Psalms 79 תְּהִלִּים

¹מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֱֽלֹהִ֡ים בָּ֤אוּ גוֹיִ֨ם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶ֗ךָ טִ֭מְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם לְעִיִּֽים׃

mizmor le'asaf elohim bau goyim benachalatekha timmeu et-hekhal kadshekha samu et-yerushalam le'iyyim

1A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; They have defiled Thy holy temple; They have made Jerusalem into heaps.

²נָֽתְנ֡וּ אֶת־נִבְלַ֬ת עֲבָדֶ֗יךָ מַ֭אֲכָל לְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּשַׂ֥ר חֲ֝סִידֶ֗יךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־אָֽרֶץ׃

natnu et-nivlat avadekha ma'akhal le'of hashamayim besar chasidekha lechayto-aretz

2They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, The flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

³שָׁפְכ֬וּ דָמָ֨ם ׀ כַּמַּ֗יִם סְֽבִ֘יב֤וֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם וְאֵ֣ין קוֹבֵֽר׃

shafkhu damam kammayim sevivot yerushalam ve'en kover

3They have shed their blood like water Round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.

⁴הָיִ֣ינוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּ׃

hayinu cherpa lishkhenenu la'ag vakeles lisvivotenu

4We are become a taunt to our neighbours, A scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵עַד־מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תֶּאֱנַ֣ף לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֥ר כְּמוֹ־אֵ֝֗שׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃

ad-ma ADONAI te'enaf lanetzach tiv'ar kemo-esh kin'atekha

5How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶שְׁפֹ֤ךְ חֲמָתְךָ֨ אֶֽל־הַגּוֹיִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֪ר לֹא־יְדָ֫ע֥וּךָ וְעַ֥ל מַמְלָכ֑וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃

shefokh chamatkha el-haggoyim asher lo-yeda'ukha ve'al mamlakhot asher beshimkha lo karau

6Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.

⁷כִּ֭י אָכַ֣ל אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְֽאֶת־נָוֵ֥הוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃

ki akhal et-ya'akov ve'et-navehu heshammu

7For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.

⁸אַֽל־תִּזְכָּר־לָנוּ֮ עֲוֺנֹ֪ת רִאשֹׁ֫נִ֥ים מַ֭הֵר יְקַדְּמ֣וּנוּ רַחֲמֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י דַלּ֣וֹנוּ מְאֹֽד׃

al-tizkar-lanu avonot rishonim maher yekaddemunu rachamekha ki dallonu me'od

8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; Let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; For we are brought very low.

⁹עָזְרֵ֤נוּ ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׁעֵ֗נוּ עַל־דְּבַ֥ר כְּבֽוֹד־שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וְהַצִּילֵ֥נוּ וְכַפֵּ֥ר עַל־חַ֝טֹּאתֵ֗ינוּ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

azrenu elohe yish'enu al-devar kevod-shemekha vehatzilenu vekhapper al-chattotenu lema'an shemekha

9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.

¹⁰לָ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אַיֵּ֪ה אֱֽלֹהֵ֫יהֶ֥ם יִוָּדַ֣ע בגיים [בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם] לְעֵינֵ֑ינוּ נִ֝קְמַ֗ת דַּֽם־עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃

lamma yomru haggoyim ayye elohehem yivvada' baggoyim le'enenu nikmat dam-avadekha hashafukh

10Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?' Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed Be made known among the nations in our sight. .

¹¹תָּ֤ב֣וֹא לְפָנֶיךָ֮ אֶנְקַ֪ת אָ֫סִ֥יר כְּגֹ֥דֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ֑ ה֝וֹתֵ֗ר בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃

tavo lefanekha enkat asir kegodel zero'akha hoter bene temuta

11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; According to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;

¹²וְהָ֘שֵׁ֤ב לִשְׁכֵנֵ֣ינוּ שִׁ֭בְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָ֑ם חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

vehashev lishkhenenu shiv'atayim el-chekam cherpatam asher cherfukha adonay

12And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, O Lord.

¹³וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַמְּךָ֨ ׀ וְצֹ֥אן מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ נ֤וֹדֶ֥ה לְּךָ֗ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֑ר נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

va'anachnu ammekha vetzon mar'itekha node lekha le'olam ledor vador nesapper tehillatekha

13So we that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture Will give Thee thanks for ever; We will tell of Thy praise to all generations.
