Tehillim 145 - Chapter 145 - Psalm 145

Tehilá ledavid, aromimchá Elohai hamélech, vaavarechá shimchá leolam vaed
Bechol iom avarechêca, vaahalela shimchá leolam vaed
Gadol Adonai umehulál meód, veligdulató ên chéker
Dor ledor ieshabach maassêcha, ugvurotêcha iaguídu
Hadar kevod hodêcha, vedivrê nifleotêcha assícha
Veezúz noreotêcha iomêru, ugdulatechá assaparêna
Zécher rav tuvechá iabíu, vetsidcatechá ieranênu
Chanún verachúm Adonai, érech apáyim ugdól chássed
Tov Adonai lacól, verachámav al col maassáv
Iodúcha Adonai col maassêcha, vachassidêcha ievarechúcha
Kevód malchutechá iomêru, ugvuratechá iedabêru
Lehodía livenê haadam guevurotav, uchvod hadar malchutó
Malchutechá malchut cól olamim, umemshaltechá bechol dor vador
Somêch Adonai lechol hanofelim, vezokef lechol hakefufim
Enê chol elêcha iessabêru, veata notên lahém et ochlám beitó
Potêach et iadêcha, umasbía lechol chái ratsón
Tsadic Adonai bechol deráchav, vechassid bechol maasáv
Caróv Adonai lechol coreáv, lechol asher yicraúhu veemét
Retson iereáv iaassé, veet shav’atam yishmá veioshiem
Shomer Adonai et col ohaváv, veet col hareshaim iashmid
Tehilat Adonai iedaber pi, vivarêch col bassar shem codshó leolam vaed
