Ps. 78Ps. 20
Hebrew
וְהוּא רַחוּם, יְכַפֵּר עָוֹן וְלֹא־יַשְׁחִית,
וְהִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁיב אַפּוֹ, וְלֹא־יָעִיר כָּל־חֲמָתוֹ:
יְהוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה, הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם־קָרְאֵנוּ:
Sephardi
Vehu rachum, yechaper avon velo-yashchit,
vehirbah lehashiv apo, velo-ya'ir kol-chamato:
Adonai hoshi'ah, hamelech ya'aneinu beyom-kar'einu:
English
He is compassionate. He forgives iniquity and does not destroy. Repeatedly He suppresses His anger, not rousing His full wrath. LORD, save! May the King answer us on the day we call.
