א לַמְנַצֵּחַ, עַל-שׁוּשַׁן עֵדוּת; מִכְתָּם לְדָוִד לְלַמֵּד.
|
1 For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach;
|
ב בְּהַצּוֹתוֹ, אֶת אֲרַם נַהֲרַיִם-- וְאֶת-אֲרַם צוֹבָה:
וַיָּשָׁב יוֹאָב, וַיַּךְ אֶת-אֱדוֹם בְּגֵיא-מֶלַח-- שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר אָלֶף.
|
2 when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, {N}
and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
|
|
ג אֱלֹהִים, זְנַחְתָּנוּ פְרַצְתָּנוּ; אָנַפְתָּ, תְּשׁוֹבֵב לָנוּ.
|
3 O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
|
|
ד הִרְעַשְׁתָּה אֶרֶץ פְּצַמְתָּהּ; רְפָה שְׁבָרֶיהָ כִי-מָטָה.
|
4 Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
|
|
ה הִרְאִיתָ עַמְּךָ קָשָׁה; הִשְׁקִיתָנוּ, יַיִן תַּרְעֵלָה.
|
5 Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
|
|
ו נָתַתָּה לִּירֵאֶיךָ נֵּס, לְהִתְנוֹסֵס-- מִפְּנֵי, קֹשֶׁט סֶלָה.
|
6 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
|
|
ז לְמַעַן, יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ; הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ ועננו (וַעֲנֵנִי).
|
7 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
|
|
ח אֱלֹהִים, דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ--אֶעְלֹזָה: אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם; וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּד.
|
8 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
|
|
ט לִי גִלְעָד, וְלִי מְנַשֶּׁה, וְאֶפְרַיִם, מָעוֹז רֹאשִׁי; יְהוּדָה, מְחֹקְקִי.
|
9 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
|
|
י מוֹאָב, סִיר רַחְצִי--עַל-אֱדוֹם, אַשְׁלִיךְ נַעֲלִי; עָלַי, פְּלֶשֶׁת הִתְרוֹעָעִי.
|
10 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
|
|
יא מִי יֹבִלֵנִי, עִיר מָצוֹר; מִי נָחַנִי עַד-אֱדוֹם.
|
11 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
|
|
יב הֲלֹא-אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים זְנַחְתָּנוּ; וְלֹא-תֵצֵא אֱלֹהִים, בְּצִבְאוֹתֵינוּ.
|
12 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
|
|
יג הָבָה-לָּנוּ עֶזְרָת מִצָּר; וְשָׁוְא, תְּשׁוּעַת אָדָם.
|
13 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
|
|
יד בֵּאלֹהִים נַעֲשֶׂה-חָיִל; וְהוּא, יָבוּס צָרֵינוּ.
|
14 Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries. {P}
