תהילים 55
| למנצח בנגינת משכיל לדוד האזינה אלהים תפלתי ואל תתעלם מתחנתי׃ | 1 |
For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, God; and do not hide yourself from my plea.
| הקשיבה לי וענני אריד בשיחי ואהימה׃ | 2 |
Pay attention to me and answer me; I have no rest in my troubles
| מקול אויב מפני עקת רשע כי ימיטו עלי און ובאף ישטמוני׃ | 3 |
because of the voice of my enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring trouble on me and persecute me in anger.
| לבי יחיל בקרבי ואימות מות נפלו עלי׃ | 4 |
My heart trembles within me, and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
| יראה ורעד יבא בי ותכסני פלצות׃ | 5 |
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
| ואמר מי יתן לי אבר כיונה אעופה ואשכנה׃ | 6 |
I said, “Oh, if only I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away and be at rest.
| הנה ארחיק נדד אלין במדבר סלה׃ | 7 |
See, then I would wander far away; I would stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
| אחישה מפלט לי מרוח סעה מסער׃ | 8 |
I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.”
| בלע אדני פלג לשונם כי ראיתי חמס וריב בעיר׃ | 9 |
Devour them, Lord, confuse their language! For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
| יומם ולילה יסובבה על חומתיה ואון ועמל בקרבה׃ | 10 |
Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in the middle of it.
| הוות בקרבה ולא ימיש מרחבה תך ומרמה׃ | 11 |
Wickedness is in the middle of it; oppression and deceit do not leave its streets.
| כי לא אויב יחרפני ואשא לא משנאי עלי הגדיל ואסתר ממנו׃ | 12 |
For it was not an enemy who rebuked me, then I could have borne it; neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
| ואתה אנוש כערכי אלופי ומידעי׃ | 13 |
But it was you, a man equal to myself, my companion and my close friend.
| אשר יחדו נמתיק סוד בבית אלהים נהלך ברגש׃ | 14 |
We had sweet fellowship together; we walked in the house of God with the throng.
| ישימות עלימו ירדו שאול חיים כי רעות במגורם בקרבם׃ (Sheol h7585) | 15 |
Let death come suddenly on them; let them go down alive to Sheol, for wickedness is where they live, right among them. (Sheol h7585)
| אני אל אלהים אקרא ויהוה יושיעני׃ | 16 |
As for me, I will call on God, and Yahweh will save me.
| ערב ובקר וצהרים אשיחה ואהמה וישמע קולי׃ | 17 |
In the evening, morning and at noonday I complain and moan; he will hear my voice.
| פדה בשלום נפשי מקרב לי כי ברבים היו עמדי׃ | 18 |
He will safely rescue my life from the battle that was against me, for those who fought against me were many.
| ישמע אל ויענם וישב קדם סלה אשר אין חליפות למו ולא יראו אלהים׃ | 19 |
God, the one who rules from eternity, will hear them and humiliate them. (Selah) They never change, and they do not fear God.
| שלח ידיו בשלמיו חלל בריתו׃ | 20 |
My friend has raised his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has not respected the covenant that he had.
| חלקו מחמאת פיו וקרב לבו רכו דבריו משמן והמה פתחות׃ | 21 |
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was hostile; his words were softer than oil, yet they were actually drawn swords.
| השלך על יהוה יהבך והוא יכלכלך לא יתן לעולם מוט לצדיק׃ | 22 |
Place your burdens on Yahweh, and he will sustain you; he will never allow a righteous person to totter.
| ואתה אלהים תורדם לבאר שחת אנשי דמים ומרמה לא יחצו ימיהם ואני אבטח בך׃ | 23 |
But you, God, will bring the wicked down into the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live even half as long as others, but I will trust in you.
