1“My spirit is broken; my days are extinguished; the grave awaits me.1רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי׃
2Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.2אִם־ לֹ֣א הֲ֭תֻלִים עִמָּדִ֑י וּ֝בְהַמְּרוֹתָ֗ם תָּלַ֥ן עֵינִֽי׃
3Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?3שִֽׂימָה־ נָּ֭א עָרְבֵ֣נִי עִמָּ֑ךְ מִֽי ה֝֗וּא לְיָדִ֥י יִתָּקֵֽעַ׃
4You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore You will not exalt them.4כִּֽי־ לִ֭בָּם צָפַ֣נְתָּ מִּשָּׂ֑כֶל עַל־ כֵּ֝֗ן לֹ֣א תְרֹמֵֽם׃
5If a man denounces his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail.5לְ֭חֵלֶק יַגִּ֣יד רֵעִ֑ים וְעֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣יו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃
6He has made me a byword among the people, a man in whose face they spit.6וְֽ֭הִצִּגַנִי לִמְשֹׁ֣ל עַמִּ֑ים וְתֹ֖פֶת לְפָנִ֣ים אֶֽהְיֶֽה׃
7My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.7וַתֵּ֣כַהּ מִכַּ֣עַשׂ עֵינִ֑י וִֽיצֻרַ֖י כַּצֵּ֣ל כֻּלָּֽם׃
8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are stirred against the godless.8יָשֹׁ֣מּוּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים עַל־ זֹ֑את וְ֝נָקִ֗י עַל־ חָנֵ֥ף יִתְעֹרָֽר׃
9Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.9וְיֹאחֵ֣ז צַדִּ֣יק דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּֽטֳהָר־ יָ֝דַ֗יִם יֹסִ֥יף אֹֽמֶץ׃
10But come back and try again, all of you. For I will not find a wise man among you.10וְֽאוּלָ֗ם כֻּלָּ֣ם תָּ֭שֻׁבוּ וּבֹ֣אוּ נָ֑א וְלֹֽא־ אֶמְצָ֖א בָכֶ֣ם חָכָֽם׃
11My days have passed; my plans are broken off—even the desires of my heart.11יָמַ֣י עָ֭בְרוּ זִמֹּתַ֣י נִתְּק֑וּ מ֖וֹרָשֵׁ֣י לְבָבִֽי׃
12They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.12לַ֭יְלָה לְי֣וֹם יָשִׂ֑ימוּ א֝֗וֹר קָר֥וֹב מִפְּנֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
13If I look for Sheol as my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,13אִם־ אֲ֭קַוֶּה שְׁא֣וֹל בֵּיתִ֑י בַּ֝חֹ֗שֶׁךְ רִפַּ֥דְתִּי יְצוּעָֽי׃
14and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’14לַשַּׁ֣חַת קָ֭רָאתִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אִמִּ֥י וַ֝אֲחֹתִ֗י לָֽרִמָּֽה׃
15where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?15וְ֭אַיֵּה אֵפ֣וֹ תִקְוָתִ֑י וְ֝תִקְוָתִ֗י מִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃
16Will it go down to the gates of Sheol? Will we go down together into the dust?”16בַּדֵּ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ל תֵּרַ֑דְנָה אִם־ יַ֖חַד עַל־ עָפָ֣ר נָֽחַת׃ ס
