< תהילים 89 >
מַשְׂכִּיל לְאֵיתָן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ חַֽסְדֵי יְהֹוָה עוֹלָם אָשִׁירָה לְדֹר וָדֹר ׀ אוֹדִיעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בְּפִֽי׃ | 1 |
“A psalm of Ethan, the Ezrahite.” I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations!
כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי עוֹלָם חֶסֶד יִבָּנֶה שָׁמַיִם ׀ תָּכִן אֱמוּנָתְךָ בָהֶֽם׃ | 2 |
For I know that thy mercy endureth for ever; Thou hast established thy truth like the heavens.
כָּרַתִּי בְרִית לִבְחִירִי נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לְדָוִד עַבְדִּֽי׃ | 3 |
“I have made a covenant with my chosen; I have sworn to David, my servant:
עַד־עוֹלָם אָכִין זַרְעֶךָ וּבָנִיתִי לְדֹר־וָדוֹר כִּסְאֲךָ סֶֽלָה׃ | 4 |
Thy family I will establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations.” (Pause)
וְיוֹדוּ שָׁמַיִם פִּלְאֲךָ יְהֹוָה אַף־אֱמוּנָתְךָ בִּקְהַל קְדֹשִֽׁים׃ | 5 |
The heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD! And the assembly of the holy ones thy truth!
כִּי מִי בַשַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹךְ לַיהֹוָה יִדְמֶה לַיהֹוָה בִּבְנֵי אֵלִֽים׃ | 6 |
Who in the heavens can be compared to Jehovah? Who is like Jehovah among the sons of God?
אֵל נַעֲרָץ בְּסוֹד־קְדֹשִׁים רַבָּה וְנוֹרָא עַל־כׇּל־סְבִיבָֽיו׃ | 7 |
A God greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy ones, And to be had in reverence above all who are around him?
יְהֹוָה ׀ אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת מִֽי־כָמוֹךָֽ חֲסִין ׀ יָהּ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ סְבִיבוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 8 |
O Jehovah, God of hosts! Who is mighty like thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
אַתָּה מוֹשֵׁל בְּגֵאוּת הַיָּם בְּשׂוֹא גַלָּיו אַתָּה תְשַׁבְּחֵֽם׃ | 9 |
Thou rulest the raging of the sea; When the waves thereof rise, thou stillest them!
אַתָּה דִכִּאתָ כֶחָלָל רָהַב בִּזְרוֹעַ עֻזְּךָ פִּזַּרְתָּ אוֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
Thou didst break Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter thine enemies with thy mighty arm.
לְךָ שָׁמַיִם אַף־לְךָ אָרֶץ תֵּבֵל וּמְלֹאָהּ אַתָּה יְסַדְתָּֽם׃ | 11 |
The heavens are thine; thine also is the earth; The world and all that is therein, thou didst found them.
צָפוֹן וְיָמִין אַתָּה בְרָאתָם תָּבוֹר וְחֶרְמוֹן בְּשִׁמְךָ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃ | 12 |
The North and the South were created by thee; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
לְךָ זְרוֹעַ עִם־גְּבוּרָה תָּעֹז יָדְךָ תָּרוּם יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ | 13 |
Thine is a mighty arm; Strong is thy hand, and high thy right hand.
צֶדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאֶךָ חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת יְֽקַדְּמוּ פָנֶֽיךָ׃ | 14 |
Justice and equity are the foundation of thy throne; Mercy and truth go before thy face.
אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם יֹדְעֵי תְרוּעָה יְהֹוָה בְּֽאוֹר־פָּנֶיךָ יְהַלֵּכֽוּן׃ | 15 |
Happy the people that know the trumpet's sound! They walk, O LORD! in the light of thy countenance;
בְּשִׁמְךָ יְגִילוּן כׇּל־הַיּוֹם וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ יָרֽוּמוּ׃ | 16 |
In thy name they daily rejoice, And in thy righteousness they glory!
כִּי־תִפְאֶרֶת עֻזָּמוֹ אָתָּה וּבִרְצוֹנְךָ (תרים) [תָּרוּם] קַרְנֵֽינוּ׃ | 17 |
For thou art the glory of their strength; Yea, through thy favor our horn exalteth itself!
כִּי לַיהֹוָה מָגִנֵּנוּ וְלִקְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַלְכֵּֽנוּ׃ | 18 |
For from Jehovah is our shield, And from the Holy One of Israel is our king.
אָז דִּבַּרְתָּֽ־בְחָזוֹן לַחֲסִידֶיךָ וַתֹּאמֶר שִׁוִּיתִי עֵזֶר עַל־גִּבּוֹר הֲרִימוֹתִי בָחוּר מֵעָֽם׃ | 19 |
Once thou spakest in a vision to thy holy one, And saidst, —”I have laid help on one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people;
מָצָאתִי דָּוִד עַבְדִּי בְּשֶׁמֶן קׇדְשִׁי מְשַׁחְתִּֽיו׃ | 20 |
I have found David, my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him.
אֲשֶׁר יָדִי תִּכּוֹן עִמּוֹ אַף־זְרוֹעִי תְאַמְּצֶֽנּוּ׃ | 21 |
With him shall my hand be established, And my arm shall strengthen him.
לֹא־יַשִּׁיא אוֹיֵב בּוֹ וּבֶן־עַוְלָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 22 |
The enemy shall not have power over him, Nor shall the unrighteous man oppress him.
וְכַתּוֹתִי מִפָּנָיו צָרָיו וּמְשַׂנְאָיו אֶגּֽוֹף׃ | 23 |
For I will beat down his foes before him, And overthrow them that hate him.
וֶאֱֽמוּנָתִי וְחַסְדִּי עִמּוֹ וּבִשְׁמִי תָּרוּם קַרְנֽוֹ׃ | 24 |
My faithfulness and mercy shall be with him, And through my name shall his horn be exalted.
וְשַׂמְתִּי בַיָּם יָדוֹ וּֽבַנְּהָרוֹת יְמִינֽוֹ׃ | 25 |
I will extend his hand to the sea, And his right hand to the rivers.
הוּא יִקְרָאֵנִי אָבִי אָתָּה אֵלִי וְצוּר יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ | 26 |
He shall say to me, 'Thou art my father, My God, and the rock of my salvation!'
אַף־אָנִי בְּכוֹר אֶתְּנֵהוּ עֶלְיוֹן לְמַלְכֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 27 |
I will also make him my first-born, Highest of the kings of the earth.
לְעוֹלָם (אשמור) [אֶשְׁמׇר־]לוֹ חַסְדִּי וּבְרִיתִי נֶאֱמֶנֶת לֽוֹ׃ | 28 |
My mercy I will continue to him for ever; My covenant with him shall be steadfast.
וְשַׂמְתִּי לָעַד זַרְעוֹ וְכִסְאוֹ כִּימֵי שָׁמָֽיִם׃ | 29 |
I will make his family to endure for ever; And his throne shall be as lasting as the heavens.
אִם־יַעַזְבוּ בָנָיו תּוֹרָתִי וּבְמִשְׁפָּטַי לֹא יֵלֵכֽוּן׃ | 30 |
Should his children forsake my law, And walk not in my statutes,
אִם־חֻקֹּתַי יְחַלֵּלוּ וּמִצְוֺתַי לֹא יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ׃ | 31 |
Should they break my commandments, And observe not my precepts,
וּפָקַדְתִּי בְשֵׁבֶט פִּשְׁעָם וּבִנְגָעִים עֲוֺנָֽם׃ | 32 |
I will punish their transgressions with a rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
וְחַסְדִּי לֹא־אָפִיר מֵעִמּוֹ וְלֹא־אֲשַׁקֵּר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִֽי׃ | 33 |
But my kindness will I not withdraw from him, Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
לֹֽא־אֲחַלֵּל בְּרִיתִי וּמוֹצָא שְׂפָתַי לֹא אֲשַׁנֶּֽה׃ | 34 |
I will not break my covenant, Nor alter what hath gone from my lips.
אַחַת נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי בְקׇדְשִׁי אִֽם־לְדָוִד אֲכַזֵּֽב׃ | 35 |
Once have I sworn in my holiness, That I will not be false unto David.
זַרְעוֹ לְעוֹלָם יִהְיֶה וְכִסְאוֹ כַשֶּׁמֶשׁ נֶגְדִּֽי׃ | 36 |
His family shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me.
כְּיָרֵחַ יִכּוֹן עוֹלָם וְעֵד בַּשַּׁחַק נֶאֱמָן סֶֽלָה׃ | 37 |
It shall be established for ever like the moon; Like the faithful witness in the sky.”
וְאַתָּה זָנַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָס הִתְעַבַּרְתָּ עִם־מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ | 38 |
But now thou forsakest and abhorrest, And art angry with, thine anointed.
נֵאַרְתָּה בְּרִית עַבְדֶּךָ חִלַּלְתָּ לָאָרֶץ נִזְרֽוֹ׃ | 39 |
Thou hast made void the covenant with thy servant; Thou hast cast his crown to the ground.
פָּרַצְתָּ כׇל־גְּדֵרֹתָיו שַׂמְתָּ מִבְצָרָיו מְחִתָּֽה׃ | 40 |
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
שַׁסֻּהוּ כׇּל־עֹבְרֵי דָרֶךְ הָיָה חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנָֽיו׃ | 41 |
All who pass by plunder him; He is a reproach to his neighbors.
הֲרִימוֹתָ יְמִין צָרָיו הִשְׂמַחְתָּ כׇּל־אוֹיְבָֽיו׃ | 42 |
Thou hast lifted up the right hand of his enemies; Thou hast made all his adversaries to rejoice.
אַף־תָּשִׁיב צוּר חַרְבּוֹ וְלֹא הֲקֵימֹתוֹ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ | 43 |
Yea, thou hast turned the edge of his sword, And made him unable to stand in battle.
הִשְׁבַּתָּ מִטְּהָרוֹ וְכִסְאוֹ לָאָרֶץ מִגַּֽרְתָּה׃ | 44 |
Thou hast brought his glory to an end, And hast cast down his throne to the ground.
הִקְצַרְתָּ יְמֵי עֲלוּמָיו הֶעֱטִיתָ עָלָיו בּוּשָׁה סֶֽלָה׃ | 45 |
Thou hast shortened the days of his youth; Thou hast covered him with shame.
עַד־מָה יְהֹוָה תִּסָּתֵר לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמוֹ־אֵשׁ חֲמָתֶֽךָ׃ | 46 |
How long, O LORD! wilt thou hide thyself for ever? How long shall thine anger burn like fire?
זְכׇר־אֲנִי מֶה־חָלֶד עַל־מַה־שָּׁוְא בָּרָאתָ כׇל־בְּנֵֽי־אָדָֽם׃ | 47 |
Remember how short is my life, To what frailty thou hast created all men!
מִי גֶבֶר יִֽחְיֶה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה־מָּוֶת יְמַלֵּט נַפְשׁוֹ מִיַּד־שְׁאוֹל סֶֽלָה׃ (Sheol ) | 48 |
What man liveth, and seeth not death? Who can deliver himself from the underworld? (Sheol )
אַיֵּה ׀ חֲסָדֶיךָ הָרִאשֹׁנִים ׀ אֲדֹנָי נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לְדָוִד בֶּאֱמוּנָתֶֽךָ׃ | 49 |
Where, Lord, is thy former loving-kindness Which thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
זְכֹר אֲדֹנָי חֶרְפַּת עֲבָדֶיךָ שְׂאֵתִי בְחֵיקִי כׇּל־רַבִּים עַמִּֽים׃ | 50 |
Remember, O Lord! the reproach of thy servants, How I bear in my bosom the taunts of all the many nations,
אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ אוֹיְבֶיךָ ׀ יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּ עִקְּבוֹת מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ׃ | 51 |
With which thine enemies have reproached me, O LORD! With which they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed!
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם אָמֵן ׀ וְאָמֵֽן׃ | 52 |
[Praised be Jehovah for ever! Amen, yea, amen!]
