תהילים 35
| לדוד ריבה יהוה את יריבי לחם את לחמי׃ | 1 |
Strive thou, O Jehovah, with those who strive with me. Fight thou against those who fight against me.
| החזק מגן וצנה וקומה בעזרתי׃ | 2 |
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
| והרק חנית וסגר לקראת רדפי אמר לנפשי ישעתך אני׃ | 3 |
Draw out the spear also, and stop the way against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am thy salvation.
| יבשו ויכלמו מבקשי נפשי יסגו אחור ויחפרו חשבי רעתי׃ | 4 |
Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise my hurt.
| יהיו כמץ לפני רוח ומלאך יהוה דוחה׃ | 5 |
Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the agent of Jehovah driving them on.
| יהי דרכם חשך וחלקלקות ומלאך יהוה רדפם׃ | 6 |
Let their way be dark and slippery, and the agent of Jehovah pursuing them.
| כי חנם טמנו לי שחת רשתם חנם חפרו לנפשי׃ | 7 |
For without cause they have hid their net for me in a pit. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
| תבואהו שואה לא ידע ורשתו אשר טמן תלכדו בשואה יפל בה׃ | 8 |
Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.
| ונפשי תגיל ביהוה תשיש בישועתו׃ | 9 |
And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
| כל עצמותי תאמרנה יהוה מי כמוך מציל עני מחזק ממנו ועני ואביון מגזלו׃ | 10 |
All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like thee, who delivers a poor man from him who is too strong for him, yea, a poor and needy man from him who robs him?
| יקומון עדי חמס אשר לא ידעתי ישאלוני׃ | 11 |
Unrighteous witnesses rise up, they ask me of things that I know not.
| ישלמוני רעה תחת טובה שכול לנפשי׃ | 12 |
They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
| ואני בחלותם לבושי שק עניתי בצום נפשי ותפלתי על חיקי תשוב׃ | 13 |
But as for me, when they were sick my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
| כרע כאח לי התהלכתי כאבל אם קדר שחותי׃ | 14 |
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as he who bewails his mother.
| ובצלעי שמחו ונאספו נאספו עלי נכים ולא ידעתי קרעו ולא דמו׃ | 15 |
But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The wretches gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not. They tore me, and ceased not.
| בחנפי לעגי מעוג חרק עלי שנימו׃ | 16 |
Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
| אדני כמה תראה השיבה נפשי משאיהם מכפירים יחידתי׃ | 17 |
Lord, how long will thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
| אודך בקהל רב בעם עצום אהללך׃ | 18 |
I will give thee thanks in the great assembly. I will praise thee among much people.
| אל ישמחו לי איבי שקר שנאי חנם יקרצו עין׃ | 19 |
Let not those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me. Neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
| כי לא שלום ידברו ועל רגעי ארץ דברי מרמות יחשבון׃ | 20 |
For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
| וירחיבו עלי פיהם אמרו האח האח ראתה עינינו׃ | 21 |
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
| ראיתה יהוה אל תחרש אדני אל תרחק ממני׃ | 22 |
Thou have seen it, O Jehovah. Keep not silence. O Lord, be not far from me.
| העירה והקיצה למשפטי אלהי ואדני לריבי׃ | 23 |
Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice to me, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
| שפטני כצדקך יהוה אלהי ואל ישמחו לי׃ | 24 |
Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.
| אל יאמרו בלבם האח נפשנו אל יאמרו בלענוהו׃ | 25 |
Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
| יבשו ויחפרו יחדו שמחי רעתי ילבשו בשת וכלמה המגדילים עלי׃ | 26 |
Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my hurt. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
| ירנו וישמחו חפצי צדקי ויאמרו תמיד יגדל יהוה החפץ שלום עבדו׃ | 27 |
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
| ולשוני תהגה צדקך כל היום תהלתך׃ | 28 |
And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
