תהילים 109

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃

To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:

2 כִּי פִי רָשָׁע וּֽפִי־מִרְמָה עָלַי פָּתָחוּ דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי לְשׁוֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃

For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

3 וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּֽם׃

And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

4 תַּֽחַת־אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּֽה׃

For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה וְשִׂנְאָה תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע וְשָׂטָן יַעֲמֹד עַל־יְמִינֽוֹ׃

Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

7 בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ יֵצֵא רָשָׁע וּתְפִלָּתוֹ תִּֽהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָֽה׃

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

8 יִֽהְיוּ־יָמָיו מְעַטִּים פְּקֻדָּתוֹ יִקַּח אַחֵֽר׃

Let his days be few, let another take his office;

9 יִֽהְיוּ־בָנָיו יְתוֹמִים וְאִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃

Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

10 וְנוֹעַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ וְדָרְשׁוּ מֵחׇרְבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

11 יְנַקֵּשׁ נוֹשֶׁה לְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃

Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

12 אַל־יְהִי־לוֹ מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד וְֽאַל־יְהִי חוֹנֵן לִֽיתוֹמָֽיו׃

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

13 יְהִֽי־אַחֲרִיתוֹ לְהַכְרִית בְּדוֹר אַחֵר יִמַּח שְׁמָֽם׃

Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

14 יִזָּכֵר ׀ עֲוֺן אֲבֹתָיו אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְחַטַּאת אִמּוֹ אַל־תִּמָּֽח׃

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15 יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד־יְהֹוָה תָּמִיד וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃

Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

16 יַעַן אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא זָכַר עֲשׂוֹת חָסֶד וַיִּרְדֹּף אִישׁ־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב לְמוֹתֵֽת׃

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

17 וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ וְֽלֹא־חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

18 וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה כְּמַדּוֹ וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

19 תְּהִי־לוֹ כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה וּלְמֵזַח תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

20 זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת שֹׂטְנַי מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע עַל־נַפְשִֽׁי׃

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 וְאַתָּה ׀ יֱהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֲֽשֵׂה־אִתִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

22 כִּי־עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָנֹכִי וְלִבִּי חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃

For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 כְּצֵל־כִּנְטוֹתוֹ נֶהֱלָכְתִּי נִנְעַרְתִּי כָּאַרְבֶּֽה׃

I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

24 בִּרְכַּי כָּשְׁלוּ מִצּוֹם וּבְשָׂרִי כָּחַשׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃

My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

25 וַאֲנִי ׀ הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם יִרְאוּנִי יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃

And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

26 עׇזְרֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

27 וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָדְךָ זֹּאת אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

28 יְקַֽלְלוּ־הֵמָּה וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ קָמוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ וְֽעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָֽח׃

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

29 יִלְבְּשׁוּ שׂוֹטְנַי כְּלִמָּה וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בׇּשְׁתָּֽם׃

Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

30 אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי וּבְתוֹךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶֽנּוּ׃

I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 כִּֽי־יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיוֹן לְהוֹשִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
