שמואל ב 22
| וַיְדַבֵּר דָּוִד לַיהֹוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיוֹם הִצִּיל יְהֹוָה אֹתוֹ מִכַּף כׇּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִכַּף שָׁאֽוּל׃ | 1 |
And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
| וַיֹּאמַר יְהֹוָה סַֽלְעִי וּמְצֻדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי־לִֽי׃ | 2 |
and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
| אֱלֹהֵי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בּוֹ מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי מֹשִׁעִי מֵחָמָס תֹּשִׁעֵֽנִי׃ | 3 |
The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
| מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וּמֵאֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ | 4 |
Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
| כִּי אֲפָפֻנִי מִשְׁבְּרֵי־מָוֶת נַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתֻֽנִי׃ | 5 |
For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
| חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סַבֻּנִי קִדְּמֻנִי מֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. (Sheol h7585)
| בַּצַּר־לִי אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵֽיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאׇזְנָֽיו׃ | 7 |
In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
| (ותגעש) [וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ] וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ מוֹסְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּֽתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּי־חָרָה לֽוֹ׃ | 8 |
Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
| עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 9 |
Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
| וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 10 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
| וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּרָא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 11 |
And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
| וַיָּשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ סְבִיבֹתָיו סֻכּוֹת חַֽשְׁרַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִֽים׃ | 12 |
And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
| מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדּוֹ בָּעֲרוּ גַּחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
| יַרְעֵם מִן־שָׁמַיִם יְהֹוָה וְעֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּן קוֹלֽוֹ׃ | 14 |
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצִּים וַיְפִיצֵם בָּרָק (ויהמם) [וַיָּהֹֽם]׃ | 15 |
And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
| וַיֵּֽרָאוּ אֲפִקֵי יָם יִגָּלוּ מֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל בְּגַעֲרַת יְהֹוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפּֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
| יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵנִי יַֽמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 17 |
He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
| יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז מִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 18 |
He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
| יְקַדְּמֻנִי בְּיוֹם אֵידִי וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה מִשְׁעָן לִֽי׃ | 19 |
They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
| וַיֹּצֵא לַמֶּרְחָב אֹתִי יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי־חָפֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ | 20 |
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
| יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִֽי׃ | 21 |
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
| כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 22 |
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
| כִּי כׇל־מִשְׁפָּטָו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסוּר מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ | 23 |
For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
| וָאֶהְיֶה תָמִים לוֹ וָאֶשְׁתַּמְּרָה מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃ | 24 |
And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
| וַיָּשֶׁב יְהֹוָה לִי כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹרִי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ | 25 |
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
| עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גִּבּוֹר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ | 26 |
With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
| עִם־נָבָר תִּתָּבָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתַּפָּֽל׃ | 27 |
With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
| וְאֶת־עַם עָנִי תּוֹשִׁיעַ וְעֵינֶיךָ עַל־רָמִים תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃ | 28 |
And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה נֵירִי יְהֹוָה וַיהֹוָה יַגִּיהַּ חׇשְׁכִּֽי׃ | 29 |
For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
| כִּי בְכָה אָרוּץ גְּדוּד בֵּאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ | 30 |
For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
| הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל הַֽחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ | 31 |
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
| כִּי מִי־אֵל מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהֹוָה וּמִי צוּר מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ | 32 |
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
| הָאֵל מָֽעוּזִּי חָיִל וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים (דרכו) [דַּרְכִּֽי]׃ | 33 |
The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
| מְשַׁוֶּה (רגליו) [רַגְלַי] כָּאַיָּלוֹת וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִדֵֽנִי׃ | 34 |
Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
| מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחַת קֶשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹעֹתָֽי׃ | 35 |
Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וַעֲנֹתְךָ תַּרְבֵּֽנִי׃ | 36 |
Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
| תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַּחְתֵּנִי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ | 37 |
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
| אֶרְדְּפָה אֹיְבַי וָאַשְׁמִידֵם וְלֹא אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ | 38 |
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
| וָאֲכַלֵּם וָאֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא יְקוּמוּן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָֽי׃ | 39 |
And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
| וַתַּזְרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 40 |
For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
| וְאֹיְבַי תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף מְשַׂנְאַי וָאַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ | 41 |
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
| יִשְׁעוּ וְאֵין מֹשִׁיעַ אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא עָנָֽם׃ | 42 |
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
| וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כַּעֲפַר־אָרֶץ כְּטִיט־חוּצוֹת אֲדִקֵּם אֶרְקָעֵֽם׃ | 43 |
Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
| וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻֽנִי׃ | 44 |
Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִתְכַּחֲשׁוּ־לִי לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִֽי׃ | 45 |
The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְגְּרוּ מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָֽם׃ | 46 |
The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
| חַי־יְהֹוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר יִשְׁעִֽי׃ | 47 |
The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
| הָאֵל הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי וּמֹרִיד עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 48 |
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
| וּמוֹצִיאִי מֵאֹֽיְבָי וּמִקָּמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 49 |
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
| עַל־כֵּן אֽוֹדְךָ יְהֹוָה בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּֽר׃ | 50 |
Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
| (מגדיל) [מִגְדּוֹל] יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹֽשֶׂה־חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 51 |
A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
