In lieu of a cheesy midi file

Your first hebrew psalm!!! Come on readers, you can do it and even post the MP3, I dare you... You can listen to the psalm by clicking on one of the "Mizmor l'David" on this list -Rosalie Gerut's has the best pronunciation- and you'll need RealPlayer.


Mizmor l'David Hashem ro'i lo echsar
Bin'ot deshe yarbitzeni, al me m'nuchot y'nahaleni
(A Psalm of David. Hashem is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters)

Nafshi y'shovev
Yancheni b'ma'agle tzedek l'ma'an sh'mo
(He restores my soul
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake)

Gam ki elech b'ge tzalmavet
Lo ira ra, ki atah imadi
Shivt'cha umish'antecha hema y'nachamuni
(Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, for You are with me
Your rod and Your staff comfort me)

Ta'aroch l'fanai shulchan neged tzor'rai
Dishanta vashemen roshi
Kosi r'vaya
(You set a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil
My cup overflows)

Ach tov vachesed yird'funi kol y'me chayai
V'shavti b'vet Hashem l'orech yamim
(Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the House of Hashem forever)
