Psalms 17

1Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִד שִׁמְעָה יְהוָה ׀ צֶדֶק הַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִי בְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָה׃ (4382)

2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵא עֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִים׃ (2010)

3Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי ׀ פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָה צְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָא זַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבָר־פִּי׃ (3415)

4Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

לִפְעֻלֹּות אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָ אֲנִי מַרְתִּי אָרְחֹות פָּרִיץ׃ (3385)

5Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלֹותֶיךָ בַּל־נָמֹוטּוּ פְעָמָי׃ (1895)

6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

אֲנִי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵל הַט־אָזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִי׃ (2626)

7Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מֹושִׁיעַ חֹוסִים מִמִּתְקֹומְמִים בִּימִינֶךָ׃ (1620)

8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

מְרֵנִי כְּאִישֹׁון בַּת־עָיִן בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵנִי׃ (2651)

9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִי אֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָי׃ (1954)

10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

חֶלְבָּמֹו סָּגְרוּ פִּימֹו דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאוּת׃ (1115)

11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה [סְבָבוּנִי כ] (סְבָבוּנוּ ק) עֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטֹות בָּאָרֶץ׃ (3117)

12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

דִּמְיֹנֹו כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסֹוף לִטְרֹוף וְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרִים׃ (2247)

13Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

קוּמָה יְהוָה קַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּ פַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּךָ׃ (2192)

14From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

מִמְתִים יָדְךָ ׀ יְהוָה מִמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּחַיִּים [וּצְפִינְךָ כ] (וּצְפוּנְךָ ק) תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעֹולְלֵיהֶם׃ (4096)

15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶךָ׃ (1939)
