Psalms 31
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּךָֽ־יְהוָה חָסִיתִי אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ פַלְּטֵֽנִי׃ |
2 Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
| הַטֵּה אֵלַי ׀ אָזְנְךָ מְהֵרָה הַצִּילֵנִי הֱיֵה לִי ׀ לְֽצוּר־מָעוֹז לְבֵית מְצוּדוֹת לְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ |
3 For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me.
| כִּֽי־סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אָתָּה וּלְמַעַן שִׁמְךָ תַּֽנְחֵנִי וּֽתְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃ |
4 Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.
| תּוֹצִיאֵנִי מֵרֶשֶׁת זוּ טָמְנוּ לִי כִּֽי־אַתָּה מָֽעוּזִּֽי׃ |
5 Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
| בְּיָדְךָ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי פָּדִיתָה אוֹתִי יְהוָה אֵל אֱמֶֽת׃ |
6 Thou has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
| שָׂנֵאתִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַבְלֵי־שָׁוְא וַאֲנִי אֶל־יְהוָה בָּטָֽחְתִּי׃ |
7 I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.
| אָגִילָה וְאֶשְׂמְחָה בְּחַסְדֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתָ אֶת־עָנְיִי יָדַעְתָּ בְּצָרוֹת נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
8 And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
| וְלֹא הִסְגַּרְתַּנִי בְּיַד־אוֹיֵב הֶֽעֱמַדְתָּ בַמֶּרְחָב רַגְלָֽי׃ |
9 Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
| חָנֵּנִי יְהוָה כִּי צַר־לִי עָשְׁשָׁה בְכַעַס עֵינִי נַפְשִׁי וּבִטְנִֽי׃ |
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
| כִּי כָלוּ בְיָגוֹן חַיַּי וּשְׁנוֹתַי בַּאֲנָחָה כָּשַׁל בַּעֲוֺנִי כֹחִי וַעֲצָמַי עָשֵֽׁשׁוּ׃ |
11 I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
| מִכָּל־צֹרְרַי הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה וְלִשֲׁכֵנַי ׀ מְאֹד וּפַחַד לִֽמְיֻדָּעָי רֹאַי בַּחוּץ נָדְדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
| נִשְׁכַּחְתִּי כְּמֵת מִלֵּב הָיִיתִי כִּכְלִי אֹבֵֽד׃ |
13 For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
| כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי ׀ דִּבַּת רַבִּים מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב בְּהִוָּסְדָם יַחַד עָלַי לָקַחַת נַפְשִׁי זָמָֽמוּ׃ |
14 But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ עָלֶיךָ בָטַחְתִּי יְהוָה אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהַי אָֽתָּה׃ |
15 My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
| בְּיָדְךָ עִתֹּתָי הַצִּילֵנִי מִיַּד־אוֹיְבַי וּמֵרֹדְפָֽי׃ |
16 and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.
| הָאִירָה פָנֶיךָ עַל־עַבְדֶּךָ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי בְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃ |
17 O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
| יְֽהוָה אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה כִּי קְרָאתִיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ רְשָׁעִים יִדְּמוּ לִשְׁאֽוֹל׃ (Sheol h7585) |
18 Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
| תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי שָׁקֶר הַדֹּבְרוֹת עַל־צַדִּיק עָתָק בְּגַאֲוָה וָבֽוּז׃ |
19 How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought [it] out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.
| מָה רַֽב־טוּבְךָ אֲשֶׁר־צָפַנְתָּ לִּֽירֵאֶיךָ פָּעַלְתָּ לַחֹסִים בָּךְ נֶגֶד בְּנֵי אָדָם׃ |
20 Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
| תַּסְתִּירֵם ׀ בְּסֵתֶר פָּנֶיךָ מֵֽרֻכְסֵי אִישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵם בְּסֻכָּה מֵרִיב לְשֹׁנֽוֹת׃ |
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
| בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה כִּי הִפְלִיא חַסְדּוֹ לִי בְּעִיר מָצֽוֹר׃ |
22 But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי נִגְרַזְתִּי מִנֶּגֶד עֵינֶיךָ אָכֵן שָׁמַעְתָּ קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶֽיךָ׃ |
23 Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
| אֽ͏ֶהֱבוּ אֶת־יְהוָה כָּֽל־חֲסִידָיו אֱמוּנִים נֹצֵר יְהוָה וּמְשַׁלֵּם עַל־יֶתֶר עֹשֵׂה גַאֲוָֽה׃ |
24 Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
| חִזְקוּ וְיַאֲמֵץ לְבַבְכֶם כָּל־הַמְיַחֲלִים לַיהוָֽה׃ |
