Psalms 22
1 [For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by David.] My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
| לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּ֥לֶת הַשַּׁ֗חַר מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֵלִ֣י אֵ֭לִי לָמָ֣ה עֲזַבְתָּ֑נִי רָחֹ֥וק מִֽ֝ישׁוּעָתִ֗י דִּבְרֵ֥י שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃ |
2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
| אֱֽלֹהַ֗י אֶקְרָ֣א יֹ֖ומָם וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֶ֑ה וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֽוּמִיָּ֥ה לִֽי׃ |
3 But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
| וְאַתָּ֥ה קָדֹ֑ושׁ יֹ֝ושֵׁ֗ב תְּהִלֹּ֥ות יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
| בְּ֭ךָ בָּטְח֣וּ אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בָּ֝טְח֗וּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמֹו׃ |
5 They cried to you, and escaped. They trusted in you, and were not put to shame.
| אֵלֶ֣יךָ זָעֲק֣וּ וְנִמְלָ֑טוּ בְּךָ֖ בָטְח֣וּ וְלֹא־בֹֽושׁוּ׃ |
6 But I am a worm, and no man; scorned by people and despised by the people.
| וְאָנֹכִ֣י תֹולַ֣עַת וְלֹא־אִ֑ישׁ חֶרְפַּ֥ת אָ֝דָ֗ם וּבְז֥וּי עָֽם׃ |
7 All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
| כָּל־רֹ֭אַי יַלְעִ֣גוּ לִ֑י יַפְטִ֥ירוּ בְ֝שָׂפָ֗ה יָנִ֥יעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ |
8 "He trusts in Jehovah; let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."
| גֹּ֣ל אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה יְפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ יַ֝צִּילֵ֗הוּ כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בֹּֽו׃ |
9 But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust at my mother's breasts.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה גֹחִ֣י מִבָּ֑טֶן מַ֝בְטִיחִ֗י עַל־שְׁדֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃ |
10 I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
| עָ֭לֶיךָ הָשְׁלַ֣כְתִּי מֵרָ֑חֶם מִבֶּ֥טֶן אִ֝מִּ֗י אֵ֣לִי אָֽתָּה׃ |
11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help.
| אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִ֭מֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָ֣ה קְרֹובָ֑ה כִּי־אֵ֥ין עֹוזֵֽר׃ |
12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Mighty ones of Bashan have encircled me.
| סְ֭בָבוּנִי פָּרִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים אַבִּירֵ֖י בָשָׁ֣ן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃ |
13 They open their mouths wide against me, like a lion tearing prey and roaring.
| פָּצ֣וּ עָלַ֣י פִּיהֶ֑ם אַ֝רְיֵ֗ה טֹרֵ֥ף וְשֹׁאֵֽג׃ |
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.
| כַּמַּ֥יִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי֮ וְהִתְפָּֽרְד֗וּ כָּֽל־עַצְמֹ֫ותָ֥י הָיָ֣ה לִ֭בִּי כַּדֹּונָ֑ג נָ֝מֵ֗ס בְּתֹ֣וךְ מֵעָֽי׃ |
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
| יָ֘בֵ֤שׁ כַּחֶ֨רֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִ֗י וּ֖לְשֹׁונִי מֻדְבָּ֣ק מַלְקֹוחָ֑י וְֽלַעֲפַר־מָ֥וֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵֽנִי׃ |
16 For many dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet.
| כִּ֥י סְבָב֗וּנִי כְּלָ֫בִ֥ים עֲדַ֣ת מְ֭רֵעִים הִקִּיפ֑וּנִי כָּ֝אֲרִ֗י יָדַ֥י וְרַגְלָֽי׃ |
17 I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
| אֲסַפֵּ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמֹותָ֑י הֵ֥מָּה יַ֝בִּ֗יטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִֽי׃ |
18 They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.
| יְחַלְּק֣וּ בְגָדַ֣י לָהֶ֑ם וְעַל־לְ֝בוּשִׁ֗י יַפִּ֥ילוּ גֹורָֽל׃ |
19 But do not be far off, Jehovah. You are my help: hurry to help me.
| וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־תִּרְחָ֑ק אֱ֝יָלוּתִ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חֽוּשָׁה׃ |
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
| הַצִּ֣ילָה מֵחֶ֣רֶב נַפְשִׁ֑י מִיַּד־כֶּ֝֗לֶב יְחִידָתִֽי׃ |
21 Save me from the lion's mouth. Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
| הֹ֭ושִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּ֣י אַרְיֵ֑ה וּמִקַּרְנֵ֖י רֵמִ֣ים עֲנִיתָֽנִי׃ |
22 I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will praise you.
| אֲסַפְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְאֶחָ֑י בְּתֹ֖וךְ קָהָ֣ל אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּ׃ |
23 You who fear Jehovah, praise him. All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him. Revere him, all you descendants of Israel.
| יִרְאֵ֤י יְהוָ֨ה ׀ הַֽלְל֗וּהוּ כָּל־זֶ֣רַע יַעֲקֹ֣ב כַּבְּד֑וּהוּ וְג֥וּרוּ מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ כָּל־זֶ֥רַע יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
24 For he has not despised or detested the affliction of the afflicted, nor has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
| כִּ֤י לֹֽא־בָזָ֨ה וְלֹ֪א שִׁקַּ֡ץ עֱנ֬וּת עָנִ֗י וְלֹא־הִסְתִּ֣יר פָּנָ֣יו מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וּֽבְשַׁוְּעֹ֖ו אֵלָ֣יו שָׁמֵֽעַ׃ |
25 Of you comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
| מֵ֥אִתְּךָ֗ תְֽהִלָּ֫תִ֥י בְּקָהָ֥ל רָ֑ב נְדָרַ֥י אֲ֝שַׁלֵּ֗ם נֶ֣גֶד יְרֵאָֽיו׃ |
26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Jehovah who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
| יֹאכְל֬וּ עֲנָוִ֨ים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּ֗עוּ יְהַֽלְל֣וּ יְ֭הוָה דֹּ֣רְשָׁ֑יו יְחִ֖י לְבַבְכֶ֣ם לָעַֽד׃ |
27 Every part of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.
| יִזְכְּר֤וּ ׀ וְיָשֻׁ֣בוּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָ֑רֶץ וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לְ֝פָנֶ֗יךָ כָּֽל־מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ות גֹּויִֽם׃ |
28 For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he is the ruler over the nations.
| כִּ֣י לַ֭יהוָה הַמְּלוּכָ֑ה וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בַּגֹּויִֽם׃ |
29 All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him; and my soul shall live for him.
| אָכְל֬וּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֨וּ ׀ כָּֽל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ לְפָנָ֣יו יִ֭כְרְעוּ כָּל־יֹורְדֵ֣י עָפָ֑ר וְ֝נַפְשֹׁ֗ו לֹ֣א חִיָּֽה׃ |
30 Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about Jehovah.
| זֶ֥רַע יַֽעַבְדֶ֑נּוּ יְסֻפַּ֖ר לַֽאדֹנָ֣י לַדֹּֽור׃ |
31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
| יָ֭בֹאוּ וְיַגִּ֣ידוּ צִדְקָתֹ֑ו לְעַ֥ם נֹ֝ולָ֗ד כִּ֣י עָשָֽׂה׃ |
