1For the choir director. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men1לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ חַלְּצֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה מֵאָדָ֣ם רָ֑ע מֵאִ֖ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵֽנִי׃
2Who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars.2אֲשֶׁ֤ר חָשְׁב֣וּ רָע֣וֹת בְּלֵ֑ב כָּל־ י֝֗וֹם יָג֥וּרוּ מִלְחָמֽוֹת׃
3They sharpen their tongues as a serpent; Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.3שָֽׁנֲנ֣וּ לְשׁוֹנָם֮ כְּֽמוֹ־ נָ֫חָ֥שׁ חֲמַ֥ת עַכְשׁ֑וּב תַּ֖חַת שְׂפָתֵ֣ימוֹ סֶֽלָה׃
4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men Who have purposed to trip up my feet.4שָׁמְרֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מִ֘ידֵ֤י רָשָׁ֗ע מֵאִ֣ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵ֑נִי אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָ֝שְׁב֗וּ לִדְח֥וֹת פְּעָמָֽי׃
5The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set snares for me. Selah.5טָֽמְנֽוּ־ גֵאִ֨ים ׀ פַּ֡ח לִ֗י וַחֲבָלִ֗ים פָּ֣רְשׂוּ רֶ֭שֶׁת לְיַד־ מַעְגָּ֑ל מֹקְשִׁ֖ים שָֽׁתוּ־ לִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃
6I said to the LORD, "You are my God; Give ear, O LORD, to the voice of my supplications.6אָמַ֣רְתִּי לַ֭יהוָה אֵ֣לִי אָ֑תָּה הַאֲזִ֥ינָה יְ֝הוָ֗ה ק֣וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃
7"O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.7יְהֹוִ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי עֹ֣ז יְשׁוּעָתִ֑י סַכֹּ֥תָה לְ֝רֹאשִׁ֗י בְּי֣וֹם נָֽשֶׁק׃
8"Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; Do not promote his evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.8אַל־ תִּתֵּ֣ן יְ֭הוָה מַאֲוַיֵּ֣י רָשָׁ֑ע זְמָמ֥וֹ אַל־ תָּ֝פֵ֗ק יָר֥וּמוּ סֶֽלָה׃
9"As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them.9רֹ֥אשׁ מְסִבָּ֑י עֲמַ֖ל שְׂפָתֵ֣ימוֹ [יכסומו] (יְכַסֵּֽמוֹ׃‪‬)
10"May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise.10[ימיטו] (יִמּ֥וֹטוּ) עֲלֵיהֶ֗ם גֶּֽחָ֫לִ֥ים בָּאֵ֥שׁ יַפִּלֵ֑ם בְּ֝מַהֲמֹר֗וֹת בַּֽל־ יָקֽוּמוּ׃
11"May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily."11אִ֥ישׁ לָשׁוֹן֮ בַּל־ יִכּ֪וֹן בָּ֫אָ֥רֶץ אִישׁ־ חָמָ֥ס רָ֑ע יְ֝צוּדֶ֗נּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹֽת׃
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the poor.12[ידעת] (יָדַ֗עְתִּי) כִּֽי־ יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יְ֭הוָה דִּ֣ין עָנִ֑י מִ֝שְׁפַּ֗ט אֶבְיֹנִֽים׃
13Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.13אַ֣ךְ צַ֭דִּיקִים יוֹד֣וּ לִשְׁמֶ֑ךָ יֵשְׁב֥וּ יְ֝שָׁרִ֗ים אֶת־ פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
