שמואל ב 22
| וַיְדַבֵּר דָּוִד לַֽיהוָה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת בְּיוֹם הִצִּיל יְהוָה אֹתוֹ מִכַּף כָּל־אֹיְבָיו וּמִכַּף שָׁאֽוּל׃ | 1 |
And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul:
| וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה סַֽלְעִי וּמְצֻדָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי־לִֽי׃ | 2 |
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
| אֱלֹהֵי צוּרִי אֶחֱסֶה־בּוֹ מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי מֹשִׁעִי מֵחָמָס תֹּשִׁעֵֽנִי׃ | 3 |
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my preserver; thou savest me from violence.
| מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וּמֵאֹיְבַי אִוָּשֵֽׁעַ׃ | 4 |
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
| כִּי אֲפָפֻנִי מִשְׁבְּרֵי־מָוֶת נַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל יְבַעֲתֻֽנִי׃ | 5 |
When the waves of death surrounded me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
| חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סַבֻּנִי קִדְּמֻנִי מֹֽקְשֵׁי־מָֽוֶת׃ (Sheol h7585) | 6 |
The sorrows of hell surrounded me; the snares of death seized me; (Sheol h7585)
| בַּצַּר־לִי אֶקְרָא יְהוָה וְאֶל־אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵֽיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאָזְנָֽיו׃ | 7 |
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.
| ותגעש וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ מוֹסְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִרְגָּזוּ וַיִּֽתְגָּעֲשׁוּ כִּֽי־חָרָה לֽוֹ׃ | 8 |
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was angry.
| עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל גֶּחָלִים בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 9 |
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
| וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם וַיֵּרַד וַעֲרָפֶל תַּחַת רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 10 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
| וַיִּרְכַּב עַל־כְּרוּב וַיָּעֹף וַיֵּרָא עַל־כַּנְפֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 11 |
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
| וַיָּשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ סְבִיבֹתָיו סֻכּוֹת חַֽשְׁרַת־מַיִם עָבֵי שְׁחָקִֽים׃ | 12 |
And he made darkness pavilions around him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
| מִנֹּגַהּ נֶגְדּוֹ בָּעֲרוּ גַּחֲלֵי־אֵֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
| יַרְעֵם מִן־שָׁמַיִם יְהוָה וְעֶלְיוֹן יִתֵּן קוֹלֽוֹ׃ | 14 |
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
| וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצִּים וַיְפִיצֵם בָּרָק ויהמם וַיָּהֹֽם׃ | 15 |
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and smote them.
| וַיֵּֽרָאוּ אֲפִקֵי יָם יִגָּלוּ מֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל בְּגַעֲרַת יְהוָה מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפּֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid open, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
| יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם יִקָּחֵנִי יַֽמְשֵׁנִי מִמַּיִם רַבִּֽים׃ | 17 |
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
| יַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבִי עָז מִשֹּׂנְאַי כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 18 |
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
| יְקַדְּמֻנִי בְּיוֹם אֵידִי וַיְהִי יְהוָה מִשְׁעָן לִֽי׃ | 19 |
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my support.
| וַיֹּצֵא לַמֶּרְחָב אֹתִי יְחַלְּצֵנִי כִּי־חָפֵֽץ בִּֽי׃ | 20 |
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
| יִגְמְלֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹר יָדַי יָשִׁיב לִֽי׃ | 21 |
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
| כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי דַּרְכֵי יְהוָה וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי מֵאֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 22 |
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
| כִּי כָל־משפטו מִשְׁפָּטָיו לְנֶגְדִּי וְחֻקֹּתָיו לֹא־אָסוּר מִמֶּֽנָּה׃ | 23 |
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
| וָאֶהְיֶה תָמִים לוֹ וָאֶשְׁתַּמְּרָה מֵעֲוֺנִֽי׃ | 24 |
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
| וַיָּשֶׁב יְהוָה לִי כְּצִדְקָתִי כְּבֹרִי לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיו׃ | 25 |
Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
| עִם־חָסִיד תִּתְחַסָּד עִם־גִּבּוֹר תָּמִים תִּתַּמָּֽם׃ | 26 |
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright 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 contend.
| 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 lighten my darkness.
| כִּי בְכָה אָרוּץ גְּדוּד בֵּאלֹהַי אֲדַלֶּג־שֽׁוּר׃ | 30 |
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped 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 them that trust in him.
| כִּי מִי־אֵל מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יְהוָה וּמִי צוּר מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ | 32 |
For who is God, except the LORD? and who is a rock, except our God?
| הָאֵל מָעוּזִּי חָיִל וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים דרכו דַּרְכִּֽי׃ | 33 |
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
| מְשַׁוֶּה רגליו רַגְלַי כָּאַיָּלוֹת וְעַל בָּמוֹתַי יַעֲמִדֵֽנִי׃ | 34 |
He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
| מְלַמֵּד יָדַי לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִחַת קֶֽשֶׁת־נְחוּשָׁה זְרֹעֹתָֽי׃ | 35 |
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
| וַתִּתֶּן־לִי מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ וַעֲנֹתְךָ תַּרְבֵּֽנִי׃ | 36 |
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
| תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי תַּחְתֵּנִי וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ קַרְסֻלָּֽי׃ | 37 |
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped.
| אֶרְדְּפָה אֹיְבַי וָאַשְׁמִידֵם וְלֹא אָשׁוּב עַד־כַּלּוֹתָֽם׃ | 38 |
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
| וָאֲכַלֵּם וָאֶמְחָצֵם וְלֹא יְקוּמוּן וַֽיִּפְּלוּ תַּחַת רַגְלָֽי׃ | 39 |
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen under my feet.
| וַתַּזְרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 40 |
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
| וְאֹיְבַי תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף מְשַׂנְאַי וָאַצְמִיתֵֽם׃ | 41 |
Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
| יִשְׁעוּ וְאֵין מֹשִׁיעַ אֶל־יְהוָה וְלֹא עָנָֽם׃ | 42 |
They looked, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he answered them not.
| וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם כַּעֲפַר־אָרֶץ כְּטִיט־חוּצוֹת אֲדִקֵּם אֶרְקָעֵֽם׃ | 43 |
Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, and spread them abroad.
| וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵנִי מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻֽנִי׃ | 44 |
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִתְכַּֽחֲשׁוּ־לִי לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִֽי׃ | 45 |
Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
| בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ וְיַחְגְּרוּ מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָֽם׃ | 46 |
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall come trembling out of their fortresses.
| חַי־יְהוָה וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר יִשְׁעִֽי׃ | 47 |
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
| הָאֵל הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי וּמוֹרִיד עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּֽנִי׃ | 48 |
It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
| וּמוֹצִיאִי מֵאֹֽיְבָי וּמִקָּמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תַּצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 49 |
And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
| עַל־כֵּן אוֹדְךָ יְהוָה בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּֽר׃ | 50 |
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy name.
| מגדיל מִגְדּוֹל יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹֽשֶׂה־חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 51 |
He is the tower of salvation for his king: and he showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
