תהילים 71

1 בְּךָֽ־יְהֹוָה חָסִיתִי אַל־אֵבוֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָֽם׃

In thee, O YHWH, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

2 בְּצִדְקָֽתְךָ תַּצִּילֵנִי וּֽתְפַלְּטֵנִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַי אׇזְנְךָ וְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

3 הֱיֵה לִי ׀ לְצוּר מָעוֹן לָבוֹא תָּמִיד צִוִּיתָ לְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי כִּֽי־סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי אָֽתָּה׃

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

4 אֱֽלֹהַי פַּלְּטֵנִי מִיַּד רָשָׁע מִכַּף מְעַוֵּל וְחוֹמֵֽץ׃

Deliver me, O my Elohim, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 כִּֽי־אַתָּה תִקְוָתִי אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה מִבְטַחִי מִנְּעוּרָֽי׃

For thou art my hope, O Sovereign YHWH: thou art my trust from my youth.

6 עָלֶיךָ ׀ נִסְמַכְתִּי מִבֶּטֶן מִמְּעֵי אִמִּי אַתָּה גוֹזִי בְּךָ תְהִלָּתִי תָמִֽיד׃

By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

7 כְּמוֹפֵת הָיִיתִי לְרַבִּים וְאַתָּה מַחֲסִי־עֹֽז׃

I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

8 יִמָּלֵא פִי תְּהִלָּתֶךָ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם תִּפְאַרְתֶּֽךָ׃

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

9 אַֽל־תַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי לְעֵת זִקְנָה כִּכְלוֹת כֹּחִי אַֽל־תַּעַזְבֵֽנִי׃

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

10 כִּֽי־אָמְרוּ אוֹיְבַי לִי וְשֹׁמְרֵי נַפְשִׁי נוֹעֲצוּ יַחְדָּֽו׃

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

11 לֵאמֹר אֱלֹהִים עֲזָבוֹ רִֽדְפוּ וְתִפְשׂוּהוּ כִּי־אֵין מַצִּֽיל׃

Saying, Elohim hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

12 אֱלֹהִים אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי אֱלֹהַי לְעֶזְרָתִי (חישה) [חֽוּשָׁה]׃

O Elohim, be not far from me: O my Elohim, make haste for my help.

13 יֵבֹשׁוּ יִכְלוּ שֹׂטְנֵי נַפְשִׁי יַעֲטוּ חֶרְפָּה וּכְלִמָּה מְבַקְשֵׁי רָֽעָתִֽי׃

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

14 וַאֲנִי תָּמִיד אֲיַחֵל וְהוֹסַפְתִּי עַל־כׇּל־תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.

15 פִּי ׀ יְסַפֵּר צִדְקָתֶךָ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם תְּשׁוּעָתֶךָ כִּי לֹא יָדַעְתִּי סְפֹרֽוֹת׃

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

16 אָבוֹא בִּגְבֻרוֹת אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה אַזְכִּיר צִדְקָתְךָ לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃

I will go in the strength of the Sovereign YHWH: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

17 אֱֽלֹהִים לִמַּדְתַּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי וְעַד־הֵנָּה אַגִּיד נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

O Elohim, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.

18 וְגַם עַד־זִקְנָה ׀ וְשֵׂיבָה אֱלֹהִים אַֽל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי עַד־אַגִּיד זְרוֹעֲךָ לְדוֹר לְכׇל־יָבוֹא גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O Elohim, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

19 וְצִדְקָתְךָ אֱלֹהִים עַד־מָרוֹם אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתָ גְדֹלוֹת אֱלֹהִים מִי כָמֽוֹךָ׃

Thy righteousness also, O Elohim, is very high, who hast done great things: O Elohim, who is like unto thee!

20 אֲשֶׁר (הראיתנו) [הִרְאִיתַנִי ׀] צָרוֹת רַבּוֹת וְרָעוֹת תָּשׁוּב (תחינו) [תְּחַיֵּנִי] וּֽמִתְּהֹמוֹת הָאָרֶץ תָּשׁוּב תַּעֲלֵֽנִי׃

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 תֶּרֶב ׀ גְּֽדֻלָּתִי וְתִסֹּב תְּֽנַחֲמֵֽנִי׃

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

22 גַּם־אֲנִי ׀ אוֹדְךָ בִכְלִי־נֶבֶל אֲמִתְּךָ אֱלֹהָי אֲזַמְּרָה לְךָ בְכִנּוֹר קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my Elohim: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

23 תְּרַנֵּנָּה שְׂפָתַי כִּי אֲזַמְּרָה־לָּךְ וְנַפְשִׁי אֲשֶׁר פָּדִֽיתָ׃

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

24 גַּם־לְשׁוֹנִי כׇּל־הַיּוֹם תֶּהְגֶּה צִדְקָתֶךָ כִּי־בֹשׁוּ כִֽי־חָפְרוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי רָעָתִֽי׃

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
