1	לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינֹ֗ת מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃ הַאֲזִ֣ינָה אֱ֭לֹהִים תְּפִלָּתִ֑י וְאַל־ תִּ֝תְעַלַּ֗ם מִתְּחִנָּתִֽי׃	Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!	For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
2	הַקְשִׁ֣יבָה לִּ֣י וַעֲנֵ֑נִי אָרִ֖יד בְּשִׂיחִ֣י וְאָהִֽימָה׃	Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan,	hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
3	מִקּ֤וֹל אוֹיֵ֗ב מִפְּנֵ֣י עָקַ֣ת רָשָׁ֑ע כִּי־ יָמִ֥יטוּ עָלַ֥י אָ֝֗וֶן וּבְאַ֥ף יִשְׂטְמֽוּנִי׃	because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me.	because of what my enemy is saying, because of the threats of the wicked; for they bring down suffering on me and assail me in their anger.
4	לִ֭בִּי יָחִ֣יל בְּקִרְבִּ֑י וְאֵימ֥וֹת מָ֝֗וֶת נָפְל֥וּ עָלָֽי׃	My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me.	My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me.
5	יִרְאָ֣ה וָ֭רַעַד יָ֣בֹא בִ֑י וַ֝תְּכַסֵּ֗נִי פַּלָּצֽוּת׃	Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.	Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
6	וָאֹמַ֗ר מִֽי־ יִתֶּן־ לִּ֣י אֵ֭בֶר כַּיּוֹנָ֗ה אָע֥וּפָה וְאֶשְׁכֹּֽנָה׃	And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;	I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
7	הִ֭נֵּה אַרְחִ֣יק נְדֹ֑ד אָלִ֖ין בַּמִּדְבָּ֣ר סֶֽלָה׃	yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah	I would flee far away and stay in the desert;
8	אָחִ֣ישָׁה מִפְלָ֣ט לִ֑י מֵר֖וּחַ סֹעָ֣ה מִסָּֽעַר׃	I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.”	I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.”
9	בַּלַּ֣ע אֲ֭דֹנָי פַּלַּ֣ג לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם כִּֽי־ רָאִ֨יתִי חָמָ֖ס וְרִ֣יב בָּעִֽיר׃	Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city.	Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10	יוֹמָ֤ם וָלַ֗יְלָה יְסוֹבְבֻ֥הָ עַל־ חוֹמֹתֶ֑יהָ וְאָ֖וֶן וְעָמָ֣ל בְּקִרְבָּֽהּ׃	Day and night they go around it on its walls, and iniquity and trouble are within it;	Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice and abuse are within it.
11	הַוּ֥וֹת בְּקִרְבָּ֑הּ וְֽלֹא־ יָמִ֥ישׁ מֵ֝רְחֹבָ֗הּ תֹּ֣ךְ וּמִרְמָֽה׃	ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace.	Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never leave its streets.
12	כִּ֤י לֹֽא־ אוֹיֵ֥ב יְחָֽרְפֵ֗נִי וְאֶ֫שָּׂ֥א לֹֽא־ מְ֭שַׂנְאִי עָלַ֣י הִגְדִּ֑יל וְאֶסָּתֵ֥ר מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃	For it is not an enemy who taunts me— then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me— then I could hide from him.	If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were rising against me, I could hide.
13	וְאַתָּ֣ה אֱנ֣וֹשׁ כְּעֶרְכִּ֑י אַ֝לּוּפִ֗י וּמְיֻדָּֽעִי׃	But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend.	But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend,
14	אֲשֶׁ֣ר יַ֭חְדָּו נַמְתִּ֣יק ס֑וֹד בְּבֵ֥ית אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים נְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בְּרָֽגֶשׁ׃	We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng.	with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship at the house of God, as we walked about among the worshipers.

Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the realm of the dead, for evil finds lodging among them.
16	אֲ֭נִי אֶל־ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֶקְרָ֑א וַ֝יהוָ֗ה יוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃	But I call to God, and the LORD will save me.	As for me, I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
17	עֶ֤רֶב וָבֹ֣קֶר וְ֭צָהֳרַיִם אָשִׂ֣יחָה וְאֶהֱמֶ֑ה וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע קוֹלִֽי׃	Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.	Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.
18	פָּ֘דָ֤ה בְשָׁל֣וֹם נַ֭פְשִׁי מִקֲּרָב־ לִ֑י כִּֽי־ בְ֝רַבִּ֗ים הָי֥וּ עִמָּדִֽי׃	He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.	He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19	יִשְׁמַ֤ע ׀ אֵ֨ל ׀ וְֽיַעֲנֵם֮ וְיֹ֤שֵׁ֥ב קֶ֗דֶם סֶ֥לָה אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵ֣ין חֲלִיפ֣וֹת לָ֑מוֹ וְלֹ֖א יָרְא֣וּ אֱלֹהִֽים׃	God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.	God, who is enthroned from of old, who does not change— he will hear them and humble them, because they have no fear of God.
20	שָׁלַ֣ח יָ֭דָיו בִּשְׁלֹמָ֗יו חִלֵּ֥ל בְּרִיתֽוֹ׃	My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant.	My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21	חָלְק֤וּ ׀ מַחְמָאֹ֣ת פִּיו֮ וּֽקֲרָב־ לִ֫בּ֥וֹ רַכּ֖וּ דְבָרָ֥יו מִשֶּׁ֗מֶן וְהֵ֣מָּה פְתִחֽוֹת׃	His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.	His talk is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.
22	הַשְׁלֵ֤ךְ עַל־ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ יְהָבְךָ֮ וְה֪וּא יְכַ֫לְכְּלֶ֥ךָ לֹא־ יִתֵּ֖ן לְעוֹלָ֥ם מ֗וֹט לַצַּדִּֽיק׃	Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.	Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
23	וְאַתָּ֤ה אֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ תּוֹרִדֵ֬ם ׀ לִבְאֵ֬ר שַׁ֗חַת אַנְשֵׁ֤י דָמִ֣ים וּ֭מִרְמָה לֹא־ יֶחֱצ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶבְטַח־ בָּֽךְ׃	But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.	But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay; the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.
