Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;
| שגיון לדוד אשר שר ליהוה על דברי כוש בן ימיני יהוה אלהי בך חסיתי הושיעני מכל רדפי והצילני׃ |
2 So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.
| פן יטרף כאריה נפשי פרק ואין מציל׃ |
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;
| יהוה אלהי אם עשיתי זאת אם יש עול בכפי׃ |
4 If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;
| אם גמלתי שולמי רע ואחלצה צוררי ריקם׃ |
5 Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah)
| ירדף אויב נפשי וישג וירמס לארץ חיי וכבודי לעפר ישכן סלה׃ |
6 Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.
| קומה יהוה באפך הנשא בעברות צוררי ועורה אלי משפט צוית׃ |
7 The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.
| ועדת לאמים תסובבך ועליה למרום שובה׃ |
8 The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.
| יהוה ידין עמים שפטני יהוה כצדקי וכתמי עלי׃ |
9 O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.
| יגמר נא רע רשעים ותכונן צדיק ובחן לבות וכליות אלהים צדיק׃ |
10 God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.
| מגני על אלהים מושיע ישרי לב׃ |
11 God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.
| אלהים שופט צדיק ואל זעם בכל יום׃ |
12 If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.
| אם לא ישוב חרבו ילטוש קשתו דרך ויכוננה׃ |
13 He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.
| ולו הכין כלי מות חציו לדלקים יפעל׃ |
14 That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.
| הנה יחבל און והרה עמל וילד שקר׃ |
15 He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made
| בור כרה ויחפרהו ויפל בשחת יפעל׃ |
16 His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.
| ישוב עמלו בראשו ועל קדקדו חמסו ירד׃ |
17 I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.
| אודה יהוה כצדקו ואזמרה שם יהוה עליון׃ |
