Lexicon :: Strong's H7355 - rāḥam

For the music director. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, [fn]who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,

“I love ^H7355 You, LORD ^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 her,

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

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

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

Gracious ^H2587 is the LORD ^H3068, and righteous ^H6662;

Yes, our God ^H430 is compassionate ^H7355.

One who conceals ^H3680 his wrongdoings ^H6588 will not prosper ^H6743,

But one who confesses ^H3034 and abandons ^H5800 them will find ^H7355 compassion ^H7355.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the Lord ^H136 does not rejoice ^H8055 over ^H8055 their young ^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 foolishness ^H5039.

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

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

And their bows ^H7198 will [fn]mow ^H7376 down ^H7376 the young ^H5288 men ^H5288,

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 the LORD ^H3068 has ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 Jacob ^H3290 and again ^H5750 chooses ^H977 Israel ^H3478, and settles ^H5117 them on their own land ^H127, then strangers ^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 make ^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 the LORD ^H3068 [fn]longs ^H2442 to be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to you,

And therefore ^H3651 He [fn]waits ^H7311 on ^H7311 high ^H7311 to have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you.

For the LORD ^H3068 is a God ^H430 of justice ^H4941;

How blessed ^H835 are all ^H3605 those who [fn]long ^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 lead ^H5090 them,

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

“In an [fn]outburst ^H7858 of anger ^H7110

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

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

Says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 your Redeemer ^H1350.

Let the wicked ^H7563 abandon ^H5800 his way ^H1870,

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

And let him return ^H7725 to the LORD ^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 serve ^H8334 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 seize ^H2388 bow ^H7198 and spear ^H3591;

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

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

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Lined ^H6186 up ^H6186 as a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

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

“This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

‘Behold ^H2009, I will restore ^H7725 the fortunes ^H7622 of the tents ^H168 of Jacob ^H3290

And have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 his dwellings ^H4908;

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

And the palace ^H759 will stand ^H3427 on its rightful ^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]heart ^H4578 yearns ^H1993 for him;

I will certainly ^H7355 have ^H7355 mercy ^H7355 on ^H7355 him,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

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

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

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

And they ride ^H7392 on horses ^H5483,

Drawn ^H6186 up ^H6186 like a man ^H376 for the battle ^H4421

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

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

Then He will have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355

In proportion to His abundant ^H7230 mercy ^H2617.

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Now ^H6258 I will restore ^H7725 the fortunes ^H7622 of Jacob ^H3290 and have ^H7355 mercy ^H7355 on ^H7355 all ^H3605 the 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]the LORD said ^H559 to him, “Name ^H7121 H8034 her [fn]Lo-ruhamah ^H3819, for I will no ^H3808 longer ^H3254 H5750 take ^H7355 pity ^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.”

“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 mercy ^H7355.”

He will again ^H7725 take ^H7355 pity ^H7355 on ^H7355 us;

He will trample ^H3533 on our wrongdoings ^H5771.

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

Into the depths ^H4688 of the sea ^H3220.

LORD ^H3068, I have heard ^H8085 [fn]the report ^H8088 about You, and [fn]I was ^H3372 afraid ^H3372.

LORD ^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 anger ^H7267 remember ^H2142 [fn]mercy ^H7355.

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

“And I will strengthen ^H1396 the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063,

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

And I will [fn]bring ^H7725 them back ^H7725,

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

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

For I am the LORD ^H3068 their God ^H430 and I will answer ^H6030 them.
