Tehillim 37
Psalms Chapter 37 תְּהִלִּים
| א לְדָוִד: אַל-תִּתְחַר בַּמְּרֵעִים; אַל-תְּקַנֵּא, בְּעֹשֵׂי עַוְלָה. |
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness. |
| ב כִּי כֶחָצִיר, מְהֵרָה יִמָּלוּ; וּכְיֶרֶק דֶּשֶׁא, יִבּוֹלוּן. |
2 For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb. |
| ג בְּטַח בַּיהוָה, וַעֲשֵׂה-טוֹב; שְׁכָן-אֶרֶץ, וּרְעֵה אֱמוּנָה. |
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness. |
| ד וְהִתְעַנַּג עַל-יְהוָה; וְיִתֶּן-לְךָ, מִשְׁאֲלֹת לִבֶּךָ. |
4 So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart. |
| ה גּוֹל עַל-יְהוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ; וּבְטַח עָלָיו, וְהוּא יַעֲשֶׂה. |
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass. |
| ו וְהוֹצִיא כָאוֹר צִדְקֶךָ; וּמִשְׁפָּטֶךָ, כַּצָּהֳרָיִם. |
6 And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday. |
|
ז דּוֹם, לַיהוָה-- וְהִתְחוֹלֵל-לוֹ: אַל-תִּתְחַר, בְּמַצְלִיחַ דַּרְכּוֹ; בְּאִישׁ, עֹשֶׂה מְזִמּוֹת. |
7 Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; {N} fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. |
| ח הֶרֶף מֵאַף, וַעֲזֹב חֵמָה; אַל-תִּתְחַר, אַךְ-לְהָרֵעַ. |
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing. |
| ט כִּי-מְרֵעִים, יִכָּרֵתוּן; וְקֹוֵי יְהוָה, הֵמָּה יִירְשׁוּ-אָרֶץ. |
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land. |
| י וְעוֹד מְעַט, וְאֵין רָשָׁע; וְהִתְבּוֹנַנְתָּ עַל-מְקוֹמוֹ וְאֵינֶנּוּ. |
10 And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not. |
| יא וַעֲנָוִים יִירְשׁוּ-אָרֶץ; וְהִתְעַנְּגוּ, עַל-רֹב שָׁלוֹם. |
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. |
| יב זֹמֵם רָשָׁע, לַצַּדִּיק; וְחֹרֵק עָלָיו שִׁנָּיו. |
12 The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth. |
| יג אֲדֹנָי יִשְׂחַק-לוֹ: כִּי-רָאָה, כִּי-יָבֹא יוֹמוֹ. |
13 The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming. |
|
יד חֶרֶב, פָּתְחוּ רְשָׁעִים-- וְדָרְכוּ קַשְׁתָּם: לְהַפִּיל, עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן; לִטְבוֹחַ, יִשְׁרֵי-דָרֶךְ. |
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; {N} to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way; |
| טו חַרְבָּם, תָּבוֹא בְלִבָּם; וְקַשְּׁתוֹתָם, תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה. |
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. |
| טז טוֹב-מְעַט, לַצַּדִּיק-- מֵהֲמוֹן, רְשָׁעִים רַבִּים. |
16 Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked. |
| יז כִּי זְרוֹעוֹת רְשָׁעִים, תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה; וְסוֹמֵךְ צַדִּיקִים יְהוָה. |
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. |
| יח יוֹדֵעַ יְהוָה, יְמֵי תְמִימִם; וְנַחֲלָתָם, לְעוֹלָם תִּהְיֶה. |
18 The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever. |
| יט לֹא-יֵבֹשׁוּ, בְּעֵת רָעָה; וּבִימֵי רְעָבוֹן יִשְׂבָּעוּ. |
19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. |
| כ כִּי רְשָׁעִים, יֹאבֵדוּ, וְאֹיְבֵי יְהוָה, כִּיקַר כָּרִים; כָּלוּ בֶעָשָׁן כָּלוּ. |
20 For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs--they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away. |
| כא לֹוֶה רָשָׁע, וְלֹא יְשַׁלֵּם; וְצַדִּיק, חוֹנֵן וְנוֹתֵן. |
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth. |
| כב כִּי מְבֹרָכָיו, יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ; וּמְקֻלָּלָיו, יִכָּרֵתוּ. |
22 For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off. |
| כג מֵיְהוָה, מִצְעֲדֵי-גֶבֶר כּוֹנָנוּ; וְדַרְכּוֹ יֶחְפָּץ. |
23 It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way. |
| כד כִּי-יִפֹּל לֹא-יוּטָל: כִּי-יְהוָה, סוֹמֵךְ יָדוֹ. |
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand. |
|
כה נַעַר, הָיִיתִי-- גַּם-זָקַנְתִּי: וְלֹא-רָאִיתִי, צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב; וְזַרְעוֹ, מְבַקֶּשׁ-לָחֶם. |
25 I have been young, and now am old; {N} yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. |
| כו כָּל-הַיּוֹם, חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶה; וְזַרְעוֹ, לִבְרָכָה. |
26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. |
| כז סוּר מֵרָע, וַעֲשֵׂה-טוֹב; וּשְׁכֹן לְעוֹלָם. |
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. |
|
כח כִּי יְהוָה, אֹהֵב מִשְׁפָּט, וְלֹא-יַעֲזֹב אֶת-חֲסִידָיו, לְעוֹלָם נִשְׁמָרוּ; וְזֶרַע רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָת. |
28 For the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; {N} but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| כט צַדִּיקִים יִירְשׁוּ-אָרֶץ; וְיִשְׁכְּנוּ לָעַד עָלֶיהָ. |
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. |
| ל פִּי-צַדִּיק, יֶהְגֶּה חָכְמָה; וּלְשׁוֹנוֹ, תְּדַבֵּר מִשְׁפָּט. |
30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice. |
| לא תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהָיו בְּלִבּוֹ; לֹא תִמְעַד אֲשֻׁרָיו. |
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide. |
| לב צוֹפֶה רָשָׁע, לַצַּדִּיק; וּמְבַקֵּשׁ, לַהֲמִיתוֹ. |
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. |
| לג יְהוָה, לֹא-יַעַזְבֶנּוּ בְיָדוֹ; וְלֹא יַרְשִׁיעֶנּוּ, בְּהִשָּׁפְטוֹ. |
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged. |
|
לד קַוֵּה אֶל-יְהוָה, וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכּוֹ, וִירוֹמִמְךָ, לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץ; בְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶה. |
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; {N} when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. |
| לה רָאִיתִי, רָשָׁע עָרִיץ; וּמִתְעָרֶה, כְּאֶזְרָח רַעֲנָן. |
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil. |
| לו וַיַּעֲבֹר, וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ; וָאֲבַקְשֵׁהוּ, וְלֹא נִמְצָא. |
36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. |
| לז שְׁמָר-תָּם, וּרְאֵה יָשָׁר: כִּי-אַחֲרִית לְאִישׁ שָׁלוֹם. |
37 Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace. |
| לח וּפֹשְׁעִים, נִשְׁמְדוּ יַחְדָּו; אַחֲרִית רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָתָה. |
38 But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off. |
| לט וּתְשׁוּעַת צַדִּיקִים, מֵיְהוָה; מָעוּזָּם, בְּעֵת צָרָה. |
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. |
| מ וַיַּעְזְרֵם יְהוָה, וַיְפַלְּטֵם: יְפַלְּטֵם מֵרְשָׁעִים, וְיוֹשִׁיעֵם--כִּי-חָסוּ בוֹ. | 40 And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him. {P} |
