< Psalms 31 >

1 In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּךָֽ־יְהֹוָה חָסִיתִי אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ פַלְּטֵֽנִי׃
2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
הַטֵּה אֵלַי ׀ אׇזְנְךָ מְהֵרָה הַצִּילֵנִי הֱיֵה לִי ׀ לְֽצוּר־מָעוֹז לְבֵית מְצוּדוֹת לְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃
3 For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake lead me, and guide me.
כִּֽי־סַלְעִי וּמְצֽוּדָתִי אָתָּה וּלְמַעַן שִׁמְךָ תַּֽנְחֵנִי וּֽתְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privately for me: for you are my strength.
תּוֹצִיאֵנִי מֵרֶשֶׁת זוּ טָמְנוּ לִי כִּי־אַתָּה מָעוּזִּֽי׃
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
בְּיָדְךָ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי פָּדִיתָ אוֹתִי יְהֹוָה אֵל אֱמֶֽת׃
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
שָׂנֵאתִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַבְלֵי־שָׁוְא וַאֲנִי אֶל־יְהֹוָה בָּטָֽחְתִּי׃
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;
אָגִילָה וְאֶשְׂמְחָה בְּחַסְדֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתָ אֶת־עׇנְיִי יָדַעְתָּ בְּצָרוֹת נַפְשִֽׁי׃
8 And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a large room.
וְלֹא הִסְגַּרְתַּנִי בְּיַד־אוֹיֵב הֶעֱמַדְתָּ בַמֶּרְחָב רַגְלָֽי׃
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
חׇנֵּנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי צַר ־ לִי עָשְׁשָׁה בְכַעַס עֵינִי נַפְשִׁי וּבִטְנִֽי׃
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
כִּי כָלוּ בְיָגוֹן חַיַּי וּשְׁנוֹתַי בַּאֲנָחָה כָּשַׁל בַּעֲוֺנִי כֹחִי וַעֲצָמַי עָשֵֽׁשׁוּ׃
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
מִכׇּל־צֹרְרַי הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה וְלִשְׁכֵנַי ׀ מְאֹד וּפַחַד לִֽמְיֻדָּעָי רֹאַי בַּחוּץ נָדְדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
נִשְׁכַּחְתִּי כְּמֵת מִלֵּב הָיִיתִי כִּכְלִי אֹבֵֽד׃
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי ׀ דִּבַּת רַבִּים מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב בְּהִוָּסְדָם יַחַד עָלַי לָקַחַת נַפְשִׁי זָמָֽמוּ׃
14 But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, You are my God.
וַאֲנִי ׀ עָלֶיךָ בָטַחְתִּי יְהֹוָה אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהַי אָֽתָּה׃
15 My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
בְּיָדְךָ עִתֹּתָי הַצִּילֵנִי מִיַּד־אוֹיְבַי וּמֵֽרֹדְפָֽי׃
16 Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
הָאִירָה פָנֶיךָ עַל־עַבְדֶּךָ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי בְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
יְֽהֹוָה אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה כִּי קְרָאתִיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ רְשָׁעִים יִדְּמוּ לִשְׁאֽוֹל׃ (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי ־ שָׁקֶר הַדֹּבְרוֹת עַל־צַדִּיק עָתָק בְּגַאֲוָה וָבֽוּז׃
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
מָה רַֽב־טוּבְךָ אֲשֶׁר־צָפַנְתָּ לִּירֵאֶיךָ פָּעַלְתָּ לַחֹסִים בָּךְ נֶגֶד בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
20 You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
תַּסְתִּירֵם ׀ בְּסֵתֶר פָּנֶיךָ מֵרֻכְסֵי ־ אִישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵם בְּסֻכָּה מֵרִיב לְשֹׁנֽוֹת׃
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה כִּי הִפְלִיא חַסְדּוֹ לִי בְּעִיר מָצֽוֹר׃
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
וַאֲנִי ׀ אָמַרְתִּי בְחׇפְזִי נִגְרַזְתִּי מִנֶּגֶד עֵינֶיךָ אָכֵן שָׁמַעְתָּ קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
23 O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD perserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.
אֶהֱבוּ אֶֽת־יְהֹוָה כׇּֽל־חֲסִידָיו אֱמוּנִים נֹצֵר יְהֹוָה וּמְשַׁלֵּם עַל־יֶתֶר עֹשֵׂה גַאֲוָֽה׃
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD.
חִזְקוּ וְיַאֲמֵץ לְבַבְכֶם כׇּל־הַמְיַחֲלִים לַֽיהֹוָֽה׃
