2
אוֹדֶה יְהוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ
I will give thanks unto HaShem with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
Ἐξομολογήσομαι σοι Κύριε ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ μου, διηγήσομαι πάντα τὰ θαυμάσιά σου.
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
3
אֶשְׂמְחָה וְאֶעֶלְצָה בָךְ אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ עֶלְיוֹן
I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
Εὐφρανθήσομαι καὶ ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐν σοὶ, ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ὕψιστε.

4
בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְיֹאבְדוּ מִפָּנֶיךָ
When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;
Ἐν τῷ ἀποστραφῆναι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, ἀσθενήσουσι καὶ ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.
When mine enemies are turned back, They shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.
5
כִּי־עָשִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִסֵּא שׁוֹפֵט צֶדֶק
For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
Ὅτι ἐποίησας τὴν κρίσιν μου καὶ τὴν δίκην μου, ἐκάθισας ἐπὶ θρόνου ὁ κρίνων δικαιοσύνην.
For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; Thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.
6
גָּעַרְתָּ גוֹיִם אִבַּדְתָּ רָשָׁע שְׁמָם מָחִיתָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
Ἐπετίμησας ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβὴς· τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; Thou hast blotted out their name forever, even forever and ever.
7
הָאוֹיֵב תַּמּוּ חֳרָבוֹת לָנֶצַח וְעָרִים נָתַשְׁתָּ אָבַד זִכְרָם הֵמָּה
O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.
Τοῦ ἐχθροῦ ἐξέλιπον αἱ ῥομφαῖαι εἰς τέλος, καὶ πόλεις καθεῖλες· ἀπώλετο τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν μετʼ ἤχου,
The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: Their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
8
וַיהוָה לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב כּוֹנֵן לַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּסְאוֹ
But HaShem is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
καὶ ὁ Κύριος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει· ἡτοίμασεν ἐν κρίσει τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ,
But the Lord endures forever: He has prepared his throne for judgment.
9
וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁר͏ִים
And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
καὶ αὐτὸς κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, κρινεῖ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will judge the nations in uprightness.
10
וִיהִי יְהוָה מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָה
HaShem also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
Καὶ ἐγένετο Κύριος καταφυγὴ τῷ πένητι, βοηθὸς ἐν εὐκαιρίαις, ἐν θλίψει.
The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, A seasonable help, in affliction.
11
וְיִבְטְחוּ בְךָ יוֹדְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי לֹא־עָזַבְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁיךָ יְהוָה
And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, HaShem, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
Καὶ ἐλπισάτωσαν ἐπὶ σὲ οἱ γινώσκοντες τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες τοὺς ἐκζητοῦντάς σε Κύριε.
And let them that know thy name hope in thee: For thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
12
זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה יֹשֵׁב צִיּוֹן הַגִּידוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילוֹתָיו
Sing praises to HaShem, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.
Ψάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ κατοικοῦντι ἐν Σιὼν, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion: Declare his dealings among the nations.
13
כִּי־דֹרֵשׁ דָּמִים אוֹתָם זָכָר לֹא־שָׁכַח צַעֲקַת עניים עֲנָו͏ִים
For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
Ὅτι ἐκζητῶν τὰ αἵματα αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθη, οὐκ ἐπελάθετο τῆς δεήσεως τῶν πενήτων.
For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: He has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
14
חָנְנֵנִי יְהוָה רְאֵה עָנְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָי מְרוֹמְמִי מִשַּׁעֲרֵי מָוֶת
Be gracious unto me, O HaShem, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
Ἐλέησόν με Κύριε, ἴδε τὴν ταπείνωσίν μου ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου, ὁ ὑψῶν με ἐκ τῶν πυλῶν τοῦ θανάτου·
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
15
לְמַעַן אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֶיךָ בְּשַׁעֲרֵי בַת־צִיּוֹן אָגִילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ
That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
Ὅπως ἂν ἐξαγγείλω πάσας τὰς αἰνέσεις σου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τῆς θυγατρὸς Σιών· ἀγαλλιάσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ σωτηρίῳ σου.
That I may declare all thy praises In the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will exult in thy salvation.
16
טָבְעוּ גוֹיִם בְּשַׁחַת עָשׂוּ בְּרֶשֶׁת־זוּ טָמָנוּ נִלְכְּדָה רַגְלָם
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Ἐνεπάγησαν ἔθνη ἐν διαφθορᾷ ᾗ ἐποίησαν· ἐν παγίδι ταύτῃ ᾗ ἔκρυψαν συνελήφθη ὁ ποὺς αὐτῶν.
The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: In the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
17
נוֹדַע יְהוָה מִשְׁפָּט עָשָׂה בְּפֹעַל כַּפָּיו נוֹקֵשׁ רָשָׁע הִגָּיוֹן סֶלָה
HaShem hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
Γινώσκεται Κύριος κρίματα ποιῶν, ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ συνελήφθη ὁ ἁμαρτωλός· ᾠδὴ διαψάλματος.
The Lord is known as executing judgments: The sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause.
18
יָשׁוּבוּ רְשָׁעִים לִשְׁאוֹלָה כָּל־גּוֹיִם שְׁכֵחֵי אֱלֹהִים
The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget G-d.
Ἀποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐπιλανθανόμενα τοῦ Θεοῦ.
Let sinners be driven away into Hades, [Even] all the nations that forget God.
19
כִּי לֹא לָנֶצַח יִשָּׁכַח אֶבְיוֹן תִּקְוַת ענוים עֲנִיִּים תֹּאבַד לָעַד
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
Ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τέλος ἐπιλησθήσεται ὁ πτωχὸς, ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν πενήτων οὐκ ἀπολεῖται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
For the poor shall not be forgotten forever: The patience of the needy ones shall not perish forever.
20
קוּמָה יְהוָה אַל־יָעֹז אֱנוֹשׁ יִשָּׁפְטוּ גוֹיִם עַל־פָּנֶיךָ
Arise, O HaShem, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
Ἀνάστηθι Κύριε, μὴ κραταιούσθω ἄνθρωπος, κριθήτωσαν ἔθνη ἐνώπιόν σου.
Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: Let the heathen be judged before thee.
21
שִׁיתָה יְהוָה מוֹרָה לָהֶם יֵדְעוּ גוֹיִם אֱנוֹשׁ הֵמָּה סֶּלָה
Set terror over them, O HaShem; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: Let the heathen know that they are men. Pause.
