תְהִלִּים 36

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ לְעֶֽבֶד־יְהוָ֬ה לְדָוִֽד׃ נְאֻֽם־פֶּ֣שַׁע לָ֭רָשָׁע בְּקֶ֣רֶב לִבִּ֑י אֵֽין־פַּ֥חַד אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים לְנֶ֣גֶד עֵינָֽיו׃

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.

2 כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִ֣יק אֵלָ֣יו בְּעֵינָ֑יו לִמְצֹ֖א עֲוֹנֹ֣ו לִשְׂנֹֽא׃

For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.

3 דִּבְרֵי־פִ֭יו אָ֣וֶן וּמִרְמָ֑ה חָדַ֖ל לְהַשְׂכִּ֣יל לְהֵיטִֽיב׃

The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.

4 אָ֤וֶן ׀ יַחְשֹׁ֗ב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּ֫בֹ֥ו יִ֭תְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּ֣רֶךְ לֹא־טֹ֑וב רָ֝֗ע לֹ֣א יִמְאָֽס׃

Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.

5 יְ֭הוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽים׃

Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.

6 צִדְקָֽתְךָ֨ ׀ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵ֗ל מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶךָ תְּהֹ֣ום רַבָּ֑ה אָ֤דָֽם־וּבְהֵמָ֖ה תֹושִׁ֣יעַ יְהוָֽה׃

Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.

7 מַה־יָּקָ֥ר חַסְדְּךָ֗ אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים וּבְנֵ֥י אָדָ֑ם בְּצֵ֥ל כְּ֝נָפֶ֗יךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּן׃

How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.

8 יִ֭רְוְיֻן מִדֶּ֣שֶׁן בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וְנַ֖חַל עֲדָנֶ֣יךָ תַשְׁקֵֽם׃

They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.

9 כִּֽי־עִ֭מְּךָ מְקֹ֣ור חַיִּ֑ים בְּ֝אֹורְךָ֗ נִרְאֶה־אֹֽור׃

For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.

10 מְשֹׁ֣ךְ חַ֭סְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶ֑יךָ וְ֝צִדְקָֽתְךָ֗ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.

11 אַל־תְּ֭בֹואֵנִי רֶ֣גֶל גַּאֲוָ֑ה וְיַד־רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִי׃

Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.

12 שָׁ֣ם נָ֭פְלוּ פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן דֹּ֝ח֗וּ וְלֹא־יָ֥כְלוּ קֽוּם׃

There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
