תהילים 141

1 מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד יְהֹוָה קְרָאתִיךָ חוּשָׁה לִּי הַאֲזִינָה קוֹלִי בְּקׇרְאִי־לָֽךְ׃

A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

2 תִּכּוֹן תְּפִלָּתִי קְטֹרֶת לְפָנֶיךָ מַֽשְׂאַת כַּפַּי מִנְחַת־עָֽרֶב׃

May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.

3 שִׁיתָה יְהֹוָה שׇׁמְרָה לְפִי נִצְּרָה עַל־דַּל שְׂפָתָֽי׃

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

4 אַל־תַּט־לִבִּי לְדָבָר ׀ רָע לְהִתְעוֹלֵל עֲלִלוֹת ׀ בְּרֶשַׁע אֶת־אִישִׁים פֹּעֲלֵי־אָוֶן וּבַל־אֶלְחַם בְּמַנְעַמֵּיהֶֽם׃

Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

5 יֶהֶלְמֵֽנִי צַדִּיק ׀ חֶסֶד וְֽיוֹכִיחֵנִי שֶׁמֶן רֹאשׁ אַל־יָנִי רֹאשִׁי כִּי־עוֹד וּתְפִלָּתִי בְּרָעוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

6 נִשְׁמְטוּ בִֽידֵי־סֶלַע שֹׁפְטֵיהֶם וְשָׁמְעוּ אֲמָרַי כִּי נָעֵֽמוּ׃

When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

7 כְּמוֹ פֹלֵחַ וּבֹקֵעַ בָּאָרֶץ נִפְזְרוּ עֲצָמֵינוּ לְפִי שְׁאֽוֹל׃ (Sheol h7585)

As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

8 כִּי אֵלֶיךָ ׀ יֱהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֵינָי בְּכָה חָסִיתִי אַל־תְּעַר נַפְשִֽׁי׃

But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.

9 שׇׁמְרֵנִי מִידֵי פַח יָקְשׁוּ לִי וּמֹקְשׁוֹת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.

10 יִפְּלוּ בְמַכְמֹרָיו רְשָׁעִים יַחַד אָנֹכִי עַֽד־אֶעֱבֽוֹר׃

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
