1
לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ׀ עַֽל־נְגִינַ֬ת לְדָוִֽד׃
2
שִׁמְעָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִנָּתִ֑י הַ֝קְשִׁ֗יבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
3
מִקְצֵ֤ה הָאָ֨רֶץ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֶ֭קְרָא בַּעֲטֹ֣ף לִבִּ֑י בְּצוּר־יָר֖וּם מִמֶּ֣נִּי תַנְחֵֽנִי׃
4
כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מַחְסֶ֣ה לִ֑י מִגְדַּל־עֹ֝֗ז מִפְּנֵ֥י אֹויֵֽב׃
5
אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭אָהָלְךָ עֹולָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְסֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ סֶּֽלָה׃
6
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ לִנְדָרָ֑י נָתַ֥תָּ יְ֝רֻשַּׁ֗ת יִרְאֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
7
יָמִ֣ים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶ֣לֶךְ תֹּוסִ֑יף שְׁ֝נֹותָ֗יו כְּמֹו־דֹ֥ר וָדֹֽר׃
8
יֵשֵׁ֣ב עֹ֭ולָם לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת מַ֣ן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃
9
כֵּ֤ן אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לָעַ֑ד לְֽשַׁלְּמִ֥י נְדָרַ֗י יֹ֣ום׀ יֹֽום׃

Reading a scroll line

[ אבג ]
Grey, in brackets: letters the editor supplied. Where a lacuna runs over three words or more, only its first and last word are set; the words between keep their width but are left blank, so the size of the gap stays visible.
א̇
A dot above the letter: the reading is identified but uncertain.
°
A letter surviving only as illegible traces.
.
A lost letter inside a lacuna.

Everything else in a manuscript line is extant text. The verse-final ׃ is not printed there, and the scroll lines are consonantal throughout. Sigla are those of the ETCBC dataset.

Hover over any word, in either text, for its lexeme and morphology; on a touch screen, tap it. A word underlined with dots carries a qere, and the card gives the form to be read.
