תְהִלִּים 88
| שִׁ֥יר מִזְמֹ֗ור לִבְנֵ֫י קֹ֥רַח לַמְנַצֵּ֣חַ עַל־מָחֲלַ֣ת לְעַנֹּ֑ות מַ֝שְׂכִּ֗יל לְהֵימָ֥ן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ יְ֭הוָה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יְשׁוּעָתִ֑י יֹום־צָעַ֖קְתִּי בַלַּ֣יְלָה נֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃ | 1 |
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
| תָּבֹ֣וא לְ֭פָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַטֵּֽה־אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ | 2 |
May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
| כִּֽי־שָֽׂבְעָ֣ה בְרָעֹ֣ות נַפְשִׁ֑י וְחַיַּ֗י לִשְׁאֹ֥ול הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol h7585) | 3 |
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
| נֶ֭חְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יֹ֣ורְדֵי בֹ֑ור הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּגֶ֣בֶר אֵֽין־אֱיָֽל׃ | 4 |
I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
| בַּמֵּתִ֗ים חָ֫פְשִׁ֥י כְּמֹ֤ו חֲלָלִ֨ים ׀ שֹׁ֥כְבֵי קֶ֗בֶר אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹ֣א זְכַרְתָּ֣ם עֹ֑וד וְ֝הֵ֗מָּה מִיָּדְךָ֥ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃ | 5 |
I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
| שַׁ֭תַּנִי בְּבֹ֣ור תַּחְתִּיֹּ֑ות בְּ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים בִּמְצֹלֹֽות׃ | 6 |
You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
| עָ֭לַי סָמְכָ֣ה חֲמָתֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־מִ֝שְׁבָּרֶ֗יךָ עִנִּ֥יתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me.
| הִרְחַ֥קְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי שַׁתַּ֣נִי תֹועֵבֹ֣ות לָ֑מֹו כָּ֝לֻ֗א וְלֹ֣א אֵצֵֽא׃ | 8 |
You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
| עֵינִ֥י דָאֲבָ֗ה מִנִּ֫י עֹ֥נִי קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־יֹ֑ום שִׁטַּ֖חְתִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ כַפָּֽי׃ | 9 |
My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
| הֲלַמֵּתִ֥ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּ֑לֶא אִם־רְ֝פָאִ֗ים יָק֤וּמוּ ׀ יֹוד֬וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 10 |
Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?
| הַיְסֻפַּ֣ר בַּקֶּ֣בֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בָּאֲבַדֹּֽון׃ | 11 |
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
| הֲיִוָּדַ֣ע בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶ֑ךָ וְ֝צִדְקָתְךָ֗ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
| וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה שִׁוַּ֑עְתִּי וּ֝בַבֹּ֗קֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ | 13 |
But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
| לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּזְנַ֣ח נַפְשִׁ֑י תַּסְתִּ֖יר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 14 |
Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
| עָ֘נִ֤י אֲנִ֣י וְגֹוֵ֣עַ מִנֹּ֑עַר נָשָׂ֖אתִי אֵמֶ֣יךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ | 15 |
From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
| עָ֭לַי עָבְר֣וּ חֲרֹונֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝עוּתֶ֗יךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ | 16 |
Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
| סַבּ֣וּנִי כַ֭מַּיִם כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום הִקִּ֖יפוּ עָלַ֣י יָֽחַד׃ | 17 |
All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
| הִרְחַ֣קְתָּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי אֹהֵ֣ב וָרֵ֑עַ מְֽיֻדָּעַ֥י מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ | 18 |
You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
