תְהִלִּים 109
| לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמֹ֑ור אֱלֹהֵ֥י תְ֝הִלָּתִ֗י אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃ | 1 |
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” O God of my praise! be not silent!
| כִּ֤י פִ֪י רָשָׁ֡ע וּֽפִי־מִ֭רְמָה עָלַ֣י פָּתָ֑חוּ דִּבְּר֥וּ אִ֝תִּ֗י לְשֹׁ֣ון שָֽׁקֶר׃ | 2 |
For the mouths of the wicked and the deceitful are opened against me; They speak against me with a lying tongue.
| וְדִבְרֵ֣י שִׂנְאָ֣ה סְבָב֑וּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמ֥וּנִי חִנָּֽם׃ | 3 |
They assault me on every side with words of hatred; They fight against me without a cause.
| תַּֽחַת־אַהֲבָתִ֥י יִשְׂטְנ֗וּנִי וַאֲנִ֥י תְפִלָּֽה׃ | 4 |
For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer.
| וַיָּ֘שִׂ֤ימוּ עָלַ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טֹובָ֑ה וְ֝שִׂנְאָ֗ה תַּ֣חַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃ | 5 |
They repay me evil for good, And hatred for love.
| הַפְקֵ֣ד עָלָ֣יו רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝שָׂטָ֗ן יַעֲמֹ֥ד עַל־יְמִינֹֽו׃ | 6 |
Set thou a wicked man over him, And let an adversary stand at his right hand!
| בְּ֭הִשָּׁ֣פְטֹו יֵצֵ֣א רָשָׁ֑ע וּ֝תְפִלָּתֹ֗ו תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַֽחֲטָאָֽה׃ | 7 |
When he is judged, may he be condemned, And may his prayer be a crime!
| יִֽהְיֽוּ־יָמָ֥יו מְעַטִּ֑ים פְּ֝קֻדָּתֹ֗ו יִקַּ֥ח אַחֵֽר׃ | 8 |
May his days be few, And another take his office!
| יִֽהְיוּ־בָנָ֥יו יְתֹומִ֑ים וְ֝אִשְׁתֹּו אַלְמָנָֽה׃ | 9 |
May his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow!
| וְנֹ֤ועַ יָנ֣וּעוּ בָנָ֣יו וְשִׁאֵ֑לוּ וְ֝דָרְשׁ֗וּ מֵחָרְבֹותֵיהֶֽם׃ | 10 |
May his children be vagabonds and beggars, And from their ruined dwellings seek their bread!
| יְנַקֵּ֣שׁ נֹ֭ושֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֑ו וְיָבֹ֖זּוּ זָרִ֣ים יְגִיעֹֽו׃ | 11 |
May a creditor seize on all that he hath, And a stranger plunder his substance!
| אַל־יְהִי־לֹ֖ו מֹשֵׁ֣ךְ חָ֑סֶד וְֽאַל־יְהִ֥י חֹ֝ונֵ֗ן לִיתֹומָֽיו׃ | 12 |
May there be none to show him compassion, And none to pity his fatherless children!
| יְהִֽי־אַחֲרִיתֹ֥ו לְהַכְרִ֑ית בְּדֹ֥ור אַ֝חֵ֗ר יִמַּ֥ח שְׁמָֽם׃ | 13 |
May his posterity be cut off; In the next generation may his name be blotted out!
| יִזָּכֵ֤ר ׀ עֲוֹ֣ן אֲ֭בֹתָיו אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה וְחַטַּ֥את אִ֝מֹּ֗ו אַל־תִּמָּֽח׃ | 14 |
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD, And may the sin of his mother never be blotted out!
| יִהְי֣וּ נֶֽגֶד־יְהוָ֣ה תָּמִ֑יד וְיַכְרֵ֖ת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ | 15 |
May they be before the LORD continually; And may he cut off their memory from the earth!
| יַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א זָכַר֮ עֲשֹׂ֪ות חָ֥סֶד וַיִּרְדֹּ֡ף אִישׁ־עָנִ֣י וְ֭אֶבְיֹון וְנִכְאֵ֨ה לֵבָ֬ב לְמֹותֵֽת׃ | 16 |
Because he remembered not to show pity, But persecuted the afflicted and the poor man, And sought the death of the broken-hearted.
| וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ב קְ֭לָלָה וַתְּבֹואֵ֑הוּ וְֽלֹא־חָפֵ֥ץ בִּ֝בְרָכָ֗ה וַתִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 17 |
As he loved cursing, let it come upon him; As he delighted not in blessing, let it be far from him!
| וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ קְלָלָ֗ה כְּמַ֫דֹּ֥ו וַתָּבֹ֣א כַמַּ֣יִם בְּקִרְבֹּ֑ו וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן בְּעַצְמֹותָֽיו׃ | 18 |
May he be clothed with cursing as with a garment; May it enter like water into his bowels, And like oil into his bones!
| תְּהִי־לֹ֖ו כְּבֶ֣גֶד יַעְטֶ֑ה וּ֝לְמֵ֗זַח תָּמִ֥יד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃ | 19 |
May it be to him like the robe that covereth him, Like the girdle with which he is constantly girded!
| זֹ֤את פְּעֻלַּ֣ת שֹׂ֭טְנַי מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְהַדֹּבְרִ֥ים רָ֝֗ע עַל־נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | 20 |
May this be the wages of mine adversaries from the LORD, And of them that speak evil against me!
| וְאַתָּ֤ה ׀ יְה֘וִ֤ה אֲדֹנָ֗י עֲֽשֵׂה־אִ֭תִּי לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּי־טֹ֥וב חַ֝סְדְּךָ֗ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 21 |
But do thou, O LORD, my God! take part with me, For thine own name's sake! Because great is thy mercy, O deliver me!
| כִּֽי־עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְיֹ֣ון אָנֹ֑כִי וְ֝לִבִּ֗י חָלַ֥ל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃ | 22 |
For I am afflicted and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
| כְּצֵל־כִּנְטֹותֹ֥ו נֶהֱלָ֑כְתִּי נִ֝נְעַ֗רְתִּי כָּֽאַרְבֶּֽה׃ | 23 |
I am going like a shadow; I am driven away as the locust.
| בִּ֭רְכַּי כָּשְׁל֣וּ מִצֹּ֑ום וּ֝בְשָׂרִ֗י כָּחַ֥שׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃ | 24 |
My knees totter from fasting, And my flesh faileth of fatness.
| וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ הָיִ֣יתִי חֶרְפָּ֣ה לָהֶ֑ם יִ֝רְא֗וּנִי יְנִיע֥וּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃ | 25 |
I am a reproach to my enemies; They gaze at me; they shake their heads.
| עָ֭זְרֵנִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י הֹ֭ושִׁיעֵ֣נִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃ | 26 |
Help me, O LORD, my God! O save me, according to thy mercy!
| וְֽ֭יֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָ֣דְךָ זֹּ֑את אַתָּ֖ה יְהוָ֣ה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃ | 27 |
That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, O Lord! hast done it!
| יְקַֽלְלוּ־הֵמָּה֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תְבָ֫רֵ֥ךְ קָ֤מוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹ֗שׁוּ וְֽעַבְדְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמָֽח׃ | 28 |
Let them curse, but do thou bless! When they arise, let them be put to shame; But let thy servant rejoice!
| יִלְבְּשׁ֣וּ שֹׂוטְנַ֣י כְּלִמָּ֑ה וְיַעֲט֖וּ כַמְעִ֣יל בָּשְׁתָּֽם׃ | 29 |
May my enemies be clothed with ignominy; May they be covered with their shame, as with a mantle!
| אֹ֘ודֶ֤ה יְהוָ֣ה מְאֹ֣ד בְּפִ֑י וּבְתֹ֖וךְ רַבִּ֣ים אֲהַֽלְלֶֽנּוּ׃ | 30 |
I will earnestly praise the LORD with my lips; In the midst of the multitude I will praise him.
| כִּֽי־יַ֭עֲמֹד לִימִ֣ין אֶבְיֹ֑ון לְ֝הֹושִׁ֗יעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵ֥י נַפְשֹֽׁו׃ | 31 |
For he standeth at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who would condemn him.
