1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent.

1לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר אֱלֹהֵ֥י תְ֝הִלָּתִ֗י אַֽל־ תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃

2For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.

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

3They surround me with hateful words and attack me without cause.

3וְדִבְרֵ֣י שִׂנְאָ֣ה סְבָב֑וּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמ֥וּנִי חִנָּֽם׃

4In return for my love they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.

4תַּֽחַת־ אַהֲבָתִ֥י יִשְׂטְנ֗וּנִי וַאֲנִ֥י תְפִלָּֽה׃

5They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

5וַיָּ֘שִׂ֤ימוּ עָלַ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה וְ֝שִׂנְאָ֗ה תַּ֣חַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃

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

6הַפְקֵ֣ד עָלָ֣יו רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝שָׂטָ֗ן יַעֲמֹ֥ד עַל־ יְמִינֽוֹ׃

7When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayer be regarded as sin.

7בְּ֭הִשָּׁ֣פְטוֹ יֵצֵ֣א רָשָׁ֑ע וּ֝תְפִלָּת֗וֹ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַֽחֲטָאָֽה׃

8May his days be few; may another take his position.

8יִֽהְיֽוּ־ יָמָ֥יו מְעַטִּ֑ים פְּ֝קֻדָּת֗וֹ יִקַּ֥ח אַחֵֽר׃

9May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.

9יִֽהְיוּ־ בָנָ֥יו יְתוֹמִ֑ים וְ֝אִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃

10May his children wander as beggars, seeking sustenance far from their ruined homes.

10וְנ֤וֹעַ יָנ֣וּעוּ בָנָ֣יו וְשִׁאֵ֑לוּ וְ֝דָרְשׁ֗וּ מֵחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

11May the creditor seize all he owns, and strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.

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

12May there be no one to extend kindness to him, and no one to favor his fatherless children.

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

13May his descendants be cut off; may their name be blotted out from the next generation.

13יְהִֽי־ אַחֲרִית֥וֹ לְהַכְרִ֑ית בְּד֥וֹר אַ֝חֵ֗ר יִמַּ֥ח שְׁמָֽם׃

14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

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

15May their sins always remain before the LORD, that He may cut off their memory from the earth.

15יִהְי֣וּ נֶֽגֶד־ יְהוָ֣ה תָּמִ֑יד וְיַכְרֵ֖ת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃

16For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.

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

17The cursing that he loved, may it fall on him; the blessing in which he refused to delight, may it be far from him.

17וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ב קְ֭לָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵ֑הוּ וְֽלֹא־ חָפֵ֥ץ בִּ֝בְרָכָ֗ה וַתִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃

18The cursing that he wore like a coat, may it soak into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.

18וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ קְלָלָ֗ה כְּמַ֫דּ֥וֹ וַתָּבֹ֣א כַמַּ֣יִם בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃

19May it be like a robe wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.

19תְּהִי־ ל֭וֹ כְּבֶ֣גֶד יַעְטֶ֑ה וּ֝לְמֵ֗זַח תָּמִ֥יד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃

20May this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, to those who speak evil against me.

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

21But You, O GOD, the Lord, deal kindly with me for the sake of Your name; deliver me by the goodness of Your loving devotion.

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

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

22כִּֽי־ עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְי֣וֹן אָנֹ֑כִי וְ֝לִבִּ֗י חָלַ֥ל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃

23I am fading away like a lengthening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.

23כְּצֵל־ כִּנְטוֹת֥וֹ נֶהֱלָ֑כְתִּי נִ֝נְעַ֗רְתִּי כָּֽאַרְבֶּֽה׃

24My knees are weak from fasting, and my body grows lean and gaunt.

24בִּ֭רְכַּי כָּשְׁל֣וּ מִצּ֑וֹם וּ֝בְשָׂרִ֗י כָּחַ֥שׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃

25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.

25וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ הָיִ֣יתִי חֶרְפָּ֣ה לָהֶ֑ם יִ֝רְא֗וּנִי יְנִיע֥וּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃

26Help me, O LORD my God; save me according to Your loving devotion.

26עָ֭זְרֵנִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י ה֭וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃

27Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.

27וְֽ֭יֵדְעוּ כִּי־ יָ֣דְךָ זֹּ֑את אַתָּ֖ה יְהוָ֣ה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃

28Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.

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

29May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.

29יִלְבְּשׁ֣וּ שׂוֹטְנַ֣י כְּלִמָּ֑ה וְיַעֲט֖וּ כַמְעִ֣יל בָּשְׁתָּֽם׃

30With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely; I will praise Him in the presence of many.

30א֘וֹדֶ֤ה יְהוָ֣ה מְאֹ֣ד בְּפִ֑י וּבְת֖וֹךְ רַבִּ֣ים אֲהַֽלְלֶֽנּוּ׃

31For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.

31כִּֽי־ יַ֭עֲמֹד לִימִ֣ין אֶבְי֑וֹן לְ֝הוֹשִׁ֗יעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵ֥י נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
