1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Do not keep silent, O God of my praise!

1לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר אֱלֹהֵ֥י תְ֝הִלָּתִ֗י אַֽל־ תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃

2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

2כִּ֤י פִ֪י רָשָׁ֡ע וּֽפִי־ מִ֭רְמָה עָלַ֣י פָּתָ֑חוּ דִּבְּר֥וּ אִ֝תִּ֗י לְשׁ֣וֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃

3They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.

3וְדִבְרֵ֣י שִׂנְאָ֣ה סְבָב֑וּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמ֥וּנִי חִנָּֽם׃

4In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer.

4תַּֽחַת־ אַהֲבָתִ֥י יִשְׂטְנ֗וּנִי וַאֲנִ֥י תְפִלָּֽה׃

5Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

5וַיָּ֘שִׂ֤ימוּ עָלַ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה וְ֝שִׂנְאָ֗ה תַּ֣חַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃

6Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand.

6הַפְקֵ֣ד עָלָ֣יו רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝שָׂטָ֗ן יַעֲמֹ֥ד עַל־ יְמִינֽוֹ׃

7When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin.

7בְּ֭הִשָּׁ֣פְטוֹ יֵצֵ֣א רָשָׁ֑ע וּ֝תְפִלָּת֗וֹ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַֽחֲטָאָֽה׃

8Let his days be few, And let another take his office.

8יִֽהְיֽוּ־ יָמָ֥יו מְעַטִּ֑ים פְּ֝קֻדָּת֗וֹ יִקַּ֥ח אַחֵֽר׃

9Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.

9יִֽהְיוּ־ בָנָ֥יו יְתוֹמִ֑ים וְ֝אִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃

10Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.

10וְנ֤וֹעַ יָנ֣וּעוּ בָנָ֣יו וְשִׁאֵ֑לוּ וְ֝דָרְשׁ֗וּ מֵחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

11Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor.

11יְנַקֵּ֣שׁ נ֭וֹשֶׁה לְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֑וֹ וְיָבֹ֖זּוּ זָרִ֣ים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃

12Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.

12אַל־ יְהִי־ ל֭וֹ מֹשֵׁ֣ךְ חָ֑סֶד וְֽאַל־ יְהִ֥י ח֝וֹנֵ֗ן לִיתוֹמָֽיו׃

13Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

13יְהִֽי־ אַחֲרִית֥וֹ לְהַכְרִ֑ית בְּד֥וֹר אַ֝חֵ֗ר יִמַּ֥ח שְׁמָֽם׃

14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

14יִזָּכֵ֤ר ׀ עֲוֺ֣ן אֲ֭בֹתָיו אֶל־ יְהוָ֑ה וְחַטַּ֥את אִ֝מּ֗וֹ אַל־ תִּמָּֽח׃

15Let them be continually before the LORD, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;

15יִהְי֣וּ נֶֽגֶד־ יְהוָ֣ה תָּמִ֑יד וְיַכְרֵ֖ת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃

16Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart.

16יַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א זָכַר֮ עֲשׂ֪וֹת חָ֥סֶד וַיִּרְדֹּ֡ף אִישׁ־ עָנִ֣י וְ֭אֶבְיוֹן וְנִכְאֵ֨ה לֵבָ֬ב לְמוֹתֵֽת׃

17As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.

17וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ב קְ֭לָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵ֑הוּ וְֽלֹא־ חָפֵ֥ץ בִּ֝בְרָכָ֗ה וַתִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

18As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones.

18וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ קְלָלָ֗ה כְּמַ֫דּ֥וֹ וַתָּבֹ֣א כַמַּ֣יִם בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃

19Let it be to him like the garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.

19תְּהִי־ ל֭וֹ כְּבֶ֣גֶד יַעְטֶ֑ה וּ֝לְמֵ֗זַח תָּמִ֥יד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃

20Let this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person.

20זֹ֤את פְּעֻלַּ֣ת שֹׂ֭טְנַי מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְהַדֹּבְרִ֥ים רָ֝֗ע עַל־ נַפְשִֽׁי׃

21But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.

21וְאַתָּ֤ה ׀ יְה֘וִ֤ה אֲדֹנָ֗י עֲ‍ֽשֵׂה־ אִ֭תִּי לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּי־ ט֥וֹב חַ֝סְדְּךָ֗ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃

22For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.

22כִּֽי־ עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְי֣וֹן אָנֹ֑כִי וְ֝לִבִּ֗י חָלַ֥ל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃

23I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust.

23כְּצֵל־ כִּנְטוֹת֥וֹ נֶהֱלָ֑כְתִּי נִ֝נְעַ֗רְתִּי כָּֽאַרְבֶּֽה׃

24My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.

24בִּ֭רְכַּי כָּשְׁל֣וּ מִצּ֑וֹם וּ֝בְשָׂרִ֗י כָּחַ֥שׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃

25I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads.

25וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ הָיִ֣יתִי חֶרְפָּ֣ה לָהֶ֑ם יִ֝רְא֗וּנִי יְנִיע֥וּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃

26Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy,

26עָ֭זְרֵנִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י ה֭וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃

27That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, LORD, have done it!

27וְֽ֭יֵדְעוּ כִּי־ יָ֣דְךָ זֹּ֑את אַתָּ֖ה יְהוָ֣ה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃

28Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice.

28יְקַֽלְלוּ־ הֵמָּה֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תְבָ֫רֵ֥ךְ קָ֤מוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹ֗שׁוּ וְֽעַבְדְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמָֽח׃

29Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

29יִלְבְּשׁ֣וּ שׂוֹטְנַ֣י כְּלִמָּ֑ה וְיַעֲט֖וּ כַמְעִ֣יל בָּשְׁתָּֽם׃

30I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.

30א֘וֹדֶ֤ה יְהוָ֣ה מְאֹ֣ד בְּפִ֑י וּבְת֖וֹךְ רַבִּ֣ים אֲהַֽלְלֶֽנּוּ׃

31For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who condemn him.

31כִּֽי־ יַ֭עֲמֹד לִימִ֣ין אֶבְי֑וֹן לְ֝הוֹשִׁ֗יעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵ֥י נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
