Psalm 64 (11'50")
64:2 shema`-'elohiym qoliybhesiychiy mippachadh 'oyêbh titsor chayyây
Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy. 64:3 tastiyrêniy missodhmerê`iym mêrighshath po`alêy 'âven Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity; 64:4 'asher shânenu khacherebh leshonâmdârekhu chitsâm dâbhâr mor Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word; 64:5 liyroth bammistâriym tom pith'om yoruhuvelo' yiyrâ'u That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 64:6 yechazzequ-lâmo dâbhâr râ` yesapperu lithmonmoqeshiym 'âmru miy yir'eh-lâmo They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them. 64:7 yachpesu-`oloth tamnu chêphesmechuppâs veqerebh 'iysh velêbh `âmoq They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart. 64:8 vayyorêm 'elohiym chêtspith'om hâyu makkothâm But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds. 64:9 vayyakhshiyluhu `âlêymo leshonâmyithnodhadhu kol-ro'êh bhâm So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head. 64:10 vayyiyr'u kol-'âdhâm vayyaggiydhupo`al 'elohiym uma`asêhu hiskiylu And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing. 64:11 yismach tsaddiyq bayhvhvechâsâh bho veyithhalelu kol-yishrêy-lêbh The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. |
