תהילים 22

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּלֶת הַשַּׁחַר מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִֽישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃

Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.

2 אֱֽלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֻֽמִיָּה לִֽי׃

O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.

3 וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ יוֹשֵׁב תְּהִלּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.

4 בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמוֹ׃

In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.

5 אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא־בֽוֹשׁוּ׃

They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6 וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא־אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָֽם׃

But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.

7 כׇּל־רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃

All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.

8 גֹּל אֶל־יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵֽץ בּֽוֹ׃

He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.

9 כִּֽי־אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל־שְׁדֵי אִמִּֽי׃

For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.

10 עָלֶיךָ הׇשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָֽתָּה׃

I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God,

11 אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי־אֵין עוֹזֵֽר׃

Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.

12 סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃

Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.

13 פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵֽג׃

They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.

14 כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּֽרְדוּ כׇּֽל־עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃

I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.

15 יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְֽלַעֲפַר־מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵֽנִי׃

My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.

16 כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָֽי׃

For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.

17 אֲסַפֵּר כׇּל־עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִֽי׃

They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.

18 יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָֽל׃

They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.

19 וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל־תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃

But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.

20 הַצִּילָה מֵחֶרֶב נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד־כֶּלֶב יְחִידָתִֽי׃

Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.

21 הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּי אַרְיֵה וּמִקַּרְנֵי רֵמִים עֲנִיתָֽנִי׃

Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.

22 אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּ׃

I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.

23 יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה ׀ הַֽלְלוּהוּ כׇּל־זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כׇּל־זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.

24 כִּי לֹֽא־בָזָה וְלֹא שִׁקַּץ עֱנוּת עָנִי וְלֹא־הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ וּֽבְשַׁוְּעוֹ אֵלָיו שָׁמֵֽעַ׃

Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.

25 מֵאִתְּךָ תְּֽהִלָּתִי בְּקָהָל רָב נְדָרַי אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגֶד יְרֵאָֽיו׃

With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.

26 יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ יְהַֽלְלוּ יְהֹוָה דֹּרְשָׁיו יְחִי לְבַבְכֶם לָעַֽד׃

The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.

27 יִזְכְּרוּ ׀ וְיָשֻׁבוּ אֶל־יְהֹוָה כׇּל־אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶיךָ כׇּֽל־מִשְׁפְּחוֹת גּוֹיִֽם׃

All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.

28 כִּי לַיהֹוָה הַמְּלוּכָה וּמֹשֵׁל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃

For the kingdom is the Lord’s; and he shall have dominion over the nations.

29 אָכְלוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ ׀ כׇּֽל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶרֶץ לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ כׇּל־יוֹרְדֵי עָפָר וְנַפְשׁוֹ לֹא חִיָּֽה׃

All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.

30 זֶרַע יַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ יְסֻפַּר לַֽאדֹנָי לַדּֽוֹר׃

And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.

31 יָבֹאוּ וְיַגִּידוּ צִדְקָתוֹ לְעַם נוֹלָד כִּי עָשָֽׂה׃

There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
