Psalms

Chapter 141
1
Phonetic (Hebrew): mizem֗or leda֫vi֥d yehva֣h qe֭ra'tiyka ch֣ushshah lּi֑y ha'azi֥ynah q֝oli֗y bּeqare'iy-laֽke׃
Edified Edition (EDE)I call to you, LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to you.

מִזְמ֗וֹר לְדָ֫וִ֥ד יְהוָ֣ה קְ֭רָאתִיךָ ח֣וּשָׁה לִּ֑י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה ק֝וֹלִ֗י בְּקָרְאִי־לָֽךְ׃

2
Phonetic (Hebrew): tּikּ֤on tּepilּati֣y qeto֣ret lepane֑yka maֽshse'a֥t kּa֝pּa֗y minechat-'aֽreb׃
Edified Edition (EDE)May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

תִּכּ֤וֹן תְּפִלָּתִ֣י קְטֹ֣רֶת לְפָנֶ֑יךָ מַֽשְׂאַ֥ת כַּ֝פַּ֗י מִנְחַת־עָֽרֶב׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): shshiyta֣h ye֭hvah shshamera֣h lepi֑y ni֝tzּera֗h 'al-dּa֥l shsepataֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Set a guard over my mouth, LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.

שִׁיתָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה שָׁמְרָ֣ה לְפִ֑י נִ֝צְּרָ֗ה עַל־דַּ֥ל שְׂפָתָֽי׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): al-tּat-libּi֨y ledaba֪r ׀ ra֡ lehite'֘ole֤l 'alil֨ot ׀ bּere֗shsha 'et-'iyshshi֥ym pּoֽ'aley-'a֑ven ubal-'e֝lecha֗m bּemane'amּeyheֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies.

אַל־תַּט־לִבִּ֨י לְדָבָ֪ר ׀ רָ֡ע לְהִתְע֘וֹלֵ֤ל עֲלִל֨וֹת ׀ בְּרֶ֗שַׁע אֶת־אִישִׁ֥ים פֹּֽעֲלֵי־אָ֑וֶן וּבַל־אֶ֝לְחַ֗ם בְּמַנְעַמֵּיהֶֽם׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): yeֽhelemeֽniy-tzadּi֨yq ׀ che֡sed veֽyokiyche֗niy shshe֣men ro֭'shsh 'al-yani֣y ro'shshi֑y kּiy-'֥od u֝tepilּati֗y bּera'oteyheֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Let a righteous man strike me, that is a kindness; let him rebuke me, that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

יֶֽהֶלְמֵֽנִי־צַדִּ֨יק ׀ חֶ֡סֶד וְֽיוֹכִיחֵ֗נִי שֶׁ֣מֶן רֹ֭אשׁ אַל־יָנִ֣י רֹאשִׁ֑י כִּי־ע֥וֹד וּ֝תְפִלָּתִ֗י בְּרָעוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): nishshemet֣u biֽydey-se֭la shshopeteyhe֑m veshshame'֥u 'a֝mara֗y kּi֣y na'eֽmu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs, and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.

נִשְׁמְט֣וּ בִֽידֵי־סֶ֭לַע שֹׁפְטֵיהֶ֑ם וְשָׁמְע֥וּ אֲ֝מָרַ֗י כִּ֣י נָעֵֽמוּ׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּem֤o pole֣cha uboqe֣'a bּa'a֑retz nipezer֥u 'a֝tzame֗ynu lepi֣y shshe'ֽol׃
Edified Edition (EDE)They will say, "As one plows and breaks up the earth, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave."

כְּמ֤וֹ פֹלֵ֣חַ וּבֹקֵ֣עַ בָּאָ֑רֶץ נִפְזְר֥וּ עֲ֝צָמֵ֗ינוּ לְפִ֣י שְׁאֽוֹל׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּi֤y 'ele֨yka ׀ yehovi֣h 'adona֣y 'eyna֑y bּeka֥h cha֝si֗ytiy 'al-tּe'a֥r napeshshiֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge, do not give me over to death.

כִּ֤י אֵלֶ֨יךָ ׀ יְהֹוִ֣ה אֲדֹנָ֣י עֵינָ֑י בְּכָ֥ה חָ֝סִ֗יתִי אַל־תְּעַ֥ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): shshamere֗niy mi֣ydey pa֭ch ya֣qeshshu li֑y u֝moqeshsh֗ot pּo֣'aley 'aֽven׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Keep me safe from the snares they have set for me, from the traps set by evildoers.

שָׁמְרֵ֗נִי מִ֣ידֵי פַ֭ח יָ֣קְשׁוּ לִ֑י וּ֝מֹקְשׁ֗וֹת פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

10
Phonetic (Hebrew): yipּel֣u bemakemora֣yv reshsha'i֑ym ya֥chad 'a֝noki֗y 'aֽd-'e'ebֽor׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

יִפְּל֣וּ בְמַכְמֹרָ֣יו רְשָׁעִ֑ים יַ֥חַד אָ֝נֹכִ֗י עַֽד־אֶעֱבֽוֹר׃
