STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִי־יַעֲטֹף וְלִפְנֵי יְהוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֹו	1 [Prayer of someone afflicted, who in misfortune pours out sorrows before Yahweh] Yahweh, hear myprayer, let my cry for help reach you.
2 יְהוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֹוא	2 Do not turn away your face from me when I am in trouble; bend down and listen to me, when I cal ,be quick to answer me!
3 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיֹום צַר לִי הַטֵּה־אֵלַי אָזְנֶךָ בְּיֹום אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי	3 For my days are vanishing like smoke, my bones burning like an oven;
4 כִּי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָי וְעַצְמֹותַי כְּמֹו־קֵד נִחָרוּ	4 like grass struck by blight, my heart is withering, I forget to eat my meals.
5 הוּכָּה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי כִּישָׁ־כַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִי	5 From the effort of voicing my groans my bones stick out through my skin.
6 מִקֹּול אַנְחָתִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִי	6 I am like a desert-owl in the wastes, a screech-owl among ruins,
7 דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכֹוס חֳרָבֹות	7 I keep vigil and moan like a lone bird on a roof.
8 שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶה כְּצִפֹּור בֹּודֵד עַל־גָּג	8 Al day long my enemies taunt me, those who once praised me now use me as a curse.
9 כָּל־הַיֹּום חֵרְפוּנִי אֹויְבָי מְהֹולָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּעוּ	9 Ashes are the food that I eat, my drink is mingled with tears,
10 כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּי וְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָכְתִּי	10 because of your fury and anger, since you have raised me up only to cast me away;
11 מִפְּנֵי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי	11 my days are like a fading shadow, I am withering up like grass.
12 יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּי וַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָשׁ	12 But you, Yahweh, are enthroned for ever, each generation in turn remembers you.
13 וְאַתָּה יְהוָה לְעֹולָם תֵּשֵׁב וְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹר	13 Rise up, take pity on Zion! the time has come to have mercy on her, the moment has come;
14 אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיֹּון כִּי־עֵת לְחֶנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מֹועֵד	14 for your servants love her very stones, are moved to pity by her dust.
15 כִּי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָ וְאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵנוּ	15 Then wil the nations revere the name of Yahweh, and al the kings of the earth your glory;
16 וְיִירְאוּ גֹויִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה וְכָל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבֹודֶךָ	16 when Yahweh builds Zion anew, he will be seen in his glory;
17 כִּי־בָנָה יְהוָה צִיֹּון נִרְאָה בִּכְבֹודֹו	17 he wil turn to hear the prayer of the destitute, and wil not treat their prayer with scorn.
18 פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָם	18 This shall be put on record for a future generation, and a people yet to be born shal praise God:
19 תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדֹור אַחֲרֹון וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָהּ	19 Yahweh has leaned down from the heights of his sanctuary, has looked down from heaven to earth,
20 כִּי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרֹום קָדְשֹׁו יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּיט	20 to listen to the sighing of the captive, and set free those condemned to death,
21 לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר לְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה	21 to proclaim the name of Yahweh in Zion, his praise in Jerusalem;
22 לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיֹּון שֵׁם יְהוָה וּתְהִלָּתֹו בִּירוּשָׁלִָם	22 nations wil gather together, and kingdoms to worship Yahweh.
23 בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּו וּמַמְלָכֹות לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה	23 In my journeying my strength has failed on the way;
24 עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ [כֹּחֹו כ] (כֹּחִי ק) קִצַּר יָמָי	24 let me know the short time I have left. Do not take me away before half my days are done, for youryears run on from age to age.
25 אֹמַר אֵלִי אַל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָי בְּדֹור דֹּורִים שְׁנֹותֶיךָ	25 Long ago you laid earth's foundations, the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָיִם	26 They pass away but you remain; they al wear out like a garment, like outworn clothes you changethem;
27 הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹד וְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ כַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְיַחֲלֹפוּ	27 but you never alter, and your years never end.
28 וְאַתָּה־הוּא וּשְׁנֹותֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּמּוּ	28 The children of those who serve you wil dwel secure, and their descendants live on in yourpresence.
29 בְּנֵי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכֹּונוּ וְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכֹּון
