Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
| שִׁגָּיוֹן לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁר לַֽיהֹוָה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כוּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ חָסִיתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִכׇּל־רֹדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ |
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
| פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
3 Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
| יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ |
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
| אִם־גָּמַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צֽוֹרְרִי רֵיקָֽם׃ |
5 Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
| יִרַדֹּֽף־אוֹיֵב ׀ נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבוֹדִי ׀ לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶֽלָה׃ |
6 Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
| קוּמָה יְהֹוָה ׀ בְּאַפֶּךָ הִנָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרוֹת צוֹרְרָי וְעוּרָה אֵלַי מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ |
7 And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
| וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים תְּסֽוֹבְבֶךָּ וְעָלֶיהָ לַמָּרוֹם שֽׁוּבָה׃ |
8 Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
| יְהֹוָה יָדִין עַמִּים שׇׁפְטֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָֽי׃ |
9 Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
| יִגְמׇר־נָא רַע ׀ רְשָׁעִים וּתְכוֹנֵן צַדִּיק וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת וּכְלָיוֹת אֱלֹהִים צַדִּֽיק׃ |
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
| מָגִנִּי עַל־אֱלֹהִים מוֹשִׁיעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
| אֱלֹהִים שׁוֹפֵט צַדִּיק וְאֵל זֹעֵם בְּכׇל־יֽוֹם׃ |
12 If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
| אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּב חַרְבּוֹ יִלְטוֹשׁ קַשְׁתּוֹ דָרַךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ |
13 And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
| וְלוֹ הֵכִין כְּלֵי־מָוֶת חִצָּיו לְֽדֹלְקִים יִפְעָֽל׃ |
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
| הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל־אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ |
15 He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
| בּוֹר כָּרָה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָֽל׃ |
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
| יָשׁוּב עֲמָלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ וְעַל קׇדְקֳדוֹ חֲמָסוֹ יֵרֵֽד׃ |
17 I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
| אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ |
