< תהילים 55 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינֹת מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִֽד׃ הַאֲזִינָה אֱלֹהִים תְּפִלָּתִי וְאַל־תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתִֽי׃ | 1 |
[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
הַקְשִׁיבָה לִּי וַעֲנֵנִי אָרִיד בְּשִׂיחִי וְאָהִֽימָה׃ | 2 |
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
מִקּוֹל אוֹיֵב מִפְּנֵי עָקַת רָשָׁע כִּֽי־יָמִיטוּ עָלַי אָוֶן וּבְאַף יִשְׂטְמֽוּנִי׃ | 3 |
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
לִבִּי יָחִיל בְּקִרְבִּי וְאֵימוֹת מָוֶת נָפְלוּ עָלָֽי׃ | 4 |
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
יִרְאָה וָרַעַד יָבֹא בִי וַתְּכַסֵּנִי פַּלָּצֽוּת׃ | 5 |
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
וָאֹמַר מִֽי־יִתֶּן־לִי אֵבֶר כַּיּוֹנָה אָעוּפָה וְאֶשְׁכֹּֽנָה׃ | 6 |
I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
הִנֵּה אַרְחִיק נְדֹד אָלִין בַּמִּדְבָּר סֶֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
אָחִישָׁה מִפְלָט לִי מֵרוּחַ סֹעָה מִסָּֽעַר׃ | 8 |
"I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
בַּלַּע אֲדֹנָי פַּלַּג לְשׁוֹנָם כִּֽי־רָאִיתִי חָמָס וְרִיב בָּעִֽיר׃ | 9 |
Confuse them, LORD, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה יְסוֹבְבֻהָ עַל־חוֹמֹתֶיהָ וְאָוֶן וְעָמָל בְּקִרְבָּֽהּ׃ | 10 |
Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
הַוּוֹת בְּקִרְבָּהּ וְֽלֹא־יָמִישׁ מֵרְחֹבָהּ תֹּךְ וּמִרְמָֽה׃ | 11 |
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.
כִּי לֹֽא־אוֹיֵב יְחָֽרְפֵנִי וְאֶשָּׂא לֹא־מְשַׂנְאִי עָלַי הִגְדִּיל וְאֶסָּתֵר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 12 |
For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
וְאַתָּה אֱנוֹשׁ כְּעֶרְכִּי אַלּוּפִי וּמְיֻדָּעִֽי׃ | 13 |
But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
אֲשֶׁר יַחְדָּו נַמְתִּיק סוֹד בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים נְהַלֵּךְ בְּרָֽגֶשׁ׃ | 14 |
We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
(ישימות) [יַשִּׁי מָוֶת ׀] עָלֵימוֹ יֵרְדוּ שְׁאוֹל חַיִּים כִּֽי־רָעוֹת בִּמְגוּרָם בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃ (Sheol ) | 15 |
Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol )
אֲנִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים אֶקְרָא וַיהֹוָה יוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ | 16 |
As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
עֶרֶב וָבֹקֶר וְצׇהֳרַיִם אָשִׂיחָה וְאֶֽהֱמֶה וַיִּשְׁמַע קוֹלִֽי׃ | 17 |
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
פָּדָה בְשָׁלוֹם נַפְשִׁי מִקְּרׇב־לִי כִּֽי־בְרַבִּים הָיוּ עִמָּדִֽי׃ | 18 |
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֵל ׀ וְֽיַעֲנֵם וְיֹשֵׁב קֶדֶם סֶלָה אֲשֶׁר אֵין חֲלִיפוֹת לָמוֹ וְלֹא יָרְאוּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 19 |
God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
שָׁלַח יָדָיו בִּשְׁלֹמָיו חִלֵּל בְּרִיתֽוֹ׃ | 20 |
He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated his covenant.
חָלְקוּ ׀ מַחְמָאֹת פִּיו וּֽקְרָב־לִבּוֹ רַכּוּ דְבָרָיו מִשֶּׁמֶן וְהֵמָּה פְתִחֽוֹת׃ | 21 |
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
הַשְׁלֵךְ עַל־יְהֹוָה ׀ יְהָבְךָ וְהוּא יְכַלְכְּלֶךָ לֹא־יִתֵּן לְעוֹלָם מוֹט לַצַּדִּֽיק׃ | 22 |
Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
וְאַתָּה אֱלֹהִים ׀ תּוֹרִדֵם ׀ לִבְאֵר שַׁחַת אַנְשֵׁי דָמִים וּמִרְמָה לֹא־יֶחֱצוּ יְמֵיהֶם וַאֲנִי אֶבְטַח־בָּֽךְ׃ | 23 |
But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
