2
חַלְּצֵנִי יְהוָה מֵאָדָם רָע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵנִי
Deliver me, O HaShem, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
Ἐξελοῦ με Κύριε ἐξ ἀνθρώπου πονηροῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκου ῥῦσαί με·
Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; Deliver me from the unjust man.
3
אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ רָעוֹת בְּלֵב כָּל־יוֹם יָגוּרוּ מִלְחָמוֹת
Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο ἀδικίας ἐν καρδίᾳ, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν παρετάσσοντο πολέμους.
Who have devised injustice in their hearts; All the day they prepared war.
4
שָׁנֲנוּ לְשׁוֹנָם כְּמוֹ־נָחָשׁ חֲמַת עַכְשׁוּב תַּחַת שְׂפָתֵימוֹ סֶלָה
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah
Ἠκόνησαν γλῶσσαν αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ ὄφεως, ἰὸς ἀσπίδων ὑπὸ τὰ χείλη αὐτῶν· διάψαλμα.
They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Pause.
5
שָׁמְרֵנִי יְהוָה מִידֵי רָשָׁע מֵאִישׁ חֲמָסִים תִּנְצְרֵנִי אֲשֶׁר חָשְׁבוּ לִדְחוֹת פְּעָמָי
Keep me, O HaShem, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.
Φύλαξόν με Κύριε ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀδίκων ἐξελοῦ με· οἵτινες ἐλογίσαντο τοῦ ὑποσκελίσαι τὰ διαβήματά μου.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; Rescue me from unjust men; Who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
6
טָמְנוּ־גֵאִים פַּח לִי וַחֲבָלִים פָּרְשׂוּ רֶשֶׁת לְיַד־מַעְגָּל מֹקְשִׁים שָׁתוּ־לִי סֶלָה
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah
Ἔκρυψαν ὑπερήφανοι παγίδα μοι· καὶ σχοινία διέτειναν παγίδας τοῖς ποσί μου, ἐχόμενα τρίβου σκάνδαλον ἔθεντό μοι· διάψαλμα.
The proud have hidden a snare for me, And have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; They set a stumbling block for me near the path. Pause.
7
אָמַרְתִּי לַיהוָה אֵלִי אָתָּה הַאֲזִינָה יְהוָה קוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי
I have said unto HaShem: 'Thou art my G-d'; give ear, O HaShem, unto the voice of my supplications.
Εἶπα τῷ Κυρίῳ, Θεός μου εἶ σὺ· ἐνώτισαι, Κύριε, τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; Hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
8
יְהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֹז יְשׁוּעָתִי סַכֹּתָה לְרֹאשִׁי בְּיוֹם נָשֶׁק
O GOD the L-rd, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
Κύριε Κύριε, δύναμις τῆς σωτηρίας μου, ἐπεσκίασας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν μου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πολέμου.
O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; Thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.
9
אַל־תִּתֵּן יְהוָה מַאֲוַיֵּי רָשָׁע זְמָמוֹ אַל־תָּפֵק יָרוּמוּ סֶלָה
Grant not, O HaShem, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah
Μὴ παραδῷς με, Κύριε, ἀπὸ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας μου ἁμαρτωλῷ· διελογίσαντο κατʼ ἐμοῦ, μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με, μή ποτε ὑψωθῶσι· διάψαλμα.
Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: They have devised [mischief] against me; Forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. Pause.
10
רֹאשׁ מְסִבָּי עֲמַל שְׂפָתֵימוֹ יכסומו יְכַסֵּמוֹ
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ κυκλώματος αὐτῶν, κόπος τῶν χειλέων αὐτῶν καλύψει αὐτούς.
[As for] the head of them that compass me, The mischief of their lips shall cover them.
11
ימיטו יִמּוֹטוּ עֲלֵיהֶם גֶּחָלִים בָּאֵשׁ יַפִּלֵם בְּמַהֲמֹרוֹת בַּל־יָקוּמוּ
Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Πεσοῦνται ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἄνθρακες πυρὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ καταβαλεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ταλαιπωρίαις, οὐ μὴ ὑποστῶσιν.
Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; And thou shalt cast them down in afflictions: They shall not bear up [under them].
12
אִישׁ לָשׁוֹן בַּל־יִכּוֹן בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ־חָמָס רָע יְצוּדֶנּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹת
A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.
Ἀνὴρ γλωσσώδης οὐ κατευθυνθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· ἄνδρα ἄδικον κακὰ θηρεύσει εἰς καταφθοράν.
A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: Evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
13
ידעת יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־יַעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה דִּין עָנִי מִשְׁפַּט אֶבְיֹנִים
I know that HaShem will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.
Ἔγνων ὅτι ποιήσει Κύριος τὴν κρίσιν τοῦ πτωχοῦ, καὶ τὴν δίκην τῶν πενήτων.
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, And the right of the needy ones.
14
אַךְ צַדִּיקִים יוֹדוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ יֵשְׁבוּ יְשָׁרִים אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
Πλὴν δίκαιοι ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου, κατοικήσουσιν εὐθεῖς σὺν τῷ προσώπῳ σου.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
