשְׁבָּ֣ע בּ֭וֹ כִּ֤י יִסָּכֵ֤ר ׀ פִּ֥י דּ֗וֹבְרֵ֥י שָֽׁקֶר׃

KJVBut the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
