Chapter 17
1תְּפִלָּה לְדָוִד שִׁמְעָה יְהֹוָה צֶדֶק הַקְשִׁיבָה רִנָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה תְפִלָּתִי בְּלֹא שִׂפְתֵי מִרְמָֽהA prayer of David. Hear, O ETERNAL One, what is just; heed my cry, give ear to my prayer, uttered without guile.Tefilah ledavid shimah Adonai tzedek hakshivah rinati haazinah tefilati belo siftey mirmah
2מִלְּפָנֶיךָ מִשְׁפָּטִי יֵצֵא עֵינֶיךָ תֶּחֱזֶינָה מֵישָׁרִֽיםMy vindication will come from You; Your eyes will behold what is right.Milfaneycha mishpati yetze eyneycha techezeynah meysharim
3בָּחַנְתָּ לִבִּי פָּקַדְתָּ לַּיְלָה צְרַפְתַּנִי בַל־תִּמְצָא זַמֹּתִי בַּל־יַעֲבׇר־פִּֽיYou have visited me at night, probed my mind, You have tested me and found nothing amiss; I determined that my mouth should not transgress.Bachanta libi pakadta laylah tzeraftani val-timtza zamoti bal-yaavor-pi
4לִפְעֻלּוֹת אָדָם בִּדְבַר שְׂפָתֶיךָ אֲנִי שָׁמַרְתִּי אׇרְחוֹת פָּרִֽיץAs for mortals’ dealings, in accord with the command of Your lips, I have kept in view the fate of the lawless.Lifulot adam bidvar sefateycha ani shamarti orchot paritz
5תָּמֹךְ אֲשֻׁרַי בְּמַעְגְּלוֹתֶיךָ בַּל־נָמוֹטּוּ פְעָמָֽיMy feet have held to Your paths; my legs have not given way.Tamoch ashuray bemagloteycha bal-namotu feamay
6אֲנִֽי־קְרָאתִיךָ כִֽי־תַעֲנֵנִי אֵל הַֽט־אׇזְנְךָ לִי שְׁמַע אִמְרָתִֽיI call on You; You will answer me, God; turn Your ear to me, hear what I say.Ani-keraticha chi-taaneni el hat-ozncha li shema imrati
7הַפְלֵה חֲסָדֶיךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ חוֹסִים מִמִּתְקוֹמְמִים בִּֽימִינֶֽךָDisplay Your faithfulness in wondrous deeds, You who deliver with Your right hand those who seek refuge from assailants.Hafleh chasadeycha moshia chosim mimitkommim biminecha
8שׇׁמְרֵנִי כְּאִישׁוֹן בַּת־עָיִן בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ תַּסְתִּירֵֽנִיGuard me like the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wingsShomreni keishon bat-ayin betzel kenafeycha tastireni
9מִפְּנֵי רְשָׁעִים זוּ שַׁדּוּנִי אֹיְבַי בְּנֶפֶשׁ יַקִּיפוּ עָלָֽיfrom the wicked who despoil me, my mortal enemies who encircle me.Mipney reshaim zu shaduni oyvay benefesh yakifu alay
10חֶלְבָּמוֹ סָּגְרוּ פִּימוֹ דִּבְּרוּ בְגֵאֽוּתTheir hearts are closed to pity; they mouth arrogance;Chelbamo sagru pimo dibru vegeut
11אַשֻּׁרֵינוּ עַתָּה (סבבוני) [סְבָבוּנוּ] עֵינֵיהֶם יָשִׁיתוּ לִנְטוֹת בָּאָֽרֶץnow they hem in our feet on every side; they set their eyes roaming over the land.Ashureynu atah (svvvny) [sevavunu] eyneyhem yashitu lintot baaretz
12דִּמְיֹנוֹ כְּאַרְיֵה יִכְסוֹף לִטְרֹף וְכִכְפִיר יֹשֵׁב בְּמִסְתָּרִֽיםThey are like a lion eager for prey, a king of beasts lying in wait.Dimyono kearyeh yichsof litrof vechichfir yoshev bemistarim
13קוּמָה יְהֹוָה קַדְּמָה פָנָיו הַכְרִיעֵהוּ פַּלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי מֵרָשָׁע חַרְבֶּֽךָRise, O ETERNAL One! Go forth to meet my enemies. Bring them down; rescue me from the wicked with Your sword,Kumah Adonai kadmah fanayv hachriehu paltah nafshi merasha charbecha
14מִמְתִֽים־יָדְךָ יְהֹוָה מִֽמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּֽחַיִּים (וצפינך) [וּֽצְפוּנְךָ] תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעוֹלְלֵיהֶֽםfrom mortals, O ETERNAL One, with Your hand, from mortals whose share in life is fleeting. But as to Your treasured ones, fill their bellies. Their children too shall be satisfied, and have something to leave over for their young.Mimtim-yadcha Adonai mimtim mecheled chelkam bachayim (vtzfynch) [utzfuncha] temale vitnam yisbu vanim vehinichu yitram leolleyhem
15אֲנִי בְּצֶדֶק אֶחֱזֶה פָנֶיךָ אֶשְׂבְּעָה בְהָקִיץ תְּמוּנָתֶֽךָThen I, justified, will behold Your face; awake, I am filled with the vision of You.Ani betzedek echezeh faneycha esbah vehakitz temunatecha
