SONG: Tehillim 44- Faithful Through the Darkness- תהילים מ"ד
LYRICS:
1For the conductor, of the sons of Korah, a maskil.
לַֽמְנַצֵּ֬חַ לִבְנֵי־קֹ֬רַח מַשְׂכִּֽיל:
2O God, with our ears we heard, our forefathers told us; You performed a deed in their days, in days of old.
אֱלֹהִ֚ים | בְּאָזְנֵ֬ינוּ שָׁמַ֗עְנוּ אֲבוֹתֵ֥ינוּ סִפְּרוּ־לָ֑נוּ פֹּֽעַל־פָּעַ֥לְתָּ בִֽ֜ימֵיהֶ֗ם בִּ֣ימֵי קֶֽדֶם:
3You-[with] Your hand You drove out nations and planted them; You inflicted harm on kingdoms and sent them away.
אַתָּ֚ה | יָֽדְךָ֡ גּוֹיִ֣ם ה֖וֹרַשְׁתָּ וַתִּטָּעֵ֑ם תָּרַ֥ע לְ֜אֻמִּ֗ים וַֽתְּשַׁלְּחֵֽם:
4For not by their sword did they inherit the land, neither did their arm save them, but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance, for You favored them.
כִּ֚י לֹ֪א בְחַרְבָּ֡ם יָֽרְשׁוּ־אָ֗רֶץ וּזְרוֹעָם֘ לֹֽא־הוֹשִׁ֪יעָה֫ לָּ֥מוֹ כִּי־יְמִֽינְךָ֣ וּ֖זְרֽוֹעֲךָ וְא֥וֹר פָּ֜נֶ֗יךָ כִּ֣י רְצִיתָֽם:
5You are my King, O God; command the salvations of Jacob. אַתָּה־ה֣וּא מַלְכִּ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים צַ֜וֵּ֗ה יְשׁוּע֥וֹת יַֽעֲקֹֽב:
6With You, we will gore our adversaries; with Your name, we will trample those who rise up against us.
בְּךָ צָרֵ֣ינוּ נְנַגֵּ֑חַ בְּ֜שִׁמְךָ֗ נָב֥וּס קָמֵֽינוּ:
7For I do not trust in my bow, neither will my sword save me.
כִּ֚י לֹ֣א בְקַשְׁתִּ֣י אֶבְטָ֑ח וְ֜חַרְבִּ֗י לֹ֣א תֽוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי:
8For You saved us from our adversaries and You put our enemies to shame.
כִּ֣י הֽ֖וֹשַׁעְתָּנוּ מִצָּרֵ֑ינוּ וּמְשַׂנְאֵ֥ינוּ הֱבִישֽׁוֹתָ:
9We praised [ourselves] with God all day long, and we will forever thank Your name, yea forever.
בֵּ֣אלֹהִים הִלַּ֣לְנוּ כָל־הַיּ֑וֹם וְשִׁמְךָ֓ | לְעוֹלָ֖ם נוֹדֶ֣ה סֶֽלָה:
10Even if You have forsaken us and put us to shame, and You do not go out in our hosts;
אַף־זָ֖נַחְתָּ וַתַּכְלִימֵ֑נוּ וְלֹ֥א תֵ֜צֵ֗א בְּצִבְאוֹתֵֽינוּ:
11You make us retreat from the adversary, and our enemies plunder for themselves;
תְּשִׁיבֵ֣נוּ אָ֖חוֹר מִנִּי־צָ֑ר וּ֜מְשַׂנְאֵ֗ינוּ שָׁ֣סוּ לָֽמוֹ:
12You deliver us as sheep to be eaten, and You scatter us among the nations.
תִּתְּנֵנוּ כְּצֹ֣אן מַֽאֲכָ֑ל וּ֜בַגּוֹיִ֗ם זֵֽרִיתָֽנוּ:
13You sell Your people without gain, and You did not increase their price;
תִּמְכֹּר־עַמְּךָ֥ בְלֹא־ה֑וֹן וְלֹ֥א רִ֜בִּ֗יתָ בִּמְחִֽירֵיהֶֽם:
14You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to those around us;
תְּשִׂימֵ֣נוּ חֶ֖רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֜קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִֽיבוֹתֵֽינוּ:
15You make us a byword among the nations, a [cause for] shaking the head among the kingdoms.
תְּשִׂימֵ֣נוּ מָ֖שָׁל בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם מְנ֥וֹד רֹ֜֗אשׁ בַּֽלְאֻמִּֽים:
16All day long, my disgrace is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me.
כָּל־הַ֖יּוֹם כְּלִמָּתִ֣י נֶגְדִּ֑י וּבֹ֖שֶׁת פָּנַ֣י כִּסָּֽתְנִי:
17From the voice of the one who taunts and blasphemes, because of an enemy and an avenger.
מִקּוֹל־מְחָרֵ֥ף וּמְגַדֵּ֑ף מִפְּנֵ֖י א֜וֹיֵ֗ב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם:
18All this has befallen us and we have not forgotten You, neither have we betrayed Your covenant.
כָּל־זֹ֣את בָּ֖אַתְנוּ וְלֹ֣א שְׁכַֽחֲנ֑וּךָ וְלֹֽא־שִׁ֜קַּ֗רְנוּ בִּבְרִיתֶֽךָ:
19Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps turned away from Your path
לֹֽא־נָס֣וֹג אָח֣וֹר לִבֵּ֑נוּ וַתֵּ֥ט אֲשֻׁרֵ֗ינוּ מִנִּ֥י אָרְחֶֽךָ:
20-even when You crushed us in a place of serpents, and You covered us with darkness.
ככִּ֣י דִ֖כִּיתָנוּ בִּמְק֣וֹם תַּנִּ֑ים וַתְּכַ֖ס עָלֵ֣ינוּ בְצַלְמָֽוֶת:
21If we forgot the name of our God and spread out our palms to a strange god,
אִם־שָׁ֖כַחְנוּ שֵׁ֣ם אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וַנִּפְרֹ֥שׂ כַּ֜פֵּ֗ינוּ לְאֵ֣ל זָֽר:
22Will God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
הֲלֹא־אֱלֹהִ֥ים יַֽחֲקָר־זֹ֑את כִּי־ה֥וּא יֹ֜דֵ֗עַ תַּֽעֲלֻמ֥וֹת לֵֽב:
23For it is for Your sake that we are killed all the time, [that] we are considered as sheep for the slaughter.
כִּֽי־ עָ֖לֶיךָ הֹרַ֣גְנוּ כָל־הַיּ֑וֹם נֶ֜חְשַׁ֗בְנוּ כְּצֹ֣אן טִבְחָֽה:
24Awaken! Why should You sleep, O Lord? Arouse Yourself, forsake not forever.
ע֚וּרָה | לָ֖מָּה תִישַׁ֥ן | אֲדֹנָ֑י הָ֜קִ֗יצָה אַל־תִּזְנַ֥ח לָנֶֽצַח:
25Why do You hide Your countenance? [Why do] You forget our affliction and oppression?
לָ֣מָּה פָנֶ֣יךָ תַסְתִּ֑יר תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח עָנְיֵ֣נוּ וְֽלַֽחֲצֵֽנוּ:
26For our soul is cast down to the dust, our belly clings to the earth.
כִּ֚י שָׁ֣חָה לֶֽעָפָ֣ר נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ דָּֽבְקָ֖ה לָאָ֣רֶץ בִּטְנֵֽנוּ:
27Arise to assist us and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness.
ק֣וּמָה עֶזְרָ֣תָה לָּ֑נוּ וּ֜פְדֵ֗נוּ לְמַ֣עַן חַסְדֶּֽךָ:
