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 by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Suffering of Affliction.” A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite. LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
| תָּבֹ֣וא לְ֭פָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַטֵּֽה־אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ | 2 |
Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
| כִּֽי־שָֽׂבְעָ֣ה בְרָעֹ֣ות נַפְשִׁ֑י וְחַיַּ֗י לִשְׁאֹ֥ול הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol h7585) | 3 |
For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
| נֶ֭חְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יֹ֣ורְדֵי בֹ֑ור הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּגֶ֣בֶר אֵֽין־אֱיָֽל׃ | 4 |
I am counted amongst those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
| בַּמֵּתִ֗ים חָ֫פְשִׁ֥י כְּמֹ֤ו חֲלָלִ֨ים ׀ שֹׁ֥כְבֵי קֶ֗בֶר אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹ֣א זְכַרְתָּ֣ם עֹ֑וד וְ֝הֵ֗מָּה מִיָּדְךָ֥ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃ | 5 |
set apart amongst the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
| שַׁ֭תַּנִי בְּבֹ֣ור תַּחְתִּיֹּ֑ות בְּ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים בִּמְצֹלֹֽות׃ | 6 |
You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
| עָ֭לַי סָמְכָ֣ה חֲמָתֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־מִ֝שְׁבָּרֶ֗יךָ עִנִּ֥יתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
| הִרְחַ֥קְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי שַׁתַּ֣נִי תֹועֵבֹ֣ות לָ֑מֹו כָּ֝לֻ֗א וְלֹ֣א אֵצֵֽא׃ | 8 |
You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.
| עֵינִ֥י דָאֲבָ֗ה מִנִּ֫י עֹ֥נִי קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־יֹ֑ום שִׁטַּ֖חְתִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ כַפָּֽי׃ | 9 |
My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, LORD. I have spread out my hands to you.
| הֲלַמֵּתִ֥ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּ֑לֶא אִם־רְ֝פָאִ֗ים יָק֤וּמוּ ׀ יֹוד֬וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 10 |
Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? (Selah)
| הַיְסֻפַּ֣ר בַּקֶּ֣בֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בָּאֲבַדֹּֽון׃ | 11 |
Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
| הֲיִוָּדַ֣ע בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶ֑ךָ וְ֝צִדְקָתְךָ֗ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
| וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה שִׁוַּ֑עְתִּי וּ֝בַבֹּ֗קֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ | 13 |
But to you, LORD, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
| לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּזְנַ֣ח נַפְשִׁ֑י תַּסְתִּ֖יר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 14 |
LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
| עָ֘נִ֤י אֲנִ֣י וְגֹוֵ֣עַ מִנֹּ֑עַר נָשָׂ֖אתִי אֵמֶ֣יךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ | 15 |
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
| עָ֭לַי עָבְר֣וּ חֲרֹונֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝עוּתֶ֗יךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ | 16 |
Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
| סַבּ֣וּנִי כַ֭מַּיִם כָּל־הַיֹּ֑ום הִקִּ֖יפוּ עָלַ֣י יָֽחַד׃ | 17 |
They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
| הִרְחַ֣קְתָּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי אֹהֵ֣ב וָרֵ֑עַ מְֽיֻדָּעַ֥י מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ | 18 |
You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
