Chapter 141
1מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד יְהֹוָה קְרָאתִיךָ חוּשָׁה לִּי הַאֲזִינָה קוֹלִי בְּקׇרְאִי־לָֽךְA psalm of David. I call You, O ETERNAL One, hasten to me; give ear to my cry when I call You.Mizmor ledavid Adonai keraticha chushah li haazinah koli bekori-lach
2תִּכּוֹן תְּפִלָּתִי קְטֹרֶת לְפָנֶיךָ מַֽשְׂאַת כַּפַּי מִנְחַת־עָֽרֶבTake my prayer as an offering of incense, my upraised hands as an evening sacrifice.Tikon tefilati ketoret lefaneycha masat kapay minchat-arev
3שִׁיתָה יְהֹוָה שׇׁמְרָה לְפִי נִצְּרָה עַל־דַּל שְׂפָתָֽיO ETERNAL One, set a guard over my mouth, a watch at the door of my lips;Shitah Adonai shomrah lefi nitzrah al-dal sefatay
4אַל־תַּט־לִבִּי לְדָבָר רָע לְהִתְעוֹלֵל עֲלִלוֹת בְּרֶשַׁע אֶת־אִישִׁים פֹּעֲלֵי־אָוֶן וּבַל־אֶלְחַם בְּמַנְעַמֵּיהֶֽםlet my mind not turn to an evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with those evildoers; let me not feast on their dainties.Al-tat-libi ledavar ra lehitolel alilot beresha et-ishim poaley-aven uval-elcham bemanameyhem
5יֶהֶלְמֵֽנִי־צַדִּיק חֶסֶד וְֽיוֹכִיחֵנִי שֶׁמֶן רֹאשׁ אַל־יָנִי רֹאשִׁי כִּי־עוֹד וּתְפִלָּתִי בְּרָעוֹתֵיהֶֽםLet someone righteous strike me in loyalty and reprove me; let my head not refuse such choice oil. My prayers are still against their evil deeds.Yehelmeni-tzadik chesed veyochicheni shemen rosh al-yani roshi ki-od utfilati beraoteyhem
6נִשְׁמְטוּ בִֽידֵי־סֶלַע שֹׁפְטֵיהֶם וְשָׁמְעוּ אֲמָרַי כִּי נָעֵֽמוּMay their judges slip on the rock, but let my words be heard, for they are sweet.Nishmtu videy-sela shofteyhem veshamu amaray ki naemu
7כְּמוֹ פֹלֵחַ וּבֹקֵעַ בָּאָרֶץ נִפְזְרוּ עֲצָמֵינוּ לְפִי שְׁאֽוֹלAs when the earth is cleft and broken up our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.Kemo folecha uvokea baaretz nifzru atzameynu lefi sheol
8כִּי אֵלֶיךָ יֱהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֵינָי בְּכָה חָסִיתִי אַל־תְּעַר נַפְשִֽׁיMy eyes are fixed upon You, O GOD my Sovereign; I seek refuge in You, do not put me in jeopardy.Ki eleycha yehovi adonay eynay bechah chasiti al-tear nafshi
9שׇׁמְרֵנִי מִידֵי פַח יָקְשׁוּ לִי וּמֹקְשׁוֹת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶןKeep me from the trap laid for me, and from the snares of evildoers.Shomreni midey fach yakshu li umokshot poaley aven
10יִפְּלוּ בְמַכְמֹרָיו רְשָׁעִים יַחַד אָנֹכִי עַֽד־אֶעֱבֽוֹרLet the wicked fall into their nets while I alone come through.Yiplu vemachmorayv reshaim yachad anochi ad-eevor
