1 Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

1 מִזְמֹ֗ור לְדָ֫וִ֥ד יְהוָ֣ה קְ֭רָאתִיךָ ח֣וּשָׁה לִּ֑י הַאֲזִ֥ינָה קֹ֝ולִ֗י בְּקָרְאִי־לָֽךְ׃

2 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

2 תִּכֹּ֤ון תְּפִלָּתִ֣י קְטֹ֣רֶת לְפָנֶ֑יךָ מַֽשְׂאַ֥ת כַּ֝פַּ֗י מִנְחַת־עָֽרֶב׃

3 Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.

3 שִׁיתָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה שָׁמְרָ֣ה לְפִ֑י נִ֝צְּרָ֗ה עַל־דַּ֥ל שְׂפָתָֽי׃

4 Don't incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don't let me eat of their delicacies.

4 אַל־תַּט־לִבִּ֨י לְדָבָ֪ר׀ רָ֡ע לְהִתְעֹ֘ולֵ֤ל עֲלִלֹ֨ות׀ בְּרֶ֗שַׁע אֶת־אִישִׁ֥ים פֹּֽעֲלֵי־אָ֑וֶן וּבַל־אֶ֝לְחַ֗ם בְּמַנְעַמֵּיהֶֽם׃

5 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; Don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

5 יֶֽהֶלְמֵֽנִי־צַדִּ֨יק׀ חֶ֡סֶד וְֽיֹוכִיחֵ֗נִי שֶׁ֣מֶן רֹ֭אשׁ אַל־יָנִ֣י רֹאשִׁ֑י כִּי־עֹ֥וד וּ֝תְפִלָּתִ֗י בְּרָעֹותֵיהֶֽם׃

6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.

6 נִשְׁמְט֣וּ בִֽידֵי־סֶ֭לַע שֹׁפְטֵיהֶ֑ם וְשָׁמְע֥וּ אֲ֝מָרַ֗י כִּ֣י נָעֵֽמוּ׃

7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol."

7 כְּמֹ֤ו פֹלֵ֣חַ וּבֹקֵ֣עַ בָּאָ֑רֶץ נִפְזְר֥וּ עֲ֝צָמֵ֗ינוּ לְפִ֣י שְׁאֹֽול׃

8 For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don't leave my soul destitute.

8 כִּ֤י אֵלֶ֨יךָ׀ יְהוִ֣ה³ אֲדֹנָ֣י עֵינָ֑י בְּכָ֥ה חָ֝סִ֗יתִי אַל־תְּעַ֥ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃

9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, From the traps of the workers of iniquity.

9 שָׁמְרֵ֗נִי מִ֣ידֵי פַ֭ח יָ֣קְשׁוּ לִ֑י וּ֝מֹקְשֹׁ֗ות פֹּ֣עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃

10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, While I pass by.

10 יִפְּל֣וּ בְמַכְמֹרָ֣יו רְשָׁעִ֑ים יַ֥חַד אָ֝נֹכִ֗י עַֽד־אֶעֱבֹֽור׃
