1 <Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite.> O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

1 שִׁגָּיֹ֗ון לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֥ר לַיהוָ֑ה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כ֝֗וּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃

2 So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

2 יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּךָ֣ חָסִ֑יתִי הֹושִׁיעֵ֥נִי מִכָּל־רֹ֝דְפַ֗י וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

3 פֶּן־יִטְרֹ֣ף כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י פֹּ֝רֵ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃

4 If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

4 יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂ֣יתִי זֹ֑את אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃

5 Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

5 אִם־גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֹֽׁולְמִ֥י רָ֑ע וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה צֹורְרִ֣י רֵיקָֽם׃

6 Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.

6 יִֽרַדֹּ֥ף אֹויֵ֨ב׀ נַפְשִׁ֡י וְיַשֵּׂ֗ג וְיִרְמֹ֣ס לָאָ֣רֶץ חַיָּ֑י וּכְבֹודִ֓י׀ לֶעָפָ֖ר יַשְׁכֵּ֣ן סֶֽלָה׃

7 The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.

7 ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה׀ בְּאַפֶּ֗ךָ הִ֭נָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרֹ֣ות צֹורְרָ֑י וְע֥וּרָה אֵ֝לַ֗י מִשְׁפָּ֥ט צִוִּֽיתָ׃

8 The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

8 וַעֲדַ֣ת לְ֭אֻמִּים תְּסֹובְבֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ לַמָּרֹ֥ום שֽׁוּבָה׃

9 O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

9 יְהוָה֮ יָדִ֪ין עַ֫מִּ֥ים שָׁפְטֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כְּצִדְקִ֖י וּכְתֻמִּ֣י עָלָֽי׃

10 God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.

10 יִגְמָר־נָ֬א רַ֨ע׀ רְשָׁעִים֮ וּתְכֹונֵ֪ן צַ֫דִּ֥יק וּבֹחֵ֣ן לִ֭בֹּ֗ות וּכְלָיֹ֗ות אֱלֹהִ֥ים צַדִּֽיק׃

11 God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.

11 מָֽגִנִּ֥י עַל־אֱלֹהִ֑ים מֹ֝ושִׁ֗יעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃

12 If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

12 אֱ֭לֹהִים שֹׁופֵ֣ט צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝אֵ֗ל זֹעֵ֥ם בְּכָל־יֹֽום׃

13 He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

13 אִם־לֹ֣א יָ֭שׁוּב חַרְבֹּ֣ו יִלְטֹ֑ושׁ קַשְׁתֹּ֥ו דָ֝רַ֗ךְ וַֽיְכֹונְנֶֽהָ׃

14 That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

14 וְ֭לֹו הֵכִ֣ין כְּלֵי־מָ֑וֶת חִ֝צָּ֗יו לְֽדֹלְקִ֥ים יִפְעָֽל׃

15 He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made

15 הִנֵּ֥ה יְחַבֶּל־אָ֑וֶן וְהָרָ֥ה עָ֝מָ֗ל וְיָ֣לַד שָֽׁקֶר׃

16 His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.

16 בֹּ֣ור כָּ֭רָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵ֑הוּ וַ֝יִּפֹּ֗ל בְּשַׁ֣חַת יִפְעָֽל׃

17 I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.

17 יָשׁ֣וּב עֲמָלֹ֣ו בְרֹאשֹׁ֑ו וְעַ֥ל קָ֝דְקֳדֹ֗ו חֲמָסֹ֥ו יֵרֵֽד׃
