Psalms 35
1 Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
| לְדָוִ֨ד ׀ רִיבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת־יְרִיבַ֑י לְ֝חַ֗ם אֶת־לֹֽחֲמָֽי׃ |
2 Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
| הַחֲזֵ֣ק מָגֵ֣ן וְצִנָּ֑ה וְ֝ק֗וּמָה בְּעֶזְרָתִֽי׃ |
3 And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.
| וְהָ֘רֵ֤ק חֲנִ֣ית וּ֭סְגֹר לִקְרַ֣את רֹדְפָ֑י אֱמֹ֥ר לְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יְֽשֻׁעָתֵ֥ךְ אָֽנִי׃ |
4 May they be ashamed and they may be humiliated [those who] seek life my may they be turned back backwards and may they be abashed [those who] plot harm my.
| יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ וְיִכָּלְמוּ֮ מְבַקְשֵׁ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יִסֹּ֣גוּ אָחֹ֣ור וְיַחְפְּר֑וּ חֹ֝שְׁבֵ֗י רָעָתִֽי׃ |
5 May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
| יִֽהְי֗וּ כְּמֹ֥ץ לִפְנֵי־ר֑וּחַ וּמַלְאַ֖ךְ יְהוָ֣ה דֹּוחֶֽה׃ |
6 May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
| יְֽהִי־דַרְכָּ֗ם חֹ֥שֶׁךְ וַחֲלַקְלַקֹּ֑ות וּמַלְאַ֥ךְ יְ֝הוָ֗ה רֹדְפָֽם׃ |
7 For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
| כִּֽי־חִנָּ֣ם טָֽמְנוּ־לִ֭י שַׁ֣חַת רִשְׁתָּ֑ם חִ֝נָּ֗ם חָפְר֥וּ לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
8 May it come to him destruction [which] not he knows and net his which he hid may it catch him in destruction may he fall in it.
| תְּבֹואֵ֣הוּ שֹׁואָה֮ לֹֽא־יֵ֫דָ֥ע וְרִשְׁתֹּ֣ו אֲשֶׁר־טָמַ֣ן תִּלְכְּדֹ֑ו בְּ֝שֹׁואָ֗ה יִפָּל־בָּֽהּ׃ |
9 And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
| וְ֭נַפְשִׁי תָּגִ֣יל בַּיהוָ֑ה תָּ֝שִׂישׂ בִּישׁוּעָתֹֽו׃ |
10 All bones my - they will say O Yahweh who? [is] like you [one who] delivers a poor [person] from a person [too] strong for him and [the] poor and [the] needy from [one who] robs him.
| כָּ֥ל עַצְמֹותַ֨י ׀ תֹּאמַרְנָה֮ יְהוָ֗ה מִ֥י כָ֫מֹ֥וךָ מַצִּ֣יל עָ֭נִי מֵחָזָ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְעָנִ֥י וְ֝אֶבְיֹ֗ון מִגֹּזְלֹֽו׃ |
11 They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
| יְ֭קוּמוּן עֵדֵ֣י חָמָ֑ס אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי יִשְׁאָלֽוּנִי׃ |
12 They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
| יְשַׁלְּמ֣וּנִי רָ֭עָה תַּ֥חַת טֹובָ֗ה שְׁכֹ֣ול לְנַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
13 And I - when were sick they clothing my [was] sackcloth I humbled with fasting self my and prayer my to bosom my it returned.
| וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ בַּחֲלֹותָ֡ם לְב֬וּשִׁי שָׂ֗ק עִנֵּ֣יתִי בַצֹּ֣ום נַפְשִׁ֑י וּ֝תְפִלָּתִ֗י עַל־חֵיקִ֥י תָשֽׁוּב׃ |
14 Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
| כְּרֵֽעַ־כְּאָ֣ח לִ֭י הִתְהַלָּ֑כְתִּי כַּאֲבֶל־אֵ֝֗ם קֹדֵ֥ר שַׁחֹֽותִי׃ |
15 And at stumbling my they rejoiced and they gathered they gathered on me smitten [people] and not I knew they tore and not they were still.
| וּבְצַלְעִי֮ שָׂמְח֪וּ וְֽנֶאֱ֫סָ֥פוּ נֶאֶסְפ֬וּ עָלַ֣י נֵ֭כִים וְלֹ֣א יָדַ֑עְתִּי קָֽרְע֥וּ וְלֹא־דָֽמּוּ׃ |
16 Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
| בְּ֭חַנְפֵי לַעֲגֵ֣י מָעֹ֑וג חָרֹ֖ק עָלַ֣י שִׁנֵּֽימֹו׃ |
17 O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
| אֲדֹנָי֮ כַּמָּ֪ה תִּ֫רְאֶ֥ה הָשִׁ֣יבָה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִשֹּׁאֵיהֶ֑ם מִ֝כְּפִירִ֗ים יְחִידָתִֽי׃ |
18 I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
| אֹ֭ודְךָ בְּקָהָ֣ל רָ֑ב בְּעַ֖ם עָצ֣וּם אֲהַֽלְלֶֽךָּ׃ |
19 May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
| אַֽל־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִ֣י אֹיְבַ֣י שֶׁ֑קֶר שֹׂנְאַ֥י חִ֝נָּ֗ם יִקְרְצוּ־עָֽיִן׃ |
20 For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
| כִּ֤י לֹ֥א שָׁלֹ֗ום יְדַ֫בֵּ֥רוּ וְעַ֥ל רִגְעֵי־אֶ֑רֶץ דִּבְרֵ֥י מִ֝רְמֹות יַחֲשֹׁבֽוּן׃ |
21 And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
| וַיַּרְחִ֥יבוּ עָלַ֗י פִּ֫יהֶ֥ם אָ֭מְרוּ הֶאָ֣ח ׀ הֶאָ֑ח רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֵֽינוּ׃ |
22 You have seen O Yahweh may not you be silent O Lord may not you be distant from me.
| רָאִ֣יתָה יְ֭הוָה אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַ֑שׁ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י אֲל־תִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ |
23 Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.
| הָעִ֣ירָה וְ֭הָקִיצָה לְמִשְׁפָּטִ֑י אֱלֹהַ֖י וַֽאדֹנָ֣י לְרִיבִֽי׃ |
24 Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.
| שָׁפְטֵ֣נִי כְ֭צִדְקְךָ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָ֗י וְאַל־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִֽי׃ |
25 May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.
| אַל־יֹאמְר֣וּ בְ֭לִבָּם הֶאָ֣ח נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ אַל־יֹ֝אמְר֗וּ בִּֽלַּעֲנֽוּהוּ׃ |
26 May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [the] [people] joyful of distress my may they be clothed shame and ignominy who magnify themselves on me.
| יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ וְיַחְפְּר֨וּ ׀ יַחְדָּו֮ שְׂמֵחֵ֪י רָעָ֫תִ֥י יִֽלְבְּשׁוּ־בֹ֥שֶׁת וּכְלִמָּ֑ה הַֽמַּגְדִּילִ֥ים עָלָֽי׃ |
27 May they shout for joy and they may rejoice [the] [people] desirous of righteousness my and may they say continually may he be great Yahweh desiring [the] welfare of servant his.
| יָרֹ֣נּוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ֮ חֲפֵצֵ֪י צִ֫דְקִ֥י וְיֹאמְר֣וּ תָ֭מִיד יִגְדַּ֣ל יְהוָ֑ה הֶ֝חָפֵ֗ץ שְׁלֹ֣ום עַבְדֹּֽו׃ |
28 And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
| וּ֭לְשֹׁונִי תֶּהְגֶּ֣ה צִדְקֶ֑ךָ כָּל־הַ֝יֹּום תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
