< תהילים 141 >

מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד יְהוָה קְרָאתִיךָ חוּשָׁה לִּי הַאֲזִינָה קוֹלִי בְּקָרְאִי־לָֽךְ׃ 1
A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to you; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to you.
תִּכּוֹן תְּפִלָּתִי קְטֹרֶת לְפָנֶיךָ מַֽשְׂאַת כַּפַּי מִנְחַת־עָֽרֶב׃ 2
Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
שִׁיתָה יְהוָה שָׁמְרָה לְפִי נִצְּרָה עַל־דַּל שְׂפָתָֽי׃ 3
Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
אַל־תַּט־לִבִּי לְדָבָר ׀ רָע לְהִתְעוֹלֵל עֲלִלוֹת ׀ בְּרֶשַׁע אֶת־אִישִׁים פֹּֽעֲלֵי־אָוֶן וּבַל־אֶלְחַם בְּמַנְעַמֵּיהֶֽם׃ 4
Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
יֶֽהֶלְמֵֽנִי־צַדִּיק ׀ חֶסֶד וְֽיוֹכִיחֵנִי שֶׁמֶן רֹאשׁ אַל־יָנִי רֹאשִׁי כִּי־עוֹד וּתְפִלָּתִי בְּרָעוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ 5
The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
נִשְׁמְטוּ בִֽידֵי־סֶלַע שֹׁפְטֵיהֶם וְשָׁמְעוּ אֲמָרַי כִּי נָעֵֽמוּ׃ 6
Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
כְּמוֹ פֹלֵחַ וּבֹקֵעַ בָּאָרֶץ נִפְזְרוּ עֲצָמֵינוּ לְפִי שְׁאֽוֹל׃ (Sheol h7585) 7
As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
כִּי אֵלֶיךָ ׀ יְהֹוִה אֲדֹנָי עֵינָי בְּכָה חָסִיתִי אַל־תְּעַר נַפְשִֽׁי׃ 8
For mine eyes are to you, O Lord God: I have hoped in you; take not away my life.
שָׁמְרֵנִי מִידֵי פַח יָקְשׁוּ לִי וּמֹקְשׁוֹת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃ 9
Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
יִפְּלוּ בְמַכְמֹרָיו רְשָׁעִים יַחַד אָנֹכִי עַֽד־אֶעֱבֽוֹר׃ 10
Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
