תהילים 89
| מַשְׂכִּיל לְאֵיתָן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ חַֽסְדֵי יְהֹוָה עוֹלָם אָשִׁירָה לְדֹר וָדֹר ׀ אוֹדִיעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בְּפִֽי׃ | 1 |
The understanding of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lord in eternity. I will announce your truth with my mouth, from generation to generation.
| כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי עוֹלָם חֶסֶד יִבָּנֶה שָׁמַיִם ׀ תָּכִן אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָהֶֽם׃ | 2 |
For you have said: Mercy will be built in the heavens, unto eternity. Your truth will be prepared there.
| כָּרַתִּי בְרִית לִבְחִירִי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לְדָוִד עַבְדִּֽי׃ | 3 |
I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant:
| עַד־עוֹלָם אָכִין זַרְעֶךָ וּבָנִיתִי לְדֹר־וָדוֹר כִּסְאֲךָ סֶֽלָה׃ | 4 |
I will prepare your offspring, even in eternity. And I will build up your throne, from generation to generation.
| וְיוֹדוּ שָׁמַיִם פִּלְאֲךָ יְהֹוָה אַף־אֱמוּנָתְךָ בִּקְהַל קְדֹשִֽׁים׃ | 5 |
The heavens will confess your miracles, Lord, and also your truth, in the Church of the saints.
| כִּי מִי בַשַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹךְ לַיהֹוָה יִדְמֶה לַיהֹוָה בִּבְנֵי אֵלִֽים׃ | 6 |
For who among the clouds is equal to the Lord? Who among the sons of God is like God?
| אֵל נַעֲרָץ בְּסוֹד־קְדֹשִׁים רַבָּה וְנוֹרָא עַל־כׇּל־סְבִיבָֽיו׃ | 7 |
God is glorified by the counsel of the saints. He is great and terrible above all those who are around him.
| יְהֹוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת מִֽי־כָמוֹךָֽ חֲסִין ׀ יָהּ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ סְבִיבוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 8 |
O Lord, God of hosts, who is like you? You are powerful, Lord, and your truth is all around you.
| אַתָּה מוֹשֵׁל בְּגֵאוּת הַיָּם בְּשׂוֹא גַלָּיו אַתָּה תְשַׁבְּחֵֽם׃ | 9 |
You rule over the power of the sea, and you even mitigate the movement of its waves.
| אַתָּה דִכִּאתָ כֶחָלָל רָהַב בִּזְרוֹעַ עֻזְּךָ פִּזַּרְתָּ אוֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
You have humbled the arrogant one, like one who has been wounded. You have scattered your enemies with the arm of your strength.
| לְךָ שָׁמַיִם אַף־לְךָ אָרֶץ תֵּבֵל וּמְלֹאָהּ אַתָּה יְסַדְתָּֽם׃ | 11 |
Yours are the heavens, and yours is the earth. You founded the whole world in all its fullness.
| צָפוֹן וְיָמִין אַתָּה בְרָאתָם תָּבוֹר וְחֶרְמוֹן בְּשִׁמְךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃ | 12 |
You created the north and the sea. Tabor and Hermon will exult in your name.
| לְךָ זְרוֹעַ עִם־גְּבוּרָה תָּעֹז יָדְךָ תָּרוּם יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ | 13 |
Your arm acts with power. Let your hand be strengthened, and let your right hand be exalted.
| צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֶךָ חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת יְֽקַדְּמוּ פָנֶֽיךָ׃ | 14 |
Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne. Mercy and truth will precede your face.
| אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם יֹדְעֵי תְרוּעָה יְהֹוָה בְּֽאוֹר־פָּנֶיךָ יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ | 15 |
Blessed is the people that knows jubilation. They will walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord,
| בְּשִׁמְךָ יְגִילוּן כׇּל־הַיּוֹם וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ יָרֽוּמוּ׃ | 16 |
and they will exult in your name all day long, and they will be exalted in your justice.
| כִּי־תִפְאֶרֶת עֻזָּמוֹ אָתָּה וּבִרְצוֹנְךָ (תרים) [תָּרוּם] קַרְנֵֽינוּ׃ | 17 |
For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.
| כִּי לַיהֹוָה מָגִנֵּנוּ וְלִקְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַלְכֵּֽנוּ׃ | 18 |
For our assumption is of the Lord, and it is of our king, the holy one of Israel.
| אָז דִּבַּרְתָּֽ־בְחָזוֹן לַחֲסִידֶיךָ וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁוִּיתִי עֵזֶר עַל־גִּבּוֹר הֲרִימוֹתִי בָחוּר מֵעָֽם׃ | 19 |
Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones, and you said: I have stationed help with the powerful one, and I have exalted the elect one from my people.
| מָצָאתִי דָּוִד עַבְדִּי בְּשֶׁמֶן קׇדְשִׁי מְשַׁחְתִּֽיו׃ | 20 |
I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.
| אֲשֶׁר יָדִי תִּכּוֹן עִמּוֹ אַף־זְרוֹעִי תְאַמְּצֶֽנּוּ׃ | 21 |
For my hand will assist him, and my arm will fortify him.
| לֹא־יַשִּׁיא אוֹיֵב בּוֹ וּבֶן־עַוְלָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 22 |
The enemy will have no advantage over him, nor will the son of iniquity be positioned to harm him.
| וְכַתּוֹתִי מִפָּנָיו צָרָיו וּמְשַׂנְאָיו אֶגּֽוֹף׃ | 23 |
And I will cut down his enemies before his face. And those who hate him, I will turn to flight.
| וֶאֱֽמוּנָתִי וְחַסְדִּי עִמּוֹ וּבִשְׁמִי תָּרוּם קַרְנֽוֹ׃ | 24 |
And my truth and my mercy will be with him. And his horn will be exalted in my name.
| וְשַׂמְתִּי בַיָּם יָדוֹ וּֽבַנְּהָרוֹת יְמִינֽוֹ׃ | 25 |
And I will place his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
| הוּא יִקְרָאֵנִי אָבִי אָתָּה אֵלִי וְצוּר יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ | 26 |
He will invoke me: “You are my father, my God, and the support of my salvation.”
| אַף־אָנִי בְּכוֹר אֶתְּנֵהוּ עֶלְיוֹן לְמַלְכֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 27 |
And I will make him the first-born, preeminent before the kings of the earth.
| לְעוֹלָם (אשמור) [אֶשְׁמׇר־]לוֹ חַסְדִּי וּבְרִיתִי נֶאֱמֶנֶת לֽוֹ׃ | 28 |
I will preserve my mercy for him eternally, and my covenant for him faithfully.
| וְשַׂמְתִּי לָעַד זַרְעוֹ וְכִסְאוֹ כִּימֵי שָׁמָֽיִם׃ | 29 |
And I will set his offspring from generation to generation, and his throne like the days of heaven.
| אִם־יַעַזְבוּ בָנָיו תּוֹרָתִי וּבְמִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא יֵלֵכֽוּן׃ | 30 |
But if his sons abandon my law, and if they do not walk in my judgments,
| אִם־חֻקֹּתַי יְחַלֵּלוּ וּמִצְוֺתַי לֹא יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ׃ | 31 |
if they profane my justices, and if they do not keep my commandments:
| וּפָקַדְתִּי בְשֵׁבֶט פִּשְׁעָם וּבִנְגָעִים עֲוֺנָֽם׃ | 32 |
I will visit their iniquities with a rod, and their sins with a beating.
| וְחַסְדִּי לֹא־אָפִיר מֵעִמּוֹ וְלֹא־אֲשַׁקֵּר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִֽי׃ | 33 |
But I will not scatter my mercy from him, and I will not do harm to my truth.
| לֹֽא־אֲחַלֵּל בְּרִיתִי וּמוֹצָא שְׂפָתַי לֹא אֲשַׁנֶּֽה׃ | 34 |
And I will not profane my covenant, and I will not make void that which proceeds from my lips.
| אַחַת נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְקׇדְשִׁי אִֽם־לְדָוִד אֲכַזֵּֽב׃ | 35 |
I have sworn by my holiness one time: I will not lie to David,
| זַרְעוֹ לְעוֹלָם יִהְיֶה וְכִסְאוֹ כַשֶּׁמֶשׁ נֶגְדִּֽי׃ | 36 |
his offspring will remain for eternity. And his throne will be like the sun in my sight,
| כְּיָרֵחַ יִכּוֹן עוֹלָם וְעֵד בַּשַּׁחַק נֶאֱמָן סֶֽלָה׃ | 37 |
and, like the moon, it is perfected in eternity, and it is a faithful witness in heaven.
| וְאַתָּה זָנַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָס הִתְעַבַּרְתָּ עִם־מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ | 38 |
Yet, truly, you have rejected and despised, you have pushed away, my Christ.
| נֵאַרְתָּה בְּרִית עַבְדֶּךָ חִלַּלְתָּ לָאָרֶץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃ | 39 |
You have overthrown the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his sanctuary on earth.
| פָּרַצְתָּ כׇל־גְּדֵרֹתָיו שַׂמְתָּ מִבְצָרָיו מְחִתָּֽה׃ | 40 |
You have destroyed all his fences. You have made his territory dreadful.
| שַׁסֻּהוּ כׇּל־עֹבְרֵי דָרֶךְ הָיָה חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנָֽיו׃ | 41 |
All who pass by the way have plundered him. He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.
| הֲרִימוֹתָ יְמִין צָרָיו הִשְׂמַחְתָּ כׇּל־אוֹיְבָֽיו׃ | 42 |
You have exalted the right hand of those who oppress him. You have brought joy to all his enemies.
| אַף־תָּשִׁיב צוּר חַרְבּוֹ וְלֹא הֲקֵימֹתוֹ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ | 43 |
You have diverted the help of his sword, and you have not assisted him in battle.
| הִשְׁבַּתָּ מִטְּהָרוֹ וְכִסְאוֹ לָאָרֶץ מִגַּֽרְתָּה׃ | 44 |
You have torn him away from cleansing, and you have smashed his throne down to the ground.
| הִקְצַרְתָּ יְמֵי עֲלוּמָיו הֶעֱטִיתָ עָלָיו בּוּשָׁה סֶֽלָה׃ | 45 |
You have reduced the days of his time. You have flooded him with confusion.
| עַד־מָה יְהֹוָה תִּסָּתֵר לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמוֹ־אֵשׁ חֲמָתֶֽךָ׃ | 46 |
How long, O Lord? Will you turn away unto the end? Will your wrath flare up like a fire?
| זְכׇר־אֲנִי מֶה־חָלֶד עַל־מַה־שָּׁוְא בָּרָאתָ כׇל־בְּנֵֽי־אָדָֽם׃ | 47 |
Remember what my substance is. For could you really have appointed all the sons of men in vain?
| מִי גֶבֶר יִֽחְיֶה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה־מָּוֶת יְמַלֵּט נַפְשׁוֹ מִיַּד־שְׁאוֹל סֶֽלָה׃ (Sheol h7585) | 48 |
Who is the man that will live, and yet not see death? Who will rescue his own soul from the hand of the underworld? (Sheol h7585)
| אַיֵּה ׀ חֲסָדֶיךָ הָרִאשֹׁנִים ׀ אֲדֹנָי נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לְדָוִד בֶּאֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃ | 49 |
O Lord, where are your mercies of antiquity, just as you swore to David in your truth?
| זְכֹר אֲדֹנָי חֶרְפַּת עֲבָדֶיךָ שְׂאֵתִי בְחֵיקִי כׇּל־רַבִּים עַמִּֽים׃ | 50 |
Be mindful, O Lord, of the disgrace of your servants (which I have sustained in my sinews) among many nations.
| אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ אוֹיְבֶיךָ ׀ יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ עִקְּבוֹת מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ | 51 |
With these, your enemies have reproached you, O Lord; with these, they have reproached the commutation of your Christ.
| בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ | 52 |
Blessed is the Lord for all eternity. Amen. Amen.
