Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
| שִׁגָּיוֹן לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁר לַיהוָה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כוּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ חָסִיתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִכָּל־רֹדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ |
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
| פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
| יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ |
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
| אִם־גָּמַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צוֹרְרִי רֵיקָֽם׃ |
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. (Selah)
| יִֽרַדֹּף אוֹיֵב ׀ נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבוֹדִי ׀ לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶֽלָה׃ |
6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
| קוּמָה יְהוָה ׀ בְּאַפֶּךָ הִנָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרוֹת צוֹרְרָי וְעוּרָה אֵלַי מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ |
7 So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
| וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים תְּסוֹבְבֶךָּ וְעָלֶיהָ לַמָּרוֹם שֽׁוּבָה׃ |
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity [that is] in me.
| יְהוָה יָדִין עַמִּים שָׁפְטֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָֽי׃ |
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
| יִגְמָר־נָא רַע ׀ רְשָׁעִים וּתְכוֹנֵן צַדִּיק וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת וּכְלָיוֹת אֱלֹהִים צַדּֽ͏ִיק׃ |
10 My defense [is] from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
| מָֽגִנִּי עַל־אֱלֹהִים מוֹשִׁיעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
| אֱלֹהִים שׁוֹפֵט צַדִּיק וְאֵל זֹעֵם בְּכָל־יֽוֹם׃ |
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
| אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּב חַרְבּוֹ יִלְטוֹשׁ קַשְׁתּוֹ דָרַךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ |
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
| וְלוֹ הֵכִין כְּלֵי־מָוֶת חִצָּיו לְֽדֹלְקִים יִפְעָֽל׃ |
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
| הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל־אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ |
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
| בּוֹר כָּרָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָֽל׃ |
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
| יָשׁוּב עֲמָלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ וְעַל קָדְקֳדוֹ חֲמָסוֹ יֵרֵֽד׃ |
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
| אוֹדֶה יְהוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵֽׁם־יְהוָה עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ |
