Tehillah 54 – תהלה נד

1For the Leader; with string-music. A Maskil of David.

2When the Zifim came and said to Sha’ul, “Does not David hide himself with us?”

3O Elohim, save me by Your Name, and right me by Your might.

4O Elohim, hear my tefilah; give ear to the words of my mouth.

5For strangers are risen up against me, and violent men have sought after my soul; they have not set Elohim before them. Selah.

6Behold, Elohim is my helper; Adonai is for me as the upholder of my soul.

7He will requite the evil unto them that lie in wait for me; destroy them in Your truth.

8With a Nedavah will I sacrifice unto You; I will give thanks unto Your Name, O  יהוה , for it is good.

9For He has delivered me out of all trouble; and my eye has gazed upon my enemies.

אלַמְנַצֵּחַ בִּנְגִינֹת מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִד.

בבְּבֹא הַזִּיפִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ לְשָׁאוּל: הֲלֹא דָוִד מִסְתַּתֵּר עִמָּנוּ.

גאֱלֹהִים בְּשִׁמְךָ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי; וּבִגְבוּרָתְךָ תְדִינֵנִי.

דאֱלֹהִים שְׁמַע תְּפִלָּתִי; הַאֲזִינָה לְאִמְרֵי פִי.

הכִּי זָרִים קָמוּ עָלַי וְעָרִיצִים בִּקְשׁוּ נַפְשִׁי; לֹא שָׂמוּ אֱלֹהִים לְנֶגְדָּם סֶלָה.

והִנֵּה אֱלֹהִים עֹזֵר לִי; אֲדֹנָי בְּסֹמְכֵי נַפְשִׁי.

זישוב (יָשִׁיב) הָרַע לְשֹׁרְרָי; בַּאֲמִתְּךָ הַצְמִיתֵם.

חבִּנְדָבָה אֶזְבְּחָה לָּךְ; אוֹדֶה שִּׁמְךָ יהוה כִּי טוֹב.

טכִּי מִכָּל צָרָה הִצִּילָנִי; וּבְאֹיְבַי רָאֲתָה עֵינִי.
