תהילים 140
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ חַלְּצֵנִי יְהוָה מֵאָדָם רָע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.
| אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ רָעוֹת בְּלֵב כָּל־יוֹם יָגוּרוּ מִלְחָמֽוֹת׃ | 2 |
Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.
| שָֽׁנֲנוּ לְשׁוֹנָם כְּֽמוֹ־נָחָשׁ חֲמַת עַכְשׁוּב תַּחַת שְׂפָתֵימוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ | 3 |
They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)
| שָׁמְרֵנִי יְהוָה ׀ מִידֵי רָשָׁע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵנִי אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ לִדְחוֹת פְּעָמָֽי׃ | 4 |
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
| טָֽמְנֽוּ־גֵאִים ׀ פַּח לִי וַחֲבָלִים פָּרְשׂוּ רֶשֶׁת לְיַד־מַעְגָּל מֹקְשִׁים שָֽׁתוּ־לִי סֶֽלָה׃ | 5 |
The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)
| אָמַרְתִּי לַיהוָה אֵלִי אָתָּה הַאֲזִינָה יְהוָה קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ | 6 |
I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
| יְהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֹז יְשׁוּעָתִי סַכֹּתָה לְרֹאשִׁי בְּיוֹם נָֽשֶׁק׃ | 7 |
O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.
| אַל־תִּתֵּן יְהוָה מַאֲוַיֵּי רָשָׁע זְמָמוֹ אַל־תָּפֵק יָרוּמוּ סֶֽלָה׃ | 8 |
Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)
| רֹאשׁ מְסִבָּי עֲמַל שְׂפָתֵימוֹ יכסומו יְכַסֵּֽמוֹ׃ | 9 |
[As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.
| ימיטו יִמּוֹטוּ עֲלֵיהֶם גֶּֽחָלִים בָּאֵשׁ יַפִּלֵם בְּמַהֲמֹרוֹת בַּֽל־יָקֽוּמוּ׃ | 10 |
Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].
| אִישׁ לָשׁוֹן בַּל־יִכּוֹן בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ־חָמָס רָע יְצוּדֶנּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹֽת׃ | 11 |
A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
| ידעת יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה דִּין עָנִי מִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיֹנִֽים׃ | 12 |
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.
| אַךְ צַדִּיקִים יוֹדוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ יֵשְׁבוּ יְשָׁרִים אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ | 13 |
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
