Psalms 64 תְּהִלִּים

¹לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

lamnatzeach mizmor ledavid

1For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

²שְׁמַע־אֱלֹהִ֣ים קוֹלִ֣י בְשִׂיחִ֑י מִפַּ֥חַד א֝וֹיֵ֗ב תִּצֹּ֥ר חַיָּֽי׃

shema'-elohim koli vesichi mippachad oyev titzor chayyay

2Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

³תַּ֭סְתִּירֵנִי מִסּ֣וֹד מְרֵעִ֑ים מֵ֝רִגְשַׁ֗ת פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

tastireni missod mere'im merigshat po'ale aven

3Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

⁴אֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁנְנ֣וּ כַחֶ֣רֶב לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם דָּרְכ֥וּ חִ֝צָּ֗ם דָּבָ֥ר מָֽר׃

asher shannu khacherev leshonam darkhu chitzam davar mar

4Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

⁵לִיר֣וֹת בַּמִּסְתָּרִ֣ים תָּ֑ם פִּתְאֹ֥ם יֹ֝רֻ֗הוּ וְלֹ֣א יִירָֽאוּ׃

lirot bammistarim tam pit'om yoruhu velo yirau

5That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

⁶יְחַזְּקוּ־לָ֨מוֹ ׀ דָּ֘בָ֤ר רָ֗ע יְֽ֭סַפְּרוּ לִטְמ֣וֹן מוֹקְשִׁ֑ים אָ֝מְר֗וּ מִ֣י יִרְאֶה־לָּֽמוֹ׃

yechazzeku-lamo davar ra' yesapperu litmon mokshim amru mi yir'e-lamo

6They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

⁷יַֽחְפְּֽשׂוּ־עוֹלֹ֗ת תַּ֭מְנוּ חֵ֣פֶשׂ מְחֻפָּ֑שׂ וְקֶ֥רֶב אִ֝֗ישׁ וְלֵ֣ב עָמֹֽק׃

yachpesu-olot tamnu chefes mechuppas vekerev ish velev amok

7They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

⁸וַיֹּרֵ֗ם אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים חֵ֥ץ פִּתְא֑וֹם הָ֝י֗וּ מַכּוֹתָֽם׃

vayyorem elohim chetz pitom hayu makkotam

8But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

⁹וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּהוּ עָלֵ֣ימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם יִ֝תְנֹדֲד֗וּ כָּל־רֹ֥אֵה בָֽם׃

vayyakhshiluhu alemo leshonam yitnodadu kal-ro'e vam

9So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

¹⁰וַיִּֽירְא֗וּ כָּל־אָ֫דָ֥ם וַ֭יַּגִּידוּ פֹּ֥עַל אֱלֹהִ֗ים וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֥הוּ הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃

vayyiru kal-adam vayyaggidu po'al elohim uma'asehu hiskilu

10And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

¹¹יִשְׂמַ֬ח צַדִּ֣יק בַּ֭יהוָה וְחָ֣סָה ב֑וֹ וְ֝יִתְהַֽלְל֗וּ כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

yismach tzaddik baADONAI vechasa vo veyithallu kal-yishre-lev

11The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
