< תהילים 109 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃ | 1 |
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent.
כִּי פִי רָשָׁע וּֽפִי־מִרְמָה עָלַי פָּתָחוּ דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי לְשׁוֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃ | 2 |
For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.
וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּֽם׃ | 3 |
They surround me with hateful words and attack me without cause.
תַּֽחַת־אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּֽה׃ | 4 |
In return for my love they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה וְשִׂנְאָה תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃ | 5 |
They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע וְשָׂטָן יַעֲמֹד עַל־יְמִינֽוֹ׃ | 6 |
Set over him a wicked man; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ יֵצֵא רָשָׁע וּתְפִלָּתוֹ תִּֽהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָֽה׃ | 7 |
When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be regarded as sin.
יִֽהְיוּ־יָמָיו מְעַטִּים פְּקֻדָּתוֹ יִקַּח אַחֵֽר׃ | 8 |
May his days be few; may another take his position.
יִֽהְיוּ־בָנָיו יְתוֹמִים וְאִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃ | 9 |
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
וְנוֹעַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ וְדָרְשׁוּ מֵחׇרְבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ | 10 |
May his children wander as beggars, seeking sustenance far from their ruined homes.
יְנַקֵּשׁ נוֹשֶׁה לְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃ | 11 |
May the creditor seize all he owns, and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
אַל־יְהִי־לוֹ מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד וְֽאַל־יְהִי חוֹנֵן לִֽיתוֹמָֽיו׃ | 12 |
May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.
יְהִֽי־אַחֲרִיתוֹ לְהַכְרִית בְּדוֹר אַחֵר יִמַּח שְׁמָֽם׃ | 13 |
May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.
יִזָּכֵר ׀ עֲוֺן אֲבֹתָיו אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְחַטַּאת אִמּוֹ אַל־תִּמָּֽח׃ | 14 |
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד־יְהֹוָה תָּמִיד וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ | 15 |
May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.
יַעַן אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא זָכַר עֲשׂוֹת חָסֶד וַיִּרְדֹּף אִישׁ־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב לְמוֹתֵֽת׃ | 16 |
For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.
וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ וְֽלֹא־חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 17 |
The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.
וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה כְּמַדּוֹ וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃ | 18 |
The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
תְּהִי־לוֹ כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה וּלְמֵזַח תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃ | 19 |
May it be like a robe wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.
זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת שֹׂטְנַי מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע עַל־נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | 20 |
May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.
וְאַתָּה ׀ יֱהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֲֽשֵׂה־אִתִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 21 |
But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.
כִּי־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָנֹכִי וְלִבִּי חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃ | 22 |
For I am poor and needy; my heart is wounded within me.
כְּצֵל־כִּנְטוֹתוֹ נֶהֱלָכְתִּי נִנְעַרְתִּי כָּאַרְבֶּֽה׃ | 23 |
I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
בִּרְכַּי כָּשְׁלוּ מִצּוֹם וּבְשָׂרִי כָּחַשׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃ | 24 |
My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.
וַאֲנִי ׀ הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם יִרְאוּנִי יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃ | 25 |
I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
עׇזְרֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃ | 26 |
Help me, O LORD my God; save me according to Your loving devotion.
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָדְךָ זֹּאת אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃ | 27 |
Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.
יְקַֽלְלוּ־הֵמָּה וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ קָמוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ וְֽעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָֽח׃ | 28 |
Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.
יִלְבְּשׁוּ שׂוֹטְנַי כְּלִמָּה וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בׇּשְׁתָּֽם׃ | 29 |
May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.
אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי וּבְתוֹךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶֽנּוּ׃ | 30 |
With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely; I will praise Him in the presence of many.
כִּֽי־יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיוֹן לְהוֹשִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ | 31 |
For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.
