First Light, First Words.

לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶֽל־הַנְּחִיל֗וֹת מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

Give ear to my words, O Lord ; consider my groaning.

אֲמָרַ֖י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה׀ יְהוָ֗ה בִּ֣ינָה הֲגִֽיגִי׃

[2] Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray.

הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה׀ לְק֬וֹל שַׁוְעִ֗י מַלְכִּ֥י וֵאלֹהָ֑י כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ אֶתְפַּלָּֽל׃

[3] O Lord , in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

יְֽהוָ֗ה בֹּ֭קֶר תִּשְׁמַ֣ע קוֹלִ֑י בֹּ֥קֶר אֶֽעֱרָךְ־לְ֝ךָ֗ וַאֲצַפֶּֽה׃

[4] For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.

כִּ֤י׀ לֹ֤א אֵֽל־חָפֵ֘ץ רֶ֥שַׁע׀ אָ֑תָּה לֹ֖א יְגֻרְךָ֣ רָֽע׃

[5] The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.

לֹֽא־יִתְיַצְּב֣וּ הֽ֭וֹלְלִים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינֶ֑יךָ שָׂ֝נֵ֗אתָ כָּל־פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

[6] You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב׀ יְהוָֽה׃

[7] But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.

וַאֲנִ֗י בְּרֹ֣ב חַ֭סְדְּךָ אָב֣וֹא בֵיתֶ֑ךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֥ה אֶל־הֵֽיכַל־קָ֝דְשְׁךָ֗ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃

[8] Lead me, O Lord , in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me.

יְהוָ֤ה׀ נְחֵ֬נִי בְצִדְקָתֶ֗ךָ לְמַ֥עַן שׁוֹרְרָ֑י ׳הוֹשַׁר׳ ״הַיְשַׁ֖ר״ לְפָנַ֣י דַּרְכֶּֽךָ׃

[9] For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.

כִּ֤י אֵ֪ין בְּפִ֡יהוּ נְכוֹנָה֮ קִרְבָּ֪ם הַ֫וּ֥וֹת קֶֽבֶר־פָּת֥וּחַ גְּרוֹנָ֑ם לְ֝שׁוֹנָ֗ם יַחֲלִֽיקוּן׃

[10] Make them bear their guilt, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

הַֽאֲשִׁימֵ֨ם׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים יִפְּלוּ֮ מִֽמֹּעֲצ֪וֹתֵ֫יהֶ֥ם בְּרֹ֣ב פִּ֭שְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵ֑מוֹ כִּי־מָ֥רוּ בָֽךְ׃

[11] But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.

וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ כָל־ח֪וֹסֵי בָ֡ךְ לְעוֹלָ֣ם יְ֭רַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵ֣ךְ עָלֵ֑ימוֹ וְֽיַעְלְצ֥וּ בְ֝ךָ֗ אֹהֲבֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

[12] For you bless the righteous, O Lord ; you cover him with favor as with a shield.

כִּֽי־אַתָּה֮ תְּבָרֵ֪ךְ צַ֫דִּ֥יק יְהוָ֑ה כַּ֝צִּנָּ֗ה רָצ֥וֹן תַּעְטְרֶֽנּוּ׃
