< תהילים 140 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ חַלְּצֵנִי יְהוָה מֵאָדָם רָע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Yahweh, rescue me from the wicked; preserve me from violent men.
אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ רָעוֹת בְּלֵב כָּל־יוֹם יָגוּרוּ מִלְחָמֽוֹת׃ | 2 |
They plan evil in their hearts; they cause battles every day.
שָֽׁנֲנוּ לְשׁוֹנָם כְּֽמוֹ־נָחָשׁ חֲמַת עַכְשׁוּב תַּחַת שְׂפָתֵימוֹ סֶֽלָה׃ | 3 |
Their tongues wound like serpents; vipers' poison is on their lips. (Selah)
שָׁמְרֵנִי יְהוָה ׀ מִידֵי רָשָׁע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵנִי אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ לִדְחוֹת פְּעָמָֽי׃ | 4 |
Keep me from the hands of the wicked, Yahweh; preserve me from violent men who plan to knock me over.
טָֽמְנֽוּ־גֵאִים ׀ פַּח לִי וַחֲבָלִים פָּרְשׂוּ רֶשֶׁת לְיַד־מַעְגָּל מֹקְשִׁים שָֽׁתוּ־לִי סֶֽלָה׃ | 5 |
The proud have set a trap for me; they have spread a net; they have set a snare for me. (Selah)
אָמַרְתִּי לַיהוָה אֵלִי אָתָּה הַאֲזִינָה יְהוָה קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃ | 6 |
I said to Yahweh, “You are my God; listen to my cries for mercy.”
יְהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֹז יְשׁוּעָתִי סַכֹּתָה לְרֹאשִׁי בְּיוֹם נָֽשֶׁק׃ | 7 |
Yahweh, my Lord, you are powerfully able to save me; you shield my head in the day of battle.
אַל־תִּתֵּן יְהוָה מַאֲוַיֵּי רָשָׁע זְמָמוֹ אַל־תָּפֵק יָרוּמוּ סֶֽלָה׃ | 8 |
Yahweh, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not let their plots succeed. (Selah)
רֹאשׁ מְסִבָּי עֲמַל שְׂפָתֵימוֹ יכסומו יְכַסֵּֽמוֹ׃ | 9 |
Those who surround me raise their heads; let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
ימיטו יִמּוֹטוּ עֲלֵיהֶם גֶּֽחָלִים בָּאֵשׁ יַפִּלֵם בְּמַהֲמֹרוֹת בַּֽל־יָקֽוּמוּ׃ | 10 |
Let burning coals fall on them; throw them into the fire, into bottomless pits, never more to rise.
אִישׁ לָשׁוֹן בַּל־יִכּוֹן בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ־חָמָס רָע יְצוּדֶנּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹֽת׃ | 11 |
May men of tongues not be made secure on the earth; may evil hunt down the violent man to strike him dead.
ידעת יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה דִּין עָנִי מִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיֹנִֽים׃ | 12 |
I know that Yahweh will judge in favor of the afflicted, and that he will give justice to the needy.
אַךְ צַדִּיקִים יוֹדוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ יֵשְׁבוּ יְשָׁרִים אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ | 13 |
Surely the righteous people will give thanks to your name; the upright people will live in your presence.
