< תְהִלִּים 143 >
מִזְמֹ֗ור לְדָ֫וִ֥ד יְהוָ֤ה ׀ שְׁמַ֬ע תְּפִלָּתִ֗י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה אֶל־תַּחֲנוּנַ֑י בֶּאֱמֻנָתְךָ֥ עֲ֝נֵ֗נִי בְּצִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃ | 1 |
A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
וְאַל־תָּבֹ֣וא בְ֭מִשְׁפָּט אֶת־עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־יִצְדַּ֖ק לְפָנֶ֣יךָ כָל־חָֽי׃ | 2 |
Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
כִּ֥י רָ֘דַ֤ף אֹויֵ֨ב ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י דִּכָּ֣א לָ֭אָרֶץ חַיָּתִ֑י הֹושִׁיבַ֥נִי בְ֝מַחֲשַׁכִּ֗ים כְּמֵתֵ֥י עֹולָֽם׃ | 3 |
The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
וַתִּתְעַטֵּ֣ף עָלַ֣י רוּחִ֑י בְּ֝תֹוכִ֗י יִשְׁתֹּומֵ֥ם לִבִּֽי׃ | 4 |
Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
זָ֘כַ֤רְתִּי יָמִ֨ים ׀ מִקֶּ֗דֶם הָגִ֥יתִי בְכָל־פָּעֳלֶ֑ךָ בְּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ אֲשֹׂוחֵֽחַ׃ | 5 |
I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
פֵּרַ֣שְׂתִּי יָדַ֣י אֵלֶ֑יךָ נַפְשִׁ֓י ׀ כְּאֶֽרֶץ־עֲיֵפָ֖ה לְךָ֣ סֶֽלָה׃ | 6 |
My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
מַ֘הֵ֤ר עֲנֵ֨נִי ׀ יְהוָה֮ כָּלְתָ֪ה ר֫וּחִ֥י אַל־תַּסְתֵּ֣ר פָּנֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם־יֹ֥רְדֵי בֹֽור׃ | 7 |
Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
הַשְׁמִ֘יעֵ֤נִי בַבֹּ֨קֶר ׀ חַסְדֶּךָ֮ כִּֽי־בְךָ֪ בָ֫טָ֥חְתִּי הֹודִיעֵ֗נִי דֶּֽרֶךְ־ז֥וּ אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּֽי־אֵ֝לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֥אתִי נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | 8 |
Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
הַצִּילֵ֖נִי מֵאֹיְבַ֥י ׀ יְהוָ֗ה אֵלֶ֥יךָ כִסִּֽתִי׃ | 9 |
O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
לַמְּדֵ֤נִי ׀ לַֽעֲשֹׂ֣ות רְצֹונֶךָ֮ כִּֽי־אַתָּ֪ה אֱלֹ֫והָ֥י רוּחֲךָ֥ טֹובָ֑ה תַּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִישֹֽׁור׃ | 10 |
Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
לְמַֽעַן־שִׁמְךָ֣ יְהוָ֣ה תְּחַיֵּ֑נִי בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֓ ׀ תֹוצִ֖יא מִצָּרָ֣ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃ | 11 |
Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
וּֽבְחַסְדְּךָ֮ תַּצְמִ֪ית אֹ֫יְבָ֥י וְֽ֭הַאֲבַדְתָּ כָּל־צֹרֲרֵ֣י נַפְשִׁ֑י כִּ֝֗י אֲנִ֣י עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃ | 12 |
And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
