וּבִגְבוּרָתְךָ תְדִינֵנִי. תִּנְקֹם נִקְמָתִי, כְּמוֹ ״כִּי יָדִין ה׳ עַמּוֹ״ (דברים לב:לו):

and with Your might, avenge me Heb. תדינני, Wreak my vengeance, as (Deut. 32:36): “When the Lord will avenge (ידין) His people.”

לְשׁוֹרְרָי. לְעוֹיְנַי, לְשׁוֹן ״אֲשׁוּרֶנּוּ וְלֹא קָרוֹב״ (במדבר כד:יז):

The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg

to those who lie in wait for me Heb. לשררי, those who eye me, an expression of (Num. 24:17): “I see him (אשורנו), but not near.”

בַּאֲמִתְּךָ. מִתּוֹךְ שֶׁאַתָּה אֲמִתִּי, וְאָמַרְתָּ לִיפָּרַע מֵהוֹלְכֵי רָכִיל וְרוֹדְפֵי הֶרֶג (תהלים קא:ה), לְכָךְ הַצְמִיתֵם:

with Your truth Since You are truthful, and You said that You would wreak vengeance upon talebearers and those who pursue to kill, therefore, cut them off.
