< תהילים 40 >
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד מִזְמֽוֹר׃ קַוֺּה קִוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה וַיֵּט אֵלַי וַיִּשְׁמַע שַׁוְעָתִֽי׃ | 1 |
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” I trusted steadfastly in the LORD, And he listened, and heard my cry.
וַיַּעֲלֵנִי ׀ מִבּוֹר שָׁאוֹן מִטִּיט הַיָּוֵן וַיָּקֶם עַל־סֶלַע רַגְלַי כּוֹנֵן אֲשֻׁרָֽי׃ | 2 |
He drew me out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay; He set my feet upon a rock, And made my steps firm.
וַיִּתֵּן בְּפִי ׀ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּה לֵאלֹהֵינוּ יִרְאוּ רַבִּים וְיִירָאוּ וְיִבְטְחוּ בַּיהֹוָֽה׃ | 3 |
He hath put into my mouth a new song, A song of praise to our God. Many shall see, and fear, And put their trust in the LORD.
אַשְֽׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־שָׂם יְהֹוָה מִבְטַחוֹ וְֽלֹא־פָנָה אֶל־רְהָבִים וְשָׂטֵי כָזָֽב׃ | 4 |
Happy the man who maketh the LORD his trust, And resorteth not to men of pride and falsehood!
רַבּוֹת עָשִׂיתָ ׀ אַתָּה ׀ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ אֵלֵינוּ אֵין ׀ עֲרֹךְ אֵלֶיךָ אַגִּידָה וַאֲדַבֵּרָה עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּֽר׃ | 5 |
Many, O LORD, my God! are the wonderful works which thou hast done; Many have been thy gracious purposes towards us; None can be compared to thee! Would I declare and rehearse them, they are more than can be numbered.
זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה ׀ לֹֽא־חָפַצְתָּ אׇזְנַיִם כָּרִיתָ לִּי עוֹלָה וַחֲטָאָה לֹא שָׁאָֽלְתָּ׃ | 6 |
In sacrifice and oblation thou hast no pleasure; Mine ears thou hast opened; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou requirest not.
אָז אָמַרְתִּי הִנֵּה־בָאתִי בִּמְגִלַּת־סֵפֶר כָּתוּב עָלָֽי׃ | 7 |
Therefore I said, “Lo, I come; In the scroll of the book it is prescribed to me;
לַעֲשׂוֹת־רְצוֹנְךָ אֱלֹהַי חָפָצְתִּי וְתוֹרָתְךָ בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃ | 8 |
O my God! to do thy will is my delight, And thy law dwelleth in my heart!”
בִּשַּׂרְתִּי צֶדֶק ׀ בְּקָהָל רָב הִנֵּה שְׂפָתַי לֹא אֶכְלָא יְהֹוָה אַתָּה יָדָֽעְתָּ׃ | 9 |
I have proclaimed thy righteousness in the great assembly; Lo, I have not restrained my lips, O LORD! thou knowest!
צִדְקָתְךָ לֹֽא־כִסִּיתִי ׀ בְּתוֹךְ לִבִּי אֱמוּנָתְךָ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ אָמָרְתִּי לֹא־כִחַדְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ לְקָהָל רָֽב׃ | 10 |
I hide not thy justice in my heart; I declare thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I conceal not thy mercy and truth from the great assembly.
אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לֹֽא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרֽוּנִי׃ | 11 |
Withdraw not from me thy tender mercies, O LORD! May thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me!
כִּי אָפְפֽוּ־עָלַי ׀ רָעוֹת עַד־אֵין מִסְפָּר הִשִּׂיגוּנִי עֲוֺנֹתַי וְלֹא־יָכֹלְתִּי לִרְאוֹת עָצְמוּ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי וְלִבִּי עֲזָבָֽנִי׃ | 12 |
For evils without number have encompassed me; My iniquities have overtaken me; I cannot see the end of them; They are more than the hairs of my head, And my heart dieth within me.
רְצֵה יְהֹוָה לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהֹוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃ | 13 |
May it please thee, O LORD! to deliver me! O LORD! make haste to mine aid!
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ ׀ יַחַד מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי לִסְפּוֹתָהּ יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽי׃ | 14 |
May they all be confounded and covered with shame Who seek to take away my life! Let them be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!
יָשֹׁמּוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בׇּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים לִי הֶאָח ׀ הֶאָֽח׃ | 15 |
Let them be overwhelmed with confusion Who cry out to me, Aha! aha!
יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ ׀ בְּךָ כׇּֽל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ יֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל יְהֹוָה אֹהֲבֵי תְּשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃ | 16 |
But let all who seek thee Be glad and rejoice in thee! Let those who love thy protection Ever say, “Great is Jehovah!”
וַאֲנִי ׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֲדֹנָי יַחֲשׇׁב ־ לִי עֶזְרָתִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃ | 17 |
I am poor and afflicted, yet the Lord thinketh upon me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; My God! make no delay!
