חוס אלוהי
חוס אלוהי ממעונך
על חבצלת שרונך
יעבור עלי רצונך
כאשר עבר חרונך
שגבני מזדוני
כי לך ליבי ועיני
הלעולמים עווני
יעמוד בינך וביני
דוד מחה אויב מעקש
כי לנגדי הוא למוקש
ועדי מתי אבקש
אותך עימי ואינך
קרוב מקרובים
גם סביבך שבבים
דר בכנפי הכרובים
הפרושים על ארונך
ידך תנחה פזורים
בעבור חסד נעורים
העבדתני לזרים
ואני כנת ימינך
גדעה קרן מעיני
בעבור שימך אדוני
גואלי לגאול המוני
רוב והשקף ממעונך

Have mercy, my God
Have mercy, my God, from your abode
on your lily.1
May your will pass over me
as your anger as passed.
Exalt me above my enemies
for my heart and eyes are yours.
Shall my sin forever
stand between you and me?
Beloved, erase the crooked enemy
for he is an obstacle set against me,
and until when shall I seek
you with me, though you are absent?
Closest of close ones,
surrounded by sparks,
dwelling in the wings of the cherubim,
spread over your ark.2
Your hand guides the scattered,
for the sake of the grace of youth,3
You enslaved me to foreigners
and I am the foundation of of your right hand.4
The ray of light has been cut off from my eyes
for the sake of your name, oh God.5
My savior, to save my multitudes,
ascend and look down from your abode.
