1 لامام المغنين. ليدوثون. مزمور لداود. قلت اتحفظ لسبيلي من الخطأ بلساني. احفظ لفمي كمامة فيما الشرير مقابلي.2 صمتّ صمتا سكتّ عن الخير فتحرك وجعي.3 حمي قلبي في جوفي. عند لهجي اشتعلت النار. تكلمت بلساني.4 عرفني يا رب نهايتي ومقدار ايامي كم هي فاعلم كيف انا زائل.5 هوذا جعلت ايامي اشبارا وعمري كلا شيء قدامك. انما نفخة كل انسان قد جعل. سلاه.6 انما كخيال يتمشى الانسان. انما باطلا يضجّون. يذخر ذخائر ولا يدري من يضمها7 والآن ماذا انتظرت يا رب. رجائي فيك هو.8 من كل معاصيّ نجني. لا تجعلني عارا عند الجاهل.9 صمت. لا افتح فمي لانك انت فعلت.10 ارفع عني ضربك من مهاجمة يدك انا قد فنيت.11 بتأديبات ان ادبت الانسان من اجل اثمه افنيت مثل العث مشتهاه. انما كل انسان نفخة. سلاه.12 استمع صلاتي يا رب واصغ الى صراخي. لا تسكت عن دموعي. لاني انا غريب عندك. نزيل مثل جميع آبائي.13 اقتصر عني فاتبلج قبل ان اذهب فلا اوجد
1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spoke I with my tongue,4 LORD, make me to know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.5 Behold, you have made my days as an handbreadth; and my age is as nothing before you: truly every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.6 Surely every man walks in a vain show: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in you.8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because you did it.10 Remove your stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of your hand.11 When you with rebukes do correct man for iniquity, you make his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.12 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with you, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
