< 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 ) | 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 )
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.
