TEHILLIM39eng_ojb
1(For the one directing, even to Yedutun. Mizmor Dovid)2I said, I will be shomer over my ways,that I sin not with my leshon;I will be shomer over my mouth with a muzzle,while the rashah is before me.3I was dumb with silence,I held my peace for the sake of tov;and my distress grew severe.4My lev became hot within me;while I was musing the eish burned;then I spoke with my leshon:5Hashem, make me to know mine end,and the measure of my yamim, what it is;that I may have da'as of how chadel (fleeting, frail) I am.6Hinei, Thou hast made my yamim as a handbreadth,and mine lifespan is as nothing before Thee;verily kol adam stand as kol hevel (altogether vanity).Selah7Surely every ish walketh in a tzel (shadow);surely they are in turmoil in vain;he heapeth up riches, and hath no da'as of who shall gather them.8And now, Adonoi, what do I wait for?My hope is in Thee.9Save me from all my peysha'im;make me not the reproach of the foolish.10I was silent, I opened not my mouth;because Atah (Thou) did it.11Remove Thy nega (stroke, scourge) away from me;I am consumed by the blow of Thine yad.12When Thou with rebukes dost correct man for avon (iniquity),Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth:surely kol adam are hevel (vanity).Selah13Hear my tefillah, Hashem, and give ear unto my cry;hold not Thy peace at my weeping;for I am a ger with Thee,and a sojourner, as were all my Avot.14O spare me from Thy frown, that I may recover strength,before I depart, v'eineni (and I be no more).
