א
לַמְנַצֵּחַ אַל-תַּשְׁחֵת, לְדָוִד מִכְתָּם.
|
1
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Michtam.
|
|
ב
הַאֻמְנָם--אֵלֶם צֶדֶק, תְּדַבֵּרוּן; מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ, בְּנֵי אָדָם.
|
2
Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
|
|
ג
אַף-בְּלֵב, עוֹלֹת תִּפְעָלוּן: בָּאָרֶץ--חֲמַס יְדֵיכֶם, תְּפַלֵּסוּן.
|
3
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
|
|
ד
זֹרוּ רְשָׁעִים מֵרָחֶם; תָּעוּ מִבֶּטֶן, דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב.
|
4
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
|
|
ה
חֲמַת-לָמוֹ, כִּדְמוּת חֲמַת-נָחָשׁ; כְּמוֹ-פֶתֶן חֵרֵשׁ, יַאְטֵם אָזְנוֹ.
|
5
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
|
|
ו
אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יִשְׁמַע, לְקוֹל מְלַחֲשִׁים; חוֹבֵר חֲבָרִים מְחֻכָּם.
|
6
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
|
|
ז
אֱלֹהִים--הֲרָס שִׁנֵּימוֹ בְּפִימוֹ; מַלְתְּעוֹת כְּפִירִים, נְתֹץ יְהוָה.
|
7
Break their teeth, O Eloheem, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O YAHOWAH.
|
ח
יִמָּאֲסוּ כְמוֹ-מַיִם, יִתְהַלְּכוּ-לָמוֹ;
יִדְרֹךְ חִצָּו, כְּמוֹ יִתְמֹלָלוּ.
|
8
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace;
{N}
when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
|
|
ט
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל, תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ; נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת, בַּל-חָזוּ שָׁמֶשׁ.
|
9
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
|
|
י
בְּטֶרֶם, יָבִינוּ סִּירֹתֵכֶם אָטָד; כְּמוֹ-חַי כְּמוֹ-חָרוֹן, יִשְׂעָרֶנּוּ.
|
10
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
|
|
יא
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק, כִּי-חָזָה נָקָם; פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ, בְּדַם הָרָשָׁע.
|
11
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
|
|
יב
וְיֹאמַר אָדָם, אַךְ-פְּרִי לַצַּדִּיק; אַךְ יֵשׁ-אֱלֹהִים, שֹׁפְטִים בָּאָרֶץ.
|
12
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a Eloheem that judgeth in the earth.'
{P}
