תהילים 102

1 תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִֽי־יַעֲטֹף וְלִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֽוֹ׃ יְהֹוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֽוֹא׃

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and let my cry come to thee.

2 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיוֹם צַר ־ לִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַי אׇזְנֶךָ בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִי׃

Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress. Incline thine ear to me. In the day when I call answer me speedily.

3 כִּֽי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָי וְעַצְמוֹתַי כְּמוֹקֵד נִחָֽרוּ׃

For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

4 הוּכָּה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי כִּֽי־שָׁכַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִֽי׃

My heart is smitten like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

5 מִקּוֹל אַנְחָתִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃

Because of the voice of my groaning my bones cling to my flesh.

6 דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכוֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת׃

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

7 שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶה כְּצִפּוֹר בּוֹדֵד עַל־גָּֽג׃

I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone upon the house-top.

8 כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חֵרְפוּנִי אוֹיְבָי מְהוֹלָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃

My enemies reproach me all the day. Those who are mad against me do curse by me.

9 כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּי וְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָֽכְתִּי׃

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

10 מִפְּנֵֽי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃

because of thine indignation and thy wrath. For thou have taken me up, and cast me away.

11 יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּי וַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃

My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass.

12 וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם תֵּשֵׁב וְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃

But thou, O Jehovah, will abide forever, and thy memorial to all generations.

13 אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיּוֹן כִּי־עֵת לְחֶֽנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מוֹעֵֽד׃

Thou will arise, and have mercy upon Zion, for it is time to have pity upon her, yea, the set time has come.

14 כִּי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָ וְֽאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity upon her dust.

15 וְיִֽירְאוּ גוֹיִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהֹוָה וְֽכׇל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

16 כִּֽי־בָנָה יְהֹוָה צִיּוֹן נִרְאָה בִּכְבוֹדֽוֹ׃

For Jehovah has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

17 פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃

He has regarded the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

18 תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹן וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ׃

This shall be written for the generation to come. And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.

19 כִּֽי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרוֹם קׇדְשׁוֹ יְהֹוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven Jehovah beheld the earth,

20 לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר לְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽה׃

to hear the sighing of the prisoner, to loose those who are appointed to death,

21 לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן שֵׁם יְהֹוָה וּתְהִלָּתוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

that men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,

22 בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּו וּמַמְלָכוֹת לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָֽה׃

when the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.

23 עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ (כחו) [כֹּחִי] קִצַּר יָמָֽי׃

He weakened my strength in the way. He shortened my days.

24 אֹמַר אֵלִי אַֽל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָי בְּדוֹר דּוֹרִים שְׁנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days. Thy years are throughout all generations.

25 לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃

Of old thou laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

26 הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹד וְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ כַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְֽיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃

They shall perish, but thou shall endure. Yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment. As a vesture thou shall change them, and they shall be changed,

27 וְאַתָּה־הוּא וּשְׁנוֹתֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּֽמּוּ׃

but thou are the same, and thy years shall have no end.

28 בְּנֵֽי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכּוֹנוּ וְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכּֽוֹן׃

The sons of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
