תהילים 17

תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִד שִׁמְעָה יְהוָה צֶדֶק הַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִי בְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָה׃

Tefila leDavid. Shim'a Adonai tzedek, hakshiva rinati, ha'azina tefilati belo siftei mirma.

A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, what is just; heed my cry, give ear to my prayer, uttered without guile.

מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵא עֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִים׃

Milefanecha mishpati yetze, einecha techezeina meisharim.

My vindication will come from You; Your eyes will behold what is right.

בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָה צְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָא זַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבָר־פִּי׃

Bachanta libi, pakadta layla, tzeraftani bal timtza, zamoti bal ya'avor pi.

You have visited me at night, probed my mind, You have tested me and found nothing amiss; I determined that my mouth should not transgress.

לִפְעֻלּוֹת אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָ אֲנִי שָׁמַרְתִּי אָרְחוֹת פָּרִיץ׃

Lif'ulot adam bidvar sefatecha, ani shamarti orchot paritz.

As for man's dealings, by the word of Your lips I have avoided the ways of the lawless.

תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתֶיךָ בַּל־נָמוֹטּוּ פְעָמָי׃

Tamoch ashurai bema'gelotecha, bal namotu fe'amai.

My feet have held to Your paths; my legs have not given way.

אֲנִי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵל הַט־אָזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִי׃

Ani keraticha chi ta'aneni El, hat oznecha li, shma imrati.

I call on You; You will answer me, God; turn Your ear to me, hear what I say.

הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ חוֹסִים מִמִּתְקוֹמְמִים בִּימִינֶךָ׃

Hafle chasadecha, moshi'a chosim mimitkomemim biminecha.

Display Your faithfulness in wondrous deeds, You who deliver with Your right hand those who seek refuge from assailants.

שָׁמְרֵנִי כְּאִישׁוֹן בַּת־עָיִן בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵנִי׃

Shomreni ke'ishon bat ayin, betzel kenafecha tastireni.

Guard me like the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings

מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִי אֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָי׃

Mipnei resha'im zu shaduni, oyvai benefesh yakifu alai.

from the wicked who despoil me, my mortal enemies who encircle me.

חֶלְבָּמוֹ סָּגְרוּ פִּימוֹ דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאוּת׃

Chelbamo sagru, pimo dibru vege'ut.

Their hearts are closed to pity; they mouth arrogance.

אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה סבבוני [סְבָבוּנוּ] עֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטוֹת בָּאָרֶץ׃

Ashurenu ata sevavunu, eineihem yashitu lintot ba'aretz.

Now they hem in our steps on every side; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.

דִּמְיֹנוֹ כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסוֹף לִטְרוֹף וְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרִים׃

Dimyono ke'arye yichsof litrof, vechechfir yoshev bemis'tarim.

He is like a lion eager for prey, a king of beasts lying in wait.

קוּמָה יְהוָה קַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּ פַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּךָ׃

Kuma Adonai, kadma fanav, hachri'ehu, palta nafshi merasha charbecha.

Rise, O LORD! Go forth to meet him. Bring him down; rescue me from the wicked with Your sword,

מִמְתִים יָדְךָ יְהוָה מִמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּחַיִּים וצפינך [וּצְפוּנְךָ] תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעוֹלְלֵיהֶם׃

Mimetim yadcha Adonai, mimetim mecheled chelkam bachayim, utzfuncha temale vitnam, yisbe'u vanim vehinnichu yitram le'olelehem.

from men, O LORD, with Your hand, from men whose share in life is fleeting. But as to Your treasured ones, fill their bellies; their sons too shall be satisfied, and have something to leave over for their young.

אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶךָ׃

Ani betzedek echeze fanecha, esbe'a vehakitz temunatecha.

Then I, justified, will behold Your face; awake, I am filled with the vision of You.
