תהילים 69

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַֽל־שׁוֹשַׁנִּים לְדָוִֽד׃ הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אֱלֹהִים כִּי בָאוּ מַיִם עַד־נָֽפֶשׁ׃

For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

2 טָבַעְתִּי ׀ בִּיוֵן מְצוּלָה וְאֵין מׇעֳמָד בָּאתִי בְמַעֲמַקֵּי־מַיִם וְשִׁבֹּלֶת שְׁטָפָֽתְנִי׃

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3 יָגַעְתִּי בְקׇרְאִי נִחַר גְּרוֹנִי כָּלוּ עֵינַי מְיַחֵל לֵאלֹהָֽי׃

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

4 רַבּוּ ׀ מִשַּׂעֲרוֹת רֹאשִׁי שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם עָצְמוּ מַצְמִיתַי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־גָזַלְתִּי אָז אָשִֽׁיב׃

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

5 אֱֽלֹהִים אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ לְאִוַּלְתִּי וְאַשְׁמוֹתַי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִכְחָֽדוּ׃

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

6 אַל־יֵבֹשׁוּ בִי ׀ קֹוֶיךָ אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה צְבָאוֹת אַל־יִכָּלְמֽוּ בִי מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Let not them that wait on thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts: let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonour through me, O God of Israel.

7 כִּֽי־עָלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי חֶרְפָּה כִּסְּתָה כְלִמָּה פָנָֽי׃

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

8 מוּזָר הָיִיתִי לְאֶחָי וְנׇכְרִי לִבְנֵי אִמִּֽי׃

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

9 כִּֽי־קִנְאַת בֵּיתְךָ אֲכָלָתְנִי וְחֶרְפּוֹת חוֹרְפֶיךָ נָפְלוּ עָלָֽי׃

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

10 וָאֶבְכֶּה בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי וַתְּהִי לַחֲרָפוֹת לִֽי׃

When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

11 וָאֶתְּנָה לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק וָאֱהִי לָהֶם לְמָשָֽׁל׃

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb unto them.

12 יָשִׂיחוּ בִי יֹשְׁבֵי שָׁעַר וּנְגִינוֹת שׁוֹתֵי שֵׁכָֽר׃

They that sit in the gate talk of me; and [I am] the song of the drunkards.

13 וַאֲנִי תְפִלָּֽתִי־לְךָ ׀ יְהֹוָה עֵת רָצוֹן אֱלֹהִים בְּרׇב־חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶֽךָ׃

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

14 הַצִּילֵנִי מִטִּיט וְאַל־אֶטְבָּעָה אִנָּצְלָה מִשֹּׂנְאַי וּמִמַּעֲמַקֵּי מָֽיִם׃

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15 אַל־תִּשְׁטְפֵנִי ׀ שִׁבֹּלֶת מַיִם וְאַל־תִּבְלָעֵנִי מְצוּלָה וְאַל־תֶּאְטַר־עָלַי בְּאֵר פִּֽיהָ׃

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

16 עֲנֵנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ פְּנֵה אֵלָֽי׃

Answer me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: according to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

17 וְאַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מֵעַבְדֶּךָ כִּי־צַר־לִי מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִי׃

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

18 קׇרְבָה אֶל־נַפְשִׁי גְאָלָהּ לְמַעַן אֹיְבַי פְּדֵֽנִי׃

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: ransom me because of mine enemies.

19 אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ חֶרְפָּתִי וּבׇשְׁתִּי וּכְלִמָּתִי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇּל־צוֹרְרָֽי׃

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

20 חֶרְפָּה ׀ שָׁבְרָה לִבִּי וָאָנוּשָׁה וָאֲקַוֶּה לָנוּד וָאַיִן וְלַמְנַחֲמִים וְלֹא מָצָֽאתִי׃

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

21 וַיִּתְּנוּ בְּבָרוּתִי רֹאשׁ וְלִצְמָאִי יַשְׁקוּנִי חֹֽמֶץ׃

They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 יְהִי־שֻׁלְחָנָם לִפְנֵיהֶם לְפָח וְלִשְׁלוֹמִים לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃

Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, [let it become] a trap.

23 תֶּחְשַׁכְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם מֵרְאוֹת וּמׇתְנֵיהֶם תָּמִיד הַמְעַֽד׃

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

24 שְׁפׇךְ־עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמֶךָ וַחֲרוֹן אַפְּךָ יַשִּׂיגֵֽם׃

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

25 תְּהִי־טִירָתָם נְשַׁמָּה בְּאׇהֳלֵיהֶם אַל־יְהִי יֹשֵֽׁב׃

Let their habitation be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.

26 כִּי־אַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־הִכִּיתָ רָדָפוּ וְאֶל־מַכְאוֹב חֲלָלֶיךָ יְסַפֵּֽרוּ׃

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded,

27 תְּֽנָה־עָוֺן עַל־עֲוֺנָם וְאַל־יָבֹאוּ בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃

Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

28 יִמָּחֽוּ מִסֵּפֶר חַיִּים וְעִם צַדִּיקִים אַל־יִכָּתֵֽבוּ׃

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

29 וַאֲנִי עָנִי וְכוֹאֵב יְשׁוּעָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים תְּשַׂגְּבֵֽנִי׃

But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30 אֲהַלְלָה שֵׁם־אֱלֹהִים בְּשִׁיר וַאֲגַדְּלֶנּוּ בְתוֹדָֽה׃

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31 וְתִיטַב לַיהֹוָה מִשּׁוֹר פָּר מַקְרִן מַפְרִֽיס׃

And it shall please the LORD better than an ox, [or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32 רָאוּ עֲנָוִים יִשְׂמָחוּ דֹּרְשֵׁי אֱלֹהִים וִיחִי לְבַבְכֶֽם׃

The meek have seen it, and are glad: ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

33 כִּי־שֹׁמֵעַ אֶל־אֶבְיוֹנִים יְהֹוָה וְאֶת־אֲסִירָיו לֹא בָזָֽה׃

For the LORD heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.

34 יְֽהַלְלוּהוּ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ יַמִּים וְֽכׇל־רֹמֵשׂ בָּֽם׃

Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

35 כִּי אֱלֹהִים ׀ יוֹשִׁיעַ צִיּוֹן וְיִבְנֶה עָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְיָשְׁבוּ שָׁם וִירֵשֽׁוּהָ׃

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

36 וְזֶרַע עֲבָדָיו יִנְחָלוּהָ וְאֹהֲבֵי שְׁמוֹ יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
