א לַמְנַצֵּחַ, לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר:
אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי, אַל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ. | 1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. {N}
O God of my praise, keep not silence;
|
| ב כִּי פִי רָשָׁע, וּפִי-מִרְמָה--עָלַי פָּתָחוּ; דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי, לְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר. | 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me; they have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.
|
| ג וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי; וַיִּלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּם. | 3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
|
| ד תַּחַת-אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי; וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּה. | 4 In return for my love they are my adversaries; but I am all prayer.
|
| ה וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה, תַּחַת טוֹבָה; וְשִׂנְאָה, תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִי. | 5 And they have laid upon me evil for good, and hatred for my love:
|
| ו הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע; וְשָׂטָן, יַעֲמֹד עַל-יְמִינוֹ. | 6 'Set Thou a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand.
|
| ז בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ, יֵצֵא רָשָׁע; וּתְפִלָּתוֹ, תִּהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָה. | 7 When he is judged, let him go forth condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin.
|
| ח יִהְיוּ-יָמָיו מְעַטִּים; פְּקֻדָּתוֹ, יִקַּח אַחֵר. | 8 Let his days be few; let another take his charge.
|
| ט יִהְיוּ-בָנָיו יְתוֹמִים; וְאִשְׁתּוֹ, אַלְמָנָה. | 9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
|
| י וְנוֹעַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ; וְדָרְשׁוּ, מֵחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶם. | 10 Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.
|
| יא יְנַקֵּשׁ נוֹשֶׁה, לְכָל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ; וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעוֹ. | 11 Let the creditor distrain all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour.
|
| יב אַל-יְהִי-לוֹ, מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד; וְאַל-יְהִי חוֹנֵן, לִיתוֹמָיו. | 12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; neither let there be any to be gracious unto his fatherless children.
|
| יג יְהִי-אַחֲרִיתוֹ לְהַכְרִית; בְּדוֹר אַחֵר, יִמַּח שְׁמָם. | 13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
|
| יד יִזָּכֵר, עֲוֹן אֲבֹתָיו--אֶל-יְהוָה; וְחַטַּאת אִמּוֹ, אַל-תִּמָּח. | 14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be brought to remembrance unto the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
|
| טו יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד-יְהוָה תָּמִיד; וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָם. | 15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
|
טז יַעַן-- אֲשֶׁר לֹא זָכַר, עֲשׂוֹת חָסֶד:
וַיִּרְדֹּף, אִישׁ-עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן--וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב; לְמוֹתֵת. | 16 Because that he remembered not to do kindness, {N}
but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart he was ready to slay.
|
| יז וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה, וַתְּבוֹאֵהוּ; וְלֹא-חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה, וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּנּוּ. | 17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; and he delighted not in blessing, and it is far from him.
|
| יח וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה, כְּמַדּוֹ: וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבּוֹ; וְכַשֶּׁמֶן, בְּעַצְמוֹתָיו. | 18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his raiment, and it is come into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones.
|
| יט תְּהִי-לוֹ, כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה; וּלְמֵזַח, תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶהָ. | 19 Let it be unto him as the garment which he putteth on, and for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.'
|
| כ זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת שֹׂטְנַי, מֵאֵת יְהוָה; וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע, עַל-נַפְשִׁי. | 20 This would mine adversaries effect from the LORD, and they that speak evil against my soul.
|
כא וְאַתָּה, יְהוִה אֲדֹנָי-- עֲשֵׂה-אִתִּי, לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ;
כִּי-טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ, הַצִּילֵנִי. | 21 But Thou, O GOD the Lord, deal with me for Thy name's sake; {N}
because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me.
|
| כב כִּי-עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָנֹכִי; וְלִבִּי, חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּי. | 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
|
| כג כְּצֵל-כִּנְטוֹתוֹ נֶהֱלָכְתִּי; נִנְעַרְתִּי, כָּאַרְבֶּה. | 23 I am gone like the shadow when it lengtheneth; I am shaken off as the locust.
|
| כד בִּרְכַּי, כָּשְׁלוּ מִצּוֹם; וּבְשָׂרִי, כָּחַשׁ מִשָּׁמֶן. | 24 My knees totter through fasting; and my flesh is lean, and hath no fatness.
|
| כה וַאֲנִי, הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם; יִרְאוּנִי, יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָׁם. | 25 I am become also a taunt unto them; when they see me, they shake their head.
|
| כו עָזְרֵנִי, יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי; הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּךָ. | 26 Help me, O LORD my God; O save me according to Thy mercy;
|
| כז וְיֵדְעוּ, כִּי-יָדְךָ זֹּאת; אַתָּה יְהוָה עֲשִׂיתָהּ. | 27 That they may know that this is Thy hand; that Thou, LORD, hast done it.
|
| כח יְקַלְלוּ-הֵמָּה, וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ: קָמוּ, וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ--וְעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָח. | 28 Let them curse, but bless Thou; when they arise, they shall be put to shame, but Thy servant shall rejoice.
|
| כט יִלְבְּשׁוּ שׂוֹטְנַי כְּלִמָּה; וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בָּשְׁתָּם. | 29 Mine adversaries shall be clothed with confusion, and shall put on their own shame as a robe.
|
| ל אוֹדֶה יְהוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי; וּבְתוֹךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶנּוּ. | 30 I will give great thanks unto the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise Him among the multitude;
|
| לא כִּי-יַעֲמֹד, לִימִין אֶבְיוֹן-- לְהוֹשִׁיעַ, מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשׁוֹ. | 31 Because He standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from them that judge his soul. {P} |
