Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִֽי־יַעֲטֹףוְלִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֽוֹ׃	1 The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
2 יְהֹוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִיוְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֽוֹא׃	2 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
3 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּיבְּיוֹם צַר לִיהַטֵּֽה־אֵלַי אׇזְנֶךָבְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵֽנִי׃	3 Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
4 כִּֽי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָיוְעַצְמוֹתַי כְּמוֹקֵד נִחָֽרוּ׃	4 For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
5 הוּכָּה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּיכִּֽי־שָׁכַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִֽי׃	5 I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
6 מִקּוֹל אַנְחָתִידָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִֽי׃	6 Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
7 דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּרהָיִיתִי כְּכוֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת׃	7 I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
8 שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶהכְּצִפּוֹר בּוֹדֵד עַל־גָּֽג׃	8 I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
9 כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חֵרְפוּנִי אוֹיְבָימְהוֹלָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ׃	9 All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
10 כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּיוְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָֽכְתִּי׃	10 For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
11 מִפְּנֵֽי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָכִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי׃	11 Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
12 יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּיוַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ׃	12 My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
13 וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם תֵּשֵׁבוְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹֽר׃	13 But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
14 אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיּוֹןכִּי־עֵת לְחֶֽנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מוֹעֵֽד׃	14 Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
15 כִּי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָוְֽאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ׃	15 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
16 וְיִֽירְאוּ גוֹיִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהֹוָהוְֽכׇל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃	16 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
17 כִּֽי־בָנָה יְהֹוָה צִיּוֹןנִרְאָה בִּכְבוֹדֽוֹ׃	17 For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
18 פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָרוְלֹא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃	18 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
19 תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹןוְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָֽהּ׃	19 Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
20 כִּֽי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרוֹם קׇדְשׁוֹיְהֹוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּֽיט׃	20 Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
21 לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִירלְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽה׃	21 That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
22 לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן שֵׁם יְהֹוָהוּתְהִלָּתוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלָֽ‍ִם׃	22 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
23 בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּווּמַמְלָכוֹת לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהֹוָֽה׃	23 When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
24 עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ כחו כֹּחִיקִצַּר יָמָֽי׃	24 He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
25 אֹמַר אֵלִי אַֽל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָיבְּדוֹר דּוֹרִים שְׁנוֹתֶֽיךָ׃	25 Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
26 לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּוּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָֽיִם׃	26 In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: end the heavens are the works of thy hands.
27 הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹדוְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּכַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְֽיַחֲלֹֽפוּ׃	27 They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
28 וְאַתָּה־הוּאוּשְׁנוֹתֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּֽמּוּ׃	28 But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
29 בְּנֵֽי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכּוֹנוּוְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכּֽוֹן׃	29 The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
