א לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-הַשְּׁמִינִית, מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד.

1 For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
|
ב הוֹשִׁיעָה יְהוָה, כִּי-גָמַר חָסִיד: כִּי-פַסּוּ אֱמוּנִים, מִבְּנֵי אָדָם.
|
2 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
|
ג שָׁוְא, יְדַבְּרוּ--אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ: שְׂפַת חֲלָקוֹת--בְּלֵב וָלֵב יְדַבֵּרוּ.
|
3 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
|
ד יַכְרֵת יְהוָה, כָּל-שִׂפְתֵי חֲלָקוֹת-- לָשׁוֹן, מְדַבֶּרֶת גְּדֹלוֹת.
|
4 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!
|
ה אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ, לִלְשֹׁנֵנוּ נַגְבִּיר--שְׂפָתֵינוּ אִתָּנוּ: מִי אָדוֹן לָנוּ.
|
5 Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'
|
ו מִשֹּׁד עֲנִיִּים, מֵאֶנְקַת אֶבְיוֹנִים: עַתָּה אָקוּם, יֹאמַר יְהוָה; אָשִׁית בְּיֵשַׁע, יָפִיחַ לוֹ.
|
6 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, {N} now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'
|
ז אִמְרוֹת יְהוָה, אֲמָרוֹת טְהֹרוֹת: כֶּסֶף צָרוּף, בַּעֲלִיל לָאָרֶץ; מְזֻקָּק, שִׁבְעָתָיִם.
|
7 The words of the LORD are pure words, {N} as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.
|
ח אַתָּה-יְהוָה תִּשְׁמְרֵם; תִּצְּרֶנּוּ, מִן-הַדּוֹר זוּ לְעוֹלָם.
|
8 Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.
|
ט סָבִיב, רְשָׁעִים יִתְהַלָּכוּן; כְּרֻם זֻלּוּת, לִבְנֵי אָדָם.
|
9 The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men. {P} |
