< תהילים 55 >

למנצח בנגינת משכיל לדוד ב האזינה אלהים תפלתי ואל-תתעלם מתחנתי 1
To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
הקשיבה לי וענני אריד בשיחי ואהימה 2
Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
מקול אויב--מפני עקת רשע כי-ימיטו עלי און ובאף ישטמוני 3
I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
לבי יחיל בקרבי ואימות מות נפלו עלי 4
My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
יראה ורעד יבא בי ותכסני פלצות 5
Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
ואמר--מי-יתן-לי אבר כיונה אעופה ואשכנה 6
And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
הנה ארחיק נדד אלין במדבר סלה 7
I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
אחישה מפלט לי-- מרוח סעה מסער 8
I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
בלע אדני פלג לשונם כי-ראיתי חמס וריב בעיר 9
Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
יומם ולילה--יסובבה על-חומתיה ואון ועמל בקרבה 10
By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
הוות בקרבה ולא-ימיש מרחבה תך ומרמה 11
Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
כי לא-אויב יחרפני ואשא לא-משנאי עלי הגדיל ואסתר ממנו 12
For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
ואתה אנוש כערכי אלופי ומידעי 13
But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
אשר יחדו נמתיק סוד בבית אלהים נהלך ברגש 14
We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
ישימות (ישי מות) עלימו--ירדו שאול חיים כי-רעות במגורם בקרבם (Sheol h7585) 15
Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
אני אל-אלהים אקרא ויהוה יושיעני 16
As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
ערב ובקר וצהרים אשיחה ואהמה וישמע קולי 17
In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
פדה בשלום נפשי מקרב-לי כי-ברבים היו עמדי 18
He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
ישמע אל ויענם-- וישב קדם סלה אשר אין חליפות למו ולא יראו אלהים 19
God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
שלח ידיו בשלמיו חלל בריתו 20
He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
חלקו מחמאת פיו-- וקרב-לבו רכו דבריו משמן והמה פתחות 21
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
השלך על-יהוה יהבך-- והוא יכלכלך לא-יתן לעולם מוט-- לצדיק 22
Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
ואתה אלהים תורדם לבאר שחת-- אנשי דמים ומרמה לא-יחצו ימיהם ואני אבטח-בך 23
But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
