Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come to thee.
| תְּ֭פִלָּה לְעָנִ֣י כִֽי־יַעֲטֹ֑ף וְלִפְנֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ שִׂיחֹֽו׃ יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י אֵלֶ֥יךָ תָבֹֽוא׃ |
2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thy ear to me: in the day [when] I call, answer me speedily.
| אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי֮ בְּיֹ֪ום צַ֫ר לִ֥י הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥י אָזְנֶ֑ךָ בְּיֹ֥ום אֶ֝קְרָ֗א מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃ |
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
| כִּֽי־כָל֣וּ בְעָשָׁ֣ן יָמָ֑י וְ֝עַצְמֹותַ֗י כְּמֹו־קֵ֥ד נִחָֽרוּ׃ |
4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
| הוּכָּֽה־כָ֭עֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַ֣שׁ לִבִּ֑י כִּֽי־שָׁ֝כַ֗חְתִּי מֵאֲכֹ֥ל לַחְמִֽי׃ |
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my skin.
| מִקֹּ֥ול אַנְחָתִ֑י דָּבְקָ֥ה עַ֝צְמִ֗י לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃ |
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
| דָּ֭מִיתִי לִקְאַ֣ת מִדְבָּ֑ר הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּכֹ֣וס חֳרָבֹֽות׃ |
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
| שָׁקַ֥דְתִּי וָאֶֽהְיֶ֑ה כְּ֝צִפֹּ֗ור בֹּודֵ֥ד עַל־גָּֽג׃ |
8 My enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are enraged against me are sworn against me.
| כָּל־הַ֭יֹּום חֵרְפ֣וּנִי אֹויְבָ֑י מְ֝הֹולָלַ֗י בִּ֣י נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃ |
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
| כִּי־אֵ֭פֶר כַּלֶּ֣חֶם אָכָ֑לְתִּי וְ֝שִׁקֻּוַ֗י בִּבְכִ֥י מָסָֽכְתִּי׃ |
10 Because of thy indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
| מִפְּנֵֽי־זַֽעַמְךָ֥ וְקִצְפֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י נְ֝שָׂאתַ֗נִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃ |
11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
| יָ֭מַי כְּצֵ֣ל נָט֑וּי וַ֝אֲנִ֗י כָּעֵ֥שֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃ |
12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance to all generations.
| וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֑ב וְ֝זִכְרְךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃ |
13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come.
| אַתָּ֣ה תָ֭קוּם תְּרַחֵ֣ם צִיֹּ֑ון כִּי־עֵ֥ת לְ֝חֶֽנְנָ֗הּ כִּי־בָ֥א מֹועֵֽד׃ |
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.
| כִּֽי־רָצ֣וּ עֲ֭בָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְֽאֶת־עֲפָרָ֥הּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃ |
15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD: and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
| וְיִֽירְא֣וּ גֹ֭ויִם אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וְֽכָל־מַלְכֵ֥י הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ אֶת־כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃ |
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.
| כִּֽי־בָנָ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה צִיֹּ֑ון נִ֝רְאָ֗ה בִּכְבֹודֹֽו׃ |
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
| פָּ֭נָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּ֣ת הָעַרְעָ֑ר וְלֹֽא־בָ֝זָ֗ה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃ |
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
| תִּכָּ֣תֶב זֹ֭את לְדֹ֣ור אַחֲרֹ֑ון וְעַ֥ם נִ֝בְרָ֗א יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ׃ |
19 For he hath looked down from the hight of his sanctuary; from heaven hath the LORD beheld the earth;
| כִּֽי־הִ֭שְׁקִיף מִמְּרֹ֣ום קָדְשֹׁ֑ו יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִשָּׁמַ֤יִם ׀ אֶל־אֶ֬רֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃ |
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
| לִ֭שְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַ֣ת אָסִ֑יר לְ֝פַתֵּ֗חַ בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃ |
21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
| לְסַפֵּ֣ר בְּ֭צִיֹּון שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝תְהִלָּתֹ֗ו בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
22 When the people are assembled, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
| בְּהִקָּבֵ֣ץ עַמִּ֣ים יַחְדָּ֑ו וּ֝מַמְלָכֹ֗ות לַעֲבֹ֥ד אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
| עִנָּ֖ה בַדֶּ֥רֶךְ כֹּחֹו (כֹּחִ֗י) קִצַּ֥ר יָמָֽי׃ |
24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.
| אֹמַ֗ר אֵלִ֗י אַֽל־תַּ֭עֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִ֣י יָמָ֑י בְּדֹ֖ור דֹּורִ֣ים שְׁנֹותֶֽיךָ׃ |
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
| לְ֭פָנִים הָאָ֣רֶץ יָסַ֑דְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃ |
26 They shall perish, but thou wilt endure: yes, all of them shall grow old like a garment; as a vesture wilt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
| הֵ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תַ֫עֲמֹ֥ד וְ֭כֻלָּם כַּבֶּ֣גֶד יִבְל֑וּ כַּלְּב֖וּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵ֣ם וֽ͏ְיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃ |
27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years will have no end.
| וְאַתָּה־ה֑וּא וּ֝שְׁנֹותֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִתָּֽמּוּ׃ |
28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
| בְּנֵֽי־עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ יִשְׁכֹּ֑ונוּ וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם לְפָנֶ֥יךָ יִכֹּֽון׃ |
