א שִׁיר, הַמַּעֲלוֹת:
אֶל-יְהוָה, בַּצָּרָתָה לִּי– קָרָאתִי, וַיַּעֲנֵנִי. |
1 A Song of Ascents. {N}
In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me. |
| ב יְהוָה–הַצִּילָה נַפְשִׁי, מִשְּׂפַת-שֶׁקֶר: מִלָּשׁוֹן רְמִיָּה. |
2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. |
| ג מַה-יִּתֵּן לְךָ, וּמַה-יֹּסִיף לָךְ– לָשׁוֹן רְמִיָּה. |
3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue? |
| ד חִצֵּי גִבּוֹר שְׁנוּנִים; עִם, גַּחֲלֵי רְתָמִים. |
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom. |
| ה אוֹיָה-לִי, כִּי-גַרְתִּי מֶשֶׁךְ; שָׁכַנְתִּי, עִם-אָהֳלֵי קֵדָר. |
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar! |
| ו רַבַּת, שָׁכְנָה-לָּהּ נַפְשִׁי– עִם, שׂוֹנֵא שָׁלוֹם. |
6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace. |
| ז אֲנִי-שָׁלוֹם, וְכִי אֲדַבֵּר; הֵמָּה, לַמִּלְחָמָה. |
7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war. {P} |
