א
לָמָה יְהוָה, תַּעֲמֹד בְּרָחוֹק; תַּעְלִים, לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָה.
|
1
Why standest Thou afar off, O YAHOWAH? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?
|
|
ב
בְּגַאֲוַת רָשָׁע, יִדְלַק עָנִי; יִתָּפְשׂוּ, בִּמְזִמּוֹת זוּ חָשָׁבוּ.
|
2
Through the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued, they are taken in the devices that they have imagined.
|
|
ג
כִּי-הִלֵּל רָשָׁע, עַל-תַּאֲוַת נַפְשׁוֹ; וּבֹצֵעַ בֵּרֵךְ, נִאֵץ יְהוָה.
|
3
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and the covetous vaunteth himself, though he contemn YAHOWAH.
|
|
ד
רָשָׁע--כְּגֹבַהּ אַפּוֹ, בַּל-יִדְרֹשׁ; אֵין אֱלֹהִים, כָּל-מְזִמּוֹתָיו.
|
4
The wicked, in the pride of his countenance [, saith]: 'He will not require'; all his thoughts are: 'There is no Eloheem.'
|
|
ה
יָחִילוּ דְרָכָו, בְּכָל-עֵת--מָרוֹם מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ, מִנֶּגְדּוֹ; כָּל-צוֹרְרָיו, יָפִיחַ בָּהֶם.
|
5
His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
|
|
ו
אָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ, בַּל-אֶמּוֹט; לְדֹר וָדֹר, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-בְרָע.
|
6
He saith in his heart: 'I shall not be moved, I who to all generations shall not be in adversity.'
|
|
ז
אָלָה, פִּיהוּ מָלֵא--וּמִרְמוֹת וָתֹךְ; תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנוֹ, עָמָל וָאָוֶן.
|
7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
|
|
ח
יֵשֵׁב, בְּמַאְרַב חֲצֵרִים--בַּמִּסְתָּרִים, יַהֲרֹג נָקִי; עֵינָיו, לְחֵלְכָה יִצְפֹּנוּ.
|
8
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in secret places doth he slay the innocent; his eyes are on the watch for the helpless.
|
ט
יֶאֱרֹב בַּמִּסְתָּר, כְּאַרְיֵה בְסֻכֹּה-- יֶאֱרֹב, לַחֲטוֹף עָנִי;
יַחְטֹף עָנִי, בְּמָשְׁכוֹ בְרִשְׁתּוֹ.
|
9
He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, he lieth in wait to catch the poor;
{N}
he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net.
|
|
י
ודכה (יִדְכֶּה) יָשֹׁחַ; וְנָפַל בַּעֲצוּמָיו, חלכאים (חֵל כָּאִים).
|
10
He croucheth, he boweth down, and the helpless fall into his mighty claws.
|
|
יא
אָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ, שָׁכַח אֵל; הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו, בַּל-רָאָה לָנֶצַח.
|
11
He hath said in his heart: 'Eloheem hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.'
|
|
יב
קוּמָה יְהוָה--אֵל, נְשָׂא יָדֶךָ; אַל-תִּשְׁכַּח עניים (עֲנָוִים).
|
12
Arise, O YAHOWAH; O Eloheem, lift up Thy hand; forget not the humble.
|
|
יג
עַל-מֶה, נִאֵץ רָשָׁע אֱלֹהִים; אָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ, לֹא תִדְרֹשׁ.
|
13
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn Eloheem, and say in his heart: 'Thou wilt not require'?
|
יד
רָאִתָה, כִּי-אַתָּה עָמָל וָכַעַס תַּבִּיט-- לָתֵת בְּיָדֶךָ:
עָלֶיךָ, יַעֲזֹב חֵלֵכָה; יָתוֹם, אַתָּה הָיִיתָ עוֹזֵר.
|
14
Thou hast seen; for Thou beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite them with Thy hand;
{N}
unto Thee the helpless committeth himself; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
|
|
טו
שְׁבֹר, זְרוֹעַ רָשָׁע; וָרָע, תִּדְרוֹשׁ-רִשְׁעוֹ בַל-תִּמְצָא.
|
15
Break Thou the arm of the wicked; and as for the evil man, search out his wickedness, till none be found.
|
|
טז
יְהוָה מֶלֶךְ, עוֹלָם וָעֶד; אָבְדוּ גוֹיִם, מֵאַרְצוֹ.
|
16
YAHOWAH is King for ever and ever; the nations are perished out of His land.
|
|
יז
תַּאֲוַת עֲנָוִים שָׁמַעְתָּ יְהוָה; תָּכִין לִבָּם, תַּקְשִׁיב אָזְנֶךָ.
|
17
LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt direct their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to attend;
|
|
יח
לִשְׁפֹּט יָתוֹם, וָדָךְ: בַּל-יוֹסִיף עוֹד--לַעֲרֹץ אֱנוֹשׁ, מִן-הָאָרֶץ.
|
18
To right the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
{P}
