Chapter 143
1מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד יְהֹוָה שְׁמַע תְּפִלָּתִי הַאֲזִינָה אֶל־תַּחֲנוּנַי בֶּאֱמֻנָתְךָ עֲנֵנִי בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָA psalm of David. O ETERNAL One, hear my prayer; give ear to my plea, as You are faithful; answer me, as You are beneficent.Mizmor ledavid Adonai shema tefilati haazinah el-tachanunay beemunatcha aneni betzidkatecha
2וְאַל־תָּבוֹא בְמִשְׁפָּט אֶת־עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי לֹֽא־יִצְדַּק לְפָנֶיךָ כׇל־חָֽיDo not enter into judgment with Your servant, for before You no creature is in the right.Veal-tavo vemishpat et-avdecha ki lo-yitzdak lefaneycha chol-chay
3כִּי רָדַף אוֹיֵב נַפְשִׁי דִּכָּא לָאָרֶץ חַיָּתִי הוֹשִׁבַנִי בְמַחֲשַׁכִּים כְּמֵתֵי עוֹלָֽםMy foe hounded me; he crushed me to the ground; he made me dwell in darkness like those long dead.Ki radaf oyev nafshi dika laaretz chayati hoshivani vemachashakim kemetey olam
4וַתִּתְעַטֵּף עָלַי רוּחִי בְּתוֹכִי יִשְׁתּוֹמֵם לִבִּֽיMy spirit failed within me; my mind was numbed with horror.Vatitatef alay ruchi betochi yishtomem libi
5זָכַרְתִּי יָמִים מִקֶּדֶם הָגִיתִי בְכׇל־פׇּעֳלֶךָ בְּֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ אֲשׂוֹחֵֽחַThen I thought of the days of old; I rehearsed all Your deeds, recounted the work of Your hands.Zacharti yamim mikedem hagiti vechol-poolecha bemaaseh yadeycha asochecha
6פֵּרַשְׂתִּי יָדַי אֵלֶיךָ נַפְשִׁי כְּאֶרֶץ־עֲיֵפָה לְךָ סֶֽלָהI stretched out my hands to You, longing for You like thirsty earth. Selah.Perasti yaday eleycha nafshi keeretz-ayefah lecha selah
7מַהֵר עֲנֵנִי יְהֹוָה כָּלְתָה רוּחִי אַל־תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי וְנִמְשַׁלְתִּי עִם־יֹרְדֵי בֽוֹרAnswer me quickly, O ETERNAL One; my spirit can endure no more. Do not hide Your face from me, or I shall become like those who descend into the Pit.Maher aneni Adonai kaltah ruchi al-taster paneycha mimeni venimshalti im-yordey vor
8הַשְׁמִיעֵנִי בַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ כִּֽי־בְךָ בָטָחְתִּי הוֹדִיעֵנִי דֶּרֶךְ־זוּ אֵלֵךְ כִּי־אֵלֶיךָ נָשָׂאתִי נַפְשִֽׁיLet me learn of Your faithfulness by daybreak, for in You I trust; let me know the road I must take, for on You I have set my hope.Hashmieni vaboker chasdecha ki-vecha vatachti hodieni derech-zu elech ki-eleycha nasati nafshi
9הַצִּילֵנִי מֵאֹיְבַי יְהֹוָה אֵלֶיךָ כִסִּֽתִיSave me from my foes, O ETERNAL One; to You I look for cover.Hatzileni meoyvay Adonai eleycha chisiti
10לַמְּדֵנִי לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנֶךָ כִּֽי־אַתָּה אֱלוֹהָי רוּחֲךָ טוֹבָה תַּנְחֵנִי בְּאֶרֶץ מִישֽׁוֹרTeach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Let Your gracious spirit lead me on level ground.Lamdeni laasot retzonecha ki-atah elohay ruchacha tovah tancheni beeretz mishor
11לְמַעַן־שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה תְּחַיֵּנִי בְּצִדְקָתְךָ תּוֹצִיא מִצָּרָה נַפְשִֽׁיFor the sake of Your name, O ETERNAL One, preserve me; as You are beneficent, free me from distress.Lemaan-shimcha Adonai techayeni betzidkatcha totzi mitzarah nafshi
12וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ תַּצְמִית אֹיְבָי וְֽהַאֲבַדְתָּ כׇּל־צֹרְרֵי נַפְשִׁי כִּי אֲנִי עַבְדֶּֽךָAs You are faithful, put an end to my foes; destroy all my mortal enemies, for I am Your servant.Uvchasdcha tatzmit oyvay vehaavadta kol-tzorrey nafshi ki ani avdecha
