1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1שיר מזמור לדוד נכון לבי אלהים אשירה ואזמרה אף כבודי׃
2O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
2עורה הנבל וכנור אעירה שחר׃
3They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.
3אודך בעמים יהוה ואזמרך בל אמים׃
4Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
4כי גדול מעל שמים חסדך ועד שחקים אמתך׃
5And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
5רומה על שמים אלהים ועל כל הארץ כבודך׃
6Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
6למען יחלצון ידידיך הושיעה ימינך וענני׃
7When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
7אלהים דבר בקדשו אעלזה אחלקה שכם ועמק סכות אמדד׃
8May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
8לי גלעד לי מנשה ואפרים מעוז ראשי יהודה מחקקי׃
9May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
9מואב סיר רחצי על אדום אשליך נעלי עלי פלשת אתרועע׃
10Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
10מי יבלני עיר מבצר מי נחני עד אדום׃
11May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
11הלא אלהים זנחתנו ולא תצא אלהים בצבאתינו׃
12May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
12הבה לנו עזרת מצר ושוא תשועת אדם׃
13May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
13באלהים נעשה חיל והוא יבוס צרינו׃
14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
