תַּרְחִ֣יב צַעֲדִ֣י תַחְתָּ֑י 37a You enlarged my steps underneath me.
וְלֹ֥א מָ֝עֲד֗וּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ 37b And my ankles did not falter.
אֶרְדּ֣וֹף א֭וֹיְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵ֑ם 38a I chased my enemies and I overtook them.
וְלֹֽא־אָ֝שׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ 38b And I would not relent until their destruction.
אֶ֭מְחָצֵם וְלֹא־יֻ֣כְלוּ ק֑וּם 39a I violently beat them, and they could not stand.
יִ֝פְּל֗וּ תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽי׃ 39b They fell beneath my feet.
וַתְּאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חַ֭יִל לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה 40a And so you armed me with strength for war.
תַּכְרִ֖יעַ קָמַ֣י תַּחְתָּֽי׃ 40b You make those who rise up against me kneel underneath me.
וְֽאֹיְבַ֗י נָתַ֣תָּה לִּ֣י עֹ֑רֶף 41a And you have made my enemies retreat from me.
וּ֝מְשַׂנְאַ֗י אַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ 41b And as for those who hate me, I wipe them out.
יְשַׁוְּע֥וּ וְאֵין־מוֹשִׁ֑יעַ 42a They cry out for help, and there is no rescuer.
אֶל־יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְלֹ֣א עָנָֽם׃ 42b to YHWH, and he has not answered them.
וְֽאֶשְׁחָקֵ֗ם כְּעָפָ֥ר עַל־פְּנֵי־אֹ֑֑רַח 43a And I crush them like the dust on the road.
כְּטִ֖יט חוּצ֣וֹת אֶרְקָעֵֽם׃ 43b I beat them like the mud of the streets.
תְּפַלְּטֵנִי֮ מֵרִ֪יבֵ֫י עַםִ֥ים 44a You will deliver me from people's indictments.
תְּ֭שִׂימֵנִי לְרֹ֣אשׁ גּוֹיִ֑ם 44b You will make me head of nations.
עַ֖ם לֹא־יָדַ֣עְתִּי יַֽעַבְדֽוּנִי׃ 44c people I do not know will serve me.
לְשֵׁ֣מַֽע אֹ֭זֶן יִשָּׁ֣מְעוּ לִ֑י 45a As soon as they hear rumors of me they will show obedience to me.
בְּנֵֽי־נֵ֝כָ֗ר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לִֽי׃ 45b Foreigners will submit to me.
בְּנֵי־נֵכָ֥ר יִבֹּ֑לוּ 46a Foreigners will lose heart
וְ֝יַחְרְג֗וּ מִֽמִּסְגְּרֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ 46b and tremble from their fortresses.
חַי־יְ֭הוָה וּבָר֣וּךְ צוּרִ֑י 47a YHWH lives! And my rock is blessed!
וְ֝יָר֗וּם אֱלוֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃ 47b And the God of my rescue is exalted!
הָאֵ֗ל הַנּוֹתֵ֣ן נְקָמ֣וֹת לִ֑י 48a God—who gives me vengeance,
וַיַּדְבֵּ֖ר עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽי׃ 48b and subdues peoples underneath me.
מְפַלְּטִ֗י מֵאֹ֫יְבָ֥י 49a who deliver me from my enemies
אַ֣ף מִן־קָ֭מַי תְּרוֹמְמֵ֑נִי 49b You who deliver me from my enemies will indeed exalt me over those who rise up against me.
מֵאִ֥ישׁ חָ֝מָ֗ס תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ 49c You will rescue me from the violent man.
עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ אוֹדְךָ֖ בַגּוֹיִ֥ם ׀ יְהוָ֑ה 50a Therefore I shall praise you among the nations, YHWH!
וּלְשִׁמְךָ֥ אֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃ 50b And I shall sing praise to your name,
מַגְדִּיל֮ יְשׁוּע֪וֹת מַ֫לְכּ֥וֹ 51a who makes the deliverance of his king spectacular,
וְעֹ֤שֶׂה חֶ֨סֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיח֗וֹ 51b and performs acts of loyalty for his anointed one,
לְדָוִ֥ד וּלְזַרְע֗וֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ 51c for David, and for his seed, forever.”
