Lexicon :: Strong's H7355 - rāḥam

For the choir director. Of the servant of Yahweh, of David, [fn]who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

He said, “I love ^H7355 You, O Yahweh ^H3068, my strength ^H2391.”

You will arise ^H6965 and have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 Zion ^H6726—

For it is time ^H6256 to be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to it,

For the appointed ^H4150 time ^H4150 has come ^H935.

As a father ^H1 has ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on his children ^H1121,

So Yahweh ^H3068 has ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on those who [fn]fear ^H3372 Him.

Gracious ^H2587 is Yahweh ^H3068, and righteous ^H6662;

And our God ^H430 is compassionate ^H7355.

He who conceals ^H3680 his transgressions ^H6588 will not prosper ^H6743,

But he who confesses ^H3034 and forsakes ^H5800 them will receive ^H7355 compassion ^H7355.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the Lord ^H136 is not glad ^H8055 in their choice ^H970 men ^H970,

Nor ^H3808 does He have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 their [fn]orphans ^H3490 or their widows ^H490;

For every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of them is godless ^H2611 and an evildoer ^H7489,

And every ^H3605 mouth ^H6310 is speaking ^H1696 wicked ^H5039 foolishness ^H5039.

In spite of all ^H3605 this ^H2088, His anger ^H639 does not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725,

And His hand ^H3027 is still ^H5750 stretched ^H5186 out ^H5186.

And their bows ^H7198 will dash ^H7376 the young ^H5288 men ^H5288 to ^H7376 pieces ^H7376,

They will not even have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the fruit ^H6529 of the womb ^H990,

Nor will their eye ^H5869 pity ^H2347 [fn]children ^H1121.

When ^H3588 Yahweh ^H3068 will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 Jacob ^H3290 and again ^H5750 choose ^H977 Israel ^H3478, and [fn]put ^H5117 them in their own land ^H127, then sojourners ^H1616 will join ^H3867 them and attach ^H5596 themselves to the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290.

When its limbs ^H7105 are ^H3001 dry ^H3001, they are broken ^H7665 off;

Women ^H802 come ^H935 and light ^H215 a ^H215 fire ^H215 with them,

For they are not a people ^H5971 of discernment ^H998,

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 their Maker ^H6213 will not have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 them.

And their Creator ^H3335 will not be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to them.

Therefore ^H3651 Yahweh ^H3068 waits ^H7311 with longing to be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to you,

And therefore ^H3651 He is on ^H7311 high ^H7311 to have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you.

For Yahweh ^H3068 is a God ^H430 of justice ^H4941;

How blessed ^H835 are all ^H3605 those who wait ^H2442 for Him.

“They will not hunger ^H7456 or thirst ^H6770,

Nor ^H3808 will the scorching ^H8273 heat ^H8273 or sun ^H8121 strike ^H5221 them down ^H5221;

For He who has ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 them will guide ^H5090 them

And will lead ^H5095 them to springs ^H4002 of water ^H4325.

Shout ^H7442 for ^H7442 joy ^H7442, O heavens ^H8064! And rejoice ^H1523, O earth ^H776!

Break ^H6476 forth ^H6476 into joyful ^H7440 shouting ^H7440, O mountains ^H2022!

For Yahweh ^H3068 has comforted ^H5162 His people ^H5971

And will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 His afflicted ^H6041.

“Can a woman ^H802 forget ^H7911 her infant ^H5764

And have ^H7355 no ^H4480 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the son ^H1121 of her womb ^H990?

Even ^H1571 these ^H428 may forget ^H7911, but I will not forget ^H7911 you.

“In [fn]a flood ^H7858 of fury ^H7110

I hid ^H5641 My face ^H6440 from you for a moment ^H7281,

But with everlasting ^H5769 lovingkindness ^H2617 I will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you,”

Says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 your Redeemer ^H1350.

“For the mountains ^H2022 may be removed ^H4185 and the hills ^H1389 may shake ^H4131,

But My lovingkindness ^H2617 will not be removed ^H4185 from you,

And My covenant ^H1285 of peace ^H7965 will not be shaken ^H4131,”

Says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 who has ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you.

Let the wicked ^H7563 forsake ^H5800 his way ^H1870

And the unrighteous ^H205 man ^H376 his thoughts ^H4284;

And let him return ^H7725 to Yahweh ^H3068,

And He will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 him,

And to our God ^H430,

For He will abundantly ^H7235 pardon ^H5545.

“Foreigners ^H1121 will build ^H1129 up ^H1129 your walls ^H2346,

And their kings ^H4428 will minister ^H8334 to you;

For in My wrath ^H7110 I struck ^H5221 you,

And in My favor ^H7522 I have had ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you.

“They take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of bow ^H7198 and spear ^H3591;

They are cruel ^H394 and have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355;

Their voice ^H6963 roars ^H1993 like the sea ^H3220,

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Arranged ^H6186 as a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

Against ^H5921 you, O daughter ^H1323 of Zion ^H6726!”

“Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

‘Behold ^H2009, I will [fn]return ^H7725 the [fn]fortunes ^H7622 of the tents ^H168 of Jacob ^H3290

And have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 his dwelling ^H4908 places ^H4908;

And the city ^H5892 will be rebuilt ^H1129 on its ruin ^H8510,

And the palace ^H759 will sit ^H3427 on its just ^H4941 place ^H4941.

“Is Ephraim ^H669 My dear ^H3357 son ^H1121?

Is he a delightful ^H8191 child ^H3206?

Indeed ^H3588, as often ^H1767 as I have spoken ^H1696 against him,

I certainly ^H2142 still remember ^H2142 him;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 My [fn]inmost ^H4578 being ^H4578 yearns ^H1993 for him;

I will surely ^H7355 have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 him,” declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.

“They seize ^H2388 their bow ^H7198 and [fn]javelin ^H3591;

They are cruel ^H394 and have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355.

Their voice ^H6963 roars ^H1993 like the sea ^H3220;

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Arranged ^H6186 like a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

Against ^H5921 you, O daughter ^H1323 of Babylon ^H894.

For if ^H518 He causes ^H3013 grief ^H3013,

Then He will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355

According to His abundant ^H7230 lovingkindness ^H2617.

Therefore ^H3651 thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068, “Now ^H6258 I will return ^H7725 the [fn]fortunes ^H7622 of Jacob ^H3290 and have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the whole ^H3605 house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478; and I will be ^H7065 jealous ^H7065 for My holy ^H6944 name ^H8034.

Then she conceived ^H2029 again ^H5750 and gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to a daughter ^H1323. And [fn]Yahweh said ^H559 to him, “Name ^H7121 H8034 her [fn]Lo-ruhamah ^H3819, for I will no ^H3808 longer ^H3254 H5750 have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478, that I would ever ^H5375 forgive ^H5375 them.

[fn]Say ^H559 to your brothers ^H251, “[fn]Ammi ^H5971,” and to your sisters ^H269, “[fn]Ruhamah ^H7355.”

“Also, I will have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 her children ^H1121

Because ^H3588 they are children ^H1121 of harlotry ^H2183.

“And I will sow ^H2232 her for Myself in the land ^H776.

I will also have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 [fn]her who had not obtained ^H7355 compassion ^H7355,

And I will say ^H559 to [fn]those who were not My people ^H5971,

‘You are My people ^H5971!’

And [fn]they will say ^H559, ‘You are my God ^H430!’”

“Assyria ^H804 will not save ^H3467 us;

We will not ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Nor ^H3808 will we say ^H559 again ^H5750, ‘Our god ^H430,’

To the work ^H4639 of our hands ^H3027;

For in You the [fn]orphan ^H3490 finds ^H7355 compassion ^H7355.”

He will again ^H7725 have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 us;

He will subdue ^H3533 our iniquities ^H5771.

And You will cast ^H7993 all ^H3605 [fn]their sins ^H2403

Into the depths ^H4688 of the sea ^H3220.

O Yahweh ^H3068, I have heard ^H8085 [fn]the report ^H8088 about You, and [fn]I fear ^H3372.

O Yahweh ^H3068, revive ^H2421 Your work ^H6467 in the midst ^H7130 of the years ^H8141;

In the midst ^H7130 of the years ^H8141 make ^H3045 it known ^H3045;

In rage ^H7267 remember ^H2142 compassion ^H7355.

Then the angel ^H4397 of Yahweh ^H3068 answered ^H6030 and said ^H559, “O Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, how ^H4970 long ^H5704 H4970 will You have ^H7355 no ^H3808 compassion ^H7355 for ^H7355 Jerusalem ^H3389 and the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, with which ^H834 You have been ^H2194 indignant ^H2194 these ^H2088 seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141?”

“I will make the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063 mighty ^H1396,

And I will save ^H3467 the house ^H1004 of Joseph ^H3130,

And I will [fn]cause ^H7725 them to return ^H7725,

Because ^H3588 I have ^H7355 had compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 them;

And they will be as though ^H834 I had not rejected ^H2186 them,

For I am Yahweh ^H3068 their God ^H430, and I will answer ^H6030 them.
