Psalms 7
1 'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
| שִׁגָּיֹ֗ון לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֥ר לַיהוָ֑ה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כ֝֗וּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּךָ֣ חָסִ֑יתִי הֹושִׁיעֵ֥נִי מִכָּל־רֹ֝דְפַ֗י וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ |
2 Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
| פֶּן־יִטְרֹ֣ף כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י פֹּ֝רֵ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃ |
3 O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
| יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂ֣יתִי זֹ֑את אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ |
4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,
| אִם־גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֹֽׁולְמִ֥י רָ֑ע וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה צֹורְרִ֣י רֵיקָֽם׃ |
5 An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. (Selah)
| יִֽרַדֹּ֥ף אֹויֵ֨ב ׀ נַפְשִׁ֡י וְיַשֵּׂ֗ג וְיִרְמֹ֣ס לָאָ֣רֶץ חַיָּ֑י וּכְבֹודִ֓י ׀ לֶעָפָ֖ר יַשְׁכֵּ֣ן סֶֽלָה׃ |
6 Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
| ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ בְּאַפֶּ֗ךָ הִ֭נָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרֹ֣ות צֹורְרָ֑י וְע֥וּרָה אֵ֝לַ֗י מִשְׁפָּ֥ט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ |
7 And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
| וַעֲדַ֣ת לְ֭אֻמִּים תְּסֹובְבֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ לַמָּרֹ֥ום שֽׁוּבָה׃ |
8 Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
| יְהוָה֮ יָדִ֪ין עַ֫מִּ֥ים שָׁפְטֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כְּצִדְקִ֖י וּכְתֻמִּ֣י עָלָֽי׃ |
9 Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
| יִגְמָר־נָ֬א רַ֨ע ׀ רְשָׁעִים֮ וּתְכֹונֵ֪ן צַ֫דִּ֥יק וּבֹחֵ֣ן לִ֭בֹּ֗ות וּכְלָיֹ֗ות אֱלֹהִ֥ים צַדּֽ͏ִיק׃ |
10 My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
| מָֽגִנִּ֥י עַל־אֱלֹהִ֑ים מֹ֝ושִׁ֗יעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ |
11 God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
| אֱ֭לֹהִים שֹׁופֵ֣ט צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝אֵ֗ל זֹעֵ֥ם בְּכָל־יֹֽום׃ |
12 If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,
| אִם־לֹ֣א יָ֭שׁוּב חַרְבֹּ֣ו יִלְטֹ֑ושׁ קַשְׁתֹּ֥ו דָ֝רַ֗ךְ וַֽיְכֹונְנֶֽהָ׃ |
13 Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
| וְ֭לֹו הֵכִ֣ין כְּלֵי־מָ֑וֶת חִ֝צָּ֗יו לְֽדֹלְקִ֥ים יִפְעָֽל׃ |
14 Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
| הִנֵּ֥ה יְחַבֶּל־אָ֑וֶן וְהָרָ֥ה עָ֝מָ֗ל וְיָ֣לַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ |
15 A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
| בֹּ֣ור כָּ֭רָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵ֑הוּ וַ֝יִּפֹּ֗ל בְּשַׁ֣חַת יִפְעָֽל׃ |
16 Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
| יָשׁ֣וּב עֲמָלֹ֣ו בְרֹאשֹׁ֑ו וְעַ֥ל קָ֝דְקֳדֹ֗ו חֲמָסֹ֥ו יֵרֵֽד׃ |
17 I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
| אֹודֶ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה כְּצִדְקֹ֑ו וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה עֶלְיֹֽון׃ |
