Psalms 22 תְּהִלִּים

¹לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַל־אַיֶּ֥לֶת הַשַּׁ֗חַר מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

lamnatzeach al-ayyelet hashachar mizmor ledavid

1For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David.

²אֵלִ֣י אֵ֭לִי לָמָ֣ה עֲזַבְתָּ֑נִי רָח֥וֹק מִֽ֝ישׁוּעָתִ֗י דִּבְרֵ֥י שַׁאֲגָתִֽי׃

eli eli lama azavtani rachok mishu'ati divre sha'agati

2My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?

³אֱֽלֹהַ֗י אֶקְרָ֣א י֭וֹמָם וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֶ֑ה וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֽוּמִיָּ֥ה לִֽי׃

elohay ekra yomam velo ta'ane velayla velo-dumiyya li

3O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.

⁴וְאַתָּ֥ה קָד֑וֹשׁ י֝וֹשֵׁ֗ב תְּהִלּ֥וֹת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

ve'atta kadosh yoshev tehillot yisra'el

4Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

⁵בְּ֭ךָ בָּטְח֣וּ אֲבֹתֵ֑ינוּ בָּ֝טְח֗וּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמוֹ׃

bekha batchu avotenu batchu vattefalletemo

5In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.

⁶אֵלֶ֣יךָ זָעֲק֣וּ וְנִמְלָ֑טוּ בְּךָ֖ בָטְח֣וּ וְלֹא־בֽוֹשׁוּ׃

elekha za'aku venimlatu bekha vatchu velo-voshu

6Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.

⁷וְאָנֹכִ֣י תוֹלַ֣עַת וְלֹא־אִ֑ישׁ חֶרְפַּ֥ת אָ֝דָ֗ם וּבְז֥וּי עָֽם׃

ve'anokhi tola'at velo-ish cherpat adam uvezuy am

7But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

⁸כָּל־רֹ֭אַי יַלְעִ֣גוּ לִ֑י יַפְטִ֥ירוּ בְ֝שָׂפָ֗ה יָנִ֥יעוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃

kal-ro'ay yal'igu li yaftiru vesafa yani'u rosh

8All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:

⁹גֹּ֣ל אֶל־יְהוָ֣ה יְפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ יַ֝צִּילֵ֗הוּ כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בּֽוֹ׃

gol el-ADONAI yefalletehu yatzilehu ki chafetz bo

9'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'

¹⁰כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה גֹחִ֣י מִבָּ֑טֶן מַ֝בְטִיחִ֗י עַל־שְׁדֵ֥י אִמִּֽי׃

ki-atta gochi mibbaten mavtichi al-shede immi

10For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.

¹¹עָ֭לֶיךָ הָשְׁלַ֣כְתִּי מֵרָ֑חֶם מִבֶּ֥טֶן אִ֝מִּ֗י אֵ֣לִי אָֽתָּה׃

alekha hashlakhti merachem mibbeten immi eli atta

11Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.

¹²אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִ֭מֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָ֣ה קְרוֹבָ֑ה כִּי־אֵ֥ין עוֹזֵֽר׃

al-tirchak mimmenni ki-tzara kerova ki-en ozer

12Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

¹³סְ֭בָבוּנִי פָּרִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים אַבִּירֵ֖י בָשָׁ֣ן כִּתְּרֽוּנִי׃

sevavuni parim rabbim abbire vashan kitteruni

13Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹⁴פָּצ֣וּ עָלַ֣י פִּיהֶ֑ם אַ֝רְיֵ֗ה טֹרֵ֥ף וְשֹׁאֵֽג׃

patzu alay pihem arye toref vesho'eg

14They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁵כַּמַּ֥יִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי֮ וְהִתְפָּֽרְד֗וּ כָּֽל־עַצְמ֫וֹתָ֥י הָיָ֣ה לִ֭בִּי כַּדּוֹנָ֑ג נָ֝מֵ֗ס בְּת֣וֹךְ מֵעָֽי׃

kammayim nishpakhti vehitpardu kal-atzmotay haya libbi kaddonag names betokh me'ay

15I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.

¹⁶יָ֘בֵ֤שׁ כַּחֶ֨רֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִ֗י וּ֭לְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּ֣ק מַלְקוֹחָ֑י וְֽלַעֲפַר־מָ֥וֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵֽנִי׃

yavesh kacheres kochi uleshoni mudbak malkochay vela'afar-mavet tishpeteni

16My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.

¹⁷כִּ֥י סְבָב֗וּנִי כְּלָ֫בִ֥ים עֲדַ֣ת מְ֭רֵעִים הִקִּיפ֑וּנִי כָּ֝אֲרִ֗י יָדַ֥י וְרַגְלָֽי׃

ki sevavuni kelavim adat mere'im hikkifuni ka'ari yaday veraglay

17For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.

¹⁸אֲסַפֵּ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָ֑י הֵ֥מָּה יַ֝בִּ֗יטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִֽי׃

asapper kal-atzmotay hemma yabbitu yiru-vi

18I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.

¹⁹יְחַלְּק֣וּ בְגָדַ֣י לָהֶ֑ם וְעַל־לְ֝בוּשִׁ֗י יַפִּ֥ילוּ גוֹרָֽל׃

yechalleku vegaday lahem ve'al-levushi yappilu goral

19They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.

²⁰וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־תִּרְחָ֑ק אֱ֝יָלוּתִ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חֽוּשָׁה׃

ve'atta ADONAI al-tirchak eyaluti le'ezrati chusha

20But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.

²¹הַצִּ֣ילָה מֵחֶ֣רֶב נַפְשִׁ֑י מִיַּד־כֶּ֝֗לֶב יְחִידָתִֽי׃

hatzila mecherev nafshi miyyad-kelev yechidati

21Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.

²²ה֭וֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּ֣י אַרְיֵ֑ה וּמִקַּרְנֵ֖י רֵמִ֣ים עֲנִיתָֽנִי׃

hoshi'eni mippi arye umikkarne remim anitani

22Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.

²³אֲסַפְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְאֶחָ֑י בְּת֖וֹךְ קָהָ֣ל אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּ׃

asappera shimkha le'echay betokh kahal ahallekka

23I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.

²⁴יִרְאֵ֤י יְהוָ֨ה ׀ הַֽלְל֗וּהוּ כָּל־זֶ֣רַע יַעֲקֹ֣ב כַּבְּד֑וּהוּ וְג֥וּרוּ מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ כָּל־זֶ֥רַע יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

yir'e ADONAI halluhu kal-zera' ya'akov kabbeduhu veguru mimmennu kal-zera' yisra'el

24'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.

²⁵כִּ֤י לֹֽא־בָזָ֨ה וְלֹ֪א שִׁקַּ֡ץ עֱנ֬וּת עָנִ֗י וְלֹא־הִסְתִּ֣יר פָּנָ֣יו מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וּֽבְשַׁוְּע֖וֹ אֵלָ֣יו שָׁמֵֽעַ׃

ki lo-vaza velo shikkatz enut ani velo-histir panav mimmennu uveshavve'o elav shamea

25For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'

²⁶מֵ֥אִתְּךָ֗ תְֽהִלָּ֫תִ֥י בְּקָהָ֥ל רָ֑ב נְדָרַ֥י אֲ֝שַׁלֵּ֗ם נֶ֣גֶד יְרֵאָֽיו׃

me'ittekha tehillati bekahal rav nedaray ashallem neged yere'av

26From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.

²⁷יֹאכְל֬וּ עֲנָוִ֨ים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּ֗עוּ יְהַֽלְל֣וּ יְ֭הוָה דֹּ֣רְשָׁ֑יו יְחִ֖י לְבַבְכֶ֣ם לָעַֽד׃

yokhlu anavim veyisba'u yehallu ADONAI dorshav yechi levavkhem la'ad

27Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!

²⁸יִזְכְּר֤וּ ׀ וְיָשֻׁ֣בוּ אֶל־יְ֭הוָה כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָ֑רֶץ וְיִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לְ֝פָנֶ֗יךָ כָּֽל־מִשְׁפְּח֥וֹת גּוֹיִֽם׃

yizkeru veyashuvu el-ADONAI kal-afse-aretz veyishtachavu lefanekha kal-mishpechot goyim

28All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.

²⁹כִּ֣י לַ֭יהוָה הַמְּלוּכָ֑ה וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בַּגּוֹיִֽם׃

ki laADONAI hammelukha umoshel baggoyim

29For the kingdom is the LORD’S; and He is the ruler over the nations.

³⁰אָכְל֬וּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּ֨וּ ׀ כָּֽל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶ֗רֶץ לְפָנָ֣יו יִ֭כְרְעוּ כָּל־יוֹרְדֵ֣י עָפָ֑ר וְ֝נַפְשׁ֗וֹ לֹ֣א חִיָּֽה׃

akhlu vayyishtachavu kal-dishne-eretz lefanav yikhre'u kal-yorde afar venafsho lo chiyya

30All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.

³¹זֶ֥רַע יַֽעַבְדֶ֑נּוּ יְסֻפַּ֖ר לַֽאדֹנָ֣י לַדּֽוֹר׃

zera' ya'avdennu yesuppar ladonay laddor

31A seed shall serve him; It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.

³²יָ֭בֹאוּ וְיַגִּ֣ידוּ צִדְקָת֑וֹ לְעַ֥ם נ֝וֹלָ֗ד כִּ֣י עָשָֽׂה׃

yavou veyaggidu tzidkato le'am nolad ki asa

32They shall come and shall declare His righteousness Unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.
