Psalms 22
1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so far] from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
| לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּלֶת הַשַּׁחַר מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִֽישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃ |
2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
| אֱֽלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֻֽמִיָּה לִֽי׃ |
3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
| וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
| בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמוֹ׃ |
5 They cried to thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
| אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא־בֽוֹשׁוּ׃ |
6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
| וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא־אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָֽם׃ |
7 All they that see me deride me: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
| כׇּל־רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ |
8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
| גֹּל אֶל־יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵֽץ בּֽוֹ׃ |
9 But thou [art] he that brought me forth into life: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
| כִּֽי־אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל־שְׁדֵי אִמִּֽי׃ |
10 I was cast upon thee from my birth: thou [art] my God from the time I was born.
| עָלֶיךָ הׇשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָֽתָּה׃ |
11 Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help.
| אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי־אֵין עוֹזֵֽר׃ |
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.
| סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃ |
13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.
| פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵֽג׃ |
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
| כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּֽרְדוּ כׇּֽל־עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃ |
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
| יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְֽלַעֲפַר־מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵֽנִי׃ |
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
| כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָֽי׃ |
17 I may number all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
| אֲסַפֵּר כׇּל־עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִֽי׃ |
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
| יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָֽל׃ |
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
| וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל־תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃ |
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
| הַצִּילָה מֵחֶרֶב נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד־כֶּלֶב יְחִידָתִֽי׃ |
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
| הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּי אַרְיֵה וּמִקַּרְנֵי רֵמִים עֲנִיתָֽנִי׃ |
22 I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
| אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּ׃ |
23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
| יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה ׀ הַֽלְלוּהוּ כׇּל־זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כׇּל־זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
| כִּי לֹֽא־בָזָה וְלֹא שִׁקַּץ עֱנוּת עָנִי וְלֹא־הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ וּֽבְשַׁוְּעוֹ אֵלָיו שָׁמֵֽעַ׃ |
25 My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
| מֵאִתְּךָ תְּֽהִלָּתִי בְּקָהָל רָב נְדָרַי אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגֶד יְרֵאָֽיו׃ |
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
| יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ יְהַֽלְלוּ יְהֹוָה דֹּרְשָׁיו יְחִי לְבַבְכֶם לָעַֽד׃ |
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
| 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 among the nations.
| כִּי לַיהֹוָה הַמְּלוּכָה וּמֹשֵׁל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃ |
29 All [they that are] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
| אָכְלוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ ׀ כׇּֽל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶרֶץ לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ כׇּל־יוֹרְדֵי עָפָר וְנַפְשׁוֹ לֹא חִיָּֽה׃ |
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation.
| זֶרַע יַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ יְסֻפַּר לַֽאדֹנָי לַדּֽוֹר׃ |
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].
| יָבֹאוּ וְיַגִּידוּ צִדְקָתוֹ לְעַם נוֹלָד כִּי עָשָֽׂה׃ |
