< תהילים 37 >
לְדָוִד ׀ אַל־תִּתְחַר בַּמְּרֵעִים אַל־תְּקַנֵּא בְּעֹשֵׂי עַוְלָֽה׃ | 1 |
A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
כִּי כֶחָצִיר מְהֵרָה יִמָּלוּ וּכְיֶרֶק דֶּשֶׁא יִבּוֹלֽוּן׃ | 2 |
For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
בְּטַח בַּיהֹוָה וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב שְׁכׇן־אֶרֶץ וּרְעֵה אֱמוּנָֽה׃ | 3 |
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
וְהִתְעַנַּג עַל־יְהֹוָה וְיִֽתֶּן־לְךָ מִשְׁאֲלֹת לִבֶּֽךָ׃ | 4 |
So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
גּוֹל עַל־יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּבְטַח עָלָיו וְהוּא יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ | 5 |
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
וְהוֹצִיא כָאוֹר צִדְקֶךָ וּמִשְׁפָּטֶךָ כַּֽצׇּהֳרָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
דּוֹם ׀ לַיהֹוָה וְהִתְחוֹלֵֽל לוֹ אַל־תִּתְחַר בְּמַצְלִיחַ דַּרְכּוֹ בְּאִישׁ עֹשֶׂה מְזִמּֽוֹת׃ | 7 |
Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
הֶרֶף מֵאַף וַעֲזֹב חֵמָה אַל־תִּתְחַר אַךְ־לְהָרֵֽעַ׃ | 8 |
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
כִּֽי־מְרֵעִים יִכָּרֵתוּן וְקֹוֵי יְהֹוָה הֵמָּה יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
וְעוֹד מְעַט וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְהִתְבּוֹנַנְתָּ עַל־מְקוֹמוֹ וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃ | 10 |
And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
וַעֲנָוִים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְהִֽתְעַנְּגוּ עַל־רֹב שָׁלֽוֹם׃ | 11 |
But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
זֹמֵם רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וְחֹרֵק עָלָיו שִׁנָּֽיו׃ | 12 |
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
אֲדֹנָי יִשְׂחַק־לוֹ כִּי־רָאָה כִּֽי־יָבֹא יוֹמֽוֹ׃ | 13 |
The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
חֶרֶב ׀ פָּתְחוּ רְשָׁעִים וְדָרְכוּ קַשְׁתָּם לְהַפִּיל עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן לִטְבוֹחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְ׃ | 14 |
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
חַרְבָּם תָּבוֹא בְלִבָּם וְקַשְּׁתוֹתָם תִּשָּׁבַֽרְנָה׃ | 15 |
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
טוֹב־מְעַט לַצַּדִּיק מֵהֲמוֹן רְשָׁעִים רַבִּֽים׃ | 16 |
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
כִּי זְרוֹעוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה וְסוֹמֵךְ צַדִּיקִים יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 17 |
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
יוֹדֵעַ יְהֹוָה יְמֵי תְמִימִם וְנַחֲלָתָם לְעוֹלָם תִּהְיֶֽה׃ | 18 |
The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
לֹֽא־יֵבֹשׁוּ בְּעֵת רָעָה וּבִימֵי רְעָבוֹן יִשְׂבָּֽעוּ׃ | 19 |
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
כִּי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאֹיְבֵי יְהֹוָה כִּיקַר כָּרִים כָּלוּ בֶעָשָׁן כָּֽלוּ׃ | 20 |
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
לֹוֶה רָשָׁע וְלֹא יְשַׁלֵּם וְצַדִּיק חוֹנֵן וְנוֹתֵֽן׃ | 21 |
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
כִּי מְבֹרָכָיו יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּמְקֻלָּלָיו יִכָּרֵֽתוּ׃ | 22 |
For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
מֵיְהֹוָה מִֽצְעֲדֵי־גֶבֶר כּוֹנָנוּ וְדַרְכּוֹ יֶחְפָּֽץ׃ | 23 |
It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
כִּֽי־יִפֹּל לֹֽא־יוּטָל כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה סוֹמֵךְ יָדֽוֹ׃ | 24 |
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
נַעַר ׀ הָיִיתִי גַּם־זָקַנְתִּי וְֽלֹא־רָאִיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב וְזַרְעוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶם׃ | 25 |
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶה וְזַרְעוֹ לִבְרָכָֽה׃ | 26 |
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב וּשְׁכֹן לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 27 |
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
כִּי יְהֹוָה ׀ אֹהֵב מִשְׁפָּט וְלֹא־יַעֲזֹב אֶת־חֲסִידָיו לְעוֹלָם נִשְׁמָרוּ וְזֶרַע רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽת׃ | 28 |
For the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
צַדִּיקִים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְיִשְׁכְּנוּ לָעַד עָלֶֽיהָ׃ | 29 |
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה חׇכְמָה וּלְשׁוֹנוֹ תְּדַבֵּר מִשְׁפָּֽט׃ | 30 |
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהָיו בְּלִבּוֹ לֹא תִמְעַד אֲשֻׁרָֽיו׃ | 31 |
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
צוֹפֶה רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וּמְבַקֵּשׁ לַהֲמִיתֽוֹ׃ | 32 |
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
יְהֹוָה לֹא־יַעַזְבֶנּוּ בְיָדוֹ וְלֹא יַרְשִׁיעֶנּוּ בְּהִשָּׁפְטֽוֹ׃ | 33 |
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה ׀ וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכּוֹ וִֽירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ | 34 |
Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
רָאִיתִי רָשָׁע עָרִיץ וּמִתְעָרֶה כְּאֶזְרָח רַעֲנָֽן׃ | 35 |
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
וַֽיַּעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ וָאֲבַקְשֵׁהוּ וְלֹא נִמְצָֽא׃ | 36 |
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
שְׁמׇר־תָּם וּרְאֵה יָשָׁר כִּֽי־אַחֲרִית לְאִישׁ שָׁלֽוֹם׃ | 37 |
Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
וּֽפֹשְׁעִים נִשְׁמְדוּ יַחְדָּו אַחֲרִית רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽתָה׃ | 38 |
But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
וּתְשׁוּעַת צַדִּיקִים מֵיְהֹוָה מָעוּזָּם בְּעֵת צָרָֽה׃ | 39 |
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
וַיַּעְזְרֵם יְהֹוָה וַֽיְפַלְּטֵם יְפַלְּטֵם מֵרְשָׁעִים וְיוֹשִׁיעֵם כִּי־חָסוּ בֽוֹ׃ | 40 |
And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
