שמואל ב 22
| וַיְדַבֵּר דָּוִד לַֽיהוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיוֹם הִצִּיל יְהוָה אֹתוֹ מִכַּף כָּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִכַּף שָׁאֽוּל׃ | 1 |
And David spoke unto the Lord the words of this song, and on the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
| וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה סַֽלְעִי וּמְצֻדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי־לִֽי׃ | 2 |
And he said, Lord, my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;
| אֱלֹהֵי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בּוֹ מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי מֹשִׁעִי מֵחָמָס תֹּשִׁעֵֽנִי׃ | 3 |
God, my rock, in whom I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour! from violence dost thou save me!
| מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וּמֵאֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ | 4 |
Praised, I cried, be the Lord, and from my enemies was I saved.
| כִּי אֲפָפֻנִי מִשְׁבְּרֵי־מָוֶת נַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתֻֽנִי׃ | 5 |
For the waves of death encompassed me, the floods of destruction made me afraid;
| חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סַבֻּנִי קִדְּמֻנִי מֹֽקְשֵׁי־מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
The bonds of hell encircled me, the snares of death seized on me: (Sheol h7585)
| בַּצַּר־לִי אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵֽיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאָזְנָֽיו׃ | 7 |
[When] in my distress I called upon the Lord, and to my God I cried; and he heard from his temple my voice, and my complaint [entered] into his ears.
| ותגעש וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ מוֹסְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּֽתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּֽי־חָרָה לֽוֹ׃ | 8 |
Then shook and trembled the earth; the foundations of the heavens were moved; and they shook, because he was wroth.
| עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 9 |
Smoke went up in his anger, and consuming fire out of his mouth, coals flamed forth from him.
| וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 10 |
And he bent the heavens, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
| וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּרָא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 11 |
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew along, and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
| וַיָּשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ סְבִיבֹתָיו סֻכּוֹת חַֽשְׁרַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִֽים׃ | 12 |
And he made darkness round about him into pavilions, heavy masses of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
| מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדּוֹ בָּעֲרוּ גַּחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
From the brightness before him flamed forth coals of fire.
| יַרְעֵם מִן־שָׁמַיִם יְהוָה וְעֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּן קוֹלֽוֹ׃ | 14 |
The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered forth his voice.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצִּים וַיְפִיצֵם בָּרָק ויהמם וַיָּהֹֽם׃ | 15 |
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
| וַיֵּֽרָאוּ אֲפִקֵי יָם יִגָּלוּ מֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל בְּגַעֲרַת יְהוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפּֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
And then were seen the channels of the sea, there were laid open the foundations of the world; at the rebuke of the Lord, through the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
| יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵנִי יַֽמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 17 |
He stretched out from above [his hand], he took me; he drew me out from the mighty waters.
| יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז מִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 18 |
He delivered me from my enemy, the strong, from those that hated me, when they were too mighty for me.
| יְקַדְּמֻנִי בְּיוֹם אֵידִי וַיְהִי יְהוָה מִשְׁעָן לִֽי׃ | 19 |
They overcame me on the day of my calamity; but the Lord became my stay;
| וַיֹּצֵא לַמֶּרְחָב אֹתִי יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי־חָפֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ | 20 |
And he brought me forth into a large space: he delivered me, because he had delight in me.
| יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִֽי׃ | 21 |
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the purity of my hands did he recompense me.
| כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 22 |
For I had kept the ways of the Lord, and had not wickedly departed from my God.
| כִּי כָל־משפטו מִשְׁפָּטָיו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסוּר מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ | 23 |
For all his ordinances were before me, and from none of his statutes did I depart.
| וָאֶהְיֶה תָמִים לוֹ וָאֶשְׁתַּמְּרָה מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃ | 24 |
I was also upright toward him, and I guarded myself against my iniquity.
| וַיָּשֶׁב יְהוָה לִי כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹרִי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ | 25 |
Therefore did the Lord recompense me according to my righteousness, according to my purity before his eyes.
| עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גִּבּוֹר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ | 26 |
With the kind thou wilt show thyself kind; with the upright mighty man thou wilt show thyself upright.
| עִם־נָבָר תִּתָּבָר וְעִם־עִקֵּשׁ תִּתַּפָּֽל׃ | 27 |
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt wage a contest.
| וְאֶת־עַם עָנִי תּוֹשִׁיעַ וְעֵינֶיךָ עַל־רָמִים תַּשְׁפִּֽיל׃ | 28 |
And the afflicted people thou wilt save; but thy eyes are upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה נֵירִי יְהוָה וַיהוָה יַגִּיהַּ חָשְׁכִּֽי׃ | 29 |
For thou art my lamp, O Lord! and the Lord will enlighten my darkness.
| כִּי בְכָה אָרוּץ גְּדוּד בֵּאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ | 30 |
For [aided] by thee I run through a troop: [helped] by my God I leap over a wall.
| הָאֵל תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ אִמְרַת יְהוָה צְרוּפָה מָגֵן הוּא לְכֹל הַחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ | 31 |
As for God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried; he is a shield to all that trust in him.
| כִּי מִי־אֵל מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהוָה וּמִי צוּר מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ | 32 |
For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?
| הָאֵל מָעוּזִּי חָיִל וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים דרכו דַּרְכִּֽי׃ | 33 |
God is my strength and power; and he rendereth free from obstruction my way.
| מְשַׁוֶּה רגליו רַגְלַי כָּאַיָּלוֹת וְעַל בָּמוֹתַי יַעֲמִדֵֽנִי׃ | 34 |
He maketh my feet like those of the hinds, and upon my high places he causeth me to stand.
| מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחַת קֶֽשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹעֹתָֽי׃ | 35 |
He teaches my hands for the war, so that a brazen bow is bent by my arms.
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וַעֲנֹתְךָ תַּרְבֵּֽנִי׃ | 36 |
And thou gavest me the shield of thy salvation; and thy assistance hath made me great.
| תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַּחְתֵּנִי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ | 37 |
Thou enlargest my steps under me, so that my joints do not slip.
| אֶרְדְּפָה אֹיְבַי וָאַשְׁמִידֵם וְלֹא אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ | 38 |
I pursue my enemies and destroy them; and I return not again until I have made an end of them.
| וָאֲכַלֵּם וָאֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא יְקוּמוּן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָֽי׃ | 39 |
And I make an end of them, and I crush them, that they cannot rise; and they fall under my feet.
| וַתַּזְרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 40 |
For thou hast girded me with strength for the war; thou subduest my opponents under me.
| וְאֹיְבַי תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף מְשַׂנְאַי וָאַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ | 41 |
And my enemies thou causest to turn their back to me; those that hate me, —that I may destroy them.
| יִשְׁעוּ וְאֵין מֹשִׁיעַ אֶל־יְהוָה וְלֹא עָנָֽם׃ | 42 |
They look about, but there is none to help; unto the Lord—but he answereth them not.
| וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כַּעֲפַר־אָרֶץ כְּטִיט־חוּצוֹת אֲדִקֵּם אֶרְקָעֵֽם׃ | 43 |
And I beat them small as the dust of the earth; as the mire of the street, I stamp them, I tread them down.
| וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻֽנִי׃ | 44 |
Thou hast also delivered me from the contests of my people: thou preservest me to be the head of nations, a people which I know not shall serve me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִתְכַּֽחֲשׁוּ־לִי לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִֽי׃ | 45 |
The children of the stranger shall utter flattery unto me; as soon as their ear heareth they shall be obedient unto me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְגְּרוּ מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָֽם׃ | 46 |
The children of the stranger shall fade away, and come forth tottering out of their close places.
| חַי־יְהוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר יִשְׁעִֽי׃ | 47 |
The Lord liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, the Rock of my salvation;
| הָאֵל הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי וּמוֹרִיד עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 48 |
The God, that granteth me vengeance, and bringeth down nations under me;
| וּמוֹצִיאִי מֵאֹֽיְבָי וּמִקָּמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 49 |
And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: also above my opponents thou liftest me up, from the man of violence thou deliverest me.
| עַל־כֵּן אוֹדְךָ יְהוָה בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּֽר׃ | 50 |
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the nations, and unto thy name will I sing praises;
| מגדיל מִגְדּוֹל יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹֽשֶׂה־חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 51 |
[To] the tower of salvation of his king, and who showeth kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed forever.
