| א שִׁגָּיוֹן, לְדָוִד: אֲשֶׁר-שָׁר לַיהוָה--עַל-דִּבְרֵי-כוּשׁ, בֶּן-יְמִינִי. |
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. |
| ב יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי, בְּךָ חָסִיתִי; הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִכָּל-רֹדְפַי, וְהַצִּילֵנִי. |
2 O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me; |
| ג פֶּן-יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי; פֹּרֵק, וְאֵין מַצִּיל. |
3 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. |
| ד יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי, אִם-עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת; אִם-יֶשׁ-עָוֶל בְּכַפָּי. |
4 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; |
| ה אִם-גָּמַלְתִּי, שׁוֹלְמִי רָע; וָאֲחַלְּצָה צוֹרְרִי רֵיקָם. |
5 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness; |
| ו יִרַדֹּף אוֹיֵב נַפְשִׁי, וְיַשֵּׂג--וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי; וּכְבוֹדִי, לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶלָה. |
6 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. Selah |
| ז קוּמָה יְהוָה, בְּאַפֶּךָ--הִנָּשֵׂא, בְּעַבְרוֹת צוֹרְרָי; וְעוּרָה אֵלַי, מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּיתָ. |
7 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded. |
| ח וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים, תְּסוֹבְבֶךָּ; וְעָלֶיהָ, לַמָּרוֹם שׁוּבָה. |
8 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high. |
| ט יְהוָה, יָדִין עַמִּים: שָׁפְטֵנִי יְהוָה; כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָי. |
9 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. |
|
י יִגְמָר נָא רַע, רְשָׁעִים-- וּתְכוֹנֵן צַדִּיק; וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת, וּכְלָיוֹת-- אֱלֹהִים צַדִּיק. |
10 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; {N} for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins. |
| יא מָגִנִּי עַל-אֱלֹהִים; מוֹשִׁיעַ, יִשְׁרֵי-לֵב. |
11 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart. |
| יב אֱלֹהִים, שׁוֹפֵט צַדִּיק; וְאֵל, זֹעֵם בְּכָל-יוֹם. |
12 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day: |
| יג אִם-לֹא יָשׁוּב, חַרְבּוֹ יִלְטוֹשׁ; קַשְׁתּוֹ דָרַךְ, וַיְכוֹנְנֶהָ. |
13 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready; |
| יד וְלוֹ, הֵכִין כְּלֵי מָוֶת; חִצָּיו, לְדֹלְקִים יִפְעָל. |
14 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp. |
| טו הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל-אָוֶן; וְהָרָה עָמָל, וְיָלַד שָׁקֶר. |
15 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood. |
| טז בּוֹר כָּרָה, וַיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ; וַיִּפֹּל, בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָל. |
16 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. |
| יז יָשׁוּב עֲמָלוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ; וְעַל קָדְקֳדוֹ, חֲמָסוֹ יֵרֵד. |
17 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate. |
| יח אוֹדֶה יְהוָה כְּצִדְקוֹ; וַאֲזַמְּרָה, שֵׁם-יְהוָה עֶלְיוֹן. | 18 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. {P} |
