< תהילים 7 >

שִׁגָּיוֹן לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁר לַֽיהֹוָה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כוּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ חָסִיתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִכׇּל־רֹדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ 1
The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ 2
Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ 3
O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
אִם־גָּמַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צֽוֹרְרִי רֵיקָֽם׃ 4
If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
יִרַדֹּֽף־אוֹיֵב ׀ נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבוֹדִי ׀ לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶֽלָה׃ 5
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
קוּמָה יְהֹוָה ׀ בְּאַפֶּךָ הִנָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרוֹת צוֹרְרָי וְעוּרָה אֵלַי מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ 6
Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים תְּסֽוֹבְבֶךָּ וְעָלֶיהָ לַמָּרוֹם שֽׁוּבָה׃ 7
And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
יְהֹוָה יָדִין עַמִּים שׇׁפְטֵנִי יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָֽי׃ 8
The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
יִגְמׇר־נָא רַע ׀ רְשָׁעִים וּתְכוֹנֵן צַדִּיק וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת וּכְלָיוֹת אֱלֹהִים צַדִּֽיק׃ 9
The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
מָגִנִּי עַל־אֱלֹהִים מוֹשִׁיעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ 10
Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
אֱלֹהִים שׁוֹפֵט צַדִּיק וְאֵל זֹעֵם בְּכׇל־יֽוֹם׃ 11
God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּב חַרְבּוֹ יִלְטוֹשׁ קַשְׁתּוֹ דָרַךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ 12
Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
וְלוֹ הֵכִין כְּלֵי־מָוֶת חִצָּיו לְֽדֹלְקִים יִפְעָֽל׃ 13
And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל־אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ 14
Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
בּוֹר כָּרָה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָֽל׃ 15
He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
יָשׁוּב עֲמָלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ וְעַל קׇדְקֳדוֹ חֲמָסוֹ יֵרֵֽד׃ 16
His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ 17
I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
