א לְדָוִד: יְהוָה,
אוֹרִי וְיִשְׁעִי--מִמִּי אִירָא;
יְהוָה מָעוֹז-חַיַּי, מִמִּי אֶפְחָד. |
1 [A Psalm] of David. HaShem is my light and my salvation; whom
shall I fear? {N}
HaShem is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
|
ב בִּקְרֹב עָלַי, מְרֵעִים--
לֶאֱכֹל אֶת-בְּשָׂרִי:
צָרַי וְאֹיְבַי לִי; הֵמָּה כָשְׁלוּ וְנָפָלוּ. |
2 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, {N}
even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
|
ג אִם-תַּחֲנֶה עָלַי, מַחֲנֶה--
לֹא-יִירָא לִבִּי:
אִם-תָּקוּם עָלַי, מִלְחָמָה-- בְּזֹאת, אֲנִי בוֹטֵחַ. |
3 Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;
{N}
though war should rise up against me, even then will I be confident.
|
ד אַחַת, שָׁאַלְתִּי
מֵאֵת-יְהוָה-- אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ:
שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית-יְהוָה, כָּל-יְמֵי חַיַּי;
לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם-יְהוָה, וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ. |
4 One thing have I asked of HaShem , that will I seek after:
{N}
that I may dwell in the house of HaShem all the days of my life, {N}
to behold the graciousness of HaShem , and to visit early in His temple.
|
ה כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי, בְּסֻכֹּה--
בְּיוֹם רָעָה:
יַסְתִּרֵנִי, בְּסֵתֶר אָהֳלוֹ; בְּצוּר, יְרוֹמְמֵנִי. |
5 For He concealeth me in His pavilion in the day of evil;
{N}
He hideth me in the covert of His tent; He lifteth me up upon a rock.
|
ו וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי, עַל
אֹיְבַי סְבִיבוֹתַי, וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאָהֳלוֹ, זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה;
אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה, לַיהוָה. |
6 And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about
me; and I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; {N}
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto HaShem .
|
| ז שְׁמַע-יְהוָה קוֹלִי אֶקְרָא;
וְחָנֵּנִי וַעֲנֵנִי. |
7 Hear, O HaShem , when I call with my voice, and be gracious unto me,
and answer me.
|
| ח לְךָ, אָמַר לִבִּי--בַּקְּשׁוּ
פָנָי; אֶת-פָּנֶיךָ יְהוָה אֲבַקֵּשׁ. |
8 In Thy behalf my heart hath said: 'Seek ye My face'; Thy face, HaShem ,
will I seek.
|
ט אַל-תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ,
מִמֶּנִּי-- אַל תַּט-בְּאַף, עַבְדֶּךָ:
עֶזְרָתִי הָיִיתָ; אַל-תִּטְּשֵׁנִי וְאַל-תַּעַזְבֵנִי, אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי. |
9 Hide not Thy face from me; put not Thy servant away in anger;
{N}
Thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O YHWH Eloheinu of my salvation.
|
| י כִּי-אָבִי וְאִמִּי
עֲזָבוּנִי; וַיהוָה יַאַסְפֵנִי. |
10 For though my father and my mother have forsaken me, HaShem will
take me up.
|
| יא הוֹרֵנִי יְהוָה, דַּרְכֶּךָ:
וּנְחֵנִי, בְּאֹרַח מִישׁוֹר--לְמַעַן, שׁוֹרְרָי. |
11 Teach me Thy way, O HaShem ; and lead me in an even path, because of
them that lie in wait for me.
|
| יב אַל-תִּתְּנֵנִי, בְּנֶפֶשׁ
צָרָי: כִּי קָמוּ-בִי עֵדֵי-שֶׁקֶר, וִיפֵחַ חָמָס. |
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine adversaries; for false
witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.
|
| יג לוּלֵא--הֶאֱמַנְתִּי,
לִרְאוֹת בְּטוּב-יְהוָה: בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּים. |
13 If I had not believed to look upon the goodness of HaShem in the
land of the living!--
|
| יד קַוֵּה, אֶל-יְהוָה:
חֲזַק, וְיַאֲמֵץ לִבֶּךָ; וְקַוֵּה, אֶל-יְהוָה. |
14 Wait on HaShem ; be strong, and let thy heart take courage; yea,
wait thou for HaShem . {P} |
