lyrics

Psalm 52

Ma tit'halel bera'a hagibor
(Why do you boast, oh "mighty one"?)
Chesed El kol hayom
(God’s kindness is all day long)
Havot tachshov leshonecha
(But, your tongue thinks of trickery)
Keta'ar melutash, ose remaya
(Like a cheating, sharpened razor)

Ahavta ra mitov
(You love evil more than good)
Sheker midaber tzedek, sela
(Lies, more than speaking justice)
Ahavta kol divrei vala, leshon mirma
(You love words that devour, and lying tongues)
Gam El yetozecha lanetzach
(But god will break you down forever)
Yachtecha veyesochacha me'ohel
(He’ll cut you down and remove you from your tent)
Veshereshcha me'eretzh chayim
(And pull your roots out of the land of the living)
Selah

Veyiru tzadikim veyirahu
(And the righteous will see and be amazed)
Ve'alav yitzchaku
(And they will laugh it him)
Hine hagever lo yasim Elohim ma'uzo
(Here’s the man who doesn’t put his strength in God)
Vayivtach berov oshro
(But trusts in his enormous wealth)
Ye'oz behavato
(And becomes powerful by exploiting others)

Va'ani kezayit ra'anan beveit Elohim
(But I will be like a young olive tree in the house of God)
Batachti bechesed Elohim olam va'ed
(I will trust in God’s kindness forever)

Odecha le'olam ki asita
(And I will thank you forever for what you’ve done)
Va'akave shimcha ki tov
(And trust in your name for it is good)
Neged chasidecha
(before your faithful ones)
Odecha le'olam
(And I will thank you forever)

מַה תִּתְהַלֵּל בְּרָעָה הַגִּבּוֹר
חֶסֶד אֵל כָּל הַיּוֹם
הַוּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁב לְשׁוֹנֶךָ
כְּתַעַר מְלֻטָּשׁ עֹשֵׂה רְמִיָּה

אָהַבְתָּ רָּע מִטּוֹב
שֶׁקֶר מִדַּבֵּר צֶדֶק סֶלָה
אָהַבְתָּ כָל דִּבְרֵי בָלַע לְשׁוֹן מִרְמָה
גַּם אֵל יִתָּצְךָ לָנֶצַח
יַחְתְּךָ וְיִסָּחֲךָ מֵאֹהֶל וְשֵׁרֶשְׁךָ מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים סֶלָה
וְיִרְאוּ צַדִּיקִים וְיִירָאוּ וְעָלָיו יִשְׂחָקוּ
הִנֵּה הַגֶּבֶר לֹא יָשִׂים אֱלֹהִים מָעוּזּוֹ
וַיִּבְטַח בְּרֹב עָשְׁרוֹ
יָעֹז בְּהַוָּתוֹ

וַאֲנִי כְּזַיִת רַעֲנָן בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים
בָּטַחְתִּי בְחֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶד
אוֹדְךָ לְעוֹלָם כִּי עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲקַוֶּה שִׁמְךָ כִי טוֹב
נֶגֶד חֲסִידֶיךָ
