< תְהִלִּים 10 >
לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תַּעֲמֹ֣ד בְּרָחֹ֑וק תַּ֝עְלִ֗ים לְעִתֹּ֥ות בַּצָּרֽ͏ָה׃ | 1 |
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
בְּגַאֲוַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע יִדְלַ֣ק עָנִ֑י יִתָּפְשׂ֓וּ ׀ בִּמְזִמֹּ֖ות ז֣וּ חָשָֽׁבוּ׃ | 2 |
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
כִּֽי־הִלֵּ֣ל רָ֭שָׁע עַל־תַּאֲוַ֣ת נַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּבֹצֵ֥עַ בֵּ֝רֵ֗ךְ נִ֘אֵ֥ץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ | 3 |
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
רָשָׁ֗ע כְּגֹ֣בַהּ אַ֭פֹּו בַּל־יִדְרֹ֑שׁ אֵ֥ין אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים כָּל־מְזִמֹּותָֽיו׃ | 4 |
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
יָ֘חִ֤ילוּ דָרְכּו (דְרָכָ֨יו) ׀ בְּכָל־עֵ֗ת מָרֹ֣ום מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ מִנֶּגְדֹּ֑ו כָּל־צֹ֝ורְרָ֗יו יָפִ֥יחַ בָּהֶֽם׃ | 5 |
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
אָמַ֣ר בְּ֭לִבֹּו בַּל־אֶמֹּ֑וט לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־בְרָֽע׃ | 6 |
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
אָלָ֤ה פִּ֣יהוּ מָ֭לֵא וּמִרְמֹ֣ות וָתֹ֑ךְ תַּ֥חַת לְ֝שֹׁונֹ֗ו עָמָ֥ל וָאָֽוֶן׃ | 7 |
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
יֵשֵׁ֤ב ׀ בְּמַאְרַ֬ב חֲצֵרִ֗ים בַּֽ֭מִּסְתָּרִים יַהֲרֹ֣ג נָקִ֑י עֵ֝ינָ֗יו לְֽחֵלְכָ֥ה יִצְפֹּֽנוּ׃ | 8 |
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
יֶאֱרֹ֬ב בַּמִּסְתָּ֨ר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵ֬ה בְסֻכֹּ֗ה יֶ֭אֱרֹב לַחֲטֹ֣וף עָנִ֑י יַחְטֹ֥ף עָ֝נִ֗י בְּמָשְׁכֹ֥ו בְרִשְׁתֹּֽו׃ | 9 |
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
וַדָּכַה (יִדְכֶּ֥ה) יָשֹׁ֑חַ וְנָפַ֥ל בַּ֝עֲצוּמָ֗יו חֶלְכָּאִים (חֵ֣יל כָּאִֽים)׃ | 10 |
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
אָמַ֣ר בְּ֭לִבֹּו שָׁ֣כַֽח אֵ֑ל הִסְתִּ֥יר פָּ֝נָ֗יו בַּל־רָאָ֥ה לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 11 |
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
קוּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֭ל נְשָׂ֣א יָדֶ֑ךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח עֲנִיִּים (עֲנָוֽ͏ִים)׃ | 12 |
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
עַל־מֶ֤ה ׀ נִאֵ֖ץ רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָמַ֥ר בְּ֝לִבֹּ֗ו לֹ֣א תִּדְרֹֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
רָאִ֡תָה כִּֽי־אַתָּ֤ה ׀ עָ֘מָ֤ל וָכַ֨עַס ׀ תַּבִּיט֮ לָתֵ֪ת בְּיָ֫דֶ֥ךָ עָ֭לֶיךָ יַעֲזֹ֣ב חֵלֶ֑כָה יָ֝תֹ֗ום אַתָּ֤ה ׀ הָיִ֬יתָ עֹוזֵֽר׃ | 14 |
But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
שְׁ֭בֹר זְרֹ֣ועַ רָשָׁ֑ע וָ֝רָ֗ע תִּֽדְרֹושׁ־רִשְׁעֹ֥ו בַל־תִּמְצָֽא׃ | 15 |
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
יְהוָ֣ה מֶ֭לֶךְ עֹולָ֣ם וָעֶ֑ד אָבְד֥וּ גֹ֝ויִ֗ם מֵֽאַרְצֹֽו׃ | 16 |
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
תַּאֲוַ֬ת עֲנָוִ֣ים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ יְהוָ֑ה תָּכִ֥ין לִ֝בָּ֗ם תַּקְשִׁ֥יב אָזְנֶֽךָ׃ | 17 |
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
לִשְׁפֹּ֥ט יָתֹ֗ום וָ֫דָ֥ךְ בַּל־יֹוסִ֥יף עֹ֑וד לַעֲרֹ֥ץ אֱ֝נֹ֗ושׁ מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 18 |
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
