מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד בְּבָרְחוֹ מִפְּנֵי אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנוֹ:
A song of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
יְהוָה מָה רַבּוּ צָרָי רַבִּים קָמִים עָלָי:
O Lord, how many have my adversaries become! Great men rise up against me.
רַבִּים אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי אֵין יְשׁוּעָתָה לּוֹ בֵאלֹהִים סֶלָה:
Great men say concerning my soul, "He has no salvation in God to eternity."
וְאַתָּה יְהוָה מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי כְּבוֹדִי וּמֵרִים רֹאשִׁי:
But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory and He Who raises up my head.
קוֹלִי אֶל יְהוָה אֶקְרָא וַיַּעֲנֵנִי מֵהַר קָדְשׁוֹ סֶלָה:
With my voice, I call to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy mount to eternity.
אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי וָאִישָׁנָה הֱקִיצוֹתִי כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵנִי:
I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord will support me.
לֹא אִירָא מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב שָׁתוּ עָלָי:
I will not fear ten thousands of people, who have set themselves against me all around.
קוּמָה יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי כִּי הִכִּיתָ אֶת כָּל אֹיְבַי לֶחִי שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּרְתָּ:
Arise, O Lord, save me, my God, for You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
לַיהוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַל עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּלָה:
It is incumbent upon the Lord to save, and it is incumbent upon Your people to bless You forever.
