Tehillah 56 – תהלה נו – D'var יהוה , The Word of יהוה

¹For the Leader; upon Yonat Elem Rekhokim. For David; A Mikhtam; when the P’lishtim took him in Gat.

²Be gracious unto me, O Elohim, for man would swallow me up; all the day he, with fighting, oppresses me.

³They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Exalted One.

⁴In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.

⁵In Elohim, I will praise His D’var. In Elohim do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

⁶All the day they trouble my affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

⁷They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

⁸Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O Elohim.

⁹You have counted my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your Sefer?

¹⁰Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that Elohim is for me.

¹¹In Elohim, I will praise His D’var. In יהוה , I will praise His D’var.

¹²In Elohim do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?

¹³Your vows are upon me, O Elohim; I will render Todah offerings unto You.

¹⁴For You have delivered my soul from Mavet; have You not delivered my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before Elohim in Or HaKhayim?

^בחָנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּי שְׁאָפַנִי אֱנוֹשׁ; כָּל הַיּוֹם לֹחֵם יִלְחָצֵנִי.

^גשָׁאֲפוּ שׁוֹרְרַי כָּל הַיּוֹם: כִּי רַבִּים לֹחֲמִים לִי מָרוֹם.

^דיוֹם אִירָא אֲנִי אֵלֶיךָ אֶבְטָח.

^הבֵּאלֹהִים אֲהַלֵּל דְּבָרוֹ: בֵּאלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי לֹא אִירָא; מַה יַּעֲשֶׂה בָשָׂר לִי.

^וכָּל הַיּוֹם דְּבָרַי יְעַצֵּבוּ; עָלַי כָּל מַחְשְׁבֹתָם לָרָע.

^זיָגוּרוּ יצפינו (יִצְפּוֹנוּ) הֵמָּה עֲקֵבַי יִשְׁמֹרוּ: כַּאֲשֶׁר קִוּוּ נַפְשִׁי.

^חעַל אָוֶן פַּלֶּט לָמוֹ; בְּאַף עַמִּים הוֹרֵד אֱלֹהִים.

^טנֹדִי סָפַרְתָּה אָתָּה: שִׂימָה דִמְעָתִי בְנֹאדֶךָ; הֲלֹא בְּסִפְרָתֶךָ.

^יאָז יָשׁוּבוּ אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא; זֶה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אֱלֹהִים לִי.

^יאבֵּאלֹהִים אֲהַלֵּל דָּבָר; בַּיהוה אֲהַלֵּל דָּבָר.

^יבבֵּאלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי לֹא אִירָא; מַה יַּעֲשֶׂה אָדָם לִי.

^יגעָלַי אֱלֹהִים נְדָרֶיךָ; אֲשַׁלֵּם תּוֹדֹת לָךְ.

^ידכִּי הִצַּלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶת הֲלֹא רַגְלַי מִדֶּחִי: לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים בְּאוֹר הַחַיִּים.
