< תהילים 56 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַל־יוֹנַת אֵלֶם רְחֹקִים לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם בֶּאֱחֹז אוֹתוֹ פְלִשְׁתִּים בְּגַֽת׃ חׇנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּֽי־שְׁאָפַנִי אֱנוֹשׁ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם לֹחֵם יִלְחָצֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
שָׁאֲפוּ שׁוֹרְרַי כׇּל־הַיּוֹם כִּֽי־רַבִּים לֹחֲמִים לִי מָרֽוֹם׃ | 2 |
My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
יוֹם אִירָא אֲנִי אֵלֶיךָ אֶבְטָֽח׃ | 3 |
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
בֵּאלֹהִים אֲהַלֵּל דְּבָרוֹ בֵּאלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה בָשָׂר לִֽי׃ | 4 |
In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
כׇּל־הַיּוֹם דְּבָרַי יְעַצֵּבוּ עָלַי כׇּל־מַחְשְׁבֹתָם לָרָֽע׃ | 5 |
All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
יָגוּרוּ ׀ (יצפינו) [יִצְפּוֹנוּ] הֵמָּה עֲקֵבַי יִשְׁמֹרוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר קִוּוּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | 6 |
They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.
עַל־אָוֶן פַּלֶּט־לָמוֹ בְּאַף עַמִּים ׀ הוֹרֵד אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 7 |
Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
נֹדִי סָפַרְתָּה אָתָּה שִׂימָה דִמְעָתִי בְנֹאדֶךָ הֲלֹא בְּסִפְרָתֶֽךָ׃ | 8 |
You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?
אָז יָשׁוּבוּ אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא זֶה־יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִים לִֽי׃ | 9 |
Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.
בֵּאלֹהִים אֲהַלֵּל דָּבָר בַּיהֹוָה אֲהַלֵּל דָּבָֽר׃ | 10 |
In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.
בֵּאלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי לֹּא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה אָדָם לִֽי׃ | 11 |
I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
עָלַי אֱלֹהִים נְדָרֶיךָ אֲשַׁלֵּם תּוֹדֹת לָֽךְ׃ | 12 |
Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
כִּי הִצַּלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶת הֲלֹא רַגְלַי מִדֶּחִי לְהִֽתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים בְּאוֹר הַחַיִּֽים׃ | 13 |
For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
