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. TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “SICKNESS TO AFFLICT.” AN INSTRUCTION OF HEMAN THE EZRAHITE. O YHWH, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before You,
| תָּבֹ֣וא לְ֭פָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַטֵּֽה־אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ | 2 |
My prayer comes in before You, Incline Your ear to my loud cry,
| כִּֽי־שָֽׂבְעָ֣ה בְרָעֹ֣ות נַפְשִׁ֑י וְחַיַּ֗י לִשְׁאֹ֥ול הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol h7585) | 3 |
For my soul has been full of evils, And my life has come to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
| נֶ֭חְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יֹ֣ורְדֵי בֹ֑ור הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּגֶ֣בֶר אֵֽין־אֱיָֽל׃ | 4 |
I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
| בַּמֵּתִ֗ים חָ֫פְשִׁ֥י כְּמֹ֤ו חֲלָלִ֨ים ׀ שֹׁ֥כְבֵי קֶ֗בֶר אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹ֣א זְכַרְתָּ֣ם עֹ֑וד וְ֝הֵ֗מָּה מִיָּדְךָ֥ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃ | 5 |
Among the dead—free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom You have not remembered anymore, Indeed, they have been cut off by Your hand.
| שַׁ֭תַּנִי בְּבֹ֣ור תַּחְתִּיֹּ֑ות בְּ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים בִּמְצֹלֹֽות׃ | 6 |
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
| עָ֭לַי סָמְכָ֣ה חֲמָתֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־מִ֝שְׁבָּרֶ֗יךָ עִנִּ֥יתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Your fury has lain on me, And You have afflicted [with] all Your breakers. (Selah)
| הִרְחַ֥קְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי שַׁתַּ֣נִי תֹועֵבֹ֣ות לָ֑מֹו כָּ֝לֻ֗א וְלֹ֣א אֵצֵֽא׃ | 8 |
You have put my acquaintance far from me, You have made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I do not go forth.
| עֵינִ֥י דָאֲבָ֗ה מִנִּ֫י עֹ֥נִי קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־יֹ֑ום שִׁטַּ֖חְתִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ כַפָּֽי׃ | 9 |
My eye has grieved because of affliction, I called You, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out my hands to You.
| הֲלַמֵּתִ֥ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּ֑לֶא אִם־רְ֝פָאִ֗ים יָק֤וּמוּ ׀ יֹוד֬וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 10 |
Do You do wonders to the dead? Does Rephaim rise? Do they thank You? (Selah)
| הַיְסֻפַּ֣ר בַּקֶּ֣בֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בָּאֲבַדֹּֽון׃ | 11 |
Is Your kindness recounted in the grave? Your faithfulness in destruction?
| הֲיִוָּדַ֣ע בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶ֑ךָ וְ֝צִדְקָתְךָ֗ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
Are Your wonders known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
| וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה שִׁוַּ֑עְתִּי וּ֝בַבֹּ֗קֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ | 13 |
And I, to You, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
| לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּזְנַ֣ח נַפְשִׁ֑י תַּסְתִּ֖יר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 14 |
Why, O YHWH, do You cast off my soul? You hide Your face from me.
| עָ֘נִ֤י אֲנִ֣י וְגֹוֵ֣עַ מִנֹּ֑עַר נָשָׂ֖אתִי אֵמֶ֣יךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ | 15 |
I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Your terrors—I pine away.
| עָ֭לַי עָבְר֣וּ חֲרֹונֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝עוּתֶ֗יךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ | 16 |
Your wrath has passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off,
| סַבּ֣וּנִי כַ֭מַּיִם כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום הִקִּ֖יפוּ עָלַ֣י יָֽחַד׃ | 17 |
They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone around against me together,
| הִרְחַ֣קְתָּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי אֹהֵ֣ב וָרֵ֑עַ מְֽיֻדָּעַ֥י מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ | 18 |
You have put lover and friend far from me, My acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
