תהילים 74
| מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָף לָמָה אֱלֹהִים זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָ׃ | 1 |
Maschil. Of Asaph. Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?
| זְכֹר עֲדָֽתְךָ ׀ קָנִיתָ קֶּדֶם גָּאַלְתָּ שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶךָ הַר־צִיּוֹן זֶה ׀ שָׁכַנְתָּ בּֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.
| הָרִימָה פְעָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁאוֹת נֶצַח כׇּל־הֵרַע אוֹיֵב בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 3 |
Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;
| שָׁאֲגוּ צֹרְרֶיךָ בְּקֶרֶב מוֹעֲדֶךָ שָׂמוּ אוֹתֹתָם אֹתֽוֹת׃ | 4 |
Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.
| יִוָּדַע כְּמֵבִיא לְמָעְלָה בִּסְבׇךְ־עֵץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹת׃ | 5 |
They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.
| (ועת) [וְעַתָּה] פִּתּוּחֶיהָ יָּחַד בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכֵילַפּוֹת יַהֲלֹמֽוּן׃ | 6 |
Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
| שִׁלְחוּ בָאֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ לָאָרֶץ חִלְּלוּ מִֽשְׁכַּן־שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 7 |
They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.
| אָמְרוּ בְלִבָּם נִינָם יָחַד שָׂרְפוּ כׇל־מוֹעֲדֵי־אֵל בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.
| אוֹתֹתֵינוּ לֹא רָאִינוּ אֵֽין־עוֹד נָבִיא וְלֹֽא־אִתָּנוּ יֹדֵעַ עַד־מָֽה׃ | 9 |
We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.
| עַד־מָתַי אֱלֹהִים יְחָרֶף צָר יְנָאֵץ אוֹיֵב שִׁמְךָ לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 10 |
O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?
| לָמָּה תָשִׁיב יָדְךָ וִימִינֶךָ מִקֶּרֶב (חוקך) [חֵיקְךָ] כַלֵּֽה׃ | 11 |
Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe?
| וֵאלֹהִים מַלְכִּי מִקֶּדֶם פֹּעֵל יְשׁוּעוֹת בְּקֶרֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 12 |
For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.
| אַתָּה פוֹרַרְתָּ בְעׇזְּךָ יָם שִׁבַּרְתָּ רָאשֵׁי תַנִּינִים עַל־הַמָּֽיִם׃ | 13 |
The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken.
| אַתָּה רִצַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן תִּתְּנֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל לְעָם לְצִיִּֽים׃ | 14 |
The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.
| אַתָּה בָקַעְתָּ מַעְיָן וָנָחַל אַתָּה הוֹבַשְׁתָּ נַהֲרוֹת אֵיתָֽן׃ | 15 |
You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry.
| לְךָ יוֹם אַף־לְךָ לָיְלָה אַתָּה הֲכִינוֹתָ מָאוֹר וָשָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ | 16 |
The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.
| אַתָּה הִצַּבְתָּ כׇּל־גְּבוּלוֹת אָרֶץ קַיִץ וָחֹרֶף אַתָּה יְצַרְתָּֽם׃ | 17 |
By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.
| זְכׇר־זֹאת אוֹיֵב חֵרֵף ׀ יְהֹוָה וְעַם נָבָל נִאֲצוּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 18 |
Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
| אַל־תִּתֵּן לְחַיַּת נֶפֶשׁ תּוֹרֶךָ חַיַּת עֲנִיֶּיךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 19 |
O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.
| הַבֵּט לַבְּרִית כִּי מָלְאוּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי־אֶרֶץ נְאוֹת חָמָֽס׃ | 20 |
Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.
| אַל־יָשֹׁב דַּךְ נִכְלָם עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן יְֽהַלְלוּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 21 |
O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.
| קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים רִיבָה רִיבֶךָ זְכֹר חֶרְפָּתְךָ מִנִּי־נָבָל כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃ | 22 |
Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.
| אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח קוֹל צֹרְרֶיךָ שְׁאוֹן קָמֶיךָ עֹלֶה תָמִֽיד׃ | 23 |
Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.
