141 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

141 1I call upon thee, O LORD; make haste to me!
Give ear to my voice, when I call to thee!
An Evening Prayer. Psalm 141(v140)
2Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee,
and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
 תִּכֹּון תְּפִלָּתִי קְטֹרֶת לְפָנֶיךָ מַשְׂאַת כַּפַּי מִנְחַת־עָרֶב׃
3Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD,
keep watch over the door of my lips!
 שִׁיתָה יְהוָה שָׁמְרָה לְפִי נִצְּרָה עַל־דַּל שְׂפָתָי׃
4Incline not my heart to any evil,
to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity;
and let me not eat of their dainties!
 אַל־תַּט־לִבִּי לְדָבָר רָע לְהִתְעֹולֵל עֲלִלֹות בְּרֶשַׁע אֶת־אִישִׁים פֹּעֲלֵי־אָוֶן וּבַל־אֶלְחַם בְּמַנְעַמֵּיהֶם׃
5Let a good man strike or rebuke me in kindness,
but let the oil of the wicked never anoint my head;
for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.
 יֶהֶלְמֵנִי־צַדִּיק חֶסֶד וְיֹוכִיחֵנִי שֶׁמֶן רֹאשׁ אַל־יָנִי רֹאשִׁי כִּי־עֹוד וּתְפִלָּתִי בְּרָעֹותֵיהֶם׃
6When they are given over to those who shall condemn them,
then they shall learn that the word of the LORD is true.
 נִשְׁמְטוּ בִידֵי־סֶלַע שֹׁפְטֵיהֶם וְשָׁמְעוּ אֲמָרַי כִּי נָעֵמוּ׃
7As a rock which one cleaves and shatters on the land,
so shall their bones be strewn at the mouth of Sheol.
 כְּמֹו פֹלֵחַ וּבֹקֵעַ בָּאָרֶץ נִפְזְרוּ עֲצָמֵינוּ לְפִי שְׁאֹול׃
8But my eyes are toward thee, O LORD God;
in thee I seek refuge;
leave me not defenseless!
 כִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהוִה אֲדֹנָי עֵינָי בְּכָה חָסִיתִי אַל־תְּעַר נַפְשִׁי׃
9Keep me from the trap which they have laid for me,
and from the snares of evildoers!
 שָׁמְרֵנִי מִידֵי פַח יָקְשׁוּ לִי וּמֹקְשֹׁות פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן׃
10Let the wicked together fall into their nets,
while I escape.
 יִפְּלוּ בְמַכְמֹרָיו רְשָׁעִים יַחַד אָנֹכִי עַד־אֶעֱבֹור׃
