< תהילים 17 >
תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִד שִׁמְעָה יְהֹוָה ׀ צֶדֶק הַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִי בְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָֽה׃ | 1 |
Hear the right, O YHWH, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵא עֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִֽים׃ | 2 |
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי ׀ פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָה צְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָא זַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבׇר־פִּֽי׃ | 3 |
Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou has tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
לִפְעֻלּוֹת אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָ אֲנִי שָׁמַרְתִּי אׇרְחוֹת פָּרִֽיץ׃ | 4 |
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתֶיךָ בַּל־נָמוֹטּוּ פְעָמָֽי׃ | 5 |
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
אֲנִֽי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִֽי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵל הַֽט־אׇזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִֽי׃ | 6 |
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O El: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ חוֹסִים מִמִּתְקוֹמְמִים בִּֽימִינֶֽךָ׃ | 7 |
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
שׇׁמְרֵנִי כְּאִישׁוֹן בַּת־עָיִן בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִי׃ | 8 |
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִי אֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָֽי׃ | 9 |
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
חֶלְבָּמוֹ סָּגְרוּ פִּימוֹ דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאֽוּת׃ | 10 |
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה (סבבוני) [סְבָבוּנוּ] עֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטוֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 11 |
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
דִּמְיֹנוֹ כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסוֹף לִטְרֹף וְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרִֽים׃ | 12 |
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
קוּמָה יְהֹוָה קַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּ פַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּֽךָ׃ | 13 |
Arise, O YHWH, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
מִמְתִֽים־יָדְךָ ׀ יְהֹוָה מִֽמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּֽחַיִּים (וצפינך) [וּֽצְפוּנְךָ] תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעוֹלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ | 14 |
From men which are thy hand, O YHWH, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃ | 15 |
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
