< תהילים 88 >
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי ־ קֹרַח לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מָחֲלַת לְעַנּוֹת מַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵימָן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יְשׁוּעָתִי יוֹם־צָעַקְתִּי בַלַּיְלָה נֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃ | 1 |
A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Unto the end. For Mahalath, to answer the understanding of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, God of my salvation: I have cried out, day and night, in your presence.
תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי הַטֵּה אׇזְנְךָ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ | 2 |
Let my prayer enter in your sight. Incline your ear to my petition.
כִּֽי־שָׂבְעָה בְרָעוֹת נַפְשִׁי וְחַיַּי לִשְׁאוֹל הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol ) | 3 |
For my soul has been filled with evils, and my life has drawn near to Hell. (Sheol )
נֶחְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר הָיִיתִי כְּגֶבֶר אֵֽין־אֱיָֽל׃ | 4 |
I am considered to be among those who will descend into the pit. I have become like a man without assistance,
בַּמֵּתִים חׇפְשִׁי כְּמוֹ חֲלָלִים ׀ שֹׁכְבֵי קֶבֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא זְכַרְתָּם עוֹד וְהֵמָּה מִיָּדְךָ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃ | 5 |
idle among the dead. I am like the wounded sleeping in sepulchers, whom you no longer remember, and who have been repelled by your hand.
שַׁתַּנִי בְּבוֹר תַּחְתִּיּוֹת בְּמַחֲשַׁכִּים בִּמְצֹלֽוֹת׃ | 6 |
They have lain me in the lower pit: in dark places and in the shadow of death.
עָלַי סָמְכָה חֲמָתֶךָ וְכׇל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ עִנִּיתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Your fury has been confirmed over me. And you have brought all your waves upon me.
הִרְחַקְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַי מִמֶּנִּי שַׁתַּנִי תוֹעֵבוֹת לָמוֹ כָּלֻא וְלֹא אֵצֵֽא׃ | 8 |
You have sent my acquaintances far from me. They have set me as an abomination to themselves. I was handed over, yet I did not depart.
עֵינִי דָאֲבָה מִנִּי ־ עֹנִי קְרָאתִיךָ יְהֹוָה בְּכׇל־יוֹם שִׁטַּחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ כַפָּֽי׃ | 9 |
My eyes languished before destitution. All day long, I cried out to you, O Lord. I stretched out my hands to you.
הֲלַמֵּתִים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּלֶא אִם־רְפָאִים יָקוּמוּ ׀ יוֹדוּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 10 |
Will you perform wonders for the dead? Or will physicians raise to life, and so confess to you?
הַיְסֻפַּר בַּקֶּבֶר חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָּאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ | 11 |
Could anyone declare your mercy in the sepulcher, or your truth from within perdition?
הֲיִוָּדַע בַּחֹשֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ בְּאֶרֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
Will your wonders be known in the darkness, or your justice in the land of oblivion?
וַאֲנִי ׀ אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה שִׁוַּעְתִּי וּבַבֹּקֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִי תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ | 13 |
And I have cried out to you, O Lord, and in early morning, my prayer will come before you.
לָמָה יְהֹוָה תִּזְנַח נַפְשִׁי תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 14 |
Lord, why do you reject my prayer? Why do you turn your face away from me?
עָנִי אֲנִי וְגֹוֵעַ מִנֹּעַר נָשָׂאתִי אֵמֶיךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ | 15 |
I am poor, and I have been amid hardships from my youth. And, though I have been exalted, I am humbled and disturbed.
עָלַי עָבְרוּ חֲרוֹנֶיךָ בִּעוּתֶיךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ | 16 |
Your wrath has crossed into me, and your terrors have disturbed me.
סַבּוּנִי כַמַּיִם כׇּל־הַיּוֹם הִקִּיפוּ עָלַי יָֽחַד׃ | 17 |
They have surrounded me like water, all day long. They have surrounded me, all at once.
הִרְחַקְתָּ מִמֶּנִּי אֹהֵב וָרֵעַ מְֽיֻדָּעַי מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ | 18 |
Friend and neighbor, and my acquaintances, you have sent far away from me, away from misery.
