Psalms 55
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
| למנצח בנגינת משכיל לדוד ב האזינה אלהים תפלתי ואל-תתעלם מתחנתי |
2 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
| הקשיבה לי וענני אריד בשיחי ואהימה |
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
| מקול אויב--מפני עקת רשע כי-ימיטו עלי און ובאף ישטמוני |
4 My heart is greatly pained within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
| לבי יחיל בקרבי ואימות מות נפלו עלי |
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
| יראה ורעד יבא בי ותכסני פלצות |
6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away, and be at rest.
| ואמר--מי-יתן-לי אבר כיונה אעופה ואשכנה |
7 Lo, then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. (Selah)
| הנה ארחיק נדד אלין במדבר סלה |
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
| אחישה מפלט לי-- מרוח סעה מסער |
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
| בלע אדני פלג לשונם כי-ראיתי חמס וריב בעיר |
10 Day and night they go about her upon her walls: mischief also and sorrow are in her midst.
| יומם ולילה--יסובבה על-חומתיה ואון ועמל בקרבה |
11 Wickedness is in her midst: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
| הוות בקרבה ולא-ימיש מרחבה תך ומרמה |
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
| כי לא-אויב יחרפני ואשא לא-משנאי עלי הגדיל ואסתר ממנו |
13 But it was thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
| ואתה אנוש כערכי אלופי ומידעי |
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company.
| אשר יחדו נמתיק סוד בבית אלהים נהלך ברגש |
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down alive into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (Sheol h7585)
| ישימות (ישי מות) עלימו--ירדו שאול חיים כי-רעות במגורם בקרבם (Sheol h7585) |
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
| אני אל-אלהים אקרא ויהוה יושיעני |
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
| ערב ובקר וצהרים אשיחה ואהמה וישמע קולי |
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
| פדה בשלום נפשי מקרב-לי כי-ברבים היו עמדי |
19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
| ישמע אל ויענם-- וישב קדם סלה אשר אין חליפות למו ולא יראו אלהים |
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
| שלח ידיו בשלמיו חלל בריתו |
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
| חלקו מחמאת פיו-- וקרב-לבו רכו דבריו משמן והמה פתחות |
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never allow the righteous to be moved.
| השלך על-יהוה יהבך-- והוא יכלכלך לא-יתן לעולם מוט-- לצדיק |
23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
| ואתה אלהים תורדם לבאר שחת-- אנשי דמים ומרמה לא-יחצו ימיהם ואני אבטח-בך |
