< תהילים 38 >
מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ יְֽהוָה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
“A psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.” O LORD! rebuke me not in thy wrath, Nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure!
כִּֽי־חִצֶּיךָ נִחֲתוּ בִי וַתִּנְחַת עָלַי יָדֶֽךָ׃ | 2 |
For thine arrows have deeply pierced me, And thy hand hath been heavy upon me.
אֵין־מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵי זַעְמֶךָ אֵין־שָׁלוֹם בַּעֲצָמַי מִפְּנֵי חַטָּאתִֽי׃ | 3 |
There is no soundness in my flesh, because of thine anger; Nor rest in my bones, because of my sin.
כִּי עֲוֺנֹתַי עָבְרוּ רֹאשִׁי כְּמַשָּׂא כָבֵד יִכְבְּדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 4 |
For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden, they are more than I can bear.
הִבְאִישׁוּ נָמַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָי מִפְּנֵי אִוַּלְתִּֽי׃ | 5 |
My wounds putrefy and are loathsome on account of my folly.
נַעֲוֵיתִי שַׁחֹתִי עַד־מְאֹד כָּל־הַיּוֹם קֹדֵר הִלָּֽכְתִּי׃ | 6 |
I am bent; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
כִּֽי־כְסָלַי מָלְאוּ נִקְלֶה וְאֵין מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִֽי׃ | 7 |
For my loins are full of burning heat, And there is no soundness in my flesh.
נְפוּגוֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּיתִי עַד־מְאֹד שָׁאַגְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַת לִבִּֽי׃ | 8 |
I am weakened and bruised exceedingly; I roar by reason of the disquietude of my heart.
אֲֽדנָי נֶגְדְּךָ כָל־תַּאֲוָתִי וְאַנְחָתִי מִמְּךָ לֹא־נִסְתָּֽרָה׃ | 9 |
O Lord! thou knowest all my desire, And my groaning is not hidden from thee!
לִבִּי סְחַרְחַר עֲזָבַנִי כֹחִי וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַי גַּם־הֵם אֵין אִתִּֽי׃ | 10 |
My heart panteth; my strength faileth me; The very light of my eyes is gone from me.
אֹֽהֲבַי ׀ וְרֵעַי מִנֶּגֶד נִגְעִי יַעֲמֹדוּ וּקְרוֹבַי מֵרָחֹק עָמָֽדוּ׃ | 11 |
My friends and acquaintance keep aloof from my woe, And my kinsmen stand afar off:
וַיְנַקְשׁוּ ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי וְדֹרְשֵׁי רָעָתִי דִּבְּרוּ הַוּוֹת וּמִרְמוֹת כָּל־הַיּוֹם יֶהְגּֽוּ׃ | 12 |
While they who seek my life lay snares for me; They who seek my hurt threaten destruction, And meditate deceit all the day long.
וַאֲנִי כְחֵרֵשׁ לֹא אֶשְׁמָע וּכְאִלֵּם לֹא יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיו׃ | 13 |
But I, like a deaf man, hear not; And, like a dumb man, open not my mouth.
וָאֱהִי כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־שֹׁמֵעַ וְאֵין בְּפִיו תּוֹכָחֽוֹת׃ | 14 |
I am like one who heareth nothing, And in whose mouth is no reply.
כִּֽי־לְךָ יְהוָה הוֹחָלְתִּי אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהָֽי׃ | 15 |
For in thee, O LORD! do I put my trust; Thou wilt hear, O Lord, my God!
כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִי בְּמוֹט רַגְלִי עָלַי הִגְדִּֽילוּ׃ | 16 |
For I have prayed, “Let them not rejoice over me; Let them not exult at the slipping of my feet!”
כִּֽי־אֲנִי לְצֶלַע נָכוֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽיד׃ | 17 |
For I am ready to fall, And my pain doth never leave me;
כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִי אַגִּיד אֶדְאַג מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃ | 18 |
For I confess my iniquity, And am troubled on account of my sin.
וְֽאֹיְבַי חַיִּים עָצֵמוּ וְרַבּוּ שֹׂנְאַי שָֽׁקֶר׃ | 19 |
But my enemies flourish and are strong; They who hate me without cause are multiplied.
וּמְשַׁלְּמֵי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה יִשְׂטְנוּנִי תַּחַת רדופי־רָֽדְפִי־טֽוֹב׃ | 20 |
They who repay good with evil are my enemies, Because I follow that which is good.
אַל־תַּֽעַזְבֵנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 21 |
Forsake me not, O LORD! O my God! be not far from me!
חוּשָׁה לְעֶזְרָתִי אֲדֹנָי תְּשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ | 22 |
Make hast to mine aid, O Lord, my salvation!
