Psalms 36

lamnatseakh le'eved-Adonai ledavid

For the leader. Of the servant of GOD, of David.

ne'um-pesha larasha beqerev libbi en-pakhad elohim leneged enayw

I know what Transgression says to the wicked; they have no sense of the dread of God,

ki-hekheliq elayw be'enayw limtso avono lisno

because its speech is seductive to them till their iniquity be found out and they be hated.

divre-fiv aven umirmah khadal lehaskil lehetiv

Their words are evil and deceitful; they will not consider doing good.

aven yakhshov al-mishkavo yityatsev al-derekh lo-tov ra lo yimas

In bed they plot mischief; they are set on a path of no good, they do not reject evil.

Adonai behashamayim khasdekha emunatekha ad-shekhaqim

O ETERNAL One, Your faithfulness reaches to heaven; Your steadfastness to the sky;

tsidqatekha keharre-el mishpatekha tehom rabbah adam-uvehemah toshia Adonai

Your beneficence is like the high mountains; Your justice like the great deep; human and animal You deliver, O ETERNAL One.

mah-yyaqar khasdekha elohim uvene adam betsel kenafekha yekhesayun

How precious is Your faithful care, O God! Humankind shelters in the shadow of Your wings.

yirveyun middeshen betekha venakhal adanekha tashqem

They feast on the rich fare of Your house; You let them drink at Your refreshing stream.

ki-immekha meqor khayyim be'orekha nireh-or

With You is the fountain of life; by Your light do we see light.

meshokh khasdekha leyode'ekha vetsidqatekha leyishre-lev

Bestow Your faithful care on those devoted to You, and Your beneficence on the upright.

al-tevo'eni regel ga'avah veyad-resha'im al-tenideni

Let not the foot of the arrogant tread on me, or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

sham nafelu po'ale aven dokhu velo-yakhelu qum

There lie the evildoers, fallen, thrust down, unable to rise.
