Kings II 22
1 And David spoke to the Lord the words of this song, in the day in which the Lord rescued him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
| וַיְדַבֵּר דָּוִד לַיהֹוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיוֹם הִצִּיל יְהֹוָה אֹתוֹ מִכַּף כׇּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִכַּף שָׁאֽוּל׃ |
2 And the song was thus: O Lord, my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer,
| וַיֹּאמַר יְהֹוָה סַֽלְעִי וּמְצֻדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי־לִֽי׃ |
3 my God; he shall be to me my guard, I will trust in him: [he is] my protector, and the horn of my salvation, my helper, and my sure refuge; you shall save me from the unjust man.
| אֱלֹהֵי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בּוֹ מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי מֹשִׁעִי מֵחָמָס תֹּשִׁעֵֽנִי׃ |
4 I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised, and I shall be saved from my enemies.
| מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וּמֵאֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ |
5 For the troubles of death compassed me, the floods of iniquity amazed me:
| כִּי אֲפָפֻנִי מִשְׁבְּרֵי־מָוֶת נַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתֻֽנִי׃ |
| חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סַבֻּנִי קִדְּמֻנִי מֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) |
7 When I am afflicted I will call upon the Lord, and will cry to my God, and he shall hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come into his ears.
| בַּצַּר־לִי אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵֽיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאׇזְנָֽיו׃ |
8 And the earth was troubled and quaked, and the foundations of heaven were confounded and torn asunder, because the Lord was angry with them.
| (ותגעש) [וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ] וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ מוֹסְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּֽתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּי־חָרָה לֽוֹ׃ |
9 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire out of his mouth devours: coals were kindled at it.
| עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ |
10 And he bowed the heavens, and came down, and [there was] darkness under his feet.
| וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ |
11 And he rode upon the cherubs and did fly, and was seen upon the wings of the wind.
| וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּרָא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ |
12 And he made darkness his hiding-place; his tabernacle round about him was the darkness of waters, he condensed it with the clouds of the air.
| וַיָּשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ סְבִיבֹתָיו סֻכּוֹת חַֽשְׁרַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִֽים׃ |
13 At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
| מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדּוֹ בָּעֲרוּ גַּחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ |
14 The Lord thundered out of heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
| יַרְעֵם מִן־שָׁמַיִם יְהֹוָה וְעֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּן קוֹלֽוֹ׃ |
15 And he sent forth arrows, and scattered them, and he flashed lightning, and dismayed them.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצִּים וַיְפִיצֵם בָּרָק (ויהמם) [וַיָּהֹֽם]׃ |
16 And the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his anger.
| וַיֵּֽרָאוּ אֲפִקֵי יָם יִגָּלוּ מֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל בְּגַעֲרַת יְהֹוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפּֽוֹ׃ |
17 He sent from above and took me; he drew me out of many waters.
| יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵנִי יַֽמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּֽים׃ |
18 He delivered me from my strong enemies, from them that hated me, for they were stronger than I.
| יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז מִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
19 The days of my affliction prevented me; but the Lord was my stay.
| יְקַדְּמֻנִי בְּיוֹם אֵידִי וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה מִשְׁעָן לִֽי׃ |
20 And he brought me into a wide place, and rescued me, because he delighted in me.
| וַיֹּצֵא לַמֶּרְחָב אֹתִי יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי־חָפֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ |
21 And the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me.
| יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִֽי׃ |
22 Because, I kept the ways of the Lord, and did not wickedly depart from my God.
| כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ |
23 For all his judgments and his ordinances [were] before me: I departed not from them.
| כִּי כׇל־מִשְׁפָּטָו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסוּר מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ |
24 And I shall be blameless before him, and will keep myself from my iniquity.
| וָאֶהְיֶה תָמִים לוֹ וָאֶשְׁתַּמְּרָה מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃ |
25 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands in his eye-sight.
| וַיָּשֶׁב יְהֹוָה לִי כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹרִי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ |
26 With the holy you will be holy, and with the perfect man you will be perfect,
| עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גִּבּוֹר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ |
27 and with the excellent you will be excellent, and with the froward you will be froward.
| עִם־נָבָר תִּתָּבָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתַּפָּֽל׃ |
28 And you will save the poor people, and will bring down the eyes of the haughty.
| וְאֶת־עַם עָנִי תּוֹשִׁיעַ וְעֵינֶיךָ עַל־רָמִים תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃ |
29 For you, Lord, [are] my lamp, and the Lord shall shine forth to me in my darkness.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה נֵירִי יְהֹוָה וַיהֹוָה יַגִּיהַּ חׇשְׁכִּֽי׃ |
30 For by you shall I run [as] a girded man, and by my God shall I leap over a wall.
| כִּי בְכָה אָרוּץ גְּדוּד בֵּאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ |
31 As for the Mighty One, his way [is] blameless: the word of the Lord [is] strong [and] tried in the fire: he is a protector to all that put their trust in him.
| הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל הַֽחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ |
32 Who [is] strong, but the Lord? and who will be a Creator except our God?
| כִּי מִי־אֵל מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהֹוָה וּמִי צוּר מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
33 [It is] the Mighty One who strengthens me with might, and has prepared my way without fault.
| הָאֵל מָֽעוּזִּי חָיִל וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים (דרכו) [דַּרְכִּֽי]׃ |
34 He makes my feet like hart's feet, and sets me upon the high places.
| מְשַׁוֶּה (רגליו) [רַגְלַי] כָּאַיָּלוֹת וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִדֵֽנִי׃ |
35 He teaches my hands to war, and has broken a brazen bow by my arm.
| מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחַת קֶשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹעֹתָֽי׃ |
36 And you have given me the shield of my salvation, and your propitious dealing has increased me,
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וַעֲנֹתְךָ תַּרְבֵּֽנִי׃ |
37 so as to make room under me for my going, and my legs did not totter.
| תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַּחְתֵּנִי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ |
38 I will pursue my enemies, and will utterly destroy them; and I will not turn again till I have consumed them.
| אֶרְדְּפָה אֹיְבַי וָאַשְׁמִידֵם וְלֹא אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ |
39 And I will crush them, and they shall not rise; and they shall fall under my feet.
| וָאֲכַלֵּם וָאֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא יְקוּמוּן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָֽי׃ |
40 And you shall strengthen me with power for the war; you shall cause them that rise up against me to bow down under me.
| וַתַּזְרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ |
41 And you have caused mine enemies to flee before me, even them that hated me, and you have slain them.
| וְאֹיְבַי תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף מְשַׂנְאַי וָאַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ |
42 They shall cry, and there shall be no helper; to the Lord, but he hearkens not to them.
| יִשְׁעוּ וְאֵין מֹשִׁיעַ אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא עָנָֽם׃ |
43 And I ground them as the dust of the earth, I beat them small as the mire of the streets.
| וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כַּעֲפַר־אָרֶץ כְּטִיט־חוּצוֹת אֲדִקֵּם אֶרְקָעֵֽם׃ |
44 And you shall deliver me from the striving of the peoples, you shall keep me [to be] the head of the Gentiles: a people which I knew not served me.
| וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻֽנִי׃ |
45 The strange children feigned [obedience] to me; they listened to me as soon as they heard.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִתְכַּחֲשׁוּ־לִי לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִֽי׃ |
46 The strange children shall be cast away, and shall be overthrown out of their hiding places.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְגְּרוּ מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָֽם׃ |
47 The Lord lives, and blessed [be] my guardian, and my God, my strong keeper, shall be exalted.
| חַי־יְהֹוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר יִשְׁעִֽי׃ |
48 The Lord who avenges me [is] strong, chastening the nations under me,
| הָאֵל הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי וּמֹרִיד עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ |
49 and bringing me out from my enemies: and you shall set me on high from among those that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the violent man.
| וּמוֹצִיאִי מֵאֹֽיְבָי וּמִקָּמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ |
50 Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
| עַל־כֵּן אֽוֹדְךָ יְהֹוָה בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּֽר׃ |
51 He magnifies the salvation of his king, and works mercy for his anointed, even for David and for his seed for ever.
| (מגדיל) [מִגְדּוֹל] יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹֽשֶׂה־חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ |
