STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֹור אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.
2 כִּי פִי רָשָׁע וּפִי־מִרְמָה עָלַי פָּתָחוּ דִּבְּרוּ אִתִּי לְשֹׁון שָׁקֶר	2 O God, be not thou silent in thy praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
3 וְדִבְרֵי שִׂנְאָה סְבָבוּנִי וַיִּלָּחֲמוּנִי חִנָּם	3 They have spoken against with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.
4 תַּחַת־אַהֲבָתִי יִשְׂטְנוּנִי וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּה	4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
5 וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלַי רָעָה תַּחַת טֹובָה וְשִׂנְאָה תַּחַת אַהֲבָתִי	5 And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
6 הַפְקֵד עָלָיו רָשָׁע וְשָׂטָן יַעֲמֹד עַל־יְמִינֹו	6 Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
7 בְּהִשָּׁפְטֹו יֵצֵא רָשָׁע וּתְפִלָּתֹו תִּהְיֶה לַחֲטָאָה	7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
8 יִהְיוּ־יָמָיו מְעַטִּים פְּקֻדָּתֹו יִקַּח אַחֵר	8 May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
9 יִהְיוּ־בָנָיו יְתֹומִים וְאִשְׁתֹּו אַלְמָנָה	9 May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 וְנֹועַ יָנוּעוּ בָנָיו וְשִׁאֵלוּ וְדָרְשׁוּ מֵחָרְבֹותֵיהֶם	10 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
11 יְנַקֵּשׁ נֹושֶׁה לְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו וְיָבֹזּוּ זָרִים יְגִיעֹו	11 May the userer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
12 אַל־יְהִי־לֹו מֹשֵׁךְ חָסֶד וְאַל־יְהִי חֹונֵן לִיתֹומָיו	12 May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
13 יְהִי־אַחֲרִיתֹו לְהַכְרִית בְּדֹור אַחֵר יִמַּח שְׁמָם	13 May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
14 יִזָּכֵר ׀ עֲוֹן אֲבֹתָיו אֶל־יְהוָה וְחַטַּאת אִמֹּו אַל־תִּמָּח	14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 יִהְיוּ נֶגֶד־יְהוָה תָּמִיד וְיַכְרֵת מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָם	15 May they be before the lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth:
16 יַעַן אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא זָכַר עֲשֹׂות חָסֶד וַיִּרְדֹּף אִישׁ־עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון וְנִכְאֵה לֵבָב לְמֹותֵת	16 because he remembered not to show mercy,
17 וַיֶּאֱהַב קְלָלָה וַתְּבֹואֵהוּ וְלֹא־חָפֵץ בִּבְרָכָה וַתִּרְחַק מִמֶּנּוּ	17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
18 וַיִּלְבַּשׁ קְלָלָה כְּמַדֹּו וַתָּבֹא כַמַּיִם בְּקִרְבֹּו וְכַשֶּׁמֶן בְּעַצְמֹותָיו	18 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
19 תְּהִי־לֹו כְּבֶגֶד יַעְטֶה וּלְמֵזַח תָּמִיד יַחְגְּרֶהָ	19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
20 זֹאת פְּעֻלַּת טְנַי מֵאֵת יְהוָה וְהַדֹּבְרִים רָע עַל־נַפְשִׁי	20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul.
21 וְאַתָּה ׀ יְהוִה אֲדֹנָי עֲ‍שֵׂה־אִתִּי לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ כִּי־טֹוב חַסְדְּךָ הַצִּילֵנִי	21 But thou, O Lord, do with for thy names sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me.
22 כִּי־עָנִי וְאֶבְיֹון אָנֹכִי וְלִבִּי חָלַל בְּקִרְבִּי	22 for I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me.
23 כְּצֵל־כִּנְטֹותֹו נֶהֱלָכְתִּי נִנְעַרְתִּי כָּאַרְבֶּה	23 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts.
24 בִּרְכַּי כָּשְׁלוּ מִצֹּום וּבְשָׂרִי כָּחַשׁ מִשָּׁמֶן	24 My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil.
25 וַאֲנִי ׀ הָיִיתִי חֶרְפָּה לָהֶם יִרְאוּנִי יְנִיעוּן רֹאשָׁם	25 And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads,
26 עָזְרֵנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי הֹושִׁיעֵנִי כְחַסְדֶּךָ	26 Help me, O Lord my God; save me according to thy mercy.
27 וְיֵדְעוּ כִּי־יָדְךָ זֹּאת אַתָּה יְהוָה עֲשִׂיתָהּ	27 And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
28 יְקַלְלוּ־הֵמָּה וְאַתָּה תְבָרֵךְ קָמוּ ׀ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ וְעַבְדְּךָ יִשְׂמָח	28 They will curse and thou will bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
29 יִלְבְּשׁוּ שֹׂוטְנַי כְּלִמָּה וְיַעֲטוּ כַמְעִיל בָּשְׁתָּם	29 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with the their confusion as with a double cloak.
30 אֹודֶה יְהוָה מְאֹד בְּפִי וּבְתֹוךְ רַבִּים אֲהַלְלֶנּוּ	30 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him.
31 כִּי־יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיֹון לְהֹושִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשֹׁו	31 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors
