< 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 sons of Korah, to the Overseer, 'Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' — An instruction, by Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before Thee,
תָּבֹ֣וא לְ֭פָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִ֑י הַטֵּֽה־אָ֝זְנְךָ֗ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ | 2 |
My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my loud cry,
כִּֽי־שָֽׂבְעָ֣ה בְרָעֹ֣ות נַפְשִׁ֑י וְחַיַּ֗י לִשְׁאֹ֥ול הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol ) | 3 |
For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come to Sheol. (Sheol )
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 Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand have been cut off.
שַׁ֭תַּנִי בְּבֹ֣ור תַּחְתִּיֹּ֑ות בְּ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים בִּמְצֹלֹֽות׃ | 6 |
Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
עָ֭לַי סָמְכָ֣ה חֲמָתֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־מִ֝שְׁבָּרֶ֗יךָ עִנִּ֥יתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers Thou hast afflicted. (Selah)
הִרְחַ֥קְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי שַׁתַּ֣נִי תֹועֵבֹ֣ות לָ֑מֹו כָּ֝לֻ֗א וְלֹ֣א אֵצֵֽא׃ | 8 |
Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up — I go not forth.
עֵינִ֥י דָאֲבָ֗ה מִנִּ֫י עֹ֥נִי קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־יֹ֑ום שִׁטַּ֖חְתִּי אֵלֶ֣יךָ כַפָּֽי׃ | 9 |
Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.
הֲלַמֵּתִ֥ים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּ֑לֶא אִם־רְ֝פָאִ֗ים יָק֤וּמוּ ׀ יֹוד֬וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 10 |
To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they thank Thee? (Selah)
הַיְסֻפַּ֣ר בַּקֶּ֣בֶר חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בָּאֲבַדֹּֽון׃ | 11 |
Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?
הֲיִוָּדַ֣ע בַּחֹ֣שֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶ֑ךָ וְ֝צִדְקָתְךָ֗ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה שִׁוַּ֑עְתִּי וּ֝בַבֹּ֗קֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִ֥י תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ | 13 |
And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the morning doth my prayer come before Thee.
לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּזְנַ֣ח נַפְשִׁ֑י תַּסְתִּ֖יר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 14 |
Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.
עָ֘נִ֤י אֲנִ֣י וְגֹוֵ֣עַ מִנֹּ֑עַר נָשָׂ֖אתִי אֵמֶ֣יךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ | 15 |
I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors — I pine away.
עָ֭לַי עָבְר֣וּ חֲרֹונֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝עוּתֶ֗יךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ | 16 |
Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy 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 round against me together,
הִרְחַ֣קְתָּ מִ֭מֶּנִּי אֹהֵ֣ב וָרֵ֑עַ מְֽיֻדָּעַ֥י מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ | 18 |
Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
