1 (For the one directing. Shir. Mizmor)
Make a joyful shout unto Elohim, kol HaAretz;
2 Sing forth the kavod Shmo;
make kavod (glorious) His tehillah (praise).
3 Say unto Elohim, How norah (awesome) art Thou in Thy ma'asim (works)!
Through the greatness of Thy oz (might) shall Thine oyevim cower before Thee.
4 Kol ha'aretz shall prostrate before Thee,
and shall sing unto Thee;
they shall sing praise to Shimecha.
Selah
5 Come and see the works of Elohim;
He is norah (awesome) in deed toward Bnei Adam.
6 He turned* the yam into yabashah (dry land);†
they passed through the nahar on regel;
there did we rejoice in Him.
7 He ruleth by His gevurah (power) olam (forever);
His eyes are a watchmanʼs eyes over the Goyim;
let not the sorerim (rebellious ones) exalt themselves.
Selah
8 Barchu Eloheinu, Amim,
and make the kol (sound) of His tehillah (praise) to be heard.
9 He is the One who set nafsheinu in chayyim
and does not permit ragleinu (our foot) to slip.
10 For Thou, Elohim, hath tested us and hast proved us;
Thou hast put us in the crucibleʼs refining and refined us as kesef.
11 Thou broughtest us into the metzudah (prison);
Thou laidst a mu'akah (burden) upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused enosh (mankind) to ride over rosheinu (our head);
we went through eish and through mayim;
but Thou broughtest us out into plenty.
13 I will come into Thy Beis‡ with olot;
I will fulfill for Thee my nedarim,
14 Which my sfatayim have uttered,
and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in tzoros.
15 I will offer unto Thee olot mekhim (burnt offerings of fat animals),
with the ketoret (incense, offering) of rams;
I will offer bakar with goats.
Selah
16 Come and hear, Kol Yirei Elohim,
and I will declare what He hath done for my nefesh.
17 I cried unto Him with my mouth,
and He was extolled with my leshon.
18 If I regard avon (iniquity, sin) in my lev,
Adonoi will not hear me;
19 But surely Elohim hath heard me;
He hath attended to the kol tefillati (voice of my prayer).
20 Baruch Elohim, Who hath not turned away my tefillah,
nor His chesed from me.
