Salmi תהילים (Tehillim) 102

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 תְּפִלָּה לְעָנִי כִי־יַעֲטֹף וְלִפְנֵי יְהוָה יִשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחֹו	1 A prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to thee!
2 יְהוָה שִׁמְעָה תְפִלָּתִי וְשַׁוְעָתִי אֵלֶיךָ תָבֹוא	2 Do not hide thy face from me in the day of my distress! Incline thy ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!
3 אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ ׀ מִמֶּנִּי בְּיֹום צַר לִי הַטֵּה־אֵלַי אָזְנֶךָ בְּיֹום אֶקְרָא מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי	3 For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.
4 כִּי־כָלוּ בְעָשָׁן יָמָי וְעַצְמֹותַי כְּמֹו־קֵד נִחָרוּ	4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; I forget to eat my bread.
5 הוּכָּה־כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי כִּישָׁ־כַחְתִּי מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִי	5 Because of my loud groaning my bones cleave to my flesh.
6 מִקֹּול אַנְחָתִי דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי לִבְשָׂרִי	6 I am like a vulture of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;
7 דָּמִיתִי לִקְאַת מִדְבָּר הָיִיתִי כְּכֹוס חֳרָבֹות	7 I lie awake, I am like a lonely bird on the housetop.
8 שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶה כְּצִפֹּור בֹּודֵד עַל־גָּג	8 All the day my enemies taunt me, those who deride me use my name for a curse.
9 כָּל־הַיֹּום חֵרְפוּנִי אֹויְבָי מְהֹולָלַי בִּי נִשְׁבָּעוּ	9 For I eat ashes like bread, and mingle tears with my drink,
10 כִּי־אֵפֶר כַּלֶּחֶם אָכָלְתִּי וְשִׁקֻּוַי בִּבְכִי מָסָכְתִּי	10 because of thy indignation and anger; for thou hast taken me up and thrown me away.
11 מִפְּנֵי־זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי	11 My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
12 יָמַי כְּצֵל נָטוּי וַאֲנִי כָּעֵשֶׂב אִיבָשׁ	12 But thou, O LORD, art enthroned for ever; thy name endures to all generations.
13 וְאַתָּה יְהוָה לְעֹולָם תֵּשֵׁב וְזִכְרְךָ לְדֹר וָדֹר	13 Thou wilt arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come.
14 אַתָּה תָקוּם תְּרַחֵם צִיֹּון כִּי־עֵת לְחֶנְנָהּ כִּי־בָא מֹועֵד	14 For thy servants hold her stones dear, and have pity on her dust.
15 כִּי־רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶת־אֲבָנֶיהָ וְאֶת־עֲפָרָהּ יְחֹנֵנוּ	15 The nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 וְיִירְאוּ גֹויִם אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה וְכָל־מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ אֶת־כְּבֹודֶךָ	16 For the LORD will build up Zion, he will appear in his glory;
17 כִּי־בָנָה יְהוָה צִיֹּון נִרְאָה בִּכְבֹודֹו	17 he will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their supplication.
18 פָּנָה אֶל־תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹא־בָזָה אֶת־תְּפִלָּתָם	18 Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet unborn may praise the LORD:
19 תִּכָּתֶב זֹאת לְדֹור אַחֲרֹון וְעַם נִבְרָא יְהַלֶּל־יָהּ	19 that he looked down from his holy height, from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,
20 כִּי־הִשְׁקִיף מִמְּרֹום קָדְשֹׁו יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם ׀ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הִבִּיט	20 to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die;
21 לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר לְפַתֵּחַ בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה	21 that men may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise,
22 לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיֹּון שֵׁם יְהוָה וּתְהִלָּתֹו בִּירוּשָׁלִָם	22 when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.
23 בְּהִקָּבֵץ עַמִּים יַחְדָּו וּמַמְלָכֹות לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה	23 He has broken my strength in mid-course; he has shortened my days.
24 עִנָּה בַדֶּרֶךְ [כֹּחֹו כ] (כֹּחִי ק) קִצַּר יָמָי	24 "O my God," I say, "take me not hence in the midst of my days, thou whose years endure throughout all generations!"
25 אֹמַר אֵלִי אַל־תַּעֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִי יָמָי בְּדֹור דֹּורִים שְׁנֹותֶיךָ	25 Of old thou didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 לְפָנִים הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָיִם	26 They will perish, but thou dost endure; they will all wear out like a garment. Thou changest them like raiment, and they pass away;
27 הֵמָּה ׀ יֹאבֵדוּ וְאַתָּה תַעֲמֹד וְכֻלָּם כַּבֶּגֶד יִבְלוּ כַּלְּבוּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵם וְיַחֲלֹפוּ	27 but thou art the same, and thy years have no end.
28 וְאַתָּה־הוּא וּשְׁנֹותֶיךָ לֹא יִתָּמּוּ	28 The children of thy servants shall dwell secure; their posterity shall be established before thee.
29 בְּנֵי־עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכֹּונוּ וְזַרְעָם לְפָנֶיךָ יִכֹּון
