< תְהִלִּים 10 >
לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תַּעֲמֹ֣ד בְּרָחֹ֑וק תַּ֝עְלִ֗ים לְעִתֹּ֥ות בַּצָּרֽ͏ָה׃ | 1 |
WHY standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
בְּגַאֲוַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע יִדְלַ֣ק עָנִ֑י יִתָּפְשׂ֓וּ ׀ בִּמְזִמֹּ֖ות ז֣וּ חָשָֽׁבוּ׃ | 2 |
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
כִּֽי־הִלֵּ֣ל רָ֭שָׁע עַל־תַּאֲוַ֣ת נַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּבֹצֵ֥עַ בֵּ֝רֵ֗ךְ נִ֘אֵ֥ץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ | 3 |
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
רָשָׁ֗ע כְּגֹ֣בַהּ אַ֭פֹּו בַּל־יִדְרֹ֑שׁ אֵ֥ין אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים כָּל־מְזִמֹּותָֽיו׃ | 4 |
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
יָ֘חִ֤ילוּ דָרְכּו (דְרָכָ֨יו) ׀ בְּכָל־עֵ֗ת מָרֹ֣ום מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ מִנֶּגְדֹּ֑ו כָּל־צֹ֝ורְרָ֗יו יָפִ֥יחַ בָּהֶֽם׃ | 5 |
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
אָמַ֣ר בְּ֭לִבֹּו בַּל־אֶמֹּ֑וט לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־בְרָֽע׃ | 6 |
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
אָלָ֤ה פִּ֣יהוּ מָ֭לֵא וּמִרְמֹ֣ות וָתֹ֑ךְ תַּ֥חַת לְ֝שֹׁונֹ֗ו עָמָ֥ל וָאָֽוֶן׃ | 7 |
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
יֵשֵׁ֤ב ׀ בְּמַאְרַ֬ב חֲצֵרִ֗ים בַּֽ֭מִּסְתָּרִים יַהֲרֹ֣ג נָקִ֑י עֵ֝ינָ֗יו לְֽחֵלְכָ֥ה יִצְפֹּֽנוּ׃ | 8 |
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
יֶאֱרֹ֬ב בַּמִּסְתָּ֨ר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵ֬ה בְסֻכֹּ֗ה יֶ֭אֱרֹב לַחֲטֹ֣וף עָנִ֑י יַחְטֹ֥ף עָ֝נִ֗י בְּמָשְׁכֹ֥ו בְרִשְׁתֹּֽו׃ | 9 |
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
וַדָּכַה (יִדְכֶּ֥ה) יָשֹׁ֑חַ וְנָפַ֥ל בַּ֝עֲצוּמָ֗יו חֶלְכָּאִים (חֵ֣יל כָּאִֽים)׃ | 10 |
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
אָמַ֣ר בְּ֭לִבֹּו שָׁ֣כַֽח אֵ֑ל הִסְתִּ֥יר פָּ֝נָ֗יו בַּל־רָאָ֥ה לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 11 |
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
קוּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֭ל נְשָׂ֣א יָדֶ֑ךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח עֲנִיִּים (עֲנָוֽ͏ִים)׃ | 12 |
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
עַל־מֶ֤ה ׀ נִאֵ֖ץ רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָמַ֥ר בְּ֝לִבֹּ֗ו לֹ֣א תִּדְרֹֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
רָאִ֡תָה כִּֽי־אַתָּ֤ה ׀ עָ֘מָ֤ל וָכַ֨עַס ׀ תַּבִּיט֮ לָתֵ֪ת בְּיָ֫דֶ֥ךָ עָ֭לֶיךָ יַעֲזֹ֣ב חֵלֶ֑כָה יָ֝תֹ֗ום אַתָּ֤ה ׀ הָיִ֬יתָ עֹוזֵֽר׃ | 14 |
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
שְׁ֭בֹר זְרֹ֣ועַ רָשָׁ֑ע וָ֝רָ֗ע תִּֽדְרֹושׁ־רִשְׁעֹ֥ו בַל־תִּמְצָֽא׃ | 15 |
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
יְהוָ֣ה מֶ֭לֶךְ עֹולָ֣ם וָעֶ֑ד אָבְד֥וּ גֹ֝ויִ֗ם מֵֽאַרְצֹֽו׃ | 16 |
The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
תַּאֲוַ֬ת עֲנָוִ֣ים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ יְהוָ֑ה תָּכִ֥ין לִ֝בָּ֗ם תַּקְשִׁ֥יב אָזְנֶֽךָ׃ | 17 |
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
לִשְׁפֹּ֥ט יָתֹ֗ום וָ֫דָ֥ךְ בַּל־יֹוסִ֥יף עֹ֑וד לַעֲרֹ֥ץ אֱ֝נֹ֗ושׁ מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 18 |
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
