Psalms 22

1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחֹוק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי׃ (2776)

2O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

אֱ‍לֹהַי אֶקְרָא יֹומָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא־דוּמִיָּה לִי׃ (1229)

3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

וְאַתָּה קָדֹושׁ יֹושֵׁב תְּהִלֹּות יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (2522)

4Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַתְּפַלְּטֵמֹו׃ (1112)

5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

אֵלֶיךָ זָעֲקוּ וְנִמְלָטוּ בְּךָ בָטְחוּ וְלֹא־בֹושׁוּ׃ (783)

6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

וְאָנֹכִי תֹולַעַת וְלֹא־אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם׃ (2215)

7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

כָּל־רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ׃ (1769)

8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

גֹּל אֶל־יְהוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בֹּו׃ (597)

9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

כִּי־אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל־שְׁדֵי אִמִּי׃ (1102)

10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה׃ (1782)

11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי־צָרָה קְרֹובָה כִּי־אֵין עֹוזֵר׃ (1891)

12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי׃ (1973)

13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג׃ (1236)

14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל־עַצְמֹותָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדֹּונָג נָמֵס בְּתֹוךְ מֵעָי׃ (3180)

15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ ׀ כֹּחִי וּלְשֹׁונִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקֹוחָי וְלַעֲפַר־מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי׃ (3692)

16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי׃ (1861)

17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

אֲסַפֵּר כָּל־עַצְמֹותָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ־בִי׃ (1323)

18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל־לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גֹורָל׃ (1077)

19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

וְאַתָּה יְהוָה אַל־תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה׃ (2670)

20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

הַצִּילָה מֵחֶרֶב נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד־כֶּלֶב יְחִידָתִי׃ (1378)

21Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

הֹושִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּי אַרְיֵה וּמִקַּרְנֵי רֵמִים עֲנִיתָנִי׃ (2083)

22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתֹוךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ׃ (1404)

23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

יִרְאֵי יְהוָה ׀ הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל־זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כָּל־זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ (2106)

24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

כִּי לֹא־בָזָה וְלֹא שִׁקַּץ עֱנוּת עָנִי וְלֹא־הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו מִמֶּנּוּ וּבְשַׁוְּעֹו אֵלָיו שָׁמֵעַ׃ (3099)

25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

מֵאִתְּךָ תְהִלָּתִי בְּקָהָל רָב נְדָרַי אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגֶד יְרֵאָיו׃ (2564)

26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

יֹאכְלוּ עֲנָוִים ׀ וְיִשְׂבָּעוּ יְהַלְלוּ יְהוָה דֹּרְשָׁיו יְחִי לְבַבְכֶם לָעַד׃ (1490)

27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

יִזְכְּרוּ ׀ וְיָשֻׁבוּ אֶל־יְהוָה כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ וְיִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְפָנֶיךָ כָּל־מִשְׁפְּחֹות גֹּויִם׃ (2985)

28For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations.

כִּי לַיהוָה הַמְּלוּכָה וּמֹשֵׁל בַּגֹּויִם׃ (629)

29All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

אָכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ ׀ כָּל־דִּשְׁנֵי־אֶרֶץ לְפָנָיו יִכְרְעוּ כָּל־יֹורְדֵי עָפָר וְנַפְשֹׁו לֹא חִיָּה׃ (3106)

30A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

זֶרַע יַעַבְדֶנּוּ יְסֻפַּר לַאדֹנָי לַדֹּור׃ (1104)

31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

יָבֹאוּ וְיַגִּידוּ צִדְקָתֹו לְעַם נֹולָד כִּי עָשָׂה׃ (1293)
