תהילים 74
| מַשְׂכִּיל לְאָסָף לָמָה אֱלֹהִים זָנַחְתָּ לָנֶצַח יֶעְשַׁן אַפְּךָ בְּצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָ׃ | 1 |
“A Maskil of Assaph.” Why, O God, hast thou cast us off for ever? why will thy anger smoke against the flock of thy pasture?
| זְכֹר עֲדָֽתְךָ ׀ קָנִיתָ קֶּדֶם גָּאַלְתָּ שֵׁבֶט נַחֲלָתֶךָ הַר־צִיּוֹן זֶה ׀ שָׁכַנְתָּ בּֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
Remember thy congregation, which thou didst acquire of old; which thou didst redeem as the tribe of thy inheritance: this mount Zion, whereon thou hast dwelt.
| הָרִימָה פְעָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁאוֹת נֶצַח כׇּל־הֵרַע אוֹיֵב בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 3 |
Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual heaps of ruins: the enemy hath ill-used every thing in the sanctuary.
| שָׁאֲגוּ צֹרְרֶיךָ בְּקֶרֶב מוֹעֲדֶךָ שָׂמוּ אוֹתֹתָם אֹתֽוֹת׃ | 4 |
Thy adversaries have roared in the midst of thy places of assembly: they have set up their signs for signs.
| יִוָּדַע כְּמֵבִיא לְמָעְלָה בִּסְבׇךְ־עֵץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹת׃ | 5 |
[The enemy] is known as one that lifteth up high axes against the thickets of a forest.
| (ועת) [וְעַתָּה] פִּתּוּחֶיהָ יָּחַד בְּכַשִּׁיל וְכֵילַפּוֹת יַהֲלֹמֽוּן׃ | 6 |
And now they hew in pieces the carved work thereof altogether with hatchets and hammers.
| שִׁלְחוּ בָאֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁךָ לָאָרֶץ חִלְּלוּ מִֽשְׁכַּן־שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 7 |
They have set on fire thy sanctuary; to the ground have they profaned the dwelling-place of thy name.
| אָמְרוּ בְלִבָּם נִינָם יָחַד שָׂרְפוּ כׇל־מוֹעֲדֵי־אֵל בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
They have said in their heart, We will oppress them altogether: they have burnt up all the places of assembly of God in the land.
| אוֹתֹתֵינוּ לֹא רָאִינוּ אֵֽין־עוֹד נָבִיא וְלֹֽא־אִתָּנוּ יֹדֵעַ עַד־מָֽה׃ | 9 |
Our signs do we not see: there is no more any prophet: and there is no one among us that knoweth how long.
| עַד־מָתַי אֱלֹהִים יְחָרֶף צָר יְנָאֵץ אוֹיֵב שִׁמְךָ לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 10 |
How long, O God, shall the adversary utter defiance? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
| לָמָּה תָשִׁיב יָדְךָ וִימִינֶךָ מִקֶּרֶב (חוקך) [חֵיקְךָ] כַלֵּֽה׃ | 11 |
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [draw it] out of thy bosom—exterminate [them];
| וֵאלֹהִים מַלְכִּי מִקֶּדֶם פֹּעֵל יְשׁוּעוֹת בְּקֶרֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 12 |
Since [thou] God art my King from olden days, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
| אַתָּה פוֹרַרְתָּ בְעׇזְּךָ יָם שִׁבַּרְתָּ רָאשֵׁי תַנִּינִים עַל־הַמָּֽיִם׃ | 13 |
It was thou that didst divide by thy strength the sea: thou brokest in pieces the heads of the crocodiles on the waters.
| אַתָּה רִצַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁי לִוְיָתָן תִּתְּנֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל לְעָם לְצִיִּֽים׃ | 14 |
Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, and gavest them as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
| אַתָּה בָקַעְתָּ מַעְיָן וָנָחַל אַתָּה הוֹבַשְׁתָּ נַהֲרוֹת אֵיתָֽן׃ | 15 |
Thou didst cleave fountain and stream: thou didst dry up ever-flowing rivers.
| לְךָ יוֹם אַף־לְךָ לָיְלָה אַתָּה הֲכִינוֹתָ מָאוֹר וָשָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ | 16 |
Thine is the day and thine is the night: it is thou who hast prepared the luminary and the sun.
| אַתָּה הִצַּבְתָּ כׇּל־גְּבוּלוֹת אָרֶץ קַיִץ וָחֹרֶף אַתָּה יְצַרְתָּֽם׃ | 17 |
It is thou who hast set up all the boundaries of the earth: summer and winter—thou thyself hast formed them.
| זְכׇר־זֹאת אוֹיֵב חֵרֵף ׀ יְהֹוָה וְעַם נָבָל נִאֲצוּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 18 |
Remember this, that the enemy hath defied the Lord, and that a worthless foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
| אַל־תִּתֵּן לְחַיַּת נֶפֶשׁ תּוֹרֶךָ חַיַּת עֲנִיֶּיךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 19 |
Oh give not up unto the multitude of enemies the soul of thy turtle-dove: the congregation of thy afflicted do not thou forget for ever.
| הַבֵּט לַבְּרִית כִּי מָלְאוּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי־אֶרֶץ נְאוֹת חָמָֽס׃ | 20 |
Look unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of habitations of violence.
| אַל־יָשֹׁב דַּךְ נִכְלָם עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן יְֽהַלְלוּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 21 |
Oh let not the oppressed return confounded: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
| קוּמָה אֱלֹהִים רִיבָה רִיבֶךָ זְכֹר חֶרְפָּתְךָ מִנִּי־נָבָל כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃ | 22 |
Arise, O God, plead thy own cause: remember thy defiance from the worthless fool all the day.
| אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח קוֹל צֹרְרֶיךָ שְׁאוֹן קָמֶיךָ עֹלֶה תָמִֽיד׃ | 23 |
Forget not the voice of thy adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
