תהילים 18
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ לְעֶבֶד יְהֹוָה לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ׀ לַיהֹוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיוֹם הִֽצִּיל־יְהֹוָה אוֹתוֹ מִכַּף כׇּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִיַּד שָׁאֽוּל׃ וַיֹּאמַר אֶרְחׇמְךָ יְהֹוָה חִזְקִֽי׃ | 1 |
I will love thee, O YHWH, my strength.
| יְהֹוָה ׀ סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אֵלִי צוּרִי אֶֽחֱסֶה־בּוֹ מָֽגִנִּי וְקֶֽרֶן־יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃ | 2 |
YHWH is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my El, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
| מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וּמִן־אֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ | 3 |
I will call upon YHWH, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
| אֲפָפוּנִי חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וְֽנַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַֽעֲתֽוּנִי׃ | 4 |
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of destruction made me afraid.
| חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סְבָבוּנִי קִדְּמוּנִי מוֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 5 |
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. (Sheol h7585)
| בַּצַּר־לִי ׀ אֶקְרָא יְהֹוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֲשַׁוֵּעַ יִשְׁמַע מֵהֵיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי לְפָנָיו ׀ תָּבוֹא בְאׇזְנָֽיו׃ | 6 |
In my distress I called upon YHWH, and cried unto my Elohim: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
| וַתִּגְעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ ׀ הָאָרֶץ וּמוֹסְדֵי הָרִים יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁוּ כִּי־חָרָה לֽוֹ׃ | 7 |
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
| עָלָה עָשָׁן ׀ בְּאַפּוֹ וְאֵשׁ־מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 8 |
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
| וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 9 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
| וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּדֶא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 10 |
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
| יָשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְרוֹ סְבִֽיבוֹתָיו סֻכָּתוֹ חֶשְׁכַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִֽים׃ | 11 |
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
| מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדּוֹ עָבָיו עָבְרוּ בָּרָד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 12 |
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
| וַיַּרְעֵם בַּשָּׁמַיִם ׀ יְֽהֹוָה וְעֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּן קֹלוֹ בָּרָד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
YHWH also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצָּיו וַיְפִיצֵם וּבְרָקִים רָב וַיְהֻמֵּֽם׃ | 14 |
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
| וַיֵּרָאוּ ׀ אֲפִיקֵי מַיִם וַֽיִּגָּלוּ מוֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל מִגַּעֲרָתְךָ יְהֹוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפֶּֽךָ׃ | 15 |
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O YHWH, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
| יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵנִי יַֽמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 16 |
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
| יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז וּמִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּֽי־אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 17 |
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
| יְקַדְּמוּנִי בְיוֹם־אֵידִי וַֽיְהִי־יְהֹוָה לְמִשְׁעָן לִֽי׃ | 18 |
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but YHWH was my stay.
| וַיּוֹצִיאֵנִי לַמֶּרְחָב יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי חָפֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ | 19 |
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
| יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִֽי׃ | 20 |
YHWH rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
| כִּֽי־שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהֹוָה וְלֹֽא־רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 21 |
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my Elohim.
| כִּי כׇל־מִשְׁפָּטָיו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסִיר מֶֽנִּי׃ | 22 |
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
| וָאֱהִי תָמִים עִמּוֹ וָאֶשְׁתַּמֵּר מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃ | 23 |
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
| וַיָּֽשֶׁב־יְהֹוָה לִי כְצִדְקִי כְּבֹר יָדַי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ | 24 |
Therefore hath YHWH recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
| עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גְּבַר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ | 25 |
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
| עִם־נָבָר תִּתְבָּרָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתְפַּתָּֽל׃ | 26 |
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה עַם־עָנִי תוֹשִׁיעַ וְעֵינַיִם רָמוֹת תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃ | 27 |
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה תָּאִיר נֵרִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי יַגִּיהַּ חׇשְׁכִּֽי׃ | 28 |
For thou wilt light my candle: YHWH my Elohim will enlighten my darkness.
| כִּֽי־בְךָ אָרֻץ גְּדוּד וּבֵֽאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ | 29 |
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my Elohim have I leaped over a wall.
| הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ אִמְרַֽת־יְהֹוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל ׀ הַחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ | 30 |
As for El, his way is perfect: the word of YHWH is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
| כִּי מִי אֱלוֹהַּ מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהֹוָה וּמִי צוּר זוּלָתִי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ | 31 |
For who is Eloah save YHWH? or who is a rock save our Elohim?
| הָאֵל הַמְאַזְּרֵנִי חָיִל וַיִּתֵּן תָּמִים דַּרְכִּֽי׃ | 32 |
It is El that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
| מְשַׁוֶּה רַגְלַי כָּאַיָּלוֹת וְעַל בָּמֹתַי יַעֲמִידֵֽנִי׃ | 33 |
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
| מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְֽנִחֲתָה קֶֽשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרוֹעֹתָֽי׃ | 34 |
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וִֽימִינְךָ תִסְעָדֵנִי וְֽעַנְוַתְךָ תַרְבֵּֽנִי׃ | 35 |
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
| תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַחְתָּי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ | 36 |
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
| אֶרְדּוֹף אוֹיְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵם וְלֹֽא־אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ | 37 |
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
| אֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא־יֻכְלוּ קוּם יִפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָֽי׃ | 38 |
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
| וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתָּֽי׃ | 39 |
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
| וְֽאֹיְבַי נָתַתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף וּמְשַׂנְאַי אַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ | 40 |
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
| יְשַׁוְּעוּ וְאֵין־מוֹשִׁיעַ עַל־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא עָנָֽם׃ | 41 |
They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto YHWH, but he answered them not.
| וְֽאֶשְׁחָקֵם כְּעָפָר עַל־פְּנֵי־רוּחַ כְּטִיט חוּצוֹת אֲרִיקֵֽם׃ | 42 |
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
| תְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עָם תְּשִׂימֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַֽעַבְדֽוּנִי׃ | 43 |
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
| לְשֵׁמַֽע אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִי בְּנֵֽי־נֵכָר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לִֽי׃ | 44 |
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
| בְּנֵי־נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְרְגוּ מִֽמִּסְגְּרֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ | 45 |
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
| חַי־יְהֹוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרוּם אֱלוֹהֵי יִשְׁעִֽי׃ | 46 |
YHWH liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the Elohim of my salvation be exalted.
| הָאֵל הַנּוֹתֵן נְקָמוֹת לִי וַיַּדְבֵּר עַמִּים תַּחְתָּֽי׃ | 47 |
It is El that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
| מְפַלְּטִי מֵאֹיְבָי אַף מִן־קָמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חָמָס תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 48 |
He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
| עַל־כֵּן ׀ אוֹדְךָ בַגּוֹיִם ׀ יְהֹוָה וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃ | 49 |
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O YHWH, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
| מַגְדִּל יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹשֶׂה חֶסֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 50 |
Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
