| א לַמְנַצֵּחַ, עַל-אַיֶּלֶת הַשַּׁחַר; מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד. |
1 For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. |
| ב אֵלִי אֵלִי, לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי; רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי, דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי. |
2 My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry? |
| ג אֱלֹהַי–אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם, וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה; וְלַיְלָה, וְלֹא-דֻמִיָּה לִי. |
3 O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me. |
| ד וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ– יוֹשֵׁב, תְּהִלּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל. |
4 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel. |
| ה בְּךָ, בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ; בָּטְחוּ, וַתְּפַלְּטֵמוֹ. |
5 In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them. |
| ו אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ; בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא-בוֹשׁוּ. |
6 Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed. |
| ז וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא-אִישׁ; חֶרְפַּת אָדָם, וּבְזוּי עָם. |
7 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. |
| ח כָּל-רֹאַי, יַלְעִגוּ לִי; יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה, יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ. |
8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head: |
| ט גֹּל אֶל-יְהוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ; יַצִּילֵהוּ, כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ. |
9 ‘Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.’ |
| י כִּי-אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן; מַבְטִיחִי, עַל-שְׁדֵי אִמִּי. |
10 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts. |
| יא עָלֶיךָ, הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם; מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי, אֵלִי אָתָּה. |
11 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother’s womb. |
| יב אַל-תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי, כִּי-צָרָה קְרוֹבָה: כִּי-אֵין עוֹזֵר. |
12 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. |
| יג סְבָבוּנִי, פָּרִים רַבִּים; אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי. |
13 Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. |
| יד פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם; אַרְיֵה, טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג. |
14 They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion. |
טו כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי– וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ, כָּל-עַצְמוֹתָי:
הָיָה לִבִּי, כַּדּוֹנָג; נָמֵס, בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי. |
15 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; {N}
my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts. |
| טז יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ, כֹּחִי, וּלְשׁוֹנִי, מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי; וְלַעֲפַר-מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי. |
16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death. |
| יז כִּי סְבָבוּנִי, כְּלָבִים: עֲדַת מְרֵעִים, הִקִּיפוּנִי; כָּאֲרִי, יָדַי וְרַגְלָי. |
17 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet. |
| יח אֲסַפֵּר כָּל-עַצְמוֹתָי; הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ, יִרְאוּ-בִי. |
18 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me. |
| יט יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם; וְעַל-לְבוּשִׁי, יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל. |
19 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots. |
| כ וְאַתָּה יְהוָה, אַל-תִּרְחָק; אֱיָלוּתִי, לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה. |
20 But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me. |
| כא הַצִּילָה מֵחֶרֶב נַפְשִׁי; מִיַּד-כֶּלֶב, יְחִידָתִי. |
21 Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog. |
| כב הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי, מִפִּי אַרְיֵה; וּמִקַּרְנֵי רֵמִים עֲנִיתָנִי. |
22 Save me from the lion’s mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me. |
| כג אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי; בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ. |
23 I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee. |
כד יִרְאֵי יְהוָה, הַלְלוּהוּ– כָּל-זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ;
וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ, כָּל-זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל. |
24 ‘Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; {N}
and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel. |
כה כִּי לֹא-בָזָה וְלֹא שִׁקַּץ, עֱנוּת עָנִי– וְלֹא-הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ;
וּבְשַׁוְּעוֹ אֵלָיו שָׁמֵעַ. |
25 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; {N}
but when he cried unto Him, He heard.’ |
| כו מֵאִתְּךָ, תְּהִלָּתִי: בְּקָהָל רָב–נְדָרַי אֲשַׁלֵּם, נֶגֶד יְרֵאָיו. |
26 From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him. |
כז יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים, וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ– יְהַלְלוּ יְהוָה, דֹּרְשָׁיו;
יְחִי לְבַבְכֶם לָעַד. |
27 Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; {N}
may your heart be quickened for ever! |
כח יִזְכְּרוּ, וְיָשֻׁבוּ אֶל-יְהוָה– כָּל-אַפְסֵי-אָרֶץ;
וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶיךָ, כָּל-מִשְׁפְּחוֹת גּוֹיִם. |
28 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; {N}
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. |
| כט כִּי לַיהוָה, הַמְּלוּכָה; וּמֹשֵׁל, בַּגּוֹיִם. |
29 For the kingdom is the LORD’S; and He is the ruler over the nations. |
ל אָכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ, כָּל-דִּשְׁנֵי-אֶרֶץ– לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ, כָּל-יוֹרְדֵי עָפָר;
וְנַפְשׁוֹ, לֹא חִיָּה. |
30 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, {N}
even he that cannot keep his soul alive. |
| לא זֶרַע יַעַבְדֶנּוּ; יְסֻפַּר לַאדֹנָי לַדּוֹר. |
31 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation. |
| לב יָבֹאוּ, וְיַגִּידוּ צִדְקָתוֹ: לְעַם נוֹלָד, כִּי עָשָׂה. |
32 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it. {P} |
