Psalms 7
1 A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite. LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
| שגיון לדוד אשר-שר ליהוה--על-דברי-כוש בן-ימיני ב יהוה אלהי בך חסיתי הושיעני מכל-רדפי והצילני |
2 lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
| פן-יטרף כאריה נפשי פרק ואין מציל |
3 LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
| יהוה אלהי אם-עשיתי זאת אם-יש-עול בכפי |
4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
| אם-גמלתי שולמי רע ואחלצה צוררי ריקם |
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
| ירדף אויב נפשי וישג--וירמס לארץ חיי וכבודי לעפר ישכן סלה |
6 Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
| קומה יהוה באפך--הנשא בעברות צוררי ועורה אלי משפט צוית |
7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
| ועדת לאמים תסובבך ועליה למרום שובה |
8 The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
| יהוה ידין עמים שפטני יהוה כצדקי וכתמי עלי |
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
| יגמר נא רע רשעים-- ותכונן צדיק ובחן לבות וכליות-- אלהים צדיק |
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
| מגני על-אלהים מושיע ישרי-לב |
11 God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
| אלהים שופט צדיק ואל זעם בכל-יום |
12 If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
| אם-לא ישוב חרבו ילטוש קשתו דרך ויכוננה |
13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
| ולו הכין כלי מות חציו לדלקים יפעל |
14 Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.
| הנה יחבל-און והרה עמל וילד שקר |
15 He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
| בור כרה ויחפרהו ויפל בשחת יפעל |
16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
| ישוב עמלו בראשו ועל קדקדו חמסו ירד |
17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
| אודה יהוה כצדקו ואזמרה שם-יהוה עליון |
