< תהילים 88 >
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי קֹרַח לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מָחֲלַת לְעַנּוֹת מַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵימָן הָאֶזְרָחִֽי׃ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יְשׁוּעָתִי יוֹם־צָעַקְתִּי בַלַּיְלָה נֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃ | 1 |
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי הַטֵּֽה־אָזְנְךָ לְרִנָּתִֽי׃ | 2 |
May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
כִּֽי־שָֽׂבְעָה בְרָעוֹת נַפְשִׁי וְחַיַּי לִשְׁאוֹל הִגִּֽיעוּ׃ (Sheol ) | 3 |
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol )
נֶחְשַׁבְתִּי עִם־יוֹרְדֵי בוֹר הָיִיתִי כְּגֶבֶר אֵֽין־אֱיָֽל׃ | 4 |
I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
בַּמֵּתִים חָפְשִׁי כְּמוֹ חֲלָלִים ׀ שֹׁכְבֵי קֶבֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא זְכַרְתָּם עוֹד וְהֵמָּה מִיָּדְךָ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃ | 5 |
I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
שַׁתַּנִי בְּבוֹר תַּחְתִּיּוֹת בְּמַחֲשַׁכִּים בִּמְצֹלֽוֹת׃ | 6 |
You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
עָלַי סָמְכָה חֲמָתֶךָ וְכָל־מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ עִנִּיתָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 7 |
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me.
הִרְחַקְתָּ מְיֻדָּעַי מִמֶּנִּי שַׁתַּנִי תוֹעֵבוֹת לָמוֹ כָּלֻא וְלֹא אֵצֵֽא׃ | 8 |
You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
עֵינִי דָאֲבָה מִנִּי עֹנִי קְרָאתִיךָ יְהוָה בְּכָל־יוֹם שִׁטַּחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ כַפָּֽי׃ | 9 |
My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
הֲלַמֵּתִים תַּעֲשֶׂה־פֶּלֶא אִם־רְפָאִים יָקוּמוּ ׀ יוֹדוּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ | 10 |
Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?
הַיְסֻפַּר בַּקֶּבֶר חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ בָּאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃ | 11 |
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
הֲיִוָּדַע בַּחֹשֶׁךְ פִּלְאֶךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ בְּאֶרֶץ נְשִׁיָּֽה׃ | 12 |
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
וַאֲנִי ׀ אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה שִׁוַּעְתִּי וּבַבֹּקֶר תְּֽפִלָּתִי תְקַדְּמֶֽךָּ׃ | 13 |
But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
לָמָה יְהוָה תִּזְנַח נַפְשִׁי תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי׃ | 14 |
Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
עָנִי אֲנִי וְגֹוֵעַ מִנֹּעַר נָשָׂאתִי אֵמֶיךָ אָפֽוּנָה׃ | 15 |
From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
עָלַי עָבְרוּ חֲרוֹנֶיךָ בִּעוּתֶיךָ צִמְּתוּתֻֽנִי׃ | 16 |
Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
סַבּוּנִי כַמַּיִם כָּל־הַיּוֹם הִקִּיפוּ עָלַי יָֽחַד׃ | 17 |
All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
הִרְחַקְתָּ מִמֶּנִּי אֹהֵב וָרֵעַ מְֽיֻדָּעַי מַחְשָֽׁךְ׃ | 18 |
You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
