Ps 31

FFor the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness. (MT 31:2; LXX 30:1; LXX 30:2; Rahlfs 30:1; Rahlfs 30:2) לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ 2Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance. (MT 31:3; LXX 30:3; Rahlfs 30:3) בְּךָ֖ יְהוָ֣ה חָ֭סִיתִי אַל־אֵב֣וֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֥ פַלְּטֵֽנִי׃ 3For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name. (MT 31:4; LXX 30:4; Rahlfs 30:4) הַטֵּ֤ה אֵלַ֨י ׀ אָזְנְךָ֮ מְהֵרָ֪ה הַצִּ֫ילֵ֥נִי הֱיֵ֤ה לִ֨י ׀ לְֽצוּר־מָ֭עוֹז לְבֵ֥ית מְצוּד֗וֹת לְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃ 4You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge. (MT 31:5; LXX 30:5; Rahlfs 30:5) כִּֽי־סַלְעִ֣י וּמְצוּדָתִ֣י אָ֑תָּה וּלְמַ֥עַן שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ תַּֽנְחֵ֥נִי וּֽתְנַהֲלֵֽנִי׃ 5Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth. (MT 31:6; LXX 30:6; Rahlfs 30:6) תּוֹצִיאֵ֗נִי מֵרֶ֣שֶׁת ז֭וּ טָ֣מְנוּ לִ֑י כִּֽי־אַ֝תָּה מָֽעוּזִּֽי׃ 6I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the Lord I trust. (MT 31:7; LXX 30:7; Rahlfs 30:7) בְּיָדְךָ֮ אַפְקִ֪יד ר֫וּחִ֥י פָּדִ֖יתָה אוֹתִ֥י יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֣ל אֱמֶֽת׃ 7I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul. (MT 31:8; LXX 30:8; Rahlfs 30:8) שָׂנֵ֗אתִי הַשֹּׁמְרִ֥ים הַבְלֵי־שָׁ֑וְא וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶל־יְהוָ֥ה בָּטָֽחְתִּי׃ 8You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open. (MT 31:9; LXX 30:9; Rahlfs 30:9) אָגִ֥ילָה וְאֶשְׂמְחָ֗ה בְּחַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָ֭אִיתָ אֶת־עָנְיִ֑י יָ֝דַ֗עְתָּ בְּצָר֥וֹת נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 9Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well. (MT 31:10; LXX 30:10; Rahlfs 30:10) וְלֹ֣א הִ֭סְגַּרְתַּנִי בְּיַד־אוֹיֵ֑ב הֶֽעֱמַ֖דְתָּ בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב רַגְלָֽי׃ 10For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away. (MT 31:11; LXX 30:11; Rahlfs 30:11) חָנֵּ֥נִי יְהוָה֮ כִּ֤י צַ֫ר־לִ֥י עָשְׁשָׁ֖ה בְכַ֥עַס עֵינִ֗י נַפְשִׁ֥י וּבִטְנִֽי׃ 11Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends—they flee when they see me on the street. (MT 31:12; LXX 30:12; Rahlfs 30:12) כִּ֤י כָל֪וּ בְיָג֡וֹן חַיַּי֮ וּשְׁנוֹתַ֪י בַּאֲנָ֫חָ֥ה כָּשַׁ֣ל בַּעֲוֺנִ֣י כֹחִ֑י וַעֲצָמַ֥י עָשֵֽׁשׁוּ׃ 12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel. (MT 31:13; LXX 30:13; Rahlfs 30:13) מִכָּל־צֹרְרַ֨י הָיִ֪יתִי חֶרְפָּ֡ה וְלִשֲׁכֵנַ֨י ׀ מְאֹד֮ וּפַ֪חַד לִֽמְיֻדָּ֫עָ֥י רֹאַ֥י בַּח֑וּץ נָדְד֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ 13For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life. (MT 31:14; LXX 30:14; Rahlfs 30:14) נִ֭שְׁכַּחְתִּי כְּמֵ֣ת מִלֵּ֑ב הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כִּכְלִ֥י אֹבֵֽד׃ 14But I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” (MT 31:15; LXX 30:15; Rahlfs 30:15) כִּ֤י שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי ׀ דִּבַּ֥ת רַבִּים֮ מָג֪וֹר מִסָּ֫בִ֥יב בְּהִוָּסְדָ֣ם יַ֣חַד עָלַ֑י לָקַ֖חַת נַפְשִׁ֣י זָמָֽמוּ׃ 15My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. (MT 31:16; LXX 30:16; Rahlfs 30:16) וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ עָלֶ֣יךָ בָטַ֣חְתִּי יְהוָ֑ה אָ֝מַ֗רְתִּי אֱלֹהַ֥י אָֽתָּה׃ 16Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion. (MT 31:17; LXX 30:17; Rahlfs 30:17) בְּיָדְךָ֥ עִתֹּתָ֑י הַצִּ֘ילֵ֤נִי מִיַּד־א֝וֹיְבַ֗י וּמֵרֹדְפָֽי׃ 17O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol. (MT 31:18; LXX 30:18; Rahlfs 30:18) הָאִ֣ירָה פָ֭נֶיךָ עַל־עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ ה֖וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי בְחַסְדֶּֽךָ׃ 18May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt. (MT 31:19; LXX 30:19; Rahlfs 30:19) יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־אֵ֭בוֹשָׁה כִּ֣י קְרָאתִ֑יךָ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יִדְּמ֥וּ לִשְׁאֽוֹל׃ 19How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You! (MT 31:20; LXX 30:20; Rahlfs 30:20) תֵּ֥אָלַ֗מְנָה שִׂפְתֵ֫י שָׁ֥קֶר הַדֹּבְר֖וֹת עַל־צַדִּ֥יק עָתָ֗ק בְּגַאֲוָ֥ה וָבֽוּז׃ 20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues. (MT 31:21; LXX 30:21; Rahlfs 30:21) מָ֤ה רַֽב־טוּבְךָ֮ אֲשֶׁר־צָפַ֪נְתָּ לִּֽירֵ֫אֶ֥יךָ פָּ֭עַלְתָּ לַחֹסִ֣ים בָּ֑ךְ נֶ֝֗גֶד בְּנֵ֣י אָדָם׃ 21Blessed be the Lord, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege. (MT 31:22; LXX 30:22; Rahlfs 30:22) תַּסְתִּירֵ֤ם ׀ בְּסֵ֥תֶר פָּנֶיךָ֮ מֵֽרֻכְסֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵ֥ם בְּסֻכָּ֗ה מֵרִ֥יב לְשֹׁנֽוֹת׃ 22In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help. (MT 31:23; LXX 30:23; Rahlfs 30:23) בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֥י הִפְלִ֘יא חַסְדּ֥וֹ לִ֝֗י בְּעִ֣יר מָצֽוֹר׃ 23Love the Lord, all His saints. The Lord preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant. (MT 31:24; LXX 30:24; Rahlfs 30:24) וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אָ֘מַ֤רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֗י נִגְרַזְתִּי֮ מִנֶּ֪גֶד עֵ֫ינֶ֥יךָ אָכֵ֗ן שָׁ֭מַעְתָּ ק֥וֹל תַּחֲנוּנַ֗י בְּשַׁוְּעִ֥י אֵלֶֽיךָ׃ 24Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the Lord. (MT 31:25; LXX 30:25; Rahlfs 30:25) אֶֽהֱב֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֗ה כָּֽל־חֲסִ֫ידָ֥יו אֱ֭מוּנִים נֹצֵ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה וּמְשַׁלֵּ֥ם עַל־יֶ֝֗תֶר עֹשֵׂ֥ה גַאֲוָֽה׃
