תְהִלִּים 18
| לַמְנַצֵּ֤חַ ׀ לְעֶ֥בֶד יְהוָ֗ה לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁ֤ר דִּבֶּ֨ר ׀ לַיהוָ֗ה אֶת־דִּ֭בְרֵי הַשִּׁירָ֣ה הַזֹּ֑את בְּיֹ֤ום הִֽצִּיל־יְהוָ֘ה אֹותֹ֥ו מִכַּ֥ף כָּל־אֹ֝יְבָ֗יו וּמִיַּ֥ד שָׁאֽוּל׃ וַיֹּאמַ֡ר אֶרְחָמְךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה חִזְקִֽי׃ | 1 |
I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
| יְהוָ֤ה ׀ סַֽלְעִ֥י וּמְצוּדָתִ֗י וּמְפַ֫לְטִ֥י אֵלִ֣י צ֭וּרִי אֶֽחֱסֶה־בֹּ֑ו מָֽגִנִּ֥י וְקֶֽרֶן־יִ֝שְׁעִ֗י מִשְׂגַּבִּֽי׃ | 2 |
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
| מְ֭הֻלָּל אֶקְרָ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וּמִן־אֹ֝יְבַ֗י אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ | 3 |
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
| אֲפָפ֥וּנִי חֶבְלֵי־מָ֑וֶת וְֽנַחֲלֵ֖י בְלִיַּ֣עַל יְבַֽעֲתֽוּנִי׃ | 4 |
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
| חֶבְלֵ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ול סְבָב֑וּנִי קִ֝דְּמ֗וּנִי מֹ֣וקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 5 |
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. (Sheol h7585)
| בַּצַּר־לִ֤י ׀ אֶֽקְרָ֣א יְהוָה֮ וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַ֪י אֲשַׁ֫וֵּ֥עַ יִשְׁמַ֣ע מֵהֵיכָלֹ֣ו קֹולִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֤יו ׀ תָּבֹ֬וא בְאָזְנָֽיו׃ | 6 |
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
| וַתִּגְעַ֬שׁ וַתִּרְעַ֨שׁ ׀ הָאָ֗רֶץ וּמֹוסְדֵ֣י הָרִ֣ים יִרְגָּ֑זוּ וַ֝יִּתְגָּֽעֲשׁ֗וּ כִּי־חָ֥רָה לֹֽו׃ | 7 |
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was angry.
| עָ֘לָ֤ה עָשָׁ֨ן ׀ בְּאַפֹּ֗ו וְאֵשׁ־מִפִּ֥יו תֹּאכֵ֑ל גֶּ֝חָלִ֗ים בָּעֲר֥וּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 8 |
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
| וַיֵּ֣ט שָׁ֭מַיִם וַיֵּרַ֑ד וַ֝עֲרָפֶ֗ל תַּ֣חַת רַגְלֽ͏ָיו׃ | 9 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
| וַיִּרְכַּ֣ב עַל־כְּ֭רוּב וַיָּעֹ֑ף וַ֝יֵּ֗דֶא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 10 |
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
| יָ֤שֶׁת חֹ֨שֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְרֹ֗ו סְבִֽיבֹותָ֥יו סֻכָּתֹ֑ו חֶשְׁכַת־מַ֝֗יִם עָבֵ֥י שְׁחָקִֽים׃ | 11 |
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
| מִנֹּ֗גַהּ נֶ֫גְדֹּ֥ו עָבָ֥יו עָבְר֑וּ בָּ֝רָ֗ד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 12 |
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
| וַיַּרְעֵ֬ם בַּשָּׁמַ֨יִם ׀ יְֽהוָ֗ה וְ֭עֶלְיֹון יִתֵּ֣ן קֹלֹ֑ו בָּ֝רָ֗ד וְגַֽחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
| וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח חִ֭צָּיו וַיְפִיצֵ֑ם וּבְרָקִ֥ים רָ֝ב וַיְהֻמֵּֽם׃ | 14 |
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and humiliated them.
| וַיֵּ֤רָא֨וּ ׀ אֲפִ֥יקֵי מַ֗יִם וַֽיִּגָּלוּ֮ מֹוסְדֹ֪ות תֵּ֫בֵ֥ל מִגַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝נִּשְׁמַ֗ת ר֣וּחַ אַפֶּֽךָ׃ | 15 |
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
| יִשְׁלַ֣ח מִ֭מָּרֹום יִקָּחֵ֑נִי יַֽ֝מְשֵׁ֗נִי מִמַּ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 16 |
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
| יַצִּילֵ֗נִי מֵאֹיְבִ֥י עָ֑ז וּ֝מִשֹּׂנְאַ֗י כִּֽי־אָמְצ֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 17 |
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
| יְקַדְּמ֥וּנִי בְיֹום־אֵידִ֑י וַֽיְהִי־יְהוָ֖ה לְמִשְׁעָ֣ן לִֽי׃ | 18 |
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
| וַיֹּוצִיאֵ֥נִי לַמֶּרְחָ֑ב יְ֝חַלְּצֵ֗נִי כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ | 19 |
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
| יִגְמְלֵ֣נִי יְהוָ֣ה כְּצִדְקִ֑י כְּבֹ֥ר יָ֝דַ֗י יָשִׁ֥יב לִֽי׃ | 20 |
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
| כִּֽי־שָׁ֭מַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־רָ֝שַׁ֗עְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 21 |
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
| כִּ֣י כָל־מִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו לְנֶגְדִּ֑י וְ֝חֻקֹּתָ֗יו לֹא־אָסִ֥יר מֶֽנִּי׃ | 22 |
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
| וָאֱהִ֣י תָמִ֣ים עִמֹּ֑ו וָ֝אֶשְׁתַּמֵּ֗ר מֵעֲוֹנִֽי׃ | 23 |
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
| וַיָּֽשֶׁב־יְהוָ֣ה לִ֣י כְצִדְקִ֑י כְּבֹ֥ר יָ֝דַ֗י לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ | 24 |
Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
| עִם־חָסִ֥יד תִּתְחַסָּ֑ד עִם־גְּבַ֥ר תָּ֝מִ֗ים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ | 25 |
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
| עִם־נָבָ֥ר תִּתְבָּרָ֑ר וְעִם־עִ֝קֵּ֗שׁ תִּתְפַּתָּֽל׃ | 26 |
With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself perverse.
| כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה עַם־עָנִ֣י תֹושִׁ֑יעַ וְעֵינַ֖יִם רָמֹ֣ות תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃ | 27 |
For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
| כִּֽי־אַ֭תָּה תָּאִ֣יר נֵרִ֑י יְהוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י יַגִּ֥יהַּ חָשְׁכִּֽי׃ | 28 |
For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
| כִּֽי־בְ֭ךָ אָרֻ֣ץ גְּד֑וּד וּ֝בֵֽאלֹהַ֗י אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ | 29 |
For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
| הָאֵל֮ תָּמִ֪ים דַּ֫רְכֹּ֥ו אִמְרַֽת־יְהוָ֥ה צְרוּפָ֑ה מָגֵ֥ן ה֝֗וּא לְכֹ֤ל ׀ הַחֹסִ֬ים בֹּֽו׃ | 30 |
As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
| כִּ֤י מִ֣י אֱ֭לֹוהַּ מִבַּלְעֲדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וּמִ֥י צ֝֗וּר זוּלָתִ֥י אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ | 31 |
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
| הָ֭אֵל הַמְאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חָ֑יִל וַיִּתֵּ֖ן תָּמִ֣ים דַּרְכִּֽי׃ | 32 |
It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
| מְשַׁוֶּ֣ה רַ֭גְלַי כָּאַיָּלֹ֑ות וְעַ֥ל בָּ֝מֹתַ֗י יַעֲמִידֵֽנִי׃ | 33 |
He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
| מְלַמֵּ֣ד יָ֭דַי לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וְֽנִחֲתָ֥ה קֶֽשֶׁת־נְ֝חוּשָׁ֗ה זְרֹועֹתָֽי׃ | 34 |
He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי֮ מָגֵ֪ן יִ֫שְׁעֶ֥ךָ וִֽימִינְךָ֥ תִסְעָדֵ֑נִי וְֽעַנְוַתְךָ֥ תַרְבֵּֽנִי׃ | 35 |
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
| תַּרְחִ֣יב צַעֲדִ֣י תַחְתָּ֑י וְלֹ֥א מָ֝עֲד֗וּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ | 36 |
You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
| אֶרְדֹּ֣וף אֹ֭ויְבַי וְאַשִּׂיגֵ֑ם וְלֹֽא־אָ֝שׁוּב עַד־כַּלֹּותָֽם׃ | 37 |
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I return till they were consumed.
| אֶ֭מְחָצֵם וְלֹא־יֻ֣כְלוּ ק֑וּם יִ֝פְּל֗וּ תַּ֣חַת רַגְלָֽי׃ | 38 |
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
| וַתְּאַזְּרֵ֣נִי חַ֭יִל לַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה תַּכְרִ֖יעַ קָמַ֣י תַּחְתָּֽי׃ | 39 |
For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
| וְֽאֹיְבַ֗י נָתַ֣תָּה לִּ֣י עֹ֑רֶף וּ֝מְשַׂנְאַ֗י אַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ | 40 |
You have also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
| יְשַׁוְּע֥וּ וְאֵין־מֹושִׁ֑יעַ עַל־יְ֝הוָ֗ה וְלֹ֣א עָנָֽם׃ | 41 |
They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
| וְֽאֶשְׁחָקֵ֗ם כְּעָפָ֥ר עַל־פְּנֵי־ר֑וּחַ כְּטִ֖יט חוּצֹ֣ות אֲרִיקֵֽם׃ | 42 |
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
| תְּפַלְּטֵנִי֮ מֵרִ֪יבֵ֫י עָ֥ם תְּ֭שִׂימֵנִי לְרֹ֣אשׁ גֹּויִ֑ם עַ֖ם לֹא־יָדַ֣עְתִּי יַֽעַבְדֽוּנִי׃ | 43 |
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
| לְשֵׁ֣מַֽע אֹ֭זֶן יִשָּׁ֣מְעוּ לִ֑י בְּנֵֽי־נֵ֝כָ֗ר יְכַחֲשׁוּ־לִֽי׃ | 44 |
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
| בְּנֵי־נֵכָ֥ר יִבֹּ֑לוּ וְ֝יַחְרְג֗וּ מִֽמִּסְגְּרֹֽותֵיהֶֽם׃ | 45 |
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
| חַי־יְ֭הוָה וּבָר֣וּךְ צוּרִ֑י וְ֝יָר֗וּם אֱלֹוהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃ | 46 |
The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
| הָאֵ֗ל הַנֹּותֵ֣ן נְקָמֹ֣ות לִ֑י וַיַּדְבֵּ֖ר עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽי׃ | 47 |
It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
| מְפַלְּטִ֗י מֵאֹ֫יְבָ֥י אַ֣ף מִן־קָ֭מַי תְּרֹומְמֵ֑נִי מֵאִ֥ישׁ חָ֝מָ֗ס תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 48 |
He delivers me from mine enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
| עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ אֹודְךָ֖ בַגֹּויִ֥ם ׀ יְהוָ֑ה וּלְשִׁמְךָ֥ אֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃ | 49 |
Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
| מִגְדֹּל (מַגְדִּיל֮) יְשׁוּעֹ֪ות מַ֫לְכֹּ֥ו וְעֹ֤שֶׂה חֶ֨סֶד ׀ לִמְשִׁיחֹ֗ו לְדָוִ֥ד וּלְזַרְעֹ֗ו עַד־עֹולָֽם׃ | 50 |
Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
