1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ [לִידִיתוּן כ] (לִידוּתוּן ק) מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד1 For the leader, for Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
2 אָמַרְתִּי אֶשְׁמְרָה דְרָכַי מֵחֲטֹוא בִלְשֹׁונִי אֶשְׁמְרָה לְפִי מַחְסֹום בְּעֹד רָשָׁע לְנֶגְדִּי2 I said, "I will watch my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will set a curb on my mouth."
3 נֶאֱלַמְתִּי דוּמִיָּה הֶחֱשֵׁיתִי מִטֹּוב וּכְאֵבִי נֶעְכָּר3 Dumb and silent before the wicked, I refrained from any speech. But my sorrow increased;
4 חַם־לִבִּי ׀ בְּקִרְבִּי בַּהֲגִיגִי תִבְעַר־אֵשׁ דִּבַּרְתִּי בִּלְשֹׁונִי4 my heart smoldered within me. In my thoughts a fire blazed up, and I broke into speech:
5 הֹודִיעֵנִי יְהוָה ׀ קִצִּי וּמִדַּת יָמַי מַה־הִיא אֵדְעָה מֶה־חָדֵל אָנִי5 LORD, let me know my end, the number of my days, that I may learn how frail I am.
6 הִנֵּה טְפָחֹות ׀ נָתַתָּה יָמַי וְחֶלְדִּי כְאַיִן נֶגְדֶּךָ אַךְ כָּל־הֶבֶל כָּל־אָדָם נִצָּב סֶלָה6 You have given my days a very short span; my life is as nothing before you. All mortals are but a breath. Selah
7 אַךְ־בְּצֶלֶם ׀ יִתְהַלֶּךְ־אִישׁ אַךְ־הֶבֶל יֶהֱמָיוּן יִצְבֹּר וְלֹא־יֵדַע מִי־אֹסְפָם7 Mere phantoms, we go our way; mere vapor, our restless pursuits; we heap up stores without knowing for whom.
8 וְעַתָּה מַה־קִּוִּיתִי אֲדֹנָי תֹּוחַלְתִּי לְךָ הִיא8 And now, Lord, what future do I have? You are my only hope.
9 מִכָּל־פְּשָׁעַי הַצִּילֵנִי חֶרְפַּת נָבָל אַל־תְּשִׂימֵנִי9 From all my sins deliver me; let me not be the taunt of fools.
10 נֶאֱלַמְתִּי לֹא אֶפְתַּח־פִּי כִּי אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ10 I was silent and did not open my mouth because you were the one who did this.
11 הָסֵר מֵעָלַי נִגְעֶךָ מִתִּגְרַת יָדְךָ אֲנִי כָלִיתִי11 Take your plague away from me; I am ravaged by the touch of your hand.
12 בְּתֹוכָחֹות עַל־עָוֹן ׀ יִסַּרְתָּ אִישׁ וַתֶּמֶס כָּעָשׁ חֲמוּדֹו אַךְ הֶבֶל כָּל־אָדָם סֶלָה12 You rebuke our guilt and chasten us; you dissolve all we prize like a cobweb. All mortals are but a breath. Selah
13 שִׁמְעָה־תְפִלָּתִי ׀ יְהוָה וְשַׁוְעָתִי ׀ הַאֲזִינָה אֶל־דִּמְעָתִי אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ כִּי גֵר אָנֹכִי עִמָּךְ תֹּושָׁב כְּכָל־אֲבֹותָי13 Listen to my prayer, LORD, hear my cry; do not be deaf to my weeping! I sojourn with you like a passing stranger, a guest, like all my ancestors.
14 הָשַׁע מִמֶּנִּי וְאַבְלִיגָה בְּטֶרֶם אֵלֵךְ וְאֵינֶנִּי14 Turn your gaze from me, that I may find peace before I depart to be no more.
