תהילים 55
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינֹת מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִֽד׃ הַאֲזִינָה אֱלֹהִים תְּפִלָּתִי וְאַל־תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתִֽי׃ | 1 |
For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, God; and do not hide yourself from my plea.
| הַקְשִׁיבָה לִּי וַעֲנֵנִי אָרִיד בְּשִׂיחִי וְאָהִֽימָה׃ | 2 |
Pay attention to me and answer me; I have no rest in my troubles
| מִקּוֹל אוֹיֵב מִפְּנֵי עָקַת רָשָׁע כִּֽי־יָמִיטוּ עָלַי אָוֶן וּבְאַף יִשְׂטְמֽוּנִי׃ | 3 |
because of the voice of my enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring trouble on me and persecute me in anger.
| לִבִּי יָחִיל בְּקִרְבִּי וְאֵימוֹת מָוֶת נָפְלוּ עָלָֽי׃ | 4 |
My heart trembles within me, and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
| יִרְאָה וָרַעַד יָבֹא בִי וַתְּכַסֵּנִי פַּלָּצֽוּת׃ | 5 |
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
| וָאֹמַר מִֽי־יִתֶּן־לִי אֵבֶר כַּיּוֹנָה אָעוּפָה וְאֶשְׁכֹּֽנָה׃ | 6 |
I said, “Oh, if only I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away and be at rest.
| הִנֵּה אַרְחִיק נְדֹד אָלִין בַּמִּדְבָּר סֶֽלָה׃ | 7 |
See, then I would wander far away; I would stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
| אָחִישָׁה מִפְלָט לִי מֵרוּחַ סֹעָה מִסָּֽעַר׃ | 8 |
I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.”
| בַּלַּע אֲדֹנָי פַּלַּג לְשׁוֹנָם כִּֽי־רָאִיתִי חָמָס וְרִיב בָּעִֽיר׃ | 9 |
Devour them, Lord, confuse 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 go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in the middle of it.
| הַוּוֹת בְּקִרְבָּהּ וְֽלֹא־יָמִישׁ מֵרְחֹבָהּ תֹּךְ וּמִרְמָֽה׃ | 11 |
Wickedness is in the middle of it; oppression and deceit do not leave its streets.
| כִּי לֹֽא־אוֹיֵב יְחָֽרְפֵנִי וְאֶשָּׂא לֹא־מְשַׂנְאִי עָלַי הִגְדִּיל וְאֶסָּתֵר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 12 |
For it was not an enemy who rebuked me, then I could have borne it; neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
| וְאַתָּה אֱנוֹשׁ כְּעֶרְכִּי אַלּוּפִי וּמְיֻדָּעִֽי׃ | 13 |
But it was you, a man equal to myself, my companion and my close friend.
| אֲשֶׁר יַחְדָּו נַמְתִּיק סוֹד בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים נְהַלֵּךְ בְּרָֽגֶשׁ׃ | 14 |
We had sweet fellowship together; we walked in the house of God with the throng.
| (ישימות) [יַשִּׁי מָוֶת ׀] עָלֵימוֹ יֵרְדוּ שְׁאוֹל חַיִּים כִּֽי־רָעוֹת בִּמְגוּרָם בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃ (Sheol h7585) | 15 |
Let death come suddenly on them; let them go down alive to Sheol, for wickedness is where they live, right among them. (Sheol h7585)
| אֲנִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִים אֶקְרָא וַיהֹוָה יוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ | 16 |
As for me, I will call on God, and Yahweh will save me.
| עֶרֶב וָבֹקֶר וְצׇהֳרַיִם אָשִׂיחָה וְאֶֽהֱמֶה וַיִּשְׁמַע קוֹלִֽי׃ | 17 |
In the evening, morning and at noonday I complain and moan; he will hear my voice.
| פָּדָה בְשָׁלוֹם נַפְשִׁי מִקְּרׇב־לִי כִּֽי־בְרַבִּים הָיוּ עִמָּדִֽי׃ | 18 |
He will safely rescue my life from the battle that was against me, for those who fought against me were many.
| יִשְׁמַע ׀ אֵל ׀ וְֽיַעֲנֵם וְיֹשֵׁב קֶדֶם סֶלָה אֲשֶׁר אֵין חֲלִיפוֹת לָמוֹ וְלֹא יָרְאוּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 19 |
God, the one who rules from eternity, will hear them and humiliate them. (Selah) They never change, and they do not fear God.
| שָׁלַח יָדָיו בִּשְׁלֹמָיו חִלֵּל בְּרִיתֽוֹ׃ | 20 |
My friend has raised his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has not respected the covenant that he had.
| חָלְקוּ ׀ מַחְמָאֹת פִּיו וּֽקְרָב־לִבּוֹ רַכּוּ דְבָרָיו מִשֶּׁמֶן וְהֵמָּה פְתִחֽוֹת׃ | 21 |
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was hostile; his words were softer than oil, yet they were actually drawn swords.
| הַשְׁלֵךְ עַל־יְהֹוָה ׀ יְהָבְךָ וְהוּא יְכַלְכְּלֶךָ לֹא־יִתֵּן לְעוֹלָם מוֹט לַצַּדִּֽיק׃ | 22 |
Place your burdens on Yahweh, and he will sustain you; he will never allow a righteous person to totter.
| וְאַתָּה אֱלֹהִים ׀ תּוֹרִדֵם ׀ לִבְאֵר שַׁחַת אַנְשֵׁי דָמִים וּמִרְמָה לֹא־יֶחֱצוּ יְמֵיהֶם וַאֲנִי אֶבְטַח־בָּֽךְ׃ | 23 |
But you, God, will bring the wicked down into the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live even half as long as others, but I will trust in you.
