Psalms 109
1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃ |
2 For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,
| כִּי פִי רָשָׁע וּֽפִי־מִרְמָה עָלַי פָּתָחוּ דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי לְשׁוֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃ |
3 And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.
| וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּֽם׃ |
4 For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.
| תַּֽחַת־אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּֽה׃ |
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
| וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה וְשִׂנְאָה תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃ |
6 Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;
| הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע וְשָׂטָן יַעֲמֹד עַל־יְמִינֽוֹ׃ |
7 When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;
| בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ יֵצֵא רָשָׁע וּתְפִלָּתוֹ תִּֽהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָֽה׃ |
8 Let his days be few, let another take his office;
| יִֽהְיוּ־יָמָיו מְעַטִּים פְּקֻדָּתוֹ יִקַּח אַחֵֽר׃ |
9 Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;
| יִֽהְיוּ־בָנָיו יְתוֹמִים וְאִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃ |
10 Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;
| וְנוֹעַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ וְדָרְשׁוּ מֵחׇרְבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ |
11 Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;
| יְנַקֵּשׁ נוֹשֶׁה לְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃ |
12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;
| אַל־יְהִי־לוֹ מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד וְֽאַל־יְהִי חוֹנֵן לִֽיתוֹמָֽיו׃ |
13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
| יְהִֽי־אַחֲרִיתוֹ לְהַכְרִית בְּדוֹר אַחֵר יִמַּח שְׁמָֽם׃ |
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;
| יִזָּכֵר ׀ עֲוֺן אֲבֹתָיו אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְחַטַּאת אִמּוֹ אַל־תִּמָּֽח׃ |
15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:
| יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד־יְהֹוָה תָּמִיד וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ |
16 Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.
| יַעַן אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא זָכַר עֲשׂוֹת חָסֶד וַיִּרְדֹּף אִישׁ־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב לְמוֹתֵֽת׃ |
17 And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.
| וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ וְֽלֹא־חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ |
18 And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;
| וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה כְּמַדּוֹ וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃ |
19 Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.
| תְּהִי־לוֹ כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה וּלְמֵזַח תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃ |
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
| זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת שֹׂטְנַי מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע עַל־נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
21 But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:
| וְאַתָּה ׀ יֱהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֲֽשֵׂה־אִתִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ |
22 For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
| כִּי־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָנֹכִי וְלִבִּי חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃ |
23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;
| כְּצֵל־כִּנְטוֹתוֹ נֶהֱלָכְתִּי נִנְעַרְתִּי כָּאַרְבֶּֽה׃ |
24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;
| בִּרְכַּי כָּשְׁלוּ מִצּוֹם וּבְשָׂרִי כָּחַשׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃ |
25 And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.
| וַאֲנִי ׀ הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם יִרְאוּנִי יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃ |
26 Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:
| עׇזְרֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃ |
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.
| וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָדְךָ זֹּאת אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃ |
28 Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.
| יְקַֽלְלוּ־הֵמָּה וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ קָמוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ וְֽעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָֽח׃ |
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.
| יִלְבְּשׁוּ שׂוֹטְנַי כְּלִמָּה וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בׇּשְׁתָּֽם׃ |
30 I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
| אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי וּבְתוֹךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶֽנּוּ׃ |
31 For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
| כִּֽי־יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיוֹן לְהוֹשִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ |
