< תְהִלִּים 7 >
שִׁגָּיֹ֗ון לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֥ר לַיהוָ֑ה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כ֝֗וּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּךָ֣ חָסִ֑יתִי הֹושִׁיעֵ֥נִי מִכָּל־רֹ֝דְפַ֗י וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in you have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
פֶּן־יִטְרֹ֣ף כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י פֹּ֝רֵ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃ | 2 |
Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂ֣יתִי זֹ֑את אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ | 3 |
O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
אִם־גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֹֽׁולְמִ֥י רָ֑ע וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה צֹורְרִ֣י רֵיקָֽם׃ | 4 |
if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
יִֽרַדֹּ֥ף אֹויֵ֨ב ׀ נַפְשִׁ֡י וְיַשֵּׂ֗ג וְיִרְמֹ֣ס לָאָ֣רֶץ חַיָּ֑י וּכְבֹודִ֓י ׀ לֶעָפָ֖ר יַשְׁכֵּ֣ן סֶֽלָה׃ | 5 |
Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ בְּאַפֶּ֗ךָ הִ֭נָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרֹ֣ות צֹורְרָ֑י וְע֥וּרָה אֵ֝לַ֗י מִשְׁפָּ֥ט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ | 6 |
Arise, O Lord, in your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
וַעֲדַ֣ת לְ֭אֻמִּים תְּסֹובְבֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ לַמָּרֹ֥ום שֽׁוּבָה׃ | 7 |
And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
יְהוָה֮ יָדִ֪ין עַ֫מִּ֥ים שָׁפְטֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כְּצִדְקִ֖י וּכְתֻמִּ֣י עָלָֽי׃ | 8 |
The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
יִגְמָר־נָ֬א רַ֨ע ׀ רְשָׁעִים֮ וּתְכֹונֵ֪ן צַ֫דִּ֥יק וּבֹחֵ֣ן לִ֭בֹּ֗ות וּכְלָיֹ֗ות אֱלֹהִ֥ים צַדּֽ͏ִיק׃ | 9 |
Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins.
מָֽגִנִּ֥י עַל־אֱלֹהִ֑ים מֹ֝ושִׁ֗יעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ | 10 |
My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
אֱ֭לֹהִים שֹׁופֵ֣ט צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝אֵ֗ל זֹעֵ֥ם בְּכָל־יֹֽום׃ | 11 |
God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
אִם־לֹ֣א יָ֭שׁוּב חַרְבֹּ֣ו יִלְטֹ֑ושׁ קַשְׁתֹּ֥ו דָ֝רַ֗ךְ וַֽיְכֹונְנֶֽהָ׃ | 12 |
If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
וְ֭לֹו הֵכִ֣ין כְּלֵי־מָ֑וֶת חִ֝צָּ֗יו לְֽדֹלְקִ֥ים יִפְעָֽל׃ | 13 |
And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
הִנֵּ֥ה יְחַבֶּל־אָ֑וֶן וְהָרָ֥ה עָ֝מָ֗ל וְיָ֣לַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ | 14 |
Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
בֹּ֣ור כָּ֭רָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵ֑הוּ וַ֝יִּפֹּ֗ל בְּשַׁ֣חַת יִפְעָֽל׃ | 15 |
He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
יָשׁ֣וּב עֲמָלֹ֣ו בְרֹאשֹׁ֑ו וְעַ֥ל קָ֝דְקֳדֹ֗ו חֲמָסֹ֥ו יֵרֵֽד׃ | 16 |
His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
אֹודֶ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה כְּצִדְקֹ֑ו וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה עֶלְיֹֽון׃ | 17 |
I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
