תהילים פרק לט

Псалом 39

Молитва Давида о страданиях. Но не претензия и негодование в ней, а сокрушение, что боль, духовная и физическая, отрывает человека от изучения Торы, препятствуя обретению грядущего мира… А дни человеческие скоротечны, и никому неведом его конец.

1. For the Leader, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

2. I said: 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.'

3. I was dumb with silence; I held my peace, had no comfort; and my pain was held in check.

4. My heart waxed hot within me; while I was musing, the fire kindled; Then spoke I with my tongue:

5. 'LORD, make me to know mine end, And the measure of my days, what it is; Let me know how short-lived I am.

6. Behold, Thou hast made my days as hand-breadths; and mine age is as nothing before Thee; surely every man at his best estate is altogether vanity. Selah

7. Surely man walketh as a mere semblance; surely for vanity they are in turmoil; He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

8. And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope, it is in Thee.

9. Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the base.

10. I am dumb, I open not my mouth; because Thou hast done it.

11. Remove Thy stroke from off me; I am consumed by the blow of Thy hand.

12. With rebukes dost Thou chasten man for iniquity, and like a moth Thou makest his beauty to consume away; surely every man is vanity. Selah

13. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; keep not silence at my tears; for I am a stranger with Thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

14. Look away from me, that I may take comfort, before I go hence, and be no more.'

La-mnatseakh l-idutun mizmor le-David.
Amarti eshmera drakha yme-khato vilshoni eshmera lefi makhsom be-od rasha le-negdi.
Neelamti dumiya hekhesheti mitov u-khevi nekar.
Kham libi be-kirbi ba-hagigi tivar esh dibarti bilshoni.
hodieni A-doynoy kitsi u-midat yamay ma hi eda me khadel ani.
hine tfakhot natata yamay ve-kheldi khe-ayn negdekha akh kol hevel kol adam nitsav sela.
Akh be-tselem ithalekh ish akh hevel yehemayun itsbor ve-lo yeda mi osfam.
Ve-ata ma kiviti A-doynoy tokhalti lekha hi.
Mi-kol pshaay hatsileni kherpat naval al tsimeni.
Neelamti lo eftakh pi ki Ata asita.
haser me-alay nigekha mi-tigrat yadkha ani khaliti.
Be-tokhakhot al avon isarta ish va-temes ka-ash khamudo akh hevel kol adam sela.
Shima tfilati A-doynoy ve-shavati haazina el dimati al tekherash ki ger anokhi imakh toshav ke-khol avotay.
hasha mimeni ve-avliga be-terem elekh ve-eyneni.
