To the chief MusicianH5329 upon MahalathH4257, MaschilH4905, A Psalm of DavidH1732. The foolH5036 hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, There is no GodH430. CorruptH7843 are they, and have done abominableH8581 iniquityH5766: there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896.
GodH430 looked downH8259 from heavenH8064 upon the childrenH1121 of menH120, to seeH7200 if there wereH3426 any that did understandH7919, that did seekH1875 GodH430.
Every one of them is gone backH5472: they are altogetherH3162 become filthyH444; there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896, no, not oneH259.
Have the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 no knowledgeH3045? who eat upH398 my peopleH5971 as they eatH398 breadH3899: they have not calledH7121 upon GodH430.
There were they in greatH6343 fearH6342, where no fearH6343 was: for GodH430 hath scatteredH6340 the bonesH6106 of him that encampethH2583 against thee: thou hast put them to shameH954, because GodH430 hath despisedH3988 them. {were…: Heb. they feared a fear}
Oh thatH5414 the salvationH3444 of IsraelH3478 were come out of ZionH6726! When GodH430 bringeth backH7725 the captivityH7622 of his peopleH5971, JacobH3290 shall rejoiceH1523, and IsraelH3478 shall be gladH8055. {Oh that…: Heb. Who will give salvation, etc}
Querverweise zu Psalm 53,5 Ps 53,5
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against you, and ye shall be slainH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341: they that hateH8130 you shall reignH7287 over you; and ye shall fleeH5127 when none pursuethH7291 you.
There were they in greatH6343 fearH6342: for GodH430 is in the generationH1755 of the righteousH6662. {were…: Heb. they feared a fear}
Our bonesH6106 are scatteredH6340 at the grave'sH7585 mouthH6310, as when one cuttethH6398 and cleavethH1234 wood upon the earthH776.
Let them be confoundedH954 and put to shameH3637 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315: let them be turnedH5472 backH268 and brought to confusionH2659 that deviseH2803 my hurtH7451.
He that sittethH3427 in the heavensH8064 shall laughH7832: the LordH136 shall have them in derisionH3932.
And upon them that are leftH7604 alive of you I will sendH935 a faintnessH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH341; and the soundH6963 of a shakenH5086 leafH5929 shall chaseH7291 them; and they shall fleeH5127, as fleeingH4499 from a swordH2719; and they shall fallH5307 when none pursuethH7291. {shaken: Heb. driven}
And I will layH5414 the dead carcasesH6297 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 their idolsH1544; and I will scatterH2219 your bonesH6106 round aboutH5439 your altarsH4196. {lay: Heb. give}
Let them be ashamedH954 and brought to confusionH2659 togetherH3162 that rejoiceH8056 at mine hurtH7451: let them be clothedH3847 with shameH1322 and dishonourH3639 that magnifyH1431 themselves against me.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
And among theseH1992 nationsH1471 shalt thou find no easeH7280, neither shall the soleH3709 of thy footH7272 have restH4494: but the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 thee there a tremblingH7268 heartH3820, and failingH3631 of eyesH5869, and sorrowH1671 of mindH5315:
And thy lifeH2416 shall hangH8511 in doubt beforeH5048 thee; and thou shalt fearH6342 dayH3119 and nightH3915, and shalt have none assuranceH539 of thy lifeH2416:
In the morningH1242 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 evenH6153! and at evenH6153 thou shalt sayH559, Would God it wereH5414 morningH1242! for the fearH6343 of thine heartH3824 wherewith thou shalt fearH6342, and for the sightH4758 of thine eyesH5869 which thou shalt seeH7200.
The handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and carried me outH3318 in the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and set me downH5117 in the midstH8432 of the valleyH1237 which was fullH4392 of bonesH6106,
And caused me to passH5674 by them round aboutH5439: and, behold, there were veryH3966 manyH7227 in the openH6440 valleyH1237; and, lo, they were veryH3966 dryH3002. {valley: or, champaign}
And he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, can these bonesH6106 liveH2421? And I answeredH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, thou knowestH3045.
Again he saidH559 unto me, ProphesyH5012 upon these bonesH6106, and sayH559 unto them, O ye dryH3002 bonesH6106, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto these bonesH6106; Behold, I will cause breathH7307 to enterH935 into you, and ye shall liveH2421:
And I will layH5414 sinewsH1517 upon you, and will bring upH5927 fleshH1320 upon you, and coverH7159 you with skinH5785, and putH5414 breathH7307 in you, and ye shall liveH2421; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
So I prophesiedH5012 as I was commandedH6680: and as I prophesiedH5012, there was a noiseH6963, and behold a shakingH7494, and the bonesH6106 came togetherH7126, boneH6106 to his boneH6106.
And when I beheldH7200, lo, the sinewsH1517 and the fleshH1320 came upH5927 upon them, and the skinH5785 coveredH7159 them aboveH4605: but there was no breathH7307 in them.
Then saidH559 he unto me, ProphesyH5012 unto the windH7307, prophesyH5012, sonH1121 of manH120, and sayH559 to the windH7307, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; ComeH935 from the fourH702 windsH7307, O breathH7307, and breatheH5301 upon these slainH2026, that they may liveH2421. {wind: or, breath}
So I prophesiedH5012 as he commandedH6680 me, and the breathH7307 cameH935 into them, and they livedH2421, and stood upH5975 upon their feetH7272, an exceedingH3966+H3966 greatH1419 armyH2428.
Then he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, these bonesH6106 are the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: behold, they sayH559, Our bonesH6106 are driedH3001, and our hopeH8615 is lostH6: we are cut offH1504 for our parts.
Let them be ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659 togetherH3162 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315 to destroyH5595 it; let them be drivenH5472 backwardH268 and put to shameH3637 that wishH2655 me evilH7451.
This is the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, hath despisedH959 thee, and laughed thee to scorn;H3932 the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
ByH3027 thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, By the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedarsH730 thereof, and the choiceH4005 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the heightH4791 of his borderH7093, and the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760. {By thy…: Heb. By the hand of thy servants} {the tall…: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereof} {the forest…: or, the forest and his fruitful field}
I have diggedH6979, and drunkH8354 waterH4325; and with the soleH3709 of my feetH6471 have I dried upH2717 all the riversH2975 of the besieged placesH4693. {besieged: or, fenced and closed}
Hast thou not heardH8085 long agoH7350, how I have doneH6213 it; and of ancientH6924 timesH3117, that I have formedH3335 it? now have I broughtH935 it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay wasteH7582 defencedH1219 citiesH5892 into ruinousH5327 heapsH1530. {Hast…: or, Hast thou not heard how I have made it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? should I now bring it to be laid waste, and defenced cities to be ruinous heaps?}
Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954: they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as corn blastedH7709 beforeH6440 it be grown upH7054. {of small…: Heb. short of hand}
But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me. {abode: or, sitting}
Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, Ye shall eatH398 this yearH8141 such as growethH5599 of itself; and the secondH8145 yearH8141 that which springethH7823 of the same: and in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 sowH2232 ye, and reapH7114, and plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof.
And the remnantH7604 that is escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 shall againH3254 take rootH8328 downwardH4295, and bearH6213 fruitH6529 upwardH4605: {the remnant…: Heb. the escaping of the house of Judah that remaineth}
For out of JerusalemH3389 shall go forthH3318 a remnantH7611, and they that escapeH6413 out of mountH2022 ZionH6726: the zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall doH6213 this. {they…: Heb. the escaping}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, He shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, nor shootH3384 an arrowH2671 there, nor come beforeH6923 it with shieldsH4043, nor castH8210 a bankH5550 against it.
By the wayH1870 that he cameH935, by the same shall he returnH7725, and shall not comeH935 into this cityH5892, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 went forthH3318, and smoteH5221 in the campH4264 of the AssyriansH804 a hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 thousandH505: and when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, they were all deadH4191 corpsesH6297.
So SennacheribH5576 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 departedH5265, and wentH3212 and returnedH7725, and dweltH3427 at NinevehH5210.
And it came to pass, as he was worshippingH7812 in the houseH1004 of NisrochH5268 his godH430, that AdrammelechH152 and SharezerH8272 his sonsH1121 smoteH5221 him with the swordH2719; and they escapedH4422 into the landH776 of ArmeniaH780: and EsarhaddonH634 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Armenia: Heb. Ararat}
And there was tremblingH2731 in the hostH4264, in the fieldH7704, and among all the peopleH5971: the garrisonH4673, and the spoilersH7843, they also trembledH2729, and the earthH776 quakedH7264: so it was a very greatH430 tremblingH2731. {a very…: Heb. a trembling of God}
ReprobateH3988 silverH3701 shall men callH7121 them, because the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them. {Reprobate…: or, Refuse silver}
For the LordH136 had made the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758 to hearH8085 a noiseH6963 of chariotsH7393, and a noiseH6963 of horsesH5483, even the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 hostH2428: and they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Lo, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 hath hiredH7936 against us the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 upon us.
Let them be confoundedH954 and troubledH926 for everH5703; yea, let them be put to shameH2659, and perishH6:
And he hath violently taken awayH2554 his tabernacleH7900, as if it were of a gardenH1588: he hath destroyedH7843 his places of the assemblyH4150: the LORDH3068 hath caused the solemn feastsH4150 and sabbathsH7676 to be forgottenH7911 in ZionH6726, and hath despisedH5006 in the indignationH2195 of his angerH639 the kingH4428 and the priestH3548. {tabernacle: or, hedge}
Wherefore they aroseH6965 and fledH5127 in the twilightH5399, and leftH5800 their tentsH168, and their horsesH5483, and their assesH2543, even the campH4264 as it was, and fledH5127 for their lifeH5315.
