< תהילים 102 >
תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִֽי־יַעֲטֹף וְלִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֽוֹ׃ יְהֹוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֽוֹא׃ | 1 |
A prayer of the afflicted when he is faint and pours out his lament before Yahweh. Hear my prayer, Yahweh; hear my cry to you.
אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיוֹם צַר ־ לִי הַטֵּֽה־אֵלַי אׇזְנֶךָ בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִי׃ | 2 |
Do not hide your face from me in my time of trouble. Listen to me. When I call out to you, answer me quickly.
כִּֽי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָי וְעַצְמוֹתַי כְּמוֹקֵד נִחָֽרוּ׃ | 3 |
For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like fire.
הוּכָּה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי כִּֽי־שָׁכַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִֽי׃ | 4 |
My heart is crushed, and I am like grass that has withered. I forget to eat any food.
מִקּוֹל אַנְחָתִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃ | 5 |
With my continual groaning, I have become very thin.
דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכוֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת׃ | 6 |
I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl in the ruins.
שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶה כְּצִפּוֹר בּוֹדֵד עַל־גָּֽג׃ | 7 |
I lie awake like a solitary bird, alone on the housetop.
כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חֵרְפוּנִי אוֹיְבָי מְהוֹלָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃ | 8 |
My enemies taunt me all day long; those who mock me use my name in curses.
כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּי וְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָֽכְתִּי׃ | 9 |
I eat ashes like bread and mix my drink with tears.
מִפְּנֵֽי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃ | 10 |
Because of your raging anger, you have lifted me up to throw me down.
יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּי וַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃ | 11 |
My days are like a shadow that fades, and I have withered like grass.
וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם תֵּשֵׁב וְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃ | 12 |
But you, Yahweh, live forever, and your fame is for all generations.
אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיּוֹן כִּי־עֵת לְחֶֽנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מוֹעֵֽד׃ | 13 |
You will rise up and have mercy on Zion. Now is the time to have mercy upon her; the appointed time has come.
כִּי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָ וְֽאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃ | 14 |
For your servants hold her stones dear and feel compassion for the dust of her ruins.
וְיִֽירְאוּ גוֹיִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהֹוָה וְֽכׇל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃ | 15 |
The nations will respect your name, Yahweh, and all the kings of the earth will honor your glory.
כִּֽי־בָנָה יְהֹוָה צִיּוֹן נִרְאָה בִּכְבוֹדֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
Yahweh will rebuild Zion and will appear in his glory.
פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃ | 17 |
At that time, he will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not reject their prayer.
תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹן וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ׃ | 18 |
This will be written for future generations, and a people not yet born will praise Yahweh.
כִּֽי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרוֹם קׇדְשׁוֹ יְהֹוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃ | 19 |
For he has looked down from the holy heights; from heaven Yahweh has viewed the earth,
לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר לְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽה׃ | 20 |
to hear the groaning of the prisoners, to release those who were condemned to death.
לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן שֵׁם יְהֹוָה וּתְהִלָּתוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 21 |
Then men will proclaim the name of Yahweh in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem
בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּו וּמַמְלָכוֹת לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 22 |
when the peoples and kingdoms gather together to serve Yahweh.
עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ (כחו) [כֹּחִי] קִצַּר יָמָֽי׃ | 23 |
He has taken away my strength in the middle of life. He has shortened my days.
אֹמַר אֵלִי אַֽל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָי בְּדוֹר דּוֹרִים שְׁנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ | 24 |
I said, “My God, do not take me away in the middle of life; you are here throughout all generations.
לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃ | 25 |
In ancient times you set the earth in place; the heavens are the work of your hands.
הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹד וְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ כַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְֽיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃ | 26 |
They will perish, but you will remain; they will all grow old like a garment; like clothing, you will remove them, and they will disappear.
וְאַתָּה־הוּא וּשְׁנוֹתֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּֽמּוּ׃ | 27 |
But you are the same, and your years will have no end.
בְּנֵֽי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכּוֹנוּ וְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכּֽוֹן׃ | 28 |
The children of your servants will live on, and their descendants will live in your presence.”
