Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
| תְּפִלָּ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד שִׁמְעָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ צֶ֗דֶק הַקְשִׁ֥יבָה רִנָּתִ֗י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה תְפִלָּתִ֑י בְּ֝לֹ֗א שִׂפְתֵ֥י מִרְמָֽה׃ |
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
| מִ֭לְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י יֵצֵ֑א עֵ֝ינֶ֗יךָ תֶּחֱזֶ֥ינָה מֵישָׁרִֽים׃ |
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
| בָּ֘חַ֤נְתָּ לִבִּ֨י ׀ פָּ֘קַ֤דְתָּ לַּ֗יְלָה צְרַפְתַּ֥נִי בַל־תִּמְצָ֑א זַ֝מֹּתִ֗י בַּל־יַעֲבָר־פִּֽי׃ |
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
| לִפְעֻלֹּ֣ות אָ֭דָם בִּדְבַ֣ר שְׂפָתֶ֑יךָ אֲנִ֥י שָׁ֝מַ֗רְתִּי אָרְחֹ֥ות פָּרִֽיץ׃ |
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
| תָּמֹ֣ךְ אֲ֭שֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלֹותֶ֑יךָ בַּל־נָמֹ֥וטּוּ פְעָמָֽי׃ |
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
| אֲנִֽי־קְרָאתִ֣יךָ כִֽי־תַעֲנֵ֣נִי אֵ֑ל הַֽט־אָזְנְךָ֥ לִ֝֗י שְׁמַ֣ע אִמְרָתִֽי׃ |
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
| הַפְלֵ֣ה חֲ֭סָדֶיךָ מֹושִׁ֣יעַ חֹוסִ֑ים מִ֝מִּתְקֹומְמִ֗ים בִּֽימִינֶֽךָ׃ |
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
| שָׁ֭מְרֵנִי כְּאִישֹׁ֣ון בַּת־עָ֑יִן בְּצֵ֥ל כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִי׃ |
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
| מִפְּנֵ֣י רְ֭שָׁעִים ז֣וּ שַׁדּ֑וּנִי אֹיְבַ֥י בְּ֝נֶ֗פֶשׁ יַקִּ֥יפוּ עָלָֽי׃ |
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
| חֶלְבָּ֥מֹו סָּגְר֑וּ פִּ֝֗ימֹו דִּבְּר֥וּ בְגֵאֽוּת׃ |
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
| אַ֭שֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּ֣ה סְבָבוּנִי (סְבָב֑וּנוּ) עֵינֵיהֶ֥ם יָ֝שִׁ֗יתוּ לִנְטֹ֥ות בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ |
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
| דִּמְיֹנֹ֗ו כְּ֭אַרְיֵה יִכְסֹ֣וף לִטְרֹ֑וף וְ֝כִכְפִ֗יר יֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּמִסְתָּרֽ͏ִים׃ |
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
| קוּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה קַדְּמָ֣ה פָ֭נָיו הַכְרִיעֵ֑הוּ פַּלְּטָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י מֵרָשָׁ֥ע חַרְבֶּֽךָ׃ |
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
| מִֽמְתִ֥ים יָדְךָ֨ ׀ יְהוָ֡ה מִֽמְתִ֬ים מֵחֶ֗לֶד חֶלְקָ֥ם בַּֽחַיִּים֮ וּצְפִינְךָ (וּֽצְפוּנְךָ֮) תְּמַלֵּ֪א בִ֫טְנָ֥ם יִשְׂבְּע֥וּ בָנִ֑ים וְהִנִּ֥יחוּ יִ֝תְרָ֗ם לְעֹולְלֵיהֽ͏ֶם׃ |
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
| אֲנִ֗י בְּ֭צֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶ֣ה פָנֶ֑יךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָ֥ה בְ֝הָקִ֗יץ תְּמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃ |
