< 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 the workers of iniquity.
כִּי כֶחָצִיר מְהֵרָה יִמָּלוּ וּכְיֶרֶק דֶּשֶׁא יִבּוֹלֽוּן׃ | 2 |
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
בְּטַח בַּיהֹוָה וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב שְׁכׇן־אֶרֶץ וּרְעֵה אֱמוּנָֽה׃ | 3 |
Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
וְהִתְעַנַּג עַל־יְהֹוָה וְיִֽתֶּן־לְךָ מִשְׁאֲלֹת לִבֶּֽךָ׃ | 4 |
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
גּוֹל עַל־יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּבְטַח עָלָיו וְהוּא יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ | 5 |
Commit thy way to the LORD; trust also in him; and he will bring [it] to pass.
וְהוֹצִיא כָאוֹר צִדְקֶךָ וּמִשְׁפָּטֶךָ כַּֽצׇּהֳרָֽיִם׃ | 6 |
And he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day.
דּוֹם ׀ לַיהֹוָה וְהִתְחוֹלֵֽל לוֹ אַל־תִּתְחַר בְּמַצְלִיחַ דַּרְכּוֹ בְּאִישׁ עֹשֶׂה מְזִמּֽוֹת׃ | 7 |
Rest in 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 in any wise to do evil.
כִּֽי־מְרֵעִים יִכָּרֵתוּן וְקֹוֵי יְהֹוָה הֵמָּה יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 9 |
For evil doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
וְעוֹד מְעַט וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְהִתְבּוֹנַנְתָּ עַל־מְקוֹמוֹ וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃ | 10 |
For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yes, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
וַעֲנָוִים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְהִֽתְעַנְּגוּ עַל־רֹב שָׁלֽוֹם׃ | 11 |
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
זֹמֵם רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וְחֹרֵק עָלָיו שִׁנָּֽיו׃ | 12 |
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
אֲדֹנָי יִשְׂחַק־לוֹ כִּי־רָאָה כִּֽי־יָבֹא יוֹמֽוֹ׃ | 13 |
The LORD will 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, [and] to slay such as are of upright deportment.
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 |
A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches 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 the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
לֹֽא־יֵבֹשׁוּ בְּעֵת רָעָה וּבִימֵי רְעָבוֹן יִשְׂבָּֽעוּ׃ | 19 |
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
כִּי רְשָׁעִים ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאֹיְבֵי יְהֹוָה כִּיקַר כָּרִים כָּלוּ בֶעָשָׁן כָּֽלוּ׃ | 20 |
But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
לֹוֶה רָשָׁע וְלֹא יְשַׁלֵּם וְצַדִּיק חוֹנֵן וְנוֹתֵֽן׃ | 21 |
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.
כִּי מְבֹרָכָיו יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּמְקֻלָּלָיו יִכָּרֵֽתוּ׃ | 22 |
For [such as are] blessed by him shall inherit the earth; and [they that are] cursed by him shall be cut off.
מֵיְהֹוָה מִֽצְעֲדֵי־גֶבֶר כּוֹנָנוּ וְדַרְכּוֹ יֶחְפָּֽץ׃ | 23 |
The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
כִּֽי־יִפֹּל לֹֽא־יוּטָל כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה סוֹמֵךְ יָדֽוֹ׃ | 24 |
Though he should fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
נַעַר ׀ הָיִיתִי גַּם־זָקַנְתִּי וְֽלֹא־רָאִיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב וְזַרְעוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶם׃ | 25 |
I have been young, and [now] am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶה וְזַרְעוֹ לִבְרָכָֽה׃ | 26 |
[He is] ever merciful, 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 judgment, 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 speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהָיו בְּלִבּוֹ לֹא תִמְעַד אֲשֻׁרָֽיו׃ | 31 |
The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall 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 condemn him when he is judged.
קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה ׀ וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכּוֹ וִֽירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽה׃ | 34 |
Wait on 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 green bay tree.
וַֽיַּעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ וָאֲבַקְשֵׁהוּ וְלֹא נִמְצָֽא׃ | 36 |
Yet he passed away, and lo, he [was] not: yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
שְׁמׇר־תָּם וּרְאֵה יָשָׁר כִּֽי־אַחֲרִית לְאִישׁ שָׁלֽוֹם׃ | 37 |
Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.
וּֽפֹשְׁעִים נִשְׁמְדוּ יַחְדָּו אַחֲרִית רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽתָה׃ | 38 |
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end 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 strength in the time of trouble.
וַיַּעְזְרֵם יְהֹוָה וַֽיְפַלְּטֵם יְפַלְּטֵם מֵרְשָׁעִים וְיוֹשִׁיעֵם כִּי־חָסוּ בֽוֹ׃ | 40 |
And the LORD will help them, and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
