| כב:א וַיְדַבֵּר דָּוִד לַיקוק, אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת, בְּיוֹם הִצִּיל יקוק אֹתוֹ מִכַּף כָּל-אֹיְבָיו, וּמִכַּף שָׁאוּל. | 22:1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul; |
| ב וַיֹּאמַר: יקוק סַלְעִי וּמְצֻדָתִי, וּמְפַלְטִי-לִי. | 2 and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; |
| ג א-לקי צוּרִי, אֶחֱסֶה-בּוֹ; מָגִנִּי וְקֶרֶן יִשְׁעִי, מִשְׂגַּבִּי וּמְנוּסִי, מֹשִׁעִי, מֵחָמָס תֹּשִׁעֵנִי. | 3 The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence. |
| ד מְהֻלָּל, אֶקְרָא יקוק; וּמֵאֹיְבַי, אִוָּשֵׁעַ. | 4 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies. |
| ה כִּי אֲפָפֻנִי, מִשְׁבְּרֵי-מָוֶת; נַחֲלֵי בְלִיַּעַל, יְבַעֲתֻנִי. | 5 For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me. |
| ו חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל, סַבֻּנִי; קִדְּמֻנִי, מֹקְשֵׁי-מָוֶת. | 6 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. |
| ז בַּצַּר-לִי אֶקְרָא יקוק, וְאֶל-א-לקי אֶקְרָא; וַיִּשְׁמַע מֵהֵיכָלוֹ קוֹלִי, וְשַׁוְעָתִי בְּאָזְנָיו. | 7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears. |
| ח ותגעש (וַיִּתְגָּעַשׁ) וַתִּרְעַשׁ הָאָרֶץ, מוֹסְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִרְגָּזוּ; וַיִּתְגָּעֲשׁוּ, כִּי-חָרָה לוֹ. | 8 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth. |
| ט עָלָה עָשָׁן בְּאַפּוֹ, וְאֵשׁ מִפִּיו תֹּאכֵל; גֶּחָלִים, בָּעֲרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ. | 9 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him. |
| י וַיֵּט שָׁמַיִם, וַיֵּרַד; וַעֲרָפֶל, תַּחַת רַגְלָיו. | 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet. |
| יא וַיִּרְכַּב עַל-כְּרוּב, וַיָּעֹף; וַיֵּרָא, עַל-כַּנְפֵי-רוּחַ. | 11 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind. |
| יב וַיָּשֶׁת חֹשֶׁךְ סְבִיבֹתָיו, סֻכּוֹת; חַשְׁרַת-מַיִם, עָבֵי שְׁחָקִים. | 12 And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies. |
| יג מִנֹּגַהּ, נֶגְדּוֹ; בָּעֲרוּ, גַּחֲלֵי-אֵשׁ. | 13 At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth. |
| יד יַרְעֵם מִן-שָׁמַיִם, יקוק; וְעֶלְיוֹן, יִתֵּן קוֹלוֹ. | 14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice. |
| טו וַיִּשְׁלַח חִצִּים, וַיְפִיצֵם; בָּרָק, ויהמם (וַיָּהֹם). | 15 And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them. |
| טז וַיֵּרָאוּ אֲפִקֵי יָם, יִגָּלוּ מֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל; בְּגַעֲרַת יקוק, מִנִּשְׁמַת רוּחַ אַפּוֹ. | 16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils. |
| יז יִשְׁלַח מִמָּרוֹם, יִקָּחֵנִי; יַמְשֵׁנִי, מִמַּיִם רַבִּים. | 17 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters; |
| יח יַצִּילֵנִי, מֵאֹיְבִי עָז; מִשֹּׂנְאַי, כִּי אָמְצוּ מִמֶּנִּי. | 18 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me. |
| יט יְקַדְּמֻנִי, בְּיוֹם אֵידִי; וַיְהִי יקוק מִשְׁעָן, לִי. | 19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me. |
| כ וַיֹּצֵא לַמֶּרְחָב, אֹתִי; יְחַלְּצֵנִי, כִּי-חָפֵץ בִּי. | 20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me. |
| כא יִגְמְלֵנִי יקוק, כְּצִדְקָתִי; כְּבֹר יָדַי, יָשִׁיב לִי. | 21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me. |
| כב כִּי שָׁמַרְתִּי, דַּרְכֵי יקוק; וְלֹא רָשַׁעְתִּי, מֵא-לקי. | 22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. |
| כג כִּי כָל-מִשְׁפָּטָו, לְנֶגְדִּי; וְחֻקֹּתָיו, לֹא-אָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה. | 23 For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them. |
| כד וָאֶהְיֶה תָמִים, לוֹ; וָאֶשְׁתַּמְּרָה, מֵעֲונִי. | 24 And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. |
| כה וַיָּשֶׁב יקוק לִי, כְּצִדְקָתִי; כְּבֹרִי, לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו. | 25 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes. |
| כו עִם-חָסִיד, תִּתְחַסָּד; עִם-גִּבּוֹר תָּמִים, תִּתַּמָּם. | 26 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright, |
| כז עִם-נָבָר, תִּתָּבָר; וְעִם-עִקֵּשׁ, תִּתַּפָּל. | 27 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle. |
| כח וְאֶת-עַם עָנִי, תּוֹשִׁיעַ; וְעֵינֶיךָ עַל-רָמִים, תַּשְׁפִּיל. | 28 And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them. |
| כט כִּי-אַתָּה נֵירִי, יקוק; וַיקוק, יַגִּיהַּ חָשְׁכִּי. | 29 For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness. |
| ל כִּי בְכָה, אָרוּץ גְּדוּד; בֵּא-לקי, אֲדַלֶּג-שׁוּר. | 30 For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall. |
| לא הָאֵל, תָּמִים דַּרְכּוֹ; אִמְרַת יקוק, צְרוּפָה-- מָגֵן הוּא, לְכֹל הַחֹסִים בּוֹ. | 31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him. |
| לב כִּי מִי-אֵל, מִבַּלְעֲדֵי יקוק; וּמִי צוּר, מִבַּלְעֲדֵי א-לקינוּ. | 32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God? |
| לג הָאֵל מָעוּזִּי, חָיִל; וַיַּתֵּר תָּמִים, דרכו (דַּרְכִּי). | 33 The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight; |
| לד מְשַׁוֶּה רגליו (רַגְלַי), כָּאַיָּלוֹת; וְעַל בָּמֹתַי, יַעֲמִדֵנִי. | 34 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places; |
| לה מְלַמֵּד יָדַי, לַמִּלְחָמָה; וְנִחַת קֶשֶׁת-נְחוּשָׁה, זְרֹעֹתָי. | 35 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass. |
| לו וַתִּתֶּן-לִי, מָגֵן יִשְׁעֶךָ; וַעֲנֹתְךָ, תַּרְבֵּנִי. | 36 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great. |
| לז תַּרְחִיב צַעֲדִי, תַּחְתֵּנִי; וְלֹא מָעֲדוּ, קַרְסֻלָּי. | 37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped. |
| לח אֶרְדְּפָה אֹיְבַי, וָאַשְׁמִידֵם; וְלֹא אָשׁוּב, עַד-כַּלּוֹתָם. | 38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed. |
| לט וָאֲכַלֵּם וָאֶמְחָצֵם, וְלֹא יְקוּמוּן; וַיִּפְּלוּ, תַּחַת רַגְלָי. | 39 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet. |
| מ וַתַּזְרֵנִי חַיִל, לַמִּלְחָמָה; תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי, תַּחְתֵּנִי. | 40 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. |
| מא וְאֹיְבַי, תַּתָּה לִּי עֹרֶף; מְשַׂנְאַי, וָאַצְמִיתֵם. | 41 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off. |
| מב יִשְׁעוּ, וְאֵין מֹשִׁיעַ; אֶל-יקוק, וְלֹא עָנָם. | 42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not. |
| מג וְאֶשְׁחָקֵם, כַּעֲפַר-אָרֶץ; כְּטִיט-חוּצוֹת אֲדִקֵּם, אֶרְקָעֵם. | 43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down. |
| מד וַתְּפַלְּטֵנִי, מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי; תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ גּוֹיִם, עַם לֹא-יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻנִי. | 44 Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me. |
| מה בְּנֵי נֵכָר, יִתְכַּחֲשׁוּ-לִי; לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֹזֶן, יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִי. | 45 The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. |
| מו בְּנֵי נֵכָר, יִבֹּלוּ; וְיַחְגְּרוּ, מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָם. | 46 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places. |
| מז חַי-יקוק, וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי; וְיָרֻם, א-לקי צוּר יִשְׁעִי. | 47 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation; |
| מח הָאֵל, הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי; וּמֹרִיד עַמִּים, תַּחְתֵּנִי. | 48 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me, |
| מט וּמוֹצִיאִי, מֵאֹיְבָי; וּמִקָּמַי, תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי, מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים, תַּצִּילֵנִי. | 49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man. |
| נ עַל-כֵּן אוֹדְךָ יקוק, בַּגּוֹיִם; וּלְשִׁמְךָ, אֲזַמֵּר. | 50 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name. |
| נא מגדיל (מִגְדּוֹל), יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ; וְעֹשֶׂה-חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ, עַד-עוֹלָם. | 51 A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore. |
