תהילים 7
| שִׁגָּיוֹן לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁר לַיהוָה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כוּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ חָסִיתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִכָּל־רֹדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite. LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
| פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּֽיל׃ | 2 |
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
| יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ | 3 |
LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
| אִם־גָּמַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צוֹרְרִי רֵיקָֽם׃ | 4 |
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
| יִֽרַדֹּף אוֹיֵב ׀ נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבוֹדִי ׀ לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶֽלָה׃ | 5 |
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
| קוּמָה יְהוָה ׀ בְּאַפֶּךָ הִנָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרוֹת צוֹרְרָי וְעוּרָה אֵלַי מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ | 6 |
Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgement.
| וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים תְּסוֹבְבֶךָּ וְעָלֶיהָ לַמָּרוֹם שֽׁוּבָה׃ | 7 |
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
| יְהוָה יָדִין עַמִּים שָׁפְטֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָֽי׃ | 8 |
The LORD administers judgement to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
| יִגְמָר־נָא רַע ׀ רְשָׁעִים וּתְכוֹנֵן צַדִּיק וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת וּכְלָיוֹת אֱלֹהִים צַדּֽ͏ִיק׃ | 9 |
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
| מָֽגִנִּי עַל־אֱלֹהִים מוֹשִׁיעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ | 10 |
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
| אֱלֹהִים שׁוֹפֵט צַדִּיק וְאֵל זֹעֵם בְּכָל־יֽוֹם׃ | 11 |
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
| אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּב חַרְבּוֹ יִלְטוֹשׁ קַשְׁתּוֹ דָרַךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ | 12 |
If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
| וְלוֹ הֵכִין כְּלֵי־מָוֶת חִצָּיו לְֽדֹלְקִים יִפְעָֽל׃ | 13 |
He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
| הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל־אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ | 14 |
Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.
| בּוֹר כָּרָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָֽל׃ | 15 |
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
| יָשׁוּב עֲמָלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ וְעַל קָדְקֳדוֹ חֲמָסוֹ יֵרֵֽד׃ | 16 |
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
| אוֹדֶה יְהוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵֽׁם־יְהוָה עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ | 17 |
I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
