תְהִלִּים 9

1 לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמ֥וּת לַבֵּ֗ן מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֹודֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּ֑י אֲ֝סַפְּרָ֗ה כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' — A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

2 אֶשְׂמְחָ֣ה וְאֶעֶלְצָ֣ה בָ֑ךְ אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֹֽון׃

I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

3 בְּשׁוּב־אֹויְבַ֥י אָחֹ֑ור יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ וְ֝יֹאבְד֗וּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

4 כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שֹׁופֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃

For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

5 גָּעַ֣רְתָּ גֹ֭ויִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע שְׁמָ֥ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְעֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

6 הָֽאֹויֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָבֹ֗ות לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

7 וַֽ֭יהוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם יֵשֵׁ֑ב כֹּונֵ֖ן לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט כִּסְאֹֽו׃

And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.

8 וְה֗וּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק יָדִ֥ין לְ֝אֻמִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרֽ͏ִים׃

And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

9 וִ֘יהִ֤י יְהוָ֣ה מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לַדָּ֑ךְ מִ֝שְׂגָּ֗ב לְעִתֹּ֥ות בַּצָּרָֽה׃

And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

10 וְיִבְטְח֣וּ בְ֭ךָ יֹודְעֵ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־עָזַ֖בְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

11 זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה יֹשֵׁ֣ב צִיֹּ֑ון הַגִּ֥ידוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִֽילֹותָֽיו׃

Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

12 כִּֽי־דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אֹותָ֣ם זָכָ֑ר לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח צַעֲקַ֥ת עֲנִיִּים (עֲנָוֽ͏ִים)׃

For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

13 חָֽנְנֵ֬נִי יְהוָ֗ה רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָ֑י מְ֝רֹומְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

14 לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיֹּ֑ון אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

15 טָבְע֣וּ גֹ֭ויִם בְּשַׁ֣חַת עָשׂ֑וּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־ז֥וּ טָ֝מָ֗נוּ נִלְכְּדָ֥ה רַגְלָֽם׃

Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

16 נֹ֤ודַ֨ע ׀ יְהוָה֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בְּפֹ֣עַל כַּ֭פָּיו נֹוקֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֑ע הִגָּיֹ֥ון סֶֽלָה׃

Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. (Meditation, Selah)

17 יָשׁ֣וּבוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים לִשְׁאֹ֑ולָה כָּל־גֹּ֝ויִ֗ם שְׁכֵחֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ (Sheol h7585)

The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)

18 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לָ֭נֶצַח יִשָּׁכַ֣ח אֶבְיֹ֑ון תִּקְוַ֥ת עֲנָוִים (עֲ֝נִיִּ֗ים) תֹּאבַ֥ד לָעַֽד׃

For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

19 קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־יָעֹ֣ז אֱנֹ֑ושׁ יִשָּׁפְט֥וּ גֹ֝ויִ֗ם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

20 שִׁ֘יתָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מֹורָ֗ה לָ֫הֶ֥ם יֵדְע֥וּ גֹויִ֑ם אֱנֹ֖ושׁ הֵ֣מָּה סֶּֽלָה׃

Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
