< תְהִלִּים 55 >
לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינֹ֗ת מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃ הַאֲזִ֣ינָה אֱ֭לֹהִים תְּפִלָּתִ֑י וְאַל־תִּ֝תְעַלַּ֗ם מִתְּחִנָּתִֽי׃ | 1 |
Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:
הַקְשִׁ֣יבָה לִּ֣י וַעֲנֵ֑נִי אָרִ֖יד בְּשִׂיחִ֣י וְאָהִֽימָה׃ | 2 |
Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,
מִקֹּ֤ול אֹויֵ֗ב מִפְּנֵ֣י עָקַ֣ת רָשָׁ֑ע כִּי־יָמִ֥יטוּ עָלַ֥י אָ֝֗וֶן וּבְאַ֥ף יִשְׂטְמֽוּנִי׃ | 3 |
At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
לִ֭בִּי יָחִ֣יל בְּקִרְבִּ֑י וְאֵימֹ֥ות מָ֝֗וֶת נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃ | 4 |
My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
יִרְאָ֣ה וָ֭רַעַד יָ֣בֹא בִ֑י וַ֝תְּכַסֵּ֗נִי פַּלָּצֽוּת׃ | 5 |
Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.
וָאֹמַ֗ר מִֽי־יִתֶּן־לִּ֣י אֵ֭בֶר כַּיֹּונָ֗ה אָע֥וּפָה וְאֶשְׁכֹּֽנָה׃ | 6 |
And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
הִ֭נֵּה אַרְחִ֣יק נְדֹ֑ד אָלִ֖ין בַּמִּדְבָּ֣ר סֶֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness.
אָחִ֣ישָׁה מִפְלָ֣ט לִ֑י מֵר֖וּחַ סֹעָ֣ה מִסָּֽעַר׃ | 8 |
I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
בַּלַּ֣ע אֲ֭דֹנָי פַּלַּ֣ג לְשֹׁונָ֑ם כִּֽי־רָאִ֨יתִי חָמָ֖ס וְרִ֣יב בָּעִֽיר׃ | 9 |
Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
יֹומָ֤ם וָלַ֗יְלָה יְסֹובְבֻ֥הָ עַל־חֹומֹתֶ֑יהָ וְאָ֖וֶן וְעָמָ֣ל בְּקִרְבָּֽהּ׃ | 10 |
Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
הַוֹּ֥ות בְּקִרְבָּ֑הּ וְֽלֹא־יָמִ֥ישׁ מֵ֝רְחֹבָ֗הּ תֹּ֣ךְ וּמִרְמָֽה׃ | 11 |
And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.
כִּ֤י לֹֽא־אֹויֵ֥ב יְחָֽרְפֵ֗נִי וְאֶ֫שָּׂ֥א לֹֽא־מְ֭שַׂנְאִי עָלַ֣י הִגְדִּ֑יל וְאֶסָּתֵ֥ר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 12 |
For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
וְאַתָּ֣ה אֱנֹ֣ושׁ כְּעֶרְכִּ֑י אַ֝לּוּפִ֗י וּמְיֻדָּֽעִי׃ | 13 |
But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,
אֲשֶׁ֣ר יַ֭חְדָּו נַמְתִּ֣יק סֹ֑וד בְּבֵ֥ית אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים נְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בְּרָֽגֶשׁ׃ | 14 |
Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.
יַשִּׁימָוֶת (יַשִּׁ֤י מָ֨וֶת) ׀ עָלֵ֗ימֹו יֵרְד֣וּ שְׁאֹ֣ול חַיִּ֑ים כִּֽי־רָעֹ֖ות בִּמְגוּרָ֣ם בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃ (Sheol ) | 15 |
Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them. (Sheol )
אֲ֭נִי אֶל־אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֶקְרָ֑א וַ֝יהוָ֗ה יֹושִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ | 16 |
But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
עֶ֤רֶב וָבֹ֣קֶר וְ֭צָהֳרַיִם אָשִׂ֣יחָה וְאֶהֱמֶ֑ה וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע קֹולִֽי׃ | 17 |
Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.
פָּ֘דָ֤ה בְשָׁלֹ֣ום נַ֭פְשִׁי מִקֲּרָב־לִ֑י כִּֽי־בְ֝רַבִּ֗ים הָי֥וּ עִמָּדִֽי׃ | 18 |
He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.
יִשְׁמַ֤ע ׀ אֵ֨ל ׀ וֽ͏ְיַעֲנֵם֮ וְיֹ֤שֵׁ֥ב קֶ֗דֶם סֶ֥לָה אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵ֣ין חֲלִיפֹ֣ות לָ֑מֹו וְלֹ֖א יָרְא֣וּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 19 |
God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
שָׁלַ֣ח יָ֭דָיו בִּשְׁלֹמָ֗יו חִלֵּ֥ל בְּרִיתֹֽו׃ | 20 |
He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,
חָלְק֤וּ ׀ מַחְמָאֹ֣ת פִּיו֮ וּֽקֲרָב־לִ֫בֹּ֥ו רַכּ֖וּ דְבָרָ֥יו מִשֶּׁ֗מֶן וְהֵ֣מָּה פְתִחֹֽות׃ | 21 |
They are divided by the wrath Of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.
הַשְׁלֵ֤ךְ עַל־יְהוָ֨ה ׀ יְהָבְךָ֮ וְה֪וּא יְכַ֫לְכְּלֶ֥ךָ לֹא־יִתֵּ֖ן לְעֹולָ֥ם מֹ֗וט לַצַּדִּֽיק׃ | 22 |
Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
וְאַתָּ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ תֹּורִדֵ֬ם ׀ לִבְאֵ֬ר שַׁ֗חַת אַנְשֵׁ֤י דָמִ֣ים וּ֭מִרְמָה לֹא־יֶחֱצ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶבְטַח־בָּֽךְ׃ | 23 |
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, O Lord.
