מִי יִתֵּן׀ בִּשְׁאוֹל תַּצְפִּנֵנִי תַּסְתִּירֵנִי עַד-שׁוּב אַפֶּךָ תָּשִׁית לִי חֹק וְתִזְכְּרֵֽנִי׃
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
רוּחִי חֻבָּלָה יָמַי נִזְעָכוּ קְבָרִים לִֽי׃
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
אִם-אֲקַוֶּה שְׁאוֹל בֵּיתִי בַּחֹשֶׁךְ רִפַּדְתִּי יְצוּעָֽי׃
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
בַּדֵּי שְׁאֹל תֵּרַדְנָה אִם-יַחַד עַל-עָפָר נָֽחַת׃
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
(יבלו) יְכַלּוּ בַטּוֹב יְמֵיהֶם וּבְרֶגַע שְׁאוֹל יֵחָֽתּוּ׃
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
וְהוּא לִקְבָרוֹת יוּבָל וְֽעַל-גָּדִישׁ יִשְׁקֽוֹד׃
Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
צִיָּה גַם-חֹם יִגְזְלוּ מֵֽימֵי-שֶׁלֶג שְׁאוֹל חָטָֽאוּ׃
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
עָרוֹם שְׁאוֹל נֶגְדּוֹ וְאֵין כְּסוּת לָֽאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
כִּי אֵין בְּפִיהוּ נְכוֹנָה קִרְבָּם הַוּוֹת קֶֽבֶר-פָּתוּחַ גְּרוֹנָם לְשׁוֹנָם יַחֲלִֽיקוּן׃
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
כִּי אֵין בַּמָּוֶת זִכְרֶךָ בִּשְׁאוֹל מִי יֽוֹדֶה-לָּֽךְ׃
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
יָשׁוּבוּ רְשָׁעִים לִשְׁאוֹלָה כָּל-גּוֹיִם שְׁכֵחֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
כִּי׀ לֹא-תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹֽא-תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָֽׁחַת׃
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
חֶבְלֵי שְׁאוֹל סְבָבוּנִי קִדְּמוּנִי מוֹקְשֵׁי מָֽוֶת׃
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
יְֽהוָה הֶֽעֱלִיתָ מִן-שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי חִיִּיתַנִי מִיָּֽרְדִי-בֽוֹר׃
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
יְֽהוָה אַל-אֵבוֹשָׁה כִּי קְרָאתִיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ רְשָׁעִים יִדְּמוּ לִשְׁאֽוֹל׃
Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
כַּצֹּאן׀ לִֽשְׁאוֹל שַׁתּוּ מָוֶת יִרְעֵם וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים׀ לַבֹּקֶר וְצוּרָם לְבַלּוֹת שְׁאוֹל מִזְּבֻל לֽוֹ׃
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
אַךְ-אֱלֹהִים יִפְדֶּה נַפְשִׁי מִֽיַּד-שְׁאוֹל כִּי יִקָּחֵנִי סֶֽלָה׃
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
עָלֵימוֹ יֵרְדוּ שְׁאוֹל חַיִּים כִּֽי-רָעוֹת בִּמְגוּרָם בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
כִּֽי-חַסְדְּךָ גָּדוֹל עָלָי וְהִצַּלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּיָּֽה׃
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
כִּֽי-שָֽׂבְעָה בְרָעוֹת נַפְשִׁי וְחַיַּי לִשְׁאוֹל הִגִּֽיעוּ׃
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
בַּמֵּתִים חָפְשִׁי כְּמוֹ חֲלָלִים׀ שֹׁכְבֵי קֶבֶר אֲשֶׁר לֹא זְכַרְתָּם עוֹד וְהֵמָּה מִיָּדְךָ נִגְזָֽרוּ׃
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
הַיְסֻפַּר בַּקֶּבֶר חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ בָּאֲבַדּֽוֹן׃
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
מִי גֶבֶר יִֽחְיֶה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה-מָּוֶת יְמַלֵּט נַפְשׁוֹ מִיַּד-שְׁאוֹל סֶֽלָה׃
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
אֲפָפוּנִי׀ חֶבְלֵי-מָוֶת וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִי צָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
אִם-אֶסַּק שָׁמַיִם שָׁם אָתָּה וְאַצִּיעָה שְּׁאוֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ׃
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
כְּמוֹ פֹלֵחַ וּבֹקֵעַ בָּאָרֶץ נִפְזְרוּ עֲצָמֵינוּ לְפִי שְׁאֽוֹל׃
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
נִבְלָעֵם כִּשְׁאוֹל חַיִּים וּתְמִימִים כְּיוֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
רַגְלֶיהָ יֹרְדוֹת מָוֶת שְׁאוֹל צְעָדֶיהָ יִתְמֹֽכוּ׃
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
דַּרְכֵי שְׁאוֹל בֵּיתָהּ יֹרְדוֹת אֶל-חַדְרֵי-מָֽוֶת׃
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
וְֽלֹא-יָדַע כִּֽי-רְפָאִים שָׁם בְּעִמְקֵי שְׁאוֹל קְרֻאֶֽיהָ׃
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
שְׁאוֹל וַאֲבַדּוֹן נֶגֶד יְהוָה אַף כִּֽי-לִבּוֹת בְּֽנֵי-אָדָֽם׃
Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
אֹרַח חַיִּים לְמַעְלָה לְמַשְׂכִּיל לְמַעַן סוּר מִשְּׁאוֹל מָֽטָּה׃
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
אַתָּה בַּשֵּׁבֶט תַּכֶּנּוּ וְנַפְשׁוֹ מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּצִּֽיל׃
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
שְׁאוֹל (ואבדה) וַאֲבַדּוֹ לֹא תִשְׂבַּעְנָה וְעֵינֵי הָאָדָם לֹא תִשְׂבַּֽעְנָה׃
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
שְׁאוֹל וְעֹצֶר רָחַם אֶרֶץ לֹא-שָׂבְעָה מַּיִם וְאֵשׁ לֹא-אָמְרָה הֽוֹן׃
The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצָא יָֽדְךָ לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּכֹחֲךָ עֲשֵׂה כִּי אֵין מַעֲשֶׂה וְחֶשְׁבּוֹן וְדַעַת וְחָכְמָה בִּשְׁאוֹל אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה הֹלֵךְ שָֽׁמָּה׃
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
שִׂימֵנִי כַֽחוֹתָם עַל-לִבֶּךָ כַּֽחוֹתָם עַל-זְרוֹעֶךָ כִּֽי-עַזָּה כַמָּוֶת אַהֲבָה קָשָׁה כִשְׁאוֹל קִנְאָה רְשָׁפֶיהָ רִשְׁפֵּי אֵשׁ שַׁלְהֶבֶתְ יָֽה׃
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
לָכֵן הִרְחִיבָה שְּׁאוֹל נַפְשָׁהּ וּפָעֲרָה פִיהָ לִבְלִי-חֹק וְיָרַד הֲדָרָהּ וַהֲמוֹנָהּ וּשְׁאוֹנָהּ וְעָלֵז בָּֽהּ׃
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
שְׁאַל-לְךָ אוֹת מֵעִם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַעְמֵק שְׁאָלָה אוֹ הַגְבֵּהַּ לְמָֽעְלָה׃
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
שְׁאוֹל מִתַּחַת רָגְזָה לְךָ לִקְרַאת בּוֹאֶךָ עוֹרֵר לְךָ רְפָאִים כָּל-עַתּוּדֵי אָרֶץ הֵקִים מִכִּסְאוֹתָם כֹּל מַלְכֵי גוֹיִֽם׃
Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.
הוּרַד שְׁאוֹל גְאוֹנֶךָ הֶמְיַת נְבָלֶיךָ תַּחְתֶּיךָ יֻצַּע רִמָּה וּמְכַסֶּיךָ תּוֹלֵעָֽה׃
Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
אַךְ אֶל-שְׁאוֹל תּוּרָד אֶל-יַרְכְּתֵי-בֽוֹר׃
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
וְאַתָּה הָשְׁלַכְתָּ מִֽקִּבְרְךָ כְּנֵצֶר נִתְעָב לְבֻשׁ הֲרֻגִים מְטֹעֲנֵי חָרֶב יוֹרְדֵי אֶל-אַבְנֵי-בוֹר כְּפֶגֶר מוּבָֽס׃
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
מַה-לְּךָ פֹה וּמִי לְךָ פֹה כִּֽי-חָצַבְתָּ לְּךָ פֹּה קָבֶר חֹצְבִי מָרוֹם קִבְרוֹ חֹקְקִי בַסֶּלַע מִשְׁכָּן לֽוֹ׃
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?
כִּי אֲמַרְתֶּם כָּרַתְנֽוּ בְרִית אֶת-מָוֶת וְעִם-שְׁאוֹל עָשִׂינוּ חֹזֶה (שיט) שׁוֹט שׁוֹטֵף כִּֽי-(עבר) יַֽעֲבֹר לֹא יְבוֹאֵנוּ כִּי שַׂמְנוּ כָזָב מַחְסֵנוּ וּבַשֶּׁקֶר נִסְתָּֽרְנוּ׃
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
וְכֻפַּר בְּרִֽיתְכֶם אֶת-מָוֶת וְחָזוּתְכֶם אֶת-שְׁאוֹל לֹא תָקוּם שׁוֹט שׁוֹטֵף כִּי יַֽעֲבֹר וִהְיִיתֶם לוֹ לְמִרְמָֽס׃
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
