תהילים 17
| תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִד שִׁמְעָה יְהוָה ׀ צֶדֶק הַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִי בְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָֽה׃ | 1 |
A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.
| מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵא עֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִֽים׃ | 2 |
Let my judgment come forth from your presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.
| בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי ׀ פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָה צְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָא זַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבָר־פִּֽי׃ | 3 |
You has proved mine heart; you have visited [me] by night; you have tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
| לִפְעֻלּוֹת אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָ אֲנִי שָׁמַרְתִּי אָרְחוֹת פָּרִֽיץ׃ | 4 |
As for the works of men, by the words of your lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.
| תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתֶיךָ בַּל־נָמוֹטּוּ פְעָמָֽי׃ | 5 |
Direct my steps in your paths, that my steps slip not.
| אֲנִֽי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִֽי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵל הַֽט־אָזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִֽי׃ | 6 |
I have cried, for you heard me, O God: incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.
| הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ חוֹסִים מִמִּתְקוֹמְמִים בִּֽימִינֶֽךָ׃ | 7 |
Show the marvels of your mercies, you that save them that hope in you.
| שָׁמְרֵנִי כְּאִישׁוֹן בַּת־עָיִן בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִי׃ | 8 |
Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist your right hand: you shall screen me by the covering of your wings,
| מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִי אֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָֽי׃ | 9 |
from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.
| חֶלְבָּמוֹ סָּגְרוּ פִּימוֹ דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאֽוּת׃ | 10 |
They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.
| אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה סבבוני סְבָבוּנוּ עֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטוֹת בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 11 |
They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.
| דִּמְיֹנוֹ כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסוֹף לִטְרוֹף וְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרֽ͏ִים׃ | 12 |
They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret [places].
| קוּמָה יְהוָה קַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּ פַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּֽךָ׃ | 13 |
Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] your sword,
| מִֽמְתִים יָדְךָ ׀ יְהוָה מִֽמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּֽחַיִּים וצפינך וּֽצְפוּנְךָ תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעוֹלְלֵיהֽ͏ֶם׃ | 14 |
because of the enemies of your hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with your hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.
| אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃ | 15 |
But I shall appear in righteousness before your face: I shall be satisfied when your glory appears.
