< תְהִלִּים 74 >
מַשְׂכִּ֗יל לְאָ֫סָ֥ף לָמָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים זָנַ֣חְתָּ לָנֶ֑צַח יֶעְשַׁ֥ן אַ֝פְּךָ֗ בְּצֹ֣אן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָ׃ | 1 |
O God, why have you cast us off for ever? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
זְכֹ֤ר עֲדָתְךָ֨ ׀ קָ֘נִ֤יתָ קֶּ֗דֶם גָּ֭אַלְתָּ שֵׁ֣בֶט נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ הַר־צִ֝יֹּ֗ון זֶ֤ה ׀ שָׁכַ֬נְתָּ בֹּֽו׃ | 2 |
Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelt.
הָרִ֣ימָה פְ֭עָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁאֹ֣ות נֶ֑צַח כָּל־הֵרַ֖ע אֹויֵ֣ב בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃ | 3 |
Lift up your feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
שָׁאֲג֣וּ צֹ֭רְרֶיךָ בְּקֶ֣רֶב מֹועֲדֶ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֹותֹתָ֣ם אֹתֹֽות׃ | 4 |
your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
יִ֭וָּדַע כְּמֵבִ֣יא לְמָ֑עְלָה בִּֽסֲבָךְ־עֵ֝֗ץ קַרְדֻּמֹּֽות׃ | 5 |
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
וְעֵת (וְ֭עַתָּה) פִּתּוּחֶ֣יהָ יָּ֑חַד בְּכַשִּׁ֥יל וְ֝כֵֽילַפֹּ֗ת יַהֲלֹמֽוּן׃ | 6 |
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
שִׁלְח֣וּ בָ֭אֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁ֑ךָ לָ֝אָ֗רֶץ חִלְּל֥וּ מִֽשְׁכַּן־שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 7 |
They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name to the ground.
אָמְר֣וּ בְ֭לִבָּם נִינָ֣ם יָ֑חַד שָׂרְפ֖וּ כָל־מֹועֲדֵי־אֵ֣ל בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
אֹֽותֹתֵ֗ינוּ לֹ֥א רָ֫אִ֥ינוּ אֵֽין־עֹ֥וד נָבִ֑יא וְלֹֽא־אִ֝תָּ֗נוּ יֹדֵ֥עַ עַד־מָֽה׃ | 9 |
We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
עַד־מָתַ֣י אֱ֭לֹהִים יְחָ֣רֶף צָ֑ר יְנָ֘אֵ֤ץ אֹויֵ֖ב שִׁמְךָ֣ לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 10 |
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme your name for ever?
לָ֤מָּה תָשִׁ֣יב יָ֭דְךָ וִֽימִינֶ֑ךָ מִקֶּ֖רֶב חֹוקְךָ (חֽ͏ֵיקְךָ֣) כַלֵּֽה׃ | 11 |
Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand? pluck it out of your bosom.
וֵ֭אלֹהִים מַלְכִּ֣י מִקֶּ֑דֶם פֹּעֵ֥ל יְ֝שׁוּעֹ֗ות בְּקֶ֣רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 12 |
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
אַתָּ֤ה פֹורַ֣רְתָּ בְעָזְּךָ֣ יָ֑ם שִׁבַּ֖רְתָּ רָאשֵׁ֥י תַ֝נִּינִ֗ים עַל־הַמָּֽיִם׃ | 13 |
You did divide the sea by your strength: you brake the heads of the dragons in the waters.
אַתָּ֣ה רִ֭צַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁ֣י לִוְיָתָ֑ן תִּתְּנֶ֥נּוּ מַ֝אֲכָ֗ל לְעָ֣ם לְצִיִּֽים׃ | 14 |
You brake the heads of leviathan (sea serpent) in pieces, and gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
אַתָּ֣ה בָ֭קַעְתָּ מַעְיָ֣ן וָנָ֑חַל אַתָּ֥ה הֹ֝ובַ֗שְׁתָּ נַהֲרֹ֥ות אֵיתָֽן׃ | 15 |
You did cleave the fountain and the flood: you dried up mighty rivers.
לְךָ֣ יֹ֭ום אַף־לְךָ֥ לָ֑יְלָה אַתָּ֥ה הֲ֝כִינֹ֗ותָ מָאֹ֥ור וָשָֽׁמֶשׁ׃ | 16 |
The day is yours, the night also is yours: you have prepared the light and the sun.
אַתָּ֣ה הִ֭צַּבְתָּ כָּל־גְּבוּלֹ֣ות אָ֑רֶץ קַ֥יִץ וָ֝חֹ֗רֶף אַתָּ֥ה יְצַרְתָּם׃ | 17 |
You have set all the borders of the earth: you have made summer and winter.
זְכָר־זֹ֗את אֹ֭ויֵב חֵרֵ֣ף ׀ יְהוָ֑ה וְעַ֥ם נָ֝בָ֗ל נִֽאֲצ֥וּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 18 |
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed your name.
אַל־תִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭חַיַּת נֶ֣פֶשׁ תֹּורֶ֑ךָ חַיַּ֥ת עֲ֝נִיֶּ֗יךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 19 |
O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor for ever.
הַבֵּ֥ט לַבְּרִ֑ית כִּ֥י מָלְא֥וּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי־אֶ֝֗רֶץ נְאֹ֣ות חָמָֽס׃ | 20 |
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
אַל־יָשֹׁ֣ב דַּ֣ךְ נִכְלָ֑ם עָנִ֥י וְ֝אֶבְיֹ֗ון יְֽהַלְל֥וּ שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | 21 |
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.
קוּמָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִיבָ֣ה רִיבֶ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר חֶרְפָּתְךָ֥ מִנִּי־נָ֝בָ֗ל כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃ | 22 |
Arise, O God, plead your own cause: remember how the foolish man reproaches you daily.
אַל־תִּ֭שְׁכַּח קֹ֣ול צֹרְרֶ֑יךָ שְׁאֹ֥ון קָ֝מֶ֗יךָ עֹלֶ֥ה תָמִֽיד׃ | 23 |
Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.
