תהילים 31

לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד׃

Lamnatzei'ach, mizmor leDavid.

For the leader. A psalm of David.

בְּךָ־יְהוָה חָסִיתִי אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ פַלְּטֵנִי׃

Becha Adonai chasiti, al evosha le'olam, betzidkatcha paleteni.

In You, O LORD, I seek refuge; may I never be disappointed; as You are righteous, rescue me.

הַטֵּה אֵלַי אָזְנְךָ מְהֵרָה הַצִּילֵנִי הֱיֵה לִי לְצוּר־מָעוֹז לְבֵית מְצוּדוֹת לְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי׃

Hate elai oznecha, mehera hatzileni, heyeh li letzur ma'oz, leveit metzudot lehoshi'eni.

Turn Your ear to me; be quick to save me; be a rock, a stronghold for me, a citadel, for my deliverance.

כִּי־סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אָתָּה וּלְמַעַן שִׁמְךָ תַּנְחֵנִי וּתְנַהֲלֵנִי׃

Ki sal'i umetzudati ata, ulema'an shimcha tancheni utenahaleni.

For You are my rock and my fortress; You lead me and guide me as befits Your name.

תּוֹצִיאֵנִי מֵרֶשֶׁת זוּ טָמְנוּ לִי כִּי־אַתָּה מָעוּזִּי׃

Totzi'eni mereshet zu tamnu li, ki ata ma'uzi.

You free me from the net laid for me, for You are my stronghold.

בְּיָדְךָ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי פָּדִיתָה אוֹתִי יְהוָה אֵל אֱמֶת׃

Beyadcha afkid ruchi, padita oti Adonai El emet.

Into Your hand I entrust my spirit; You redeem me, O LORD, faithful God.

שָׂנֵאתִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַבְלֵי־שָׁוְא וַאֲנִי אֶל־יְהוָה בָּטָחְתִּי׃

Saneti hashomrim havlei shav, va'ani el Adonai batachti.

I detest those who rely on empty folly, but I trust in the LORD.

אָגִילָה וְאֶשְׂמְחָה בְּחַסְדֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתָ אֶת־עָנְיִי יָדַעְתָּ בְּצָרוֹת נַפְשִׁי׃

Agila ve'esmecha bechasdecha, asher ra'ita et onyi, yadata betzarot nafshi.

Let me exult and rejoice in Your faithfulness when You notice my affliction, are mindful of my deep distress,

וְלֹא הִסְגַּרְתַּנִי בְּיַד־אוֹיֵב הֶעֱמַדְתָּ בַמֶּרְחָב רַגְלָי׃

Velo hisgartani beyad oyev, he'emadta vamerchav raglai.

and do not hand me over to my enemy, but grant me relief.

חָנֵּנִי יְהוָה כִּי צַר־לִי עָשְׁשָׁה בְכַעַס עֵינִי נַפְשִׁי וּבִטְנִי׃

Chaneni Adonai ki tzar li, ashsha vecha'as eini, nafshi uvitni.

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes are wasted by vexation, my substance and body too.

כִּי כָלוּ בְיָגוֹן חַיַּי וּשְׁנוֹתַי בַּאֲנָחָה כָּשַׁל בַּעֲוֺנִי כֹחִי וַעֲצָמַי עָשֵׁשׁוּ׃

Ki chalu veyagon chayai ushnotai ba'anacha, kashal ba'avoni chochi va'atzamai osheshu.

My life is spent in sorrow, my years in groaning; my strength fails because of my iniquity, my bones are wasted away.

מִכָּל־צֹרְרַי הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה וְלִשְׁכֵנַי מְאֹד וּפַחַד לִמְיֻדָּעָי רֹאַי בַּחוּץ נָדְדוּ מִמֶּנִּי׃

Mikol tzorerai hayiti cherpa, velishchenai me'od, ufachad limyuda'ai, ro'ai bachuz nadedu mimeni.

Because of all my foes I am the particular butt of my neighbors, a horror to my friends; those who see me on the street avoid me.

נִשְׁכַּחְתִּי כְּמֵת מִלֵּב הָיִיתִי כִּכְלִי אֹבֵד׃

Nishkachti kemet milev, hayiti kichli oved.

I am put out of mind like the dead; I am like an object given up for lost.

כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי דִּבַּת רַבִּים מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב בְּהִוָּסְדָם יַחַד עָלַי לָקַחַת נַפְשִׁי זָמָמוּ׃

Ki shamati dibat rabim, magor misaviv, behivasdam yachad alai, lakachat nafshi zamamu.

I hear the whisperings of many, intrigue on every side, as they scheme together against me, plotting to take my life.

וַאֲנִי עָלֶיךָ בָטַחְתִּי יְהוָה אָמַרְתִּי אֱלֹהַי אָתָּה׃

Va'ani alecha vatachti Adonai, amarti Elohai ata.

But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."

בְּיָדְךָ עִתֹּתָי הַצִּילֵנִי מִיַּד־אוֹיְבַי וּמֵרֹדְפָי׃

Beyadcha itotai, hatzileni miyad oyvai umerodfai.

My fate is in Your hand; save me from the hand of my enemies and pursuers.

הָאִירָה פָנֶיךָ עַל־עַבְדֶּךָ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי בְחַסְדֶּךָ׃

Ha'ira fanecha al avdecha, hoshi'eni vechasdecha.

Show favor to Your servant; as You are faithful, deliver me.

יְהוָה אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה כִּי קְרָאתִיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ רְשָׁעִים יִדְּמוּ לִשְׁאוֹל׃

Adonai al evosha ki keraticha, yevoshu resha'im yidmu lish'ol.

O LORD, let me not be disappointed when I call You; let the wicked be disappointed; let them be silenced in Sheol.

תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי שָׁקֶר הַדֹּבְרוֹת עַל־צַדִּיק עָתָק בְּגַאֲוָה וָבוּז׃

Te'alamna siftei shaker, hadovrot al tzadik atak bega'ava vavuz.

Let lying lips be stilled that speak haughtily against the righteous with arrogance and contempt.

מָה רַב־טוּבְךָ אֲשֶׁר־צָפַנְתָּ לִּירֵאֶיךָ פָּעַלְתָּ לַחֹסִים בָּךְ נֶגֶד בְּנֵי אָדָם׃

Ma rav tuvcha asher tzafanta lirei'echa, pa'alta lachosim bach neged benei adam.

How abundant is the good that You have in store for those who fear You, that You do in the full view of men for those who take refuge in You.

תַּסְתִּירֵם בְּסֵתֶר פָּנֶיךָ מֵרֻכְסֵי אִישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵם בְּסֻכָּה מֵרִיב לְשֹׁנוֹת׃

Tastirem beseter panecha meruchsei ish, titzpenem besuka meriv leshonot.

You grant them the shelter of Your presence against scheming men; You shelter them in Your pavilion from contentious tongues.

בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה כִּי הִפְלִיא חַסְדּוֹ לִי בְּעִיר מָצוֹר׃

Baruch Adonai ki hifli chasdo li be'ir matzor.

Blessed is the LORD, for He has been wondrously faithful to me, a veritable bastion.

וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי נִגְרַזְתִּי מִנֶּגֶד עֵינֶיךָ אָכֵן שָׁמַעְתָּ קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִי אֵלֶיךָ׃

Va'ani amarti vechofzi nigrazti mineged einecha, achen shamata kol tachanunai beshav'i elecha.

Alarmed, I had thought, "I am thrust out of Your sight"; yet You listened to my plea for mercy when I cried out to You.

אֶהֱבוּ אֶת־יְהוָה כָּל־חֲסִידָיו אֱמוּנִים נֹצֵר יְהוָה וּמְשַׁלֵּם עַל־יֶתֶר עֹשֵׂה גַאֲוָה׃

Ehevu et Adonai kol chasidav, emunim notzer Adonai, umeshalem al yeter oseh ga'ava.

Love the LORD, all you faithful; the LORD guards the loyal, and more than requites him who acts arrogantly.

חִזְקוּ וְיַאֲמֵץ לְבַבְכֶם כָּל־הַמְיַחֲלִים לַיהוָה׃

Chizku veya'ametz levavchem, kol hamyachalim laAdonai.

Be strong and of good courage, all you who wait for the LORD.
