< תהילים 40 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קַוֺּה קִוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה וַיֵּט אֵלַי וַיִּשְׁמַע שַׁוְעָתִֽי׃ | 1 |
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry.
וַיַּעֲלֵנִי ׀ מִבּוֹר שָׁאוֹן מִטִּיט הַיָּוֵן וַיָּקֶם עַל־סֶלַע רַגְלַי כּוֹנֵן אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ | 2 |
He lifted me up from the pit of despair, out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps firm.
וַיִּתֵּן בְּפִי ׀ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּה לֵאלֹהֵינוּ יִרְאוּ רַבִּים וְיִירָאוּ וְיִבְטְחוּ בַּיהֹוָֽה׃ | 3 |
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
אַשְֽׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם יְהֹוָה מִבְטַחוֹ וְֽלֹא־פָנָה אֶל־רְהָבִים וְשָׂטֵי כָזָֽב׃ | 4 |
Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.
רַבּוֹת עָשִׂיתָ ׀ אַתָּה ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ אֵין ׀ עֲרֹךְ אֵלֶיךָ אַגִּידָה וַאֲדַבֵּרָה עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּֽר׃ | 5 |
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us— none can compare to You— if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.
זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה ׀ לֹֽא־חָפַצְתָּ אׇזְנַיִם כָּרִיתָ לִּי עוֹלָה וַחֲטָאָה לֹא שָׁאָֽלְתָּ׃ | 6 |
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.
אָז אָמַרְתִּי הִנֵּה־בָאתִי בִּמְגִלַּת־סֵפֶר כָּתוּב עָלָֽי׃ | 7 |
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll:
לַעֲשׂוֹת־רְצוֹנְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי וְתוֹרָתְךָ בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃ | 8 |
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”
בִּשַּׂרְתִּי צֶדֶק ׀ בְּקָהָל רָב הִנֵּה שְׂפָתַי לֹא אֶכְלָא יְהֹוָה אַתָּה יָדָֽעְתָּ׃ | 9 |
I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.
צִדְקָתְךָ לֹֽא־כִסִּיתִי ׀ בְּתוֹךְ לִבִּי אֱמוּנָתְךָ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ אָמָרְתִּי לֹא־כִחַדְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ לְקָהָל רָֽב׃ | 10 |
I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.
אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לֹֽא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרֽוּנִי׃ | 11 |
O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.
כִּי אָפְפֽוּ־עָלַי ׀ רָעוֹת עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּר הִשִּׂיגוּנִי עֲוֺנֹתַי וְלֹא־יָכֹלְתִּי לִרְאוֹת עָצְמוּ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי וְלִבִּי עֲזָבָֽנִי׃ | 12 |
For evils without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed within me.
רְצֵה יְהֹוָה לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהֹוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃ | 13 |
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; hurry, O LORD, to help me.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ ׀ יַחַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי לִסְפּוֹתָהּ יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽי׃ | 14 |
May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
יָשֹׁמּוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בׇּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים לִי הֶאָח ׀ הֶאָֽח׃ | 15 |
May those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” be appalled at their own shame.
יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ ׀ בְּךָ כׇּֽל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ יֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל יְהֹוָה אֹהֲבֵי תְּשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃ | 16 |
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The LORD be magnified!”
וַאֲנִי ׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֲדֹנָי יַחֲשׇׁב ־ לִי עֶזְרָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃ | 17 |
But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
