| [1]לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִידִיתוּן [Q: לִידוּתוּן] מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד׃ |
[1]I thought, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth bridled, while the wicked is in my sight. |
| [2]אָמַרְתִּי אֶשְׁמְרָה דְרָכַי מֵחֲטֹוא בִלְשֹׁונִי אֶשְׁמְרָה לְפִי מַחְסֹום בְּעֹד רָשָׁע לְנֶגְדִּי׃ |
[2]I was dumb and spake nothing: I kept silence even from good, and my sorrow was more stirred. |
| [3]נֶאֱלַמְתִּי דוּמִיָּה הֶחֱשֵׁיתִי מִטֹּוב וּכְאֵבִי נֶעְכָּר׃ |
[3]Mine heart was hot within me, and while I was musing, the fire kindled, and I spake with my tongue, saying, |
| [4]חַם־לִבִּי בְּקִרְבִּי בַּהֲגִיגִי תִבְעַר־אֵשׁ דִּבַּרְתִּי בִּלְשֹׁונִי׃ |
[4]Lord, let me know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: let me know how long I have to live. |
| [5]הֹודִיעֵנִי יְהוָה קִצִּי וּמִדַּת יָמַי מַה־הִיא אֵדְעָה מֶה־חָדֵל אָנִי׃ |
[5]Behold, thou hast made my days as an hand breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of thee: surely every man in his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. |
| [6]הִנֵּה טְפָחֹות נָתַתָּה יָמַי וְחֶלְדִּי כְאַיִן נֶגְדֶּךָ אַךְ כָּל־הֶבֶל כָּל־אָדָם נִצָּב סֶלָה׃ |
[6]Doubtless man walketh in a shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain: he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them. |
| [7]אַךְ־בְּצֶלֶם יִתְהַלֶּךְ־אִישׁ אַךְ־הֶבֶל יֶהֱמָיוּן יִצְבֹּר וְלֹא־יֵדַע מִי־אֹסְפָם׃ |
[7]And now Lord, what wait I for? Mine hope is even in thee. |
| [8]וְעַתָּה מַה־קִּוִּיתִי אֲדֹנָי תֹּוחַלְתִּי לְךָ הִיא׃ |
[8]Deliver me from all my transgressions, and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish. |
| [9]מִכָּל־פְּשָׁעַי הַצִּילֵנִי חֶרְפַּת נָבָל אַל־תְּשִׂימֵנִי׃ |
[9]I should have been dumb, and not have opened my mouth, because thou didst it. |
| [10]נֶאֱלַמְתִּי לֹא אֶפְתַּח־פִּי כִּי אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ׃ |
[10]Take thy plague away from me: for I am consumed by the stroke of thine hand. |
| [11]הָסֵר מֵעָלַי נִגְעֶךָ מִתִּגְרַת יָדְךָ אֲנִי כָלִיתִי׃ |
[11]When thou with rebukes dost chastise man for iniquity, thou as a moth makest his beauty to consume: surely every man is vanity. Selah. |
| [12]בְּתֹוכָחֹות עַל־עָוֹן יִסַּרְתָּ אִישׁ וַתֶּמֶס כָּעָשׁ חֲמוּדֹו אַךְ הֶבֶל כָּל־אָדָם סֶלָה׃ |
[12]Hear my prayer, O Lord, and hearken unto my cry: keep not silence at my tears, for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers. |
| [13]שִׁמְעָה־תְפִלָּתִי יְהוָה וְשַׁוְעָתִי הַאֲזִינָה אֶל־דִּמְעָתִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ כִּי גֵר אָנֹכִי עִמָּךְ תֹּושָׁב כְּכָל־אֲבֹותָי׃ |
[13]Stay thine anger from me, that I may recover my strength, before I go hence and be not. |
| [14]הָשַׁע מִמֶּנִּי וְאַבְלִיגָה בְּטֶרֶם אֵלֵךְ וְאֵינֶנִּי׃ |
