תהלים נ"ב
א׳ לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃
1 For the leader. A maskil of David,
1 For the Leader. Maschil of David;
ב׳ בְּב֤וֹא ׀ דּוֹאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֑וֹ בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל־בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
2 when Doeg the Edomite came and informed Saul, telling him, “David came to Ahimelech’s house.”
2 when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.'
ג׳ מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבּ֑וֹר חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃
3 Why do you boast of your evil, brave fellow?
God’s faithfulness never ceases.
3 Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.
ד׳ הַ֭וּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשׁוֹנֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃
4 Your tongue devises mischief,
like a sharpened razor that works treacherously.
4 Thy tongue deviseth destruction; Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
ה׳ אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטּ֑וֹב שֶׁ֓קֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה׃
5 You prefer evil to good,
the lie, to speaking truthfully. Selah.
5 Thou lovest evil more than good; Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
ו׳ אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָ֗לַע לְשׁ֣וֹן מִרְמָֽה׃
6 You love all pernicious words,
treacherous speech.
6 Thou lovest all devouring words, The deceitful tongue.
ז׳ גַּם־אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֨ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
7 So God will tear you down for good,
will break you and pluck you from your tent,
and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
7 God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah
ח׳ וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃
8 The righteous, seeing it, will be awestruck;
they will jibe at him, saying,
8 The righteous also shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him:
ט׳ הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזּ֥וֹ וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁר֑וֹ יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ׃
9 “Here was a fellow who did not make God his refuge,
but trusted in his great wealth,
relied upon his mischief.”
9 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.'
י׳ וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ כְּזַ֣יִת רַ֭עֲנָן בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהִ֑ים בָּטַ֥חְתִּי בְחֶֽסֶד־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
10 But I am like a thriving olive tree in God’s house;
I trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
10 But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
י"א אוֹדְךָ֣ לְ֭עוֹלָם כִּ֣י עָשִׂ֑יתָ וַאֲקַוֶּ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֥ כִֽי־ט֝֗וֹב נֶ֣גֶד חֲסִידֶֽיךָ׃
11 I praise You forever, for You have acted;
I declare that Your name is good
in the presence of Your faithful ones.
11 I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; And I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.
