Ps 109

TTo the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; (LXX 108:1; Rahlfs 108:1) לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר אֱלֹהֵ֥י תְ֝הִלָּתִ֗י אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַֽשׁ׃ 2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. (LXX 108:2; Rahlfs 108:2) כִּ֤י פִ֪י רָשָׁ֡ע וּֽפִי־מִ֭רְמָה עָלַ֣י פָּתָ֑חוּ דִּבְּר֥וּ אִ֝תִּ֗י לְשׁ֣וֹן שָֽׁקֶר׃ 3They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. (LXX 108:3; Rahlfs 108:3) וְדִבְרֵ֣י שִׂנְאָ֣ה סְבָב֑וּנִי וַיִּֽלָּחֲמ֥וּנִי חִנָּֽם׃ 4For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. (LXX 108:4; Rahlfs 108:4) תַּֽחַת־אַהֲבָתִ֥י יִשְׂטְנ֗וּנִי וַאֲנִ֥י תְפִלָּֽה׃ 5And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. (LXX 108:5; Rahlfs 108:5) וַיָּ֘שִׂ֤ימוּ עָלַ֣י רָ֭עָה תַּ֣חַת טוֹבָ֑ה וְ֝שִׂנְאָ֗ה תַּ֣חַת אַהֲבָתִֽי׃ 6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. (LXX 108:6; Rahlfs 108:6) הַפְקֵ֣ד עָלָ֣יו רָשָׁ֑ע וְ֝שָׂטָ֗ן יַעֲמֹ֥ד עַל־יְמִינֽוֹ׃ 7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. (LXX 108:7; Rahlfs 108:7) בְּ֭הִשָּׁ֣פְטוֹ יֵצֵ֣א רָשָׁ֑ע וּ֝תְפִלָּת֗וֹ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַֽחֲטָאָֽה׃ 8Let his days be few; and let another take his office. (LXX 108:8; Rahlfs 108:8) יִֽהְיֽוּ־יָמָ֥יו מְעַטִּ֑ים פְּ֝קֻדָּת֗וֹ יִקַּ֥ח אַחֵֽר׃ 9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. (LXX 108:9; Rahlfs 108:9) יִֽהְיוּ־בָנָ֥יו יְתוֹמִ֑ים וְ֝אִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃ 10Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. (LXX 108:10; Rahlfs 108:10) וְנ֤וֹעַ יָנ֣וּעוּ בָנָ֣יו וְשִׁאֵ֑לוּ וְ֝דָרְשׁ֗וּ מֵחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ 11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. (LXX 108:11; Rahlfs 108:11) יְנַקֵּ֣שׁ נ֭וֹשֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־ל֑וֹ וְיָבֹ֖זּוּ זָרִ֣ים יְגִיעֽוֹ׃ 12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. (LXX 108:12; Rahlfs 108:12) אַל־יְהִי־ל֭וֹ מֹשֵׁ֣ךְ חָ֑סֶד וְֽאַל־יְהִ֥י ח֝וֹנֵ֗ן לִיתוֹמָֽיו׃ 13Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. (LXX 108:13; Rahlfs 108:13) יְהִֽי־אַחֲרִית֥וֹ לְהַכְרִ֑ית בְּד֥וֹר אַ֝חֵ֗ר יִמַּ֥ח שְׁמָֽם׃ 14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. (LXX 108:14; Rahlfs 108:14) יִזָּכֵ֤ר ׀ עֲוֺ֣ן אֲ֭בֹתָיו אֶל־יְהוָ֑ה וְחַטַּ֥את אִ֝מּ֗וֹ אַל־תִּמָּֽח׃ 15Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. (LXX 108:15; Rahlfs 108:15) יִהְי֣וּ נֶֽגֶד־יְהוָ֣ה תָּמִ֑יד וְיַכְרֵ֖ת מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ 16Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. (LXX 108:16; Rahlfs 108:16) יַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א זָכַר֮ עֲשׂ֪וֹת חָ֥סֶד וַיִּרְדֹּ֡ף אִישׁ־עָנִ֣י וְ֭אֶבְיוֹן וְנִכְאֵ֨ה לֵבָ֬ב לְמוֹתֵֽת׃ 17As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. (LXX 108:17; Rahlfs 108:17) וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ב קְ֭לָלָה וַתְּבוֹאֵ֑הוּ וְֽלֹא־חָפֵ֥ץ בִּ֝בְרָכָ֗ה וַתִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ 18As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. (LXX 108:18; Rahlfs 108:18) וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ קְלָלָ֗ה כְּמַ֫דּ֥וֹ וַתָּבֹ֣א כַמַּ֣יִם בְּקִרְבּ֑וֹ וְ֝כַשֶּׁ֗מֶן בְּעַצְמוֹתָֽיו׃ 19Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. (LXX 108:19; Rahlfs 108:19) תְּהִי־ל֭וֹ כְּבֶ֣גֶד יַעְטֶ֑ה וּ֝לְמֵ֗זַח תָּמִ֥יד יַחְגְּרֶֽהָ׃ 20Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. (LXX 108:20; Rahlfs 108:20) זֹ֤את פְּעֻלַּ֣ת שֹׂ֭טְנַי מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וְהַדֹּבְרִ֥ים רָ֝֗ע עַל־נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 21But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. (LXX 108:21; Rahlfs 108:21) וְאַתָּ֤ה ׀ יְה֘וִ֤ה אֲדֹנָ֗י עֲֽשֵׂה־אִ֭תִּי לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּי־ט֥וֹב חַ֝סְדְּךָ֗ הַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ 22For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. (LXX 108:22; Rahlfs 108:22) כִּֽי־עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְי֣וֹן אָנֹ֑כִי וְ֝לִבִּ֗י חָלַ֥ל בְּקִרְבִּֽי׃ 23I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. (LXX 108:23; Rahlfs 108:23) כְּצֵל־כִּנְטוֹת֥וֹ נֶהֱלָ֑כְתִּי נִ֝נְעַ֗רְתִּי כָּֽאַרְבֶּֽה׃ 24My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. (LXX 108:24; Rahlfs 108:24) בִּ֭רְכַּי כָּשְׁל֣וּ מִצּ֑וֹם וּ֝בְשָׂרִ֗י כָּחַ֥שׁ מִשָּֽׁמֶן׃ 25I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. (LXX 108:25; Rahlfs 108:25) וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ הָיִ֣יתִי חֶרְפָּ֣ה לָהֶ֑ם יִ֝רְא֗וּנִי יְנִיע֥וּן רֹאשָֽׁם׃ 26Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy: (LXX 108:26; Rahlfs 108:26) עָ֭זְרֵנִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י ה֭וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי כְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃ 27That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. (LXX 108:27; Rahlfs 108:27) וְֽ֭יֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָ֣דְךָ זֹּ֑את אַתָּ֖ה יְהוָ֣ה עֲשִׂיתָֽהּ׃ 28Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. (LXX 108:28; Rahlfs 108:28) יְקַֽלְלוּ־הֵמָּה֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תְבָ֫רֵ֥ךְ קָ֤מוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹ֗שׁוּ וְֽעַבְדְּךָ֥ יִשְׂמָֽח׃ 29Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. (LXX 108:29; Rahlfs 108:29) יִלְבְּשׁ֣וּ שׂוֹטְנַ֣י כְּלִמָּ֑ה וְיַעֲט֖וּ כַמְעִ֣יל בָּשְׁתָּֽם׃ 30I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. (LXX 108:30; Rahlfs 108:30) א֘וֹדֶ֤ה יְהוָ֣ה מְאֹ֣ד בְּפִ֑י וּבְת֖וֹךְ רַבִּ֣ים אֲהַֽלְלֶֽנּוּ׃ 31For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. (LXX 108:31; Rahlfs 108:31) כִּֽי־יַ֭עֲמֹד לִימִ֣ין אֶבְי֑וֹן לְ֝הוֹשִׁ֗יעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵ֥י נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
