Psalms 52 תְּהִלִּים

¹לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃

lamnatzeach maskil ledavid

1For the Leader. Maschil of David;

²בְּב֤וֹא ׀ דּוֹאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֑וֹ בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל־בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃

bevo do'eg ha'adomi vayyagged leshaul vayyomer lo ba david el-bet achimelekh

2when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.'

³מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבּ֑וֹר חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃

ma-tithallel bera'a haggibbor chesed el kal-hayyom

3Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

⁴הַ֭וּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשׁוֹנֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃

havvot tachshov leshonekha keta'ar meluttash ose remiyya

4Thy tongue deviseth destruction; Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

⁵אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטּ֑וֹב שֶׁ֓קֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה׃

ahavta ra' mittov sheker middabber tzedek sela

5Thou lovest evil more than good; Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah

⁶אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָ֗לַע לְשׁ֣וֹן מִרְמָֽה׃

ahavta khal-divre-vala' leshon mirma

6Thou lovest all devouring words, The deceitful tongue.

⁷גַּם־אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֨ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

gam-el yittatzkha lanetzach yachtekha veyissachakha me'ohel veshereshkha me'eretz chayyim sela

7God 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

⁸וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃

veyiru tzaddikim veyirau ve'alav yischaku

8The righteous also shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him:

⁹הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזּ֥וֹ וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁר֑וֹ יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ׃

hinne haggever lo yasim elohim ma'uzo vayyivtach berov ashro ya'oz behavvato

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.'

¹⁰וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ כְּזַ֣יִת רַ֭עֲנָן בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהִ֑ים בָּטַ֥חְתִּי בְחֶֽסֶד־אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

va'ani kezayit ra'anan bevet elohim batachti vechesed-elohim olam va'ed

10But 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.

¹¹אוֹדְךָ֣ לְ֭עוֹלָם כִּ֣י עָשִׂ֑יתָ וַאֲקַוֶּ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֥ כִֽי־ט֝֗וֹב נֶ֣גֶד חֲסִידֶֽיךָ׃

odkha le'olam ki asita va'akavve shimkha khi-tov neged chasidekha

11I 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.
