1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps, | 1 מִזְמֹ֗ור לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֱֽלֹהִ֡ים בָּ֤אוּ גֹויִ֨ם׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶ֗ךָ טִ֭מְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם לְעִיִּֽים׃ | |
2 They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth. | 2 נָֽתְנ֡וּ אֶת־נִבְלַ֬ת עֲבָדֶ֗יךָ מַ֭אֲכָל לְעֹ֣וף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּשַׂ֥ר חֲ֝סִידֶ֗יךָ לְחַיְתֹו־אָֽרֶץ׃ | |
3 They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying. | 3 שָׁפְכ֬וּ דָמָ֨ם׀ כַּמַּ֗יִם סְֽבִ֘יבֹ֤ות יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם וְאֵ֣ין קֹובֵֽר׃ | |
4 We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders. | 4 הָיִ֣ינוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵֽינוּ׃ | |
5 Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire. | 5 עַד־מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תֶּאֱנַ֣ף לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֥ר כְּמֹו־אֵ֝֗שׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃ | |
6 Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name. | 6 שְׁפֹ֤ךְ חֲמָתְךָ֨ אֶֽל־הַגֹּויִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֪ר לֹא־יְדָ֫ע֥וּךָ וְעַ֥ל מַמְלָכֹ֑ות אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃ | |
7 For `one' hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate. | 7 כִּ֭י אָכַ֣ל אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְֽאֶת־נָוֵ֥הוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃ | |
8 Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak. | 8 אַֽל־תִּזְכָּר־לָנוּ֮ עֲוֹנֹ֪ת רִאשֹׁ֫נִ֥ים מַ֭הֵר יְקַדְּמ֣וּנוּ רַחֲמֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י דַלֹּ֣ונוּ מְאֹֽד׃ | |
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake. | 9 עָזְרֵ֤נוּ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׁעֵ֗נוּ עַל־דְּבַ֥ר כְּבֹֽוד־שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וְהַצִּילֵ֥נוּ וְכַפֵּ֥ר עַל־חַ֝טֹּאתֵ֗ינוּ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ | |
10 Why do the nations say, `Where `is' their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed. | 10 לָ֤מָּה׀ יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגֹּויִם֮ אַיֵּ֪ה אֱֽלֹהֵ֫יהֶ֥ם יִוָּדַ֣ע בַּגִּיִּים בַּגֹּויִ֣ם לְעֵינֵ֑ינוּ נִ֝קְמַ֗ת דַּֽם־עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃ | |
11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death. | 11 תָּ֤בֹ֣וא לְפָנֶיךָ֮ אֶנְקַ֪ת אָ֫סִ֥יר כְּגֹ֥דֶל זְרֹועֲךָ֑ הֹ֝ותֵ֗ר בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃ | |
12 And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord. | 12 וְהָ֘שֵׁ֤ב לִשְׁכֵנֵ֣ינוּ בְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָ֑ם חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃ | |
13 And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise! | 13 וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַמְּךָ֨3׀ וְצֹ֥אן מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ נֹ֤ודֶ֥ה לְּךָ֗ לְעֹ֫ולָ֥ם לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֑ר נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ | |
