תהילים 102

1 תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִֽי־יַעֲטֹף וְלִפְנֵי יְהוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֽוֹ׃ יְהוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֽוֹא׃

HEAR my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee.

2 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיוֹם צַר לִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַי אָזְנֶךָ בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִי׃

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

3 כִּֽי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָי וְעַצְמוֹתַי כְּמוֹ־קֵד נִחָֽרוּ׃

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

4 הוּכָּֽה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי כִּֽי־שָׁכַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִֽי׃

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

5 מִקּוֹל אַנְחָתִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

6 דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכוֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת׃

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

7 שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶֽהְיֶה כְּצִפּוֹר בּוֹדֵד עַל־גָּֽג׃

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

8 כָּל־הַיּוֹם חֵרְפוּנִי אוֹיְבָי מְהוֹלָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

9 כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּי וְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָֽכְתִּי׃

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

10 מִפְּנֵֽי־זַֽעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

11 יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּי וַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃

My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

12 וְאַתָּה יְהוָה לְעוֹלָם תֵּשֵׁב וְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃

But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

13 אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיּוֹן כִּי־עֵת לְחֶֽנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מוֹעֵֽד׃

Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

14 כִּֽי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָ וְֽאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

15 וְיִֽירְאוּ גוֹיִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה וְֽכָל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

16 כִּֽי־בָנָה יְהוָה צִיּוֹן נִרְאָה בִּכְבוֹדֽוֹ׃

When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

17 פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹֽא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

18 תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹן וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ׃

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord.

19 כִּֽי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth;

20 לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר לְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽה׃

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

21 לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן שֵׁם יְהוָה וּתְהִלָּתוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃

To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

22 בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּו וּמַמְלָכוֹת לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

23 עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ כחו כֹּחִי קִצַּר יָמָֽי׃

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

24 אֹמַר אֵלִי אַֽל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָי בְּדוֹר דּוֹרִים שְׁנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.

25 לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

26 הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹד וְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ כַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְֽיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

27 וְאַתָּה־הוּא וּשְׁנוֹתֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּֽמּוּ׃

But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

28 בְּנֵֽי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכּוֹנוּ וְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכּֽוֹן׃

The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
