Edified Edition (EDE)LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.

מִזְמ֗וֹר לְדָ֫וִ֥ד יְהוָ֤ה ׀ שְׁמַ֬ע תְּפִלָּתִ֗י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה אֶל־תַּחֲנוּנַ֑י בֶּאֱמֻנָתְךָ֥ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Do not bring your servant into judgement, for no one living is righteous before you.

וְאַל־תָּב֣וֹא בְ֭מִשְׁפָּט אֶת־עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יִצְדַּ֖ק לְפָנֶ֣יךָ כָל־חָֽי׃

Edified Edition (EDE)The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like those long dead.

כִּ֥י רָ֘דַ֤ף אוֹיֵ֨ב ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י דִּכָּ֣א לָ֭אָרֶץ חַיָּתִ֑י הוֹשִׁיבַ֥נִי בְ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים כְּמֵתֵ֥י עוֹלָֽם׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): vatּite'atּe֣p 'ala֣y ruchi֑y bּe֝toki֗y yishshetּome֥m libּiֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.

וַתִּתְעַטֵּ֣ף עָלַ֣י רוּחִ֑י בְּ֝תוֹכִ֗י יִשְׁתּוֹמֵ֥ם לִבִּֽי׃

5

Edified Edition (EDE)I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

זָ֘כַ֤רְתִּי יָמִ֨ים ׀ מִקֶּ֗דֶם הָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ בְּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ אֲשׂוֹחֵֽחַ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you like a parched land.

Edified Edition (EDE)Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

מַ֘הֵ֤ר עֲנֵ֨נִי ׀ יְהוָה֮ כָּלְתָ֪ה ר֫וּחִ֥י אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם־יֹ֥רְדֵי בֽוֹר׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

הַשְׁמִ֘יעֵ֤נִי בַבֹּ֨קֶר ׀ חַסְדֶּךָ֮ כִּֽי־בְךָ֪ בָ֫טָ֥חְתִּי הוֹדִיעֵ֗נִי דֶּֽרֶךְ־ז֥וּ אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֥אתִי נַפְשִֽׁי׃

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): hatzּiyle֖niy me'oyeba֥y ׀ yehva֗h 'ele֥yka kisּiֽtiy׃

10
Phonetic (Hebrew): lamּede֤niy ׀ laֽ'ashs֣ot retzoneka֮ kּiֽy-'atּa֪h 'el֫oha֥y ruchaka֥ toba֑h tּa֝neche֗niy bּe'e֣retz miyshshֽor׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

לַמְּדֵ֤נִי ׀ לַֽעֲשׂ֣וֹת רְצוֹנֶךָ֮ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֪ה אֱל֫וֹהָ֥י רוּחֲךָ֥ טוֹבָ֑ה תַּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִישֽׁוֹר׃

Edified Edition (EDE)In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ֮ תַּצְמִ֪ית אֹ֫יְבָ֥י וְֽ֭הַאֲבַדְתָּ כָּל־צֹרֲרֵ֣י נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּ֝֗י אֲנִ֣י עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
