א שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת:
מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יְהוָה. |
1 A Song of Ascents. {N}
Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD. |
ב אֲדֹנָי, שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי:
תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ, קַשֻּׁבוֹת– לְקוֹל, תַּחֲנוּנָי. |
2 Lord, hearken unto my voice; {N}
let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. |
| ג אִם-עֲוֺנוֹת תִּשְׁמָר-יָהּ– אֲדֹנָי, מִי יַעֲמֹד. |
3 If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? |
| ד כִּי-עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה– לְמַעַן, תִּוָּרֵא. |
4 For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared. |
| ה קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה, קִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי; וְלִדְבָרוֹ הוֹחָלְתִּי. |
5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope. |
| ו נַפְשִׁי לַאדֹנָי– מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר, שֹׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר. |
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning; yea, more than watchmen for the morning. |
| ז יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-יְהוָה: כִּי-עִם-יְהוָה הַחֶסֶד; וְהַרְבֵּה עִמּוֹ פְדוּת. |
7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption. |
| ח וְהוּא, יִפְדֶּה אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל– מִכֹּל, עֲוֺנֹתָיו. |
8 And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. {P} |
