Psalms 109
1 Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;
| למנצח לדוד מזמור אלהי תהלתי אל-תחרש |
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
| כי פי רשע ופי-מרמה--עלי פתחו דברו אתי לשון שקר |
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
| ודברי שנאה סבבוני וילחמוני חנם |
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
| תחת-אהבתי ישטנוני ואני תפלה |
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
| וישימו עלי רעה תחת טובה ושנאה תחת אהבתי |
6 Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
| הפקד עליו רשע ושטן יעמד על-ימינו |
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
| בהשפטו יצא רשע ותפלתו תהיה לחטאה |
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
| יהיו-ימיו מעטים פקדתו יקח אחר |
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
| יהיו-בניו יתומים ואשתו אלמנה |
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
| ונוע ינועו בניו ושאלו ודרשו מחרבותיהם |
11 Let the extortionist catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
| ינקש נושה לכל-אשר-לו ויבזו זרים יגיעו |
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
| אל-יהי-לו משך חסד ואל-יהי חונן ליתומיו |
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
| יהי-אחריתו להכרית בדור אחר ימח שמם |
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
| יזכר עון אבתיו--אל-יהוה וחטאת אמו אל-תמח |
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
| יהיו נגד-יהוה תמיד ויכרת מארץ זכרם |
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
| יען-- אשר לא זכר עשות חסד וירדף איש-עני ואביון--ונכאה לבב למותת |
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
| ויאהב קללה ותבואהו ולא-חפץ בברכה ותרחק ממנו |
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
| וילבש קללה כמדו ותבא כמים בקרבו וכשמן בעצמותיו |
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
| תהי-לו כבגד יעטה ולמזח תמיד יחגרה |
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
| זאת פעלת שטני מאת יהוה והדברים רע על-נפשי |
21 But do you for me, O GOD the Lord, for your name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver you me.
| ואתה יהוה אדני-- עשה-אתי למען שמך כי-טוב חסדך הצילני |
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
| כי-עני ואביון אנכי ולבי חלל בקרבי |
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
| כצל-כנטותו נהלכתי ננערתי כארבה |
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh fails of fatness.
| ברכי כשלו מצום ובשרי כחש משמן |
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.
| ואני הייתי חרפה להם יראוני יניעון ראשם |
26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy:
| עזרני יהוה אלהי הושיעני כחסדך |
27 That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
| וידעו כי-ידך זאת אתה יהוה עשיתה |
28 Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.
| יקללו-המה ואתה תברך קמו ויבשו--ועבדך ישמח |
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
| ילבשו שוטני כלמה ויעטו כמעיל בשתם |
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
| אודה יהוה מאד בפי ובתוך רבים אהללנו |
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
| כי-יעמד לימין אביון-- להושיע משפטי נפשו |
