1 (CPDV) The prayer of the pauper, when he was anxious, and so he poured out his petition in the sight of the Lord.
1 (HEM) לדוד מזמור חסד ומשפט אשירה לך יהוה אזמרה׃

2 (CPDV) O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you.
2 (HEM) אשכילה בדרך תמים מתי תבוא אלי אתהלך בתם לבבי בקרב ביתי׃

3 (CPDV) Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly.
3 (HEM) לא אשית לנגד עיני דבר בליעל עשה סטים שנאתי לא ידבק בי׃

4 (CPDV) For my days have faded away like smoke, and my bones have dried out like firewood.
4 (HEM) לבב עקש יסור ממני רע לא אדע׃

5 (CPDV) I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.
5 (HEM) מלושני בסתר רעהו אותו אצמית גבה עינים ורחב לבב אתו לא אוכל׃

6 (CPDV) Before the voice of my groaning, my bone has adhered to my flesh.
6 (HEM) עיני בנאמני ארץ לשבת עמדי הלך בדרך תמים הוא ישרתני׃

7 (CPDV) I have become like a pelican in solitude. I have become like a night raven in a house.
7 (HEM) לא ישב בקרב ביתי עשה רמיה דבר שקרים לא יכון לנגד עיני׃

8 (CPDV) I have kept vigil, and I have become like a solitary sparrow on a roof.
8 (HEM) לבקרים אצמית כל רשעי ארץ להכרית מעיר יהוה כל פעלי און׃

9 (CPDV) All day long my enemies reproached me, and those who praised me swore oaths against me.
9 ----

10 (CPDV) For I chewed on ashes like bread, and I mixed weeping into my drink.
10 ----

11 (CPDV) By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down.
11 ----

12 (CPDV) My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay.
12 ----

13 (CPDV) But you, O Lord, endure for eternity, and your memorial is from generation to generation.
13 ----

14 (CPDV) You will rise up and take pity on Zion, for it is time for its mercy, for the time has come.
14 ----

15 (CPDV) For its stones have pleased your servants, and they will take pity on its land.
15 ----

16 (CPDV) And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 ----

17 (CPDV) For the Lord has built up Zion, and he will be seen in his glory.
17 ----

18 (CPDV) He has noticed of the prayer of the humble, and he has not despised their petition.
18 ----

19 (CPDV) Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.
19 ----

20 (CPDV) For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth.
20 ----

21 (CPDV) So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.
21 ----

22 (CPDV) So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:
22 ----

23 (CPDV) while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.
23 ----

24 (CPDV) He responded to him in the way of his virtue: Declare to me the brevity of my days.
24 ----

25 (CPDV) Do not call me back in the middle of my days: your years are from generation to generation.
25 ----

26 (CPDV) In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 ----

27 (CPDV) They will perish, but you remain. And all will grow old like a garment. And, like a blanket, you will change them, and they will be changed.
27 ----

28 (CPDV) Yet you are ever yourself, and your years will not decline.
28 ----

29 (CPDV) The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.
