צִדְקָתְךָ֬ לֹא־כִסִּ֨יתִי בְּתֹ֬וךְ לִבִּ֗י אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ֣ אָמָ֑רְתִּי לֹא־כִחַ֥דְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ֥ וַ֝אֲמִתְּךָ֗ לְקָהָ֥ל רָֽב׃

Your righteousness I did not conceal within my heart; Your faithfulness and Your salvation I have spoken; I did not hide Your steadfast love and Your truth to a great assembly.
