Psalms 56
1 For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.
| לַמְנַצֵּ֤חַ ׀ עַל־יֹ֬ונַת אֵ֣לֶם רְ֭חֹקִים לְדָוִ֣ד מִכְתָּ֑ם בֶּֽאֱחֹ֨ז אֹתֹ֖ו פְלִשְׁתִּ֣ים בְּגַֽת׃ חָנֵּ֣נִי אֱ֭לֹהִים כִּֽי־שְׁאָפַ֣נִי אֱנֹ֑ושׁ כָּל־הַ֝יֹּ֗ום לֹחֵ֥ם יִלְחָצֵֽנִי׃ |
2 Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.
| שָׁאֲפ֣וּ שֹׁ֭ורְרַי כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום כִּֽי־רַבִּ֨ים לֹחֲמִ֖ים לִ֣י מָרֹֽום׃ |
3 They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.
| יֹ֥ום אִירָ֑א אֲ֝נִ֗י אֵלֶ֥יךָ אֶבְטָֽח׃ |
4 In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.
| בֵּאלֹהִים֮ אֲהַלֵּ֪ל דְּבָ֫רֹ֥ו בֵּאלֹהִ֣ים בָּ֭טַחְתִּי לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה בָשָׂ֣ר לִֽי׃ |
5 All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.
| כָּל־הַ֭יֹּום דְּבָרַ֣י יְעַצֵּ֑בוּ עָלַ֖י כָּל־מַחְשְׁבֹתָ֣ם לָרָֽע׃ |
6 They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.
| יָג֤וּרוּ ׀ יַצְפִּינוּ (יִצְפֹּ֗ונוּ) הֵ֭מָּה עֲקֵבַ֣י יִשְׁמֹ֑רוּ כַּ֝אֲשֶׁ֗ר קִוּ֥וּ נַפְשִֽׁי׃ |
7 You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.
| עַל־אָ֥וֶן פַּלֶּט־לָ֑מֹו בְּ֝אַ֗ף עַמִּ֤ים ׀ הֹורֵ֬ד אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
8 O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.
| נֹדִי֮ סָפַ֪רְתָּ֫ה אָ֥תָּה שִׂ֣ימָה דִמְעָתִ֣י בְנֹאדֶ֑ךָ הֲ֝לֹ֗א בְּסִפְרָתֶֽךָ׃ |
9 Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.
| אָ֥֨ז יָ֘שׁ֤וּבוּ אֹויְבַ֣י אָ֭חֹור בְּיֹ֣ום אֶקְרָ֑א זֶה־יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים לִֽי׃ |
10 In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.
| בֵּֽ֭אלֹהִים אֲהַלֵּ֣ל דָּבָ֑ר בַּ֝יהוָ֗ה אֲהַלֵּ֥ל דָּבָֽר׃ |
11 I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.
| בֵּֽאלֹהִ֣ים בָּ֭טַחְתִּי לֹ֣א אִירָ֑א מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה אָדָ֣ם לִֽי׃ |
12 The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.
| עָלַ֣י אֱלֹהִ֣ים נְדָרֶ֑יךָ אֲשַׁלֵּ֖ם תֹּודֹ֣ת לָֽךְ׃ |
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
| כִּ֤י הִצַּ֪לְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֡י מִמָּוֶת֮ הֲלֹ֥א רַגְלַ֗י מִ֫דֶּ֥חִי לְ֭הִֽתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים בְּ֝אֹ֗ור הֽ͏ַחַיִּֽים׃ |
