א לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל-תַּשְׁחֵת, לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם: בִּשְׁלֹחַ שָׁאוּל;
וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת, לַהֲמִיתוֹ. |
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, {N}
and they watched the house to kill him. |
| ב הַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבַי אֱלֹהָי; מִמִּתְקוֹמְמַי תְּשַׂגְּבֵנִי. |
2 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me. |
| ג הַצִּילֵנִי, מִפֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן; וּמֵאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים, הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי. |
3 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood. |
ד כִּי הִנֵּה אָרְבוּ, לְנַפְשִׁי– יָגוּרוּ עָלַי עַזִּים;
לֹא-פִשְׁעִי וְלֹא-חַטָּאתִי יְהוָה. |
4 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; {N}
not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. |
| ה בְּלִי-עָוֺן, יְרֻצוּן וְיִכּוֹנָנוּ; עוּרָה לִקְרָאתִי וּרְאֵה. |
5 Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold. |
ו וְאַתָּה יְהוָה-אֱלֹהִים צְבָאוֹת, אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל– הָקִיצָה, לִפְקֹד כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם;
אַל-תָּחֹן כָּל-בֹּגְדֵי אָוֶן סֶלָה. |
6 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; {N}
show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. Selah |
| ז יָשׁוּבוּ לָעֶרֶב, יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב; וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִיר. |
7 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city. |
| ח הִנֵּה, יַבִּיעוּן בְּפִיהֶם–חֲרָבוֹת, בְּשִׂפְתוֹתֵיהֶם: כִּי-מִי שֹׁמֵעַ. |
8 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: ‘For who doth hear?’ |
| ט וְאַתָּה יְהוָה, תִּשְׂחַק-לָמוֹ; תִּלְעַג, לְכָל-גּוֹיִם. |
9 But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision. |
| י עֻזּוֹ, אֵלֶיךָ אֶשְׁמֹרָה: כִּי-אֱלֹהִים, מִשְׂגַּבִּי. |
10 Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower. |
| יא אֱלֹהֵי חסדו (חַסְדִּי) יְקַדְּמֵנִי; אֱלֹהִים, יַרְאֵנִי בְשֹׁרְרָי. |
11 The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries. |
| יב אַל-תַּהַרְגֵם, פֶּן יִשְׁכְּחוּ עַמִּי–הֲנִיעֵמוֹ בְחֵילְךָ, וְהוֹרִידֵמוֹ: מָגִנֵּנוּ אֲדֹנָי. |
12 Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. |
יג חַטַּאת-פִּימוֹ, דְּבַר-שְׂפָתֵימוֹ:
וְיִלָּכְדוּ בִגְאוֹנָם; וּמֵאָלָה וּמִכַּחַשׁ יְסַפֵּרוּ. |
13 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, {N}
let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak. |
יד כַּלֵּה בְחֵמָה, כַּלֵּה וְאֵינֵמוֹ:
וְיֵדְעוּ–כִּי-אֱלֹהִים, מֹשֵׁל בְּיַעֲקֹב; לְאַפְסֵי הָאָרֶץ סֶלָה. |
14 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; {N}
and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah |
| טו וְיָשֻׁבוּ לָעֶרֶב, יֶהֱמוּ כַכָּלֶב; וִיסוֹבְבוּ עִיר. |
15 And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city; |
| טז הֵמָּה, ינועון (יְנִיעוּן) לֶאֱכֹל– אִם-לֹא יִשְׂבְּעוּ, וַיָּלִינוּ. |
16 They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill. |
יז וַאֲנִי, אָשִׁיר עֻזֶּךָ– וַאֲרַנֵּן לַבֹּקֶר, חַסְדֶּךָ:
כִּי-הָיִיתָ מִשְׂגָּב לִי; וּמָנוֹס, בְּיוֹם צַר-לִי. |
17 But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; {N}
for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress. |
| יח עֻזִּי, אֵלֶיךָ אֲזַמֵּרָה: כִּי-אֱלֹהִים מִשְׂגַּבִּי, אֱלֹהֵי חַסְדִּי. |
18 O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy. {P} |
