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. |
