National Lament. Psalm 44(v43) | לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מַשְׂכִּיל׃ | |||
1 | We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old: | אֱלֹהִים בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ אֲבֹותֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָנוּ פֹּעַל פָּעַלְתָּ בִימֵיהֶם בִּימֵי קֶדֶם׃ | ||
2 | you with your own hand, drive out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but you set them free; | אַתָּה יָדְךָ גֹּויִם הֹורַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵם תָּרַע לְאֻמִּים וַתְּשַׁלְּחֵם׃ | ||
3 | for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm give them victory; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance; for you delighted in them. | כִּי לֹא בְחַרְבָּם יָרְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּזְרֹועָם לֹא־הֹושִׁיעָה לָּמֹו כִּי־יְמִינְךָ וּזְרֹועֲךָ וְאֹור פָּנֶיךָ כִּי רְצִיתָם׃ | ||
4 | You are my King and my God, who ordains victories for Jacob. | אַתָּה־הוּא מַלְכִּי אֱלֹהִים צַוֵּה יְשׁוּעֹות יַעֲקֹב׃ | ||
5 | Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down our assailants. | בְּךָ צָרֵינוּ נְנַגֵּחַ בְּשִׁמְךָ נָבוּס קָמֵינוּ׃ | ||
6 | For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me. | כִּי לֹא בְקַשְׁתִּי אֶבְטָח וְחַרְבִּי לֹא תֹושִׁיעֵנִי׃ | ||
7 | But you have saved us from our foes, and have put to confusion those who hate us. | כִּי הֹושַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ הֱבִישֹׁותָ׃ | ||
8 | In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name for ever. | בֵּאלֹהִים הִלַּלְנוּ כָל־הַיֹּום וְשִׁמְךָ לְעֹולָם נֹודֶה סֶלָה׃ | ||
9 | Yet you have cast us off and abased us, and have not gone out with our armies. | אַף־זָנַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵנוּ וְלֹא־תֵצֵא בְּצִבְאֹותֵינוּ׃ | ||
10 | You have made us turn back from the foe; and our enemies have gotten spoil. | תְּשִׁיבֵנוּ אָחֹור מִנִּי־צָר וּמְשַׂנְאֵינוּ שָׁסוּ לָמֹו׃ | ||
11 | You have made us like sheep for slaughter, and have scattered us among the nations. | תִּתְּנֵנוּ כְּצֹאן מַאֲכָל וּבַגֹּויִם זֵרִיתָנוּ׃ | ||
12 | You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them. | תִּמְכֹּר־עַמְּךָ בְלֹא־הֹון וְלֹא־רִבִּיתָ בִּמְחִירֵיהֶם׃ | ||
13 | You have made us the taunt of our neighbours, the derision and scorn of those about us. | תְּשִׂימֵנוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵינוּ׃ | ||
14 | You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. | תְּשִׂימֵנוּ מָשָׁל בַּגֹּויִם מְנֹוד־רֹאשׁ בַּל־אֻמִּים׃ | ||
15 | All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face, | כָּל־הַיֹּום כְּלִמָּתִי נֶגְדִּי וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנַי כִּסָּתְנִי׃ | ||
16 | at the words of the taunters and revilers, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. | מִקֹּול מְחָרֵף וּמְגַדֵּף מִפְּנֵי אֹויֵב וּמִתְנַקֵּם׃ | ||
17 | All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, or been false to your covenant. | כָּל־זֹאת בָּאַתְנוּ וְלֹא שְׁכַחֲנוּךָ וְלֹא־שִׁקַּרְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶךָ׃ | ||
18 | Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way, | לֹא־נָסֹוג אָחֹור לִבֵּנוּ וַתֵּט אֲשֻׁרֵינוּ מִנִּי אָרְחֶךָ׃ | ||
19 | that you should have broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with deep darkness. | כִּי דִכִּיתָנוּ בִּמְקֹום תַּנִּים וַתְּכַס עָלֵינוּ בְצַלְמָוֶת׃ | ||
20 | If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god, | אִם־שָׁכַחְנוּ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַנִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפֵּינוּ לְאֵל זָר׃ | ||
21 | would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart. | הֲלֹא אֱלֹהִים יַחֲקָר־זֹאת כִּי־הוּא יֹדֵעַ תַּעֲלֻמֹות לֵב׃ | ||
22 | Nay, for your sake we are slain all the day long, and accounted as sheep for the slaughter. | כִּי־עָלֶיךָ הֹרַגְנוּ כָל־הַיֹּום נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כְּצֹאן טִבְחָה׃ | ||
23 | Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Yahweh? Awake! Do not cast us off for ever! | עוּרָה לָמָּה תִישַׁן אֲדֹנָי הָקִיצָה אַל־תִּזְנַח לָנֶצַח׃ | ||
24 | Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression? | לָמָּה־פָנֶיךָ תַסְתִּיר תִּשְׁכַּח עָנְיֵנוּ וְלַחֲצֵנוּ׃ | ||
25 | For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the ground. | כִּי שָׁחָה לֶעָפָר נַפְשֵׁנוּ דָּבְקָה לָאָרֶץ בִּטְנֵנוּ׃ | ||
26 | Rise up, come to our help! Deliver us for the sake of your steadfast love! | קוּמָה עֶזְרָתָה לָּנוּ וּפְדֵנוּ לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ׃ | ||
