1"But now they mock me, men younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs.

1וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׂחֲק֣וּ עָלַי֮ צְעִירִ֥ים מִמֶּ֗נִּי לְיָ֫מִ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־ מָאַ֥סְתִּי אֲבוֹתָ֑ם לָ֝שִׁ֗ית עִם־ כַּלְבֵ֥י צֹאנִֽי׃

2Of what use was the strength of their hands to me, since their vigor had gone from them?

2גַּם־ כֹּ֣חַ יְ֭דֵיהֶם לָ֣מָּה לִּ֑י עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ אָ֣בַד כָּֽלַח׃

3Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.

3בְּחֶ֥סֶר וּבְכָפָ֗ן גַּ֫לְמ֥וּד הַֽעֹרְקִ֥ים צִיָּ֑ה אֶ֝֗מֶשׁ שׁוֹאָ֥ה וּמְשֹׁאָֽה׃

4In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush.

4הַקֹּטְפִ֣ים מַלּ֣וּחַ עֲלֵי־ שִׂ֑יחַ וְשֹׁ֖רֶשׁ רְתָמִ֣ים לַחְמָֽם׃

5They were banished from human society, shouted at as if they were thieves.

5מִן־ גֵּ֥ו יְגֹרָ֑שׁוּ יָרִ֥יעוּ עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ כַּגַּנָּֽב׃

6They were forced to live in the dry stream beds, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.

6בַּעֲר֣וּץ נְחָלִ֣ים לִשְׁכֹּ֑ן חֹרֵ֖י עָפָ֣ר וְכֵפִֽים׃

7They brayed among the bushes and huddled in the undergrowth.

7בֵּין־ שִׂיחִ֥ים יִנְהָ֑קוּ תַּ֖חַת חָר֣וּל יְסֻפָּֽחוּ׃

8A base and nameless brood, they were driven out of the land.

8בְּֽנֵי־ נָ֭בָל גַּם־ בְּנֵ֣י בְלִי־ שֵׁ֑ם נִ֝כְּא֗וּ מִן־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

9"And now those young men mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.

9וְ֭עַתָּה נְגִינָתָ֣ם הָיִ֑יתִי וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמִלָּֽה׃

10They detest me and keep their distance; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.

10תִּֽ֭עֲבוּנִי רָ֣חֲקוּ מֶ֑נִּי וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י לֹא־ חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק׃

11Now that God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they throw off restraint in my presence.

11כִּֽי־ [יתרו] (יִתְרִ֣י) פִ֭תַּח וַיְעַנֵּ֑נִי וְ֝רֶ֗סֶן מִפָּנַ֥י שִׁלֵּֽחוּ׃

12On my right the tribe attacks; they lay snares for my feet, they build their siege ramps against me.

12עַל־ יָמִין֮ פִּרְחַ֪ח יָ֫ק֥וּמוּ רַגְלַ֥י שִׁלֵּ֑חוּ וַיָּסֹ֥לּוּ עָ֝לַ֗י אָרְח֥וֹת אֵידָֽם׃

13They break up my road; they succeed in destroying me. 'No one can help him,' they say.

13נָתְס֗וּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י לְהַוָּתִ֥י יֹעִ֑ילוּ לֹ֖א עֹזֵ֣ר לָֽמוֹ׃

14They advance as through a gaping breach; amid the ruins they come rolling in.

14כְּפֶ֣רֶץ רָחָ֣ב יֶאֱתָ֑יוּ תַּ֥חַת שֹׁ֝אָ֗ה הִתְגַּלְגָּֽלוּ׃

15Terrors overwhelm me; my dignity is driven away as by the wind, my safety vanishes like a cloud.

15הָהְפַּ֥ךְ עָלַ֗י בַּלָּ֫ה֥וֹת תִּרְדֹּ֣ף כָּ֭רוּחַ נְדִבָתִ֑י וּ֝כְעָ֗ב עָבְרָ֥ה יְשֻׁעָתִֽי׃

16"And now my life ebbs away; days of suffering grip me.

16וְעַתָּ֗ה עָ֭לַי תִּשְׁתַּפֵּ֣ךְ נַפְשִׁ֑י יֹ֭אחֲז֣וּנִי יְמֵי־ עֹֽנִי׃

17Night pierces my bones; my gnawing pains never rest.

17לַ֗יְלָה עֲ֭צָמַי נִקַּ֣ר מֵעָלָ֑י וְ֝עֹרְקַ֗י לֹ֣א יִשְׁכָּבֽוּן׃

18In his great power God becomes like clothing to me; he binds me like the neck of my garment.

18בְּרָב־ כֹּ֭חַ יִתְחַפֵּ֣שׂ לְבוּשִׁ֑י כְּפִ֖י כֻתָּנְתִּ֣י יַֽאַזְרֵֽנִי׃

19He throws me into the mud, and I am reduced to dust and ashes.

19הֹרָ֥נִי לַחֹ֑מֶר וָ֝אֶתְמַשֵּׁ֗ל כֶּעָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר׃

20"I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer; I stand up, but you merely look at me.

20אֲשַׁוַּ֣ע אֵ֭לֶיךָ וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֵ֑נִי עָ֝מַ֗דְתִּי וַתִּתְבֹּ֥נֶן בִּֽי׃

21You turn on me ruthlessly; with the might of your hand you attack me.

21תֵּהָפֵ֣ךְ לְאַכְזָ֣ר לִ֑י בְּעֹ֖צֶם יָדְךָ֣ תִשְׂטְמֵֽנִי׃

22You snatch me up and drive me before the wind; you toss me about in the storm.

22תִּשָּׂאֵ֣נִי אֶל־ ר֭וּחַ תַּרְכִּיבֵ֑נִי וּ֝תְמֹגְגֵ֗נִי [תשוה] (תּוּשִׁיָּֽה׃)

23I know you will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.

23כִּֽי־ יָ֭דַעְתִּי מָ֣וֶת תְּשִׁיבֵ֑נִי וּבֵ֖ית מוֹעֵ֣ד לְכָל־ חָֽי׃

24"Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man when he cries for help in his distress.

24אַ֣ךְ לֹא־ בְ֭עִי יִשְׁלַח־ יָ֑ד אִם־ בְּ֝פִיד֗וֹ לָהֶ֥ן שֽׁוּעַ׃

25Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has not my soul grieved for the poor?

25אִם־ לֹ֣א בָ֭כִיתִי לִקְשֵׁה־ י֑וֹם עָֽגְמָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י לָאֶבְיֽוֹן׃

26Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness.

26כִּ֤י ט֣וֹב קִ֭וִּיתִי וַיָּ֣בֹא רָ֑ע וַֽאֲיַחֲלָ֥ה לְ֝א֗וֹר וַיָּ֥בֹא אֹֽפֶל׃

27The churning inside me never stops; days of suffering confront me.

27מֵעַ֖י רֻתְּח֥וּ וְלֹא־ דָ֗מּוּ קִדְּמֻ֥נִי יְמֵי־ עֹֽנִי׃

28I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

28קֹדֵ֣ר הִ֭לַּכְתִּי בְּלֹ֣א חַמָּ֑ה קַ֖מְתִּי בַקָּהָ֣ל אֲשַׁוֵּֽעַ׃

29I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of owls.

29אָ֭ח הָיִ֣יתִי לְתַנִּ֑ים וְ֝רֵ֗עַ לִבְנ֥וֹת יַעֲנָֽה׃

30My skin grows black and peels; my body burns with fever.

30ע֭וֹרִי שָׁחַ֣ר מֵעָלָ֑י וְעַצְמִי־ חָ֝֗רָה מִנִּי־ חֹֽרֶב׃

31My lyre is tuned to mourning, and my pipe to the sound of wailing.

31וַיְהִ֣י לְ֭אֵבֶל כִּנֹּרִ֑י וְ֝עֻגָבִ֗י לְק֣וֹל בֹּכִֽים׃
