תהילים 37
| לדוד אל-תתחר במרעים אל-תקנא בעשי עולה | 1 |
BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious against doers of iniquity,
| כי כחציר מהרה ימלו וכירק דשא יבולון | 2 |
For they are cut off speedily as grass, And fade as the greenness of the tender grass.
| בטח ביהוה ועשה-טוב שכן-ארץ ורעה אמונה | 3 |
Trust in YHWH, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
| והתענג על-יהוה ויתן-לך משאלת לבך | 4 |
And delight yourself on YHWH, And He gives to you the petitions of your heart.
| גול על-יהוה דרכך ובטח עליו והוא יעשה | 5 |
Roll your way on YHWH, And trust on Him, and He works,
| והוציא כאור צדקך ומשפטך כצהרים | 6 |
And has brought out your righteousness as light, And your judgment as noon-day.
| דום ליהוה-- והתחולל-לו אל-תתחר במצליח דרכו באיש עשה מזמות | 7 |
Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making his way prosperous, Because of a man doing wicked schemes.
| הרף מאף ועזב חמה אל-תתחר אך-להרע | 8 |
Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Do not fret yourself to only do evil.
| כי-מרעים יכרתון וקוי יהוה המה יירשו-ארץ | 9 |
For evildoers are cut off, As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.
| ועוד מעט ואין רשע והתבוננת על-מקומו ואיננו | 10 |
And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, And you have considered his place, and it is not.
| וענוים יירשו-ארץ והתענגו על-רב שלום | 11 |
And the humble possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
| זמם רשע לצדיק וחרק עליו שניו | 12 |
The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing his teeth against him.
| אדני ישחק-לו כי-ראה כי-יבא יומו | 13 |
The Lord laughs at him, For He has seen that his day comes.
| חרב פתחו רשעים-- ודרכו קשתם להפיל עני ואביון לטבוח ישרי-דרך | 14 |
The wicked have opened a sword, And they have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slaughter the upright of the way.
| חרבם תבוא בלבם וקשתותם תשברנה | 15 |
Their sword enters into their own heart, And their bows are shattered.
| טוב-מעט לצדיק-- מהמון רשעים רבים | 16 |
Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
| כי זרועות רשעים תשברנה וסומך צדיקים יהוה | 17 |
For the arms of the wicked are shattered, And YHWH is sustaining the righteous.
| יודע יהוה ימי תמימם ונחלתם לעולם תהיה | 18 |
YHWH knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is for all time.
| לא-יבשו בעת רעה ובימי רעבון ישבעו | 19 |
They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And they are satisfied in days of famine.
| כי רשעים יאבדו ואיבי יהוה כיקר כרים כלו בעשן כלו | 20 |
But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, They have been consumed in smoke.
| לוה רשע ולא ישלם וצדיק חונן ונותן | 21 |
The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
| כי מברכיו יירשו ארץ ומקלליו יכרתו | 22 |
For His blessed ones possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
| מיהוה מצעדי-גבר כוננו ודרכו יחפץ | 23 |
The steps of a man [are] from YHWH, They have been prepared, And He desires his way.
| כי-יפל לא-יוטל כי-יהוה סומך ידו | 24 |
When he falls, he is not cast down, For YHWH is sustaining his hand.
| נער הייתי-- גם-זקנתי ולא-ראיתי צדיק נעזב וזרעו מבקש-לחם | 25 |
I have been young, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
| כל-היום חונן ומלוה וזרעו לברכה | 26 |
All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
| סור מרע ועשה-טוב ושכן לעולם | 27 |
Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell for all time.
| כי יהוה אהב משפט ולא-יעזב את-חסידיו לעולם נשמרו וזרע רשעים נכרת | 28 |
For YHWH is loving judgment, And He does not forsake His saintly ones, They have been kept for all time, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.
| צדיקים יירשו-ארץ וישכנו לעד עליה | 29 |
The righteous possess the land, And they dwell on it forever.
| פי-צדיק יהגה חכמה ולשונו תדבר משפט | 30 |
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks judgment.
| תורת אלהיו בלבו לא תמעד אשריו | 31 |
The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
| צופה רשע לצדיק ומבקש להמיתו | 32 |
The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
| יהוה לא-יעזבנו בידו ולא ירשיענו בהשפטו | 33 |
YHWH does not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
| קוה אל-יהוה ושמר דרכו וירוממך לרשת ארץ בהכרת רשעים תראה | 34 |
Look to YHWH, and keep His way, And He exalts you to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off—you see!
| ראיתי רשע עריץ ומתערה כאזרח רענן | 35 |
I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
| ויעבר והנה איננו ואבקשהו ולא נמצא | 36 |
And he passes away, and behold, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
| שמר-תם וראה ישר כי-אחרית לאיש שלום | 37 |
Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
| ופשעים נשמדו יחדו אחרית רשעים נכרתה | 38 |
And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
| ותשועת צדיקים מיהוה מעוזם בעת צרה | 39 |
And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
| ויעזרם יהוה ויפלטם יפלטם מרשעים ויושיעם--כי-חסו בו | 40 |
And YHWH helps them and delivers them, He delivers them from the wicked, And saves them, Because they trusted in Him!
