| א מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד: בְּבָרְחוֹ, מִפְּנֵי אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנוֹ. |
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. |
| ב יְהוָה, מָה-רַבּוּ צָרָי; רַבִּים, קָמִים עָלָי. |
2 LORD, how many are mine adversaries become! Many are they that rise up against me. |
| ג רַבִּים, אֹמְרִים לְנַפְשִׁי: אֵין יְשׁוּעָתָה לּוֹ בֵאלֹהִים סֶלָה. |
3 Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah |
| ד וְאַתָּה יְהוָה, מָגֵן בַּעֲדִי; כְּבוֹדִי, וּמֵרִים רֹאשִׁי. |
4 But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head. |
| ה קוֹלִי, אֶל-יְהוָה אֶקְרָא; וַיַּעֲנֵנִי מֵהַר קָדְשׁוֹ סֶלָה. |
5 With my voice I call unto the LORD, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. Selah |
| ו אֲנִי שָׁכַבְתִּי, וָאִישָׁנָה; הֱקִיצוֹתִי--כִּי יְהוָה יִסְמְכֵנִי. |
6 I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for the LORD sustaineth me. |
| ז לֹא-אִירָא, מֵרִבְבוֹת עָם-- אֲשֶׁר סָבִיב, שָׁתוּ עָלָי. |
7 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. |
|
ח קוּמָה יְהוָה, הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהַי-- כִּי-הִכִּיתָ אֶת-כָּל-אֹיְבַי לֶחִי; שִׁנֵּי רְשָׁעִים שִׁבַּרְתָּ. |
8 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, {N} Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. |
| ט לַיהוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה; עַל-עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּלָה. | 9 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah {P} |
