1A prayer of one who is afflicted, when he grows faint and pours out his lament before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry for help come before You. 1תְּ֭פִלָּה לְעָנִ֣י כִֽי־ יַעֲטֹ֑ף וְלִפְנֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ שִׂיחֽוֹ׃ יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י אֵלֶ֥יךָ תָבֽוֹא׃
2Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call. 2אַל־ תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי֮ בְּי֪וֹם צַ֫ר לִ֥י הַטֵּֽה־ אֵלַ֥י אָזְנֶ֑ךָ בְּי֥וֹם אֶ֝קְרָ֗א מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי׃
3For my days vanish like smoke, and my bones burn like glowing embers. 3כִּֽי־ כָל֣וּ בְעָשָׁ֣ן יָמָ֑י וְ֝עַצְמוֹתַ֗י כְּמוֹ־ קֵ֥ד נִחָֽרוּ׃
4My heart is afflicted, and withered like grass; I even forget to eat my bread. 4הוּכָּֽה־ כָ֭עֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַ֣שׁ לִבִּ֑י כִּֽי־ שָׁ֝כַ֗חְתִּי מֵאֲכֹ֥ל לַחְמִֽי׃
5Through my loud groaning, my flesh clings to my bones. 5מִקּ֥וֹל אַנְחָתִ֑י דָּבְקָ֥ה עַ֝צְמִ֗י לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃
6I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins. 6דָּ֭מִיתִי לִקְאַ֣ת מִדְבָּ֑ר הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּכ֣וֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת׃
7I lie awake; I am like a lone bird on a housetop. 7שָׁקַ֥דְתִּי וָאֶֽהְיֶ֑ה כְּ֝צִפּ֗וֹר בּוֹדֵ֥ד עַל־ גָּֽג׃
8All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule and curse me. 8כָּל־ הַ֭יּוֹם חֵרְפ֣וּנִי אוֹיְבָ֑י מְ֝הוֹלָלַ֗י בִּ֣י נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃
9For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears, 9כִּי־ אֵ֭פֶר כַּלֶּ֣חֶם אָכָ֑לְתִּי וְ֝שִׁקֻּוַ֗י בִּבְכִ֥י מָסָֽכְתִּי׃
10because of Your indignation and wrath; for You have picked me up and cast me aside. 10מִפְּנֵֽי־ זַֽעַמְךָ֥ וְקִצְפֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י נְ֝שָׂאתַ֗נִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃
11My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass. 11יָ֭מַי כְּצֵ֣ל נָט֑וּי וַ֝אֲנִ֗י כָּעֵ֥שֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃
12But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations. 12וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לְעוֹלָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֑ב וְ֝זִכְרְךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר׃
13You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor— the appointed time has come. 13אַתָּ֣ה תָ֭קוּם תְּרַחֵ֣ם צִיּ֑וֹן כִּי־ עֵ֥ת לְ֝חֶֽנְנָ֗הּ כִּי־ בָ֥א מוֹעֵֽד׃
14For Your servants delight in her stones and take pity on her dust. 14כִּֽי־ רָצ֣וּ עֲ֭בָדֶיךָ אֶת־ אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְֽאֶת־ עֲפָרָ֥הּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃
15So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth [will fear] Your glory, 15וְיִֽירְא֣וּ ג֭וֹיִם אֶת־ שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וְֽכָל־ מַלְכֵ֥י הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ אֶת־ כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃
16for the LORD will rebuild Zion; He has appeared in His glory. 16כִּֽי־ בָנָ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה צִיּ֑וֹן נִ֝רְאָ֗ה בִּכְבוֹדֽוֹ׃
17He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer. 17פָּ֭נָה אֶל־ תְּפִלַּ֣ת הָעַרְעָ֑ר וְלֹֽא־ בָ֝זָ֗ה אֶת־ תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃
18Let this be written for the generation to come, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD. 18תִּכָּ֣תֶב זֹ֭את לְד֣וֹר אַחֲר֑וֹן וְעַ֥ם נִ֝בְרָ֗א יְהַלֶּל־ יָֽהּ׃
19For He looked down from the heights of His sanctuary; the LORD gazed out from heaven to earth, 19כִּֽי־ הִ֭שְׁקִיף מִמְּר֣וֹם קָדְשׁ֑וֹ יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִשָּׁמַ֤יִם ׀ אֶל־ אֶ֬רֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃
20to hear a prisoner’s groaning, to release those condemned to death, 20לִ֭שְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַ֣ת אָסִ֑יר לְ֝פַתֵּ֗חַ בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃
21that they may proclaim the name of the LORD in Zion and His praise in Jerusalem, 21לְסַפֵּ֣ר בְּ֭צִיּוֹן שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝תְהִלָּת֗וֹ בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
22when peoples and kingdoms assemble to serve the LORD. 22בְּהִקָּבֵ֣ץ עַמִּ֣ים יַחְדָּ֑ו וּ֝מַמְלָכ֗וֹת לַעֲבֹ֥ד אֶת־ יְהוָֽה׃
23He has broken my strength on the way; He has shortened my days. 23עִנָּ֖ה בַדֶּ֥רֶךְ כחו [כֹּחִ֗י] (קִצַּ֥ר) יָמָֽי׃
24I say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years [go on] through all generations. 24אֹמַ֗ר אֵלִ֗י אַֽל־ תַּ֭עֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִ֣י יָמָ֑י בְּד֖וֹר דּוֹרִ֣ים שְׁנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
25In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. 25לְ֭פָנִים הָאָ֣רֶץ יָסַ֑דְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃
26They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on. 26הֵ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תַ֫עֲמֹ֥ד וְ֭כֻלָּם כַּבֶּ֣גֶד יִבְל֑וּ כַּלְּב֖וּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵ֣ם וְֽיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃
27But You remain the same, and Your years will never end. 27וְאַתָּה־ ה֑וּא וּ֝שְׁנוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִתָּֽמּוּ׃
28The children of Your servants will dwell securely, and their descendants will be established before You.” 28בְּנֵֽי־ עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ יִשְׁכּ֑וֹנוּ וְ֝זַרְעָ֗ם לְפָנֶ֥יךָ יִכּֽוֹן׃
