שמואל ב 22
| וַיְדַבֵּר דָּוִד לַיהֹוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיוֹם הִצִּיל יְהֹוָה אֹתוֹ מִכַּף כׇּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִכַּף שָׁאֽוּל׃ | 1 |
And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath 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 saith: 'Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
| אֱלֹהֵי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בּוֹ מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי מֹשִׁעִי מֵחָמָס תֹּשִׁעֵֽנִי׃ | 3 |
My God [is] my rock — I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!
| מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וּמֵאֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ | 4 |
The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
| כִּי אֲפָפֻנִי מִשְׁבְּרֵי־מָוֶת נַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתֻֽנִי׃ | 5 |
When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
| חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סַבֻּנִי קִדְּמֻנִי מֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death. (Sheol h7585)
| בַּצַּר־לִי אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵֽיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאׇזְנָֽיו׃ | 7 |
In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His ears,
| (ותגעש) [וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ] וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ מוֹסְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּֽתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּי־חָרָה לֽוֹ׃ | 8 |
And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath!
| עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 9 |
Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.
| וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 10 |
And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
| וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּרָא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 11 |
And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
| וַיָּשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ סְבִיבֹתָיו סֻכּוֹת חַֽשְׁרַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִֽים׃ | 12 |
And He setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — thick clouds of the skies.
| מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדּוֹ בָּעֲרוּ גַּחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire kindled!
| יַרְעֵם מִן־שָׁמַיִם יְהֹוָה וְעֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּן קוֹלֽוֹ׃ | 14 |
Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצִּים וַיְפִיצֵם בָּרָק (ויהמם) [וַיָּהֹֽם]׃ | 15 |
And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth them;
| וַיֵּֽרָאוּ אֲפִקֵי יָם יִגָּלוּ מֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל בְּגַעֲרַת יְהֹוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפּֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
| יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵנִי יַֽמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 17 |
He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
| יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז מִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 18 |
He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.
| יְקַדְּמֻנִי בְּיוֹם אֵידִי וַיְהִי יְהֹוָה מִשְׁעָן לִֽי׃ | 19 |
They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is my support,
| וַיֹּצֵא לַמֶּרְחָב אֹתִי יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי־חָפֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ | 20 |
And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out for He delighted in me.
| יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִֽי׃ | 21 |
Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
| כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 22 |
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
| כִּי כׇל־מִשְׁפָּטָו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסוּר מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ | 23 |
For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes, I turn not from them.
| וָאֶהְיֶה תָמִים לוֹ וָאֶשְׁתַּמְּרָה מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃ | 24 |
And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
| וַיָּשֶׁב יְהֹוָה לִי כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹרִי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ | 25 |
And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
| עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גִּבּוֹר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ | 26 |
With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,
| עִם־נָבָר תִּתָּבָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתַּפָּֽל׃ | 27 |
With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.
| וְאֶת־עַם עָנִי תּוֹשִׁיעַ וְעֵינֶיךָ עַל־רָמִים תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃ | 28 |
And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה נֵירִי יְהֹוָה וַיהֹוָה יַגִּיהַּ חׇשְׁכִּֽי׃ | 29 |
For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten my darkness.
| כִּי בְכָה אָרוּץ גְּדוּד בֵּאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ | 30 |
For by Thee I run — a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
| הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ אִמְרַת יְהֹוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל הַֽחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ | 31 |
God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him.
| כִּי מִי־אֵל מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהֹוָה וּמִי צוּר מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ | 32 |
For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God?
| הָאֵל מָֽעוּזִּי חָיִל וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים (דרכו) [דַּרְכִּֽי]׃ | 33 |
God — my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my way;
| מְשַׁוֶּה (רגליו) [רַגְלַי] כָּאַיָּלוֹת וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִדֵֽנִי׃ | 34 |
Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,
| מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחַת קֶשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹעֹתָֽי׃ | 35 |
Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow of brass by mine arms,
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וַעֲנֹתְךָ תַּרְבֵּֽנִי׃ | 36 |
And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
| תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַּחְתֵּנִי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ | 37 |
Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
| אֶרְדְּפָה אֹיְבַי וָאַשְׁמִידֵם וְלֹא אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ | 38 |
I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till they are consumed.
| וָאֲכַלֵּם וָאֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא יְקוּמוּן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָֽי׃ | 39 |
And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.
| וַתַּזְרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 40 |
And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
| וְאֹיְבַי תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף מְשַׂנְאַי וָאַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ | 41 |
And mine enemies — Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating me — and I cut them off.
| יִשְׁעוּ וְאֵין מֹשִׁיעַ אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא עָנָֽם׃ | 42 |
They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath not answered them.
| וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כַּעֲפַר־אָרֶץ כְּטִיט־חוּצוֹת אֲדִקֵּם אֶרְקָעֵֽם׃ | 43 |
And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small — I spread them out!
| וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻֽנִי׃ | 44 |
And — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do serve me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִתְכַּחֲשׁוּ־לִי לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִֽי׃ | 45 |
Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְגְּרוּ מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָֽם׃ | 46 |
Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
| חַי־יְהֹוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר יִשְׁעִֽי׃ | 47 |
Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God — The Rock of my salvation.
| הָאֵל הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי וּמֹרִיד עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 48 |
God — who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
| וּמוֹצִיאִי מֵאֹֽיְבָי וּמִקָּמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 49 |
And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
| עַל־כֵּן אֽוֹדְךָ יְהֹוָה בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּֽר׃ | 50 |
Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
| (מגדיל) [מִגְדּוֹל] יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹֽשֶׂה־חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 51 |
Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!'
