Psalms 22
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DOE OF THE MORNING.” A PSALM OF DAVID. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Far from My salvation, The words of My roaring?
| לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּ֥לֶת הַשַּׁ֗חַר מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֵלִ֣י אֵ֭לִי לָמָ֣ה עֲזַבְתָּ֑נִי רָחֹ֥וק מִֽ֝ישׁוּעָתִ֗י דִּבְרֵ֥י שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃ |
2 My God, I call by day, and You do not answer, And by night, and am not silent.
| אֱֽלֹהַ֗י אֶקְרָ֣א יֹ֖ומָם וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֶ֑ה וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֽוּמִיָּ֥ה לִֽי׃ |
3 And You [are] holy, Sitting—the Praise of Israel.
| וְאַתָּ֥ה קָדֹ֑ושׁ יֹ֝ושֵׁ֗ב תְּהִלֹּ֥ות יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted, and You deliver them.
| בְּ֭ךָ בָּטְח֣וּ אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בָּ֝טְח֗וּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמֹו׃ |
5 To You they cried, and were delivered, In You they trusted, and were not disappointed.
| אֵלֶ֣יךָ זָעֲק֣וּ וְנִמְלָ֑טוּ בְּךָ֖ בָטְח֣וּ וְלֹא־בֹֽושׁוּ׃ |
6 And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
| וְאָנֹכִ֣י תֹולַ֣עַת וְלֹא־אִ֑ישׁ חֶרְפַּ֥ת אָ֝דָ֗ם וּבְז֥וּי עָֽם׃ |
7 All beholding Me mock at Me, They make free with the lip—shake the head,
| כָּל־רֹ֭אַי יַלְעִ֣גוּ לִ֑י יַפְטִ֥ירוּ בְ֝שָׂפָ֗ה יָנִ֥יעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ |
8 “Roll to YHWH, He delivers Him, He delivers Him, for He delighted in Him.”
| גֹּ֣ל אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה יְפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ יַ֝צִּילֵ֗הוּ כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בֹּֽו׃ |
9 For You [are] He bringing Me forth from the womb, Causing Me to trust, On the breasts of My mother.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה גֹחִ֣י מִבָּ֑טֶן מַ֝בְטִיחִ֗י עַל־שְׁדֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃ |
10 On You I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of My mother You [are] My God.
| עָ֭לֶיךָ הָשְׁלַ֣כְתִּי מֵרָ֑חֶם מִבֶּ֥טֶן אִ֝מִּ֗י אֵ֣לִי אָֽתָּה׃ |
11 Do not be far from Me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
| אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִ֭מֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָ֣ה קְרֹובָ֑ה כִּי־אֵ֥ין עֹוזֵֽר׃ |
12 Many bulls have surrounded Me, Mighty ones of Bashan have surrounded Me,
| סְ֭בָבוּנִי פָּרִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים אַבִּירֵ֖י בָשָׁ֣ן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃ |
13 They have opened their mouth against Me, A lion tearing and roaring.
| פָּצ֣וּ עָלַ֣י פִּיהֶ֑ם אַ֝רְיֵ֗ה טֹרֵ֥ף וְשֹׁאֵֽג׃ |
14 I have been poured out as waters, And all my bones have separated themselves, My heart has been like wax, It is melted in the midst of My bowels.
| כַּמַּ֥יִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי֮ וְהִתְפָּֽרְד֗וּ כָּֽל־עַצְמֹ֫ותָ֥י הָיָ֣ה לִ֭בִּי כַּדֹּונָ֑ג נָ֝מֵ֗ס בְּתֹ֣וךְ מֵעָֽי׃ |
15 My power is dried up as an earthen vessel, And My tongue is cleaving to My jaws.
| יָ֘בֵ֤שׁ כַּחֶ֨רֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִ֗י וּ֖לְשֹׁונִי מֻדְבָּ֣ק מַלְקֹוחָ֑י וְֽלַעֲפַר־מָ֥וֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵֽנִי׃ |
16 And You appoint Me to the dust of death, For dogs have surrounded Me, A company of evildoers has surrounded Me, Piercing My hands and My feet.
| כִּ֥י סְבָב֗וּנִי כְּלָ֫בִ֥ים עֲדַ֣ת מְ֭רֵעִים הִקִּיפ֑וּנִי כָּ֝אֲרִ֗י יָדַ֥י וְרַגְלָֽי׃ |
17 I count all My bones—they look expectingly, They look on Me,
| אֲסַפֵּ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמֹותָ֑י הֵ֥מָּה יַ֝בִּ֗יטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִֽי׃ |
18 They apportion My garments to themselves, And they cause a lot to fall for My clothing.
| יְחַלְּק֣וּ בְגָדַ֣י לָהֶ֑ם וְעַל־לְ֝בוּשִׁ֗י יַפִּ֥ילוּ גֹורָֽל׃ |
19 And You, O YHWH, do not be far off, O My strength, hurry to help Me.
| וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־תִּרְחָ֑ק אֱ֝יָלוּתִ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חֽוּשָׁה׃ |
20 Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of a dog.
| הַצִּ֣ילָה מֵחֶ֣רֶב נַפְשִׁ֑י מִיַּד־כֶּ֝֗לֶב יְחִידָתִֽי׃ |
21 Save Me from the mouth of a lion And You have answered Me from the horns of the high places!
| הֹ֭ושִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּ֣י אַרְיֵ֑ה וּמִקַּרְנֵ֖י רֵמִ֣ים עֲנִיתָֽנִי׃ |
22 I declare Your Name to My brothers, In the midst of the assembly I praise You.
| אֲסַפְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְאֶחָ֑י בְּתֹ֖וךְ קָהָ֣ל אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּ׃ |
23 You who fear YHWH, praise Him, All the seed of Jacob, honor Him, And be afraid of Him, all you seed of Israel.
| יִרְאֵ֤י יְהוָ֨ה ׀ הַֽלְל֗וּהוּ כָּל־זֶ֣רַע יַעֲקֹ֣ב כַּבְּד֑וּהוּ וְג֥וּרוּ מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ כָּל־זֶ֥רַע יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
24 For He has not despised, nor detested, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor has He hidden His face from Him, And in His crying to Him He hears.
| כִּ֤י לֹֽא־בָזָ֨ה וְלֹ֪א שִׁקַּ֡ץ עֱנ֬וּת עָנִ֗י וְלֹא־הִסְתִּ֣יר פָּנָ֣יו מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וּֽבְשַׁוְּעֹ֖ו אֵלָ֣יו שָׁמֵֽעַ׃ |
25 Of You My praise [is] in the great assembly. I complete My vows before His fearers.
| מֵ֥אִתְּךָ֗ תְֽהִלָּ֫תִ֥י בְּקָהָ֥ל רָ֑ב נְדָרַ֥י אֲ֝שַׁלֵּ֗ם נֶ֣גֶד יְרֵאָֽיו׃ |
26 The humble eat and are satisfied, Those seeking Him praise YHWH, Your heart lives forever.
| יֹאכְל֬וּ עֲנָוִ֨ים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּ֗עוּ יְהַֽלְל֣וּ יְ֭הוָה דֹּ֣רְשָׁ֑יו יְחִ֖י לְבַבְכֶ֣ם לָעַֽד׃ |
27 Remember and return to YHWH, Do all the ends of the earth, And bow themselves before You, Do all families of the nations,
| יִזְכְּר֤וּ ׀ וְיָשֻׁ֣בוּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָ֑רֶץ וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לְ֝פָנֶ֗יךָ כָּֽל־מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ות גֹּויִֽם׃ |
28 For to YHWH [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
| כִּ֣י לַ֭יהוָה הַמְּלוּכָ֑ה וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בַּגֹּויִֽם׃ |
29 And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, All going down to dust bow before Him, And he [who] has not revived his soul.
| אָכְל֬וּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֨וּ ׀ כָּֽל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ לְפָנָ֣יו יִ֭כְרְעוּ כָּל־יֹורְדֵ֣י עָפָ֑ר וְ֝נַפְשֹׁ֗ו לֹ֣א חִיָּֽה׃ |
30 A seed serves Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
| זֶ֥רַע יַֽעַבְדֶ֑נּוּ יְסֻפַּ֖ר לַֽאדֹנָ֣י לַדֹּֽור׃ |
31 They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is born, that He has made!
| יָ֭בֹאוּ וְיַגִּ֣ידוּ צִדְקָתֹ֑ו לְעַ֥ם נֹ֝ולָ֗ד כִּ֣י עָשָֽׂה׃ |
