לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ בִּ֭נְגִינוֹת עַֽל־הַשְּׁמִינִ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד | 1 | For the leader on strings over octaves. A psalm of David. | 3e | 4B | 16 | |
יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי | 2 | Yahweh, do not in your anger correct me, and do not in your heat chasten me. | 3e | 4A | 10 10 | |
חָנֵּ֥נִי יְהוָה֮ כִּ֤י אֻמְלַ֫ל אָ֥נִי רְפָאֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֖י נִבְהֲל֣וּ עֲצָמָֽי | 3 | Be gracious to me, Yahweh, for I, I am feeble. Heal me Yahweh, for vexed are my bones. | 3e | 4C | 10 6 7 | |
וְ֭נַפְשִׁי נִבְהֲלָ֣ה מְאֹ֑ד וְאַתָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַד־מָתָֽי | 4 | g | And my being is vexed much. And you, Yahweh, how long? | 3e | 4B | 8 8 |

יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכָל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה | 7 | I am weary with my sighing. I make my couch swim every night. In my tears my bed I dissolve. | 3e | 4C | 16 8 | |
עָֽשְׁשָׁ֣ה מִכַּ֣עַס עֵינִ֑י עָֽ֝תְקָ֗ה בְּכָל־צוֹרְרָֽי | 8 | Swollen from grief my eye, viscous in all my troubles. | 3e | 4B | 7 6 | |
ס֣וּרוּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־שָׁמַ֥ע יְ֝הוָ֗ה ק֣וֹל בִּכְיִֽי | 9 | B | Depart from me, all workers of mischief, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping. | 3e | 4B | 11 7 |
שָׁמַ֣ע יְ֭הוָה תְּחִנָּתִ֑י יְ֝הוָ֗ה תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י יִקָּֽח | 10 | Yahweh hears my supplication. Yahweh will my prayer receive. | 3e | 4B | 8 8 | |
יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ ׀ וְיִבָּהֲל֣וּ מְ֭אֹד כָּל־אֹיְבָ֑י יָ֝שֻׁ֗בוּ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ רָֽגַע | 11 | Shamed and vexed much all my enemies. Let them turn and be ashamed in a moment. | 3e | 4C | 13 8 |
