| לְ֭כוּ | 1.1 | Come, |
| נְרַנְּנָ֣ה לַיהוָ֑ה | 1.2 | let us shout for joy to YHWH! |
| נָ֝רִ֗יעָה לְצ֣וּר יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ׃ | 1.3 | Let us cry out to the rock of our salvation! |
| נְקַדְּמָ֣ה פָנָ֣יו בְּתוֹדָ֑ה | 2.1 | Let us approach his presence with praise; |
| בִּ֝זְמִר֗וֹת נָרִ֥יעַֽ לֽוֹ׃ | 2.2 | in songs we will cry out to him |
| כִּ֤י אֵ֣ל גָּד֣וֹל יְהוָ֑ה וּמֶ֥לֶךְ גָּ֝ד֗וֹל עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 3.1 | because YHWH is a great God and a great king over all gods, |
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּ֭יָדוֹ מֶחְקְרֵי־אָ֑רֶץ | 4.1 | [a God] in whose hand are the unexplored depths of the earth |
| וְתוֹעֲפ֖וֹת הָרִ֣ים לֽוֹ׃ | 4.2 | and the peaks of the mountains are his; |
| אֲשֶׁר־ל֣וֹ הַ֭יָּם | 5.1 | to whom belongs the sea |
| וְה֣וּא עָשָׂ֑הוּ | 5.2 | —he made it— |
| וְ֝יַבֶּ֗שֶׁת יָדָ֥יו יָצָֽרוּ׃ | 5.3 | and the dry land which his hands formed. |
| בֹּ֭אוּ | 6.1 | Come, |
| נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֣ה | 6.2 | let us bow down |
| וְנִכְרָ֑עָה | 6.3 | and kneel! |
| נִ֝בְרְכָ֗ה לִֽפְנֵי־יְהוָ֥ה עֹשֵֽׂנוּ׃ | 6.4 | Let us kneel down before YHWH, our maker, |
| כִּ֘י ה֤וּא אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ | 7.1 | because he is our God |
| וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַ֣ם מַ֭רְעִיתוֹ וְצֹ֣אן יָד֑וֹ | 7.2 | and we are the people he shepherds, the flock led by his hand. |
| הַ֝יּ֗וֹם אִֽם־בְּקֹל֥וֹ תִשְׁמָֽעוּ׃ | 7.3 | Today, if you want to obey his voice... |
| אַל־תַּקְשׁ֣וּ לְ֭בַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָ֑ה כְּי֥וֹם מַ֝סָּ֗ה בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ | 8.1 | Do not harden your heart as [at] Meribah, as [on] the day of Massah in the wilderness, |
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭סּוּנִי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶ֑ם | 9.1 | where your ancestors put me to the test. |
| בְּ֝חָנ֗וּנִי | 9.2 | They tested me. |
| גַּם־רָא֥וּ פָעֳלִֽי׃ | 9.3 | They had even seen my work! |
| אַרְבָּ֘עִ֤ים שָׁנָ֨ה׀ אָ֘ק֤וּט בְּד֗וֹר | 10.1 | For forty years I was disgusted with a generation |
| וָאֹמַ֗ר | 10.2 | and I would think: |
| עַ֤ם תֹּעֵ֣י לֵבָ֣ב הֵ֑ם | 10.3 | 'They are a people whose heart strays |
| וְ֝הֵ֗ם לֹא־יָדְע֥וּ דְרָכָֽי׃ | 10.4 | and they do not recognize my ways. |
| אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּ֥עְתִּי בְאַפִּ֑י | 11.1 | [They are a people] about whom I swore in my anger, |
| אִם־יְ֝בֹא֗וּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִֽי׃ | 11.2 | They will not enter into my place of rest!"' |
