תְהִלִּים 79
| מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֱֽלֹהִ֡ים בָּ֤אוּ גֹויִ֨ם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶ֗ךָ טִ֭מְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ֣͏ִם לְעִיִּֽים׃ | 1 |
A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
| נָֽתְנ֡וּ אֶת־נִבְלַ֬ת עֲבָדֶ֗יךָ מַ֭אֲכָל לְעֹ֣וף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּשַׂ֥ר חֲ֝סִידֶ֗יךָ לְחַיְתֹו־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 2 |
They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast of the earth.
| שָׁפְכ֬וּ דָמָ֨ם ׀ כַּמַּ֗יִם סְֽבִ֘יבֹ֤ות יְֽרוּשָׁלָ֗͏ִם וְאֵ֣ין קֹובֵֽר׃ | 3 |
They have shed their blood As water around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
| הָיִ֣ינוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵֽינוּ׃ | 4 |
We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
| עַד־מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תֶּאֱנַ֣ף לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֥ר כְּמֹו־אֵ֝֗שׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃ | 5 |
Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.
| שְׁפֹ֤ךְ חֲמָתְךָ֨ אֶֽל־הַגֹּויִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֪ר לֹא־יְדָ֫ע֥וּךָ וְעַ֥ל מַמְלָכֹ֑ות אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃ | 6 |
Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.
| כִּ֭י אָכַ֣ל אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְֽאֶת־נָוֵ֥הוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃ | 7 |
For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.
| אַֽל־תִּזְכָּר־לָנוּ֮ עֲוֹנֹ֪ת רִאשֹׁ֫נִ֥ים מַ֭הֵר יְקַדְּמ֣וּנוּ רַחֲמֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י דַלֹּ֣ונוּ מְאֹֽד׃ | 8 |
Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
| עָזְרֵ֤נוּ ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׁעֵ֗נוּ עַל־דְּבַ֥ר כְּבֹֽוד־שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וְהַצִּילֵ֥נוּ וְכַפֵּ֥ר עַל־חַ֝טֹּאתֵ֗ינוּ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake.
| לָ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגֹּויִם֮ אַיֵּ֪ה אֱֽלֹהֵ֫יהֶ֥ם יִוָּדַ֣ע בַּגִּיִּים (בַּגֹּויִ֣ם) לְעֵינֵ֑ינוּ נִ֝קְמַ֗ת דַּֽם־עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃ | 10 |
Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants that is shed.
| תָּ֤בֹ֣וא לְפָנֶיךָ֮ אֶנְקַ֪ת אָ֫סִ֥יר כְּגֹ֥דֶל זְרֹועֲךָ֑ הֹ֝ותֵ֗ר בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃ | 11 |
Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.
| וְהָ֘שֵׁ֤ב לִשְׁכֵנֵ֣ינוּ שִׁ֭בְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָ֑ם חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּךָ אֲדֹנֽ͏ָי׃ | 12 |
And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.
| וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַמְּךָ֨ ׀ וְצֹ֥אן מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ נֹ֤ודֶ֥ה לְּךָ֗ לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֑ר נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ | 13 |
And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!
