1	וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ שָֽׂחֲק֣וּ עָלַי֮ צְעִירִ֥ים מִמֶּ֗נִּי לְיָ֫מִ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־ מָאַ֥סְתִּי אֲבוֹתָ֑ם לָ֝שִׁ֗ית עִם־ כַּלְבֵ֥י צֹאנִֽי׃	“But now they laugh at me, men who are younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.	“But now they mock me, men younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs.
2	גַּם־ כֹּ֣חַ יְ֭דֵיהֶם לָ֣מָּה לִּ֑י עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ אָ֣בַד כָּֽלַח׃	What could I gain from the strength of their hands, men whose vigor is gone?	Of what use was the strength of their hands to me, since their vigor had gone from them?
3	בְּחֶ֥סֶר וּבְכָפָ֗ן גַּ֫לְמ֥וּד הַֽעֹרְקִ֥ים צִיָּ֑ה אֶ֝֗מֶשׁ שׁוֹאָ֥ה וּמְשֹׁאָֽה׃	Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;	Haggard from want and hunger, they roamed the parched land in desolate wastelands at night.
4	הַקֹּטְפִ֣ים מַלּ֣וּחַ עֲלֵי־ שִׂ֑יחַ וְשֹׁ֖רֶשׁ רְתָמִ֣ים לַחְמָֽם׃	they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes, and the roots of the broom tree for their food.	In the brush they gathered salt herbs, and their food was the root of the broom bush.
5	מִן־ גֵּ֥ו יְגֹרָ֑שׁוּ יָרִ֥יעוּ עָ֝לֵ֗ימוֹ כַּגַּנָּֽב׃	They are driven out from human company; they shout after them as after a thief.	They were banished from human society, shouted at as if they were thieves.
6	בַּעֲר֣וּץ נְחָלִ֣ים לִשְׁכֹּ֑ן חֹרֵ֖י עָפָ֣ר וְכֵפִֽים׃	In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.	They were forced to live in the dry stream beds, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.
7	בֵּין־ שִׂיחִ֥ים יִנְהָ֑קוּ תַּ֖חַת חָר֣וּל יְסֻפָּֽחוּ׃	Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they huddle together.	They brayed among the bushes and huddled in the undergrowth.
8	בְּֽנֵי־ נָ֭בָל גַּם־ בְּנֵ֣י בְלִי־ שֵׁ֑ם נִ֝כְּא֗וּ מִן־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃	A senseless, a nameless brood, they have been whipped out of the land.	A base and nameless brood, they were driven out of the land.
9	וְ֭עַתָּה נְגִינָתָ֣ם הָיִ֑יתִי וָאֱהִ֖י לָהֶ֣ם לְמִלָּֽה׃	“And now I have become their song; I am a byword to them.	“And now those young men mock me in song; I have become a byword among them.
10	תִּֽ֭עֲבוּנִי רָ֣חֲקוּ מֶ֑נִּי וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י לֹא־ חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק׃	They abhor me; they keep aloof from me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.	They detest me and keep their distance; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
11	כִּֽי־ [יתרו] (יִתְרִ֣י) פִ֭תַּח וַיְעַנֵּ֑נִי וְ֝רֶ֗סֶן מִפָּנַ֥י שִׁלֵּֽחוּ׃	Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.	Now that God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they throw off restraint in my presence.
12	עַל־ יָמִין֮ פִּרְחַ֪ח יָ֫ק֥וּמוּ רַגְלַ֥י שִׁלֵּ֑חוּ וַיָּסֹ֥לּוּ עָ֝לַ֗י אָרְח֥וֹת אֵידָֽם׃	On my right hand the rabble rise; they push away my feet; they cast up against me their ways of destruction.	On my right the tribe attacks; they lay snares for my feet, they build their siege ramps against me.
13	נָתְס֗וּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י לְהַוָּתִ֥י יֹעִ֑ילוּ לֹ֖א עֹזֵ֣ר לָֽמוֹ׃	They break up my path; they promote my calamity; they need no one to help them.	They break up my road; they succeed in destroying me. ‘No one can help him,’ they say.
14	כְּפֶ֣רֶץ רָחָ֣ב יֶאֱתָ֑יוּ תַּ֥חַת שֹׁ֝אָ֗ה הִתְגַּלְגָּֽלוּ׃	As through a wide breach they come; amid the crash they roll on.	They advance as through a gaping breach; amid the ruins they come rolling in.
15	הָהְפַּ֥ךְ עָלַ֗י בַּלָּ֫ה֥וֹת תִּרְדֹּ֣ף כָּ֭רוּחַ נְדִבָתִ֑י וּ֝כְעָ֗ב עָבְרָ֥ה יְשֻׁעָתִֽי׃	Terrors are turned upon me; my honor is pursued as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.	Terrors overwhelm me; my dignity is driven away as by the wind, my safety vanishes like a cloud.
16	וְעַתָּ֗ה עָ֭לַי תִּשְׁתַּפֵּ֣ךְ נַפְשִׁ֑י יֹ֭אחֲז֣וּנִי יְמֵי־ עֹֽנִי׃	“And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have taken hold of me.	“And now my life ebbs away; days of suffering grip me.
17	לַ֗יְלָה עֲ֭צָמַי נִקַּ֣ר מֵעָלָ֑י וְ֝עֹרְקַ֗י לֹ֣א יִשְׁכָּבֽוּן׃	The night racks my bones, and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.	Night pierces my bones; my gnawing pains never rest.
18	בְּרָב־ כֹּ֭חַ יִתְחַפֵּ֣שׂ לְבוּשִׁ֑י כְּפִ֖י כֻתָּנְתִּ֣י יַֽאַזְרֵֽנִי׃	With great force my garment is disfigured; it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.	In his great power God becomes like clothing to me; he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19	הֹרָ֥נִי לַחֹ֑מֶר וָ֝אֶתְמַשֵּׁ֗ל כֶּעָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר׃	God has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.	He throws me into the mud, and I am reduced to dust and ashes.
20	אֲשַׁוַּ֣ע אֵ֭לֶיךָ וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֵ֑נִי עָ֝מַ֗דְתִּי וַתִּתְבֹּ֥נֶן בִּֽי׃	I cry to you for help and you do not answer me; I stand, and you only look at me.	“I cry out to you, God, but you do not answer; I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21	תֵּהָפֵ֣ךְ לְאַכְזָ֣ר לִ֑י בְּעֹ֖צֶם יָדְךָ֣ תִשְׂטְמֵֽנִי׃	You have turned cruel to me; with the might of your hand you persecute me.	You turn on me ruthlessly; with the might of your hand you attack me.
22	תִּשָּׂאֵ֣נִי אֶל־ ר֭וּחַ תַּרְכִּיבֵ֑נִי וּ֝תְמֹגְגֵ֗נִי [תשוה] (תּוּשִׁיָּֽה׃)	You lift me up on the wind; you make me ride on it, and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.	You snatch me up and drive me before the wind; you toss me about in the storm.
23	כִּֽי־ יָ֭דַעְתִּי מָ֣וֶת תְּשִׁיבֵ֑נִי וּבֵ֖ית מוֹעֵ֣ד לְכָל־ חָֽי׃	For I know that you will bring me to death and to the house appointed for all living.	I know you will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.
24	אַ֣ךְ לֹא־ בְ֭עִי יִשְׁלַח־ יָ֑ד אִם־ בְּ֝פִיד֗וֹ לָהֶ֥ן שֽׁוּעַ׃	“Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand, and in his disaster cry for help?	“Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man when he cries for help in his distress.
25	אִם־ לֹ֣א בָ֭כִיתִי לִקְשֵׁה־ י֑וֹם עָֽגְמָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י לָאֶבְיֽוֹן׃	Did not I weep for him whose day was hard? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?	Have I not wept for those in trouble? Has not my soul grieved for the poor?
26	כִּ֤י ט֣וֹב קִ֭וִּיתִי וַיָּ֣בֹא רָ֑ע וַֽאֲיַחֲלָ֥ה לְ֝א֗וֹר וַיָּ֥בֹא אֹֽפֶל׃	But when I hoped for good, evil came, and when I waited for light, darkness came.	Yet when I hoped for good, evil came; when I looked for light, then came darkness.
27	מֵעַ֖י רֻתְּח֥וּ וְלֹא־ דָ֗מּוּ קִדְּמֻ֥נִי יְמֵי־ עֹֽנִי׃	My inward parts are in turmoil and never still; days of affliction come to meet me.	The churning inside me never stops; days of suffering confront me.
28	קֹדֵ֣ר הִ֭לַּכְתִּי בְּלֹ֣א חַמָּ֑ה קַ֖מְתִּי בַקָּהָ֣ל אֲשַׁוֵּֽעַ׃	I go about darkened, but not by the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.	I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
29	אָ֭ח הָיִ֣יתִי לְתַנִּ֑ים וְ֝רֵ֗עַ לִבְנ֥וֹת יַעֲנָֽה׃	I am a brother of jackals and a companion of ostriches.	I have become a brother of jackals, a companion of owls.
30	ע֭וֹרִי שָׁחַ֣ר מֵעָלָ֑י וְעַצְמִי־ חָ֝֗רָה מִנִּי־ חֹֽרֶב׃	My skin turns black and falls from me, and my bones burn with heat.	My skin grows black and peels; my body burns with fever.
31	וַיְהִ֣י לְ֭אֵבֶל כִּנֹּרִ֑י וְ֝עֻגָבִ֗י לְק֣וֹל בֹּכִֽים׃	My lyre is turned to mourning, and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.	My lyre is tuned to mourning, and my pipe to the sound of wailing.
