< Psalms 22 >

1 For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why have you forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּלֶת הַשַּׁחַר מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִֽישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃
2 O my God, I will cry to you by day, but you will not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.
אֱֽלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֻֽמִיָּה לִֽי׃
3 But you, the praise of Israel, dwell in a sanctuary.
וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
4 Our fathers hoped in you; they hoped, and you did deliver them.
בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמוֹ׃
5 They cried to you, and were saved: they hoped in you, and were not ashamed.
אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא־בֽוֹשׁוּ׃
6 But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא־אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָֽם׃
7 All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
כׇּל־רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
8 He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
גֹּל אֶל־יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵֽץ בּֽוֹ׃
9 For you are he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.
כִּֽי־אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל־שְׁדֵי אִמִּֽי׃
10 I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.
עָלֶיךָ הׇשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָֽתָּה׃
11 Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.
אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי־אֵין עוֹזֵֽר׃
12 Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.
סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃
13 They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.
פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵֽג׃
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּֽרְדוּ כׇּֽל־עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃
15 My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and you have brought me down to the dust of death.
יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְֽלַעֲפַר־מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵֽנִי׃
16 For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.
כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָֽי׃
17 They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
אֲסַפֵּר כׇּל־עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִֽי׃
18 They parted my garments [amongst] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָֽל׃
19 But you, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל־תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog.
הַצִּילָה מֵחֶרֶב נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד־כֶּלֶב יְחִידָתִֽי׃
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.
הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּי אַרְיֵה וּמִקַּרְנֵי רֵמִים עֲנִיתָֽנִי׃
22 I will declare your name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to you.
אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּ׃
23 You that fear the Lord, praise him; all you seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him.
יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה ׀ הַֽלְלוּהוּ כׇּל־זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כׇּל־זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
24 For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.
כִּי לֹֽא־בָזָה וְלֹא שִׁקַּץ עֱנוּת עָנִי וְלֹא־הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ וּֽבְשַׁוְּעוֹ אֵלָיו שָׁמֵֽעַ׃
25 My praise is of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
מֵאִתְּךָ תְּֽהִלָּתִי בְּקָהָל רָב נְדָרַי אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגֶד יְרֵאָֽיו׃
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall live for ever.
יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ יְהַֽלְלוּ יְהֹוָה דֹּרְשָׁיו יְחִי לְבַבְכֶם לָעַֽד׃
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord: and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before him.
יִזְכְּרוּ ׀ וְיָשֻׁבוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶיךָ כׇּֽל־מִשְׁפְּחוֹת גּוֹיִֽם׃
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he is the governor of the nations.
כִּי לַיהֹוָה הַמְּלוּכָה וּמֹשֵׁל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃
29 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him.
אָכְלוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ ׀ כׇּֽל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶרֶץ לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ כׇּל־יוֹרְדֵי עָפָר וְנַפְשׁוֹ לֹא חִיָּֽה׃
30 And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.
זֶרַע יַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ יְסֻפַּר לַֽאדֹנָי לַדּֽוֹר׃
31 And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
יָבֹאוּ וְיַגִּידוּ צִדְקָתוֹ לְעַם נוֹלָד כִּי עָשָֽׂה׃
