מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑ד בְּ֝בָרְח֗וֹ מִפְּנֵ֤י ׀ אַבְשָׁל֬וֹם בְּנֽוֹ׃ 1 A psalm. By David. When he was fleeing from Absalom, his son.
יְ֭הוָה מָֽה־רַבּ֣וּ צָרָ֑י 2a YHWH, how my adversaries have become many!
רַ֝בִּ֗ים קָמִ֥ים עָלָֽי׃ 2b Many are those rising against me.
רַבִּים֮ אֹמְרִ֪ים לְנַ֫פְשִׁ֥י 3a Many are those saying about me,
אֵ֤ין יְֽשׁוּעָ֓תָה לּ֬וֹ בֵֽאלֹהִ֬ים סֶֽלָה׃ 3b "There is no victory for him in God!" Selah.
וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה מָגֵ֣ן בַּעֲדִ֑י 4a But you, YHWH, are a shield for me,
כְּ֝בוֹדִ֗י וּמֵרִ֥ים רֹאשִֽׁי׃ 4b my honor, and the one who lifts my head.
ק֭וֹלִי אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א 5a I call aloud to YHWH,
וַיַּֽעֲנֵ֨נִי מֵהַ֖ר קָדְשׁ֣וֹ סֶֽלָה׃ 5b and he answers me from his holy mountain. Selah.
אֲנִ֥י שָׁכַ֗בְתִּי וָֽאִ֫ישָׁ֥נָה 6a I lay down and fell asleep.
הֱקִיצ֑וֹתִי כִּ֖י יְהוָ֣ה יִסְמְכֵֽנִי׃ 6b I woke up, because YHWH supports me.
לֹֽא־אִ֭ירָא מֵרִבְב֥וֹת עָ֑ם 7a I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
אֲשֶׁ֥ר סָ֝בִ֗יב שָׁ֣תוּ עָלָֽי׃ 7b who have taken position against me all around.
ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ הוֹשִׁ֘יעֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהַ֗י 8a Rise up, YHWH! Save me, my God!
כִּֽי־הִכִּ֣יתָ אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבַ֣י לֶ֑חִי 8b For you have struck all my enemies on the jaw.
שִׁנֵּ֖י רְשָׁעִ֣ים שִׁבַּֽרְתָּ׃ 8c You have broken wicked people's teeth.
לַיהוָ֥ה הַיְשׁוּעָ֑ה 9a Victory is YHWH's!
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ֖ בִרְכָתֶ֣ךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ 9b Your blessing is on your people. Selah.
