|
81b
|
I hope in your words.
|
| כָּל֣וּ עֵ֭ינַי לְאִמְרָתֶ֑ךָ
|
82a
|
My eyes pine for your promise,
|
| לֵ֝אמֹ֗ר מָתַ֣י תְּנַחֲמֵֽנִי׃
|
82b
|
saying, "When will you comfort me?"
|
| כִּי־הָיִ֣יתִי כְּנֹ֣אד בְּקִיט֑וֹר
|
83a
|
For I have become like a waterskin in smoke.
|
| חֻ֝קֶּיךָ לֹ֣א שָׁכָֽחְתִּי׃
|
83b
|
I have not forgotten your purposes.
|
| כַּ֭מָּה יְמֵ֣י עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ

84a
|
How many are the days of your servant?
|
| מָתַ֣י תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה בְרֹדְפַ֥י מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
|
84b
|
When will you do justice on my persecutors?

Arrogant people have dug pitfalls for me,

those who are not in accordance with your teaching.
|

|
86a
|
All your commands are faithful.
|

|
86b
|
They persecute me falsely. Help me!
|
| כִּ֭מְעַט כִּלּ֣וּנִי בָאָ֑רֶץ

87a
|
They have almost finished me off in the earth.
|

|
87b
|
But I have not forsaken your precepts.

88a
|
Keep me alive according to your loyal love,

88b
|
so that I will keep the testimony of your mouth.

90a
|
Your faithfulness is to generation after generation.
|

|
90b
|
You established the earth and it stands firm.
|

91a
|
They stand firm to your judgments today,

91b
|
because all things are your servants.
|
| לוּלֵ֣י תוֹרָתְךָ֣ שַׁעֲשֻׁעָ֑י
|
92a
|
If your teaching were not my delight,
|
| אָ֝בַ֗דְתִּי בְּעָנְיִֽי׃
|
92b
|
then I would have perished in my suffering.
|
| לְעוֹלָם֮ לֹא־אֶשְׁכַּ֪ח פִּקּוּדֶ֗יךָ

I will never forget your precepts,

95b
|
I consider your testimonies.
|

I have seen a limit to all perfection.

Your command is very broad.

I have more understanding than all my teachers,

YHWH, keep me alive according to your word!

Sustain me according to your promise, so that I will live,

118a
|
You have rejected all who stray from your purposes,

118b
|
because their deceit is false.
|
| סִגִ֗ים *חָשַׁבְתָּ* כָל־רִשְׁעֵי־אָ֑רֶץ

You put an end to all the wicked of the earth like dross.

119b
|
For this reason I love your testimonies.

It is time for YHWH to act.

126b
|
They have broken your teaching.
|
| עַל־כֵּ֓ן אָהַ֥בְתִּי מִצְוֺתֶ֗יךָ
|
127a
|
For this reason I love your commands

127b
|
more than gold, even pure gold.
|
| עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ כָּל־*פִּקּוּדֶיךָ* יִשָּׁ֑רְתִּי

128a
|
For this reason I consider all your precepts to be right.

129b
|
For this reason my soul keeps them.

|
130a
|
The opening of your words gives light.
|
| מֵבִ֥ין פְּתָיִֽם׃
|
130b
|
It gives understanding to the simple.
|
| פִּֽי־פָ֭עַרְתִּי וָאֶשְׁאָ֑פָה
|
131a
|
I opened my mouth wide and I panted,
|
| כִּ֖י לְמִצְוֺתֶ֣יךָ יָאָֽבְתִּי׃
|
131b
|
because I longed for your commands.
|
| פְּנֵה־אֵלַ֥י וְחָנֵּ֑נִי

132a
|
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
|
| כְּמִשְׁפָּ֖ט לְאֹהֲבֵ֣י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

132b
|
according to your rule for those who love your name.
|
| פְּמֵיכֶ֥נִי בְאִמְרָתֶ֑ךָ
|
133a
|
Establish my steps by your promise,
|
| וְֽאַל־תַּשְׁלֶט־בִּ֖י כָּל־אָֽוֶן׃
|
133b
|
and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
|

Redeem me from the oppression of man,

134b
|
so that I will keep your precepts.

Let your face shine on your servant,

|
135b
|
and teach me your purposes.
|
| פַּלְגֵי־מַ֭יִם יָרְד֣וּ עֵינָ֑י

|
Streams of water run down from my eyes,

| עַ֝֗ל לֹא־שָׁמְר֥וּ תוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃
|
136b
|
because they have not kept your teaching.
