< תְהִלִּים 102 >
תְּ֭פִלָּה לְעָנִ֣י כִֽי־יַעֲטֹ֑ף וְלִפְנֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ שִׂיחֹֽו׃ יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י אֵלֶ֥יךָ תָבֹֽוא׃ | 1 |
HEAR my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.
אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי֮ בְּיֹ֪ום צַ֫ר לִ֥י הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַ֥י אָזְנֶ֑ךָ בְּיֹ֥ום אֶ֝קְרָ֗א מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃ | 2 |
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
כִּֽי־כָל֣וּ בְעָשָׁ֣ן יָמָ֑י וְ֝עַצְמֹותַ֗י כְּמֹו־קֵ֥ד נִחָֽרוּ׃ | 3 |
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
הוּכָּֽה־כָ֭עֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַ֣שׁ לִבִּ֑י כִּֽי־שָׁ֝כַ֗חְתִּי מֵאֲכֹ֥ל לַחְמִֽי׃ | 4 |
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
מִקֹּ֥ול אַנְחָתִ֑י דָּבְקָ֥ה עַ֝צְמִ֗י לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃ | 5 |
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
דָּ֭מִיתִי לִקְאַ֣ת מִדְבָּ֑ר הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּכֹ֣וס חֳרָבֹֽות׃ | 6 |
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
שָׁקַ֥דְתִּי וָאֶֽהְיֶ֑ה כְּ֝צִפֹּ֗ור בֹּודֵ֥ד עַל־גָּֽג׃ | 7 |
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
כָּל־הַ֭יֹּום חֵרְפ֣וּנִי אֹויְבָ֑י מְ֝הֹולָלַ֗י בִּ֣י נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃ | 8 |
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
כִּי־אֵ֭פֶר כַּלֶּ֣חֶם אָכָ֑לְתִּי וְ֝שִׁקֻּוַ֗י בִּבְכִ֥י מָסָֽכְתִּי׃ | 9 |
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
מִפְּנֵֽי־זַֽעַמְךָ֥ וְקִצְפֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י נְ֝שָׂאתַ֗נִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃ | 10 |
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
יָ֭מַי כְּצֵ֣ל נָט֑וּי וַ֝אֲנִ֗י כָּעֵ֥שֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃ | 11 |
My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֑ב וְ֝זִכְרְךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃ | 12 |
But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
אַתָּ֣ה תָ֭קוּם תְּרַחֵ֣ם צִיֹּ֑ון כִּי־עֵ֥ת לְ֝חֶֽנְנָ֗הּ כִּי־בָ֥א מֹועֵֽד׃ | 13 |
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
כִּֽי־רָצ֣וּ עֲ֭בָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְֽאֶת־עֲפָרָ֥הּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃ | 14 |
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
וְיִֽירְא֣וּ גֹ֭ויִם אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וְֽכָל־מַלְכֵ֥י הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ אֶת־כְּבֹודֶֽךָ׃ | 15 |
So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
כִּֽי־בָנָ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה צִיֹּ֑ון נִ֝רְאָ֗ה בִּכְבֹודֹֽו׃ | 16 |
When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
פָּ֭נָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּ֣ת הָעַרְעָ֑ר וְלֹֽא־בָ֝זָ֗ה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃ | 17 |
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
תִּכָּ֣תֶב זֹ֭את לְדֹ֣ור אַחֲרֹ֑ון וְעַ֥ם נִ֝בְרָ֗א יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ׃ | 18 |
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
כִּֽי־הִ֭שְׁקִיף מִמְּרֹ֣ום קָדְשֹׁ֑ו יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִשָּׁמַ֤יִם ׀ אֶל־אֶ֬רֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃ | 19 |
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
לִ֭שְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַ֣ת אָסִ֑יר לְ֝פַתֵּ֗חַ בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃ | 20 |
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
לְסַפֵּ֣ר בְּ֭צִיֹּון שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝תְהִלָּתֹ֗ו בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 21 |
To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
בְּהִקָּבֵ֣ץ עַמִּ֣ים יַחְדָּ֑ו וּ֝מַמְלָכֹ֗ות לַעֲבֹ֥ד אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ | 22 |
When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
עִנָּ֖ה בַדֶּ֥רֶךְ כֹּחֹו (כֹּחִ֗י) קִצַּ֥ר יָמָֽי׃ | 23 |
He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
אֹמַ֗ר אֵלִ֗י אַֽל־תַּ֭עֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִ֣י יָמָ֑י בְּדֹ֖ור דֹּורִ֣ים שְׁנֹותֶֽיךָ׃ | 24 |
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
לְ֭פָנִים הָאָ֣רֶץ יָסַ֑דְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃ | 25 |
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
הֵ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תַ֫עֲמֹ֥ד וְ֭כֻלָּם כַּבֶּ֣גֶד יִבְל֑וּ כַּלְּב֖וּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵ֣ם וֽ͏ְיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃ | 26 |
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
וְאַתָּה־ה֑וּא וּ֝שְׁנֹותֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִתָּֽמּוּ׃ | 27 |
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
בְּנֵֽי־עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ יִשְׁכֹּ֑ונוּ וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם לְפָנֶ֥יךָ יִכֹּֽון׃ | 28 |
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
