א. לַֽמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לִֽידוּת֗וּן (כתיב לִֽ֜ידיּת֗וּן) מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד:

ב. אָמַ֗רְתִּי אֶשְׁמְרָ֣ה דְרָכַי֘ מֵֽחֲט֪וֹא בִלְשׁ֫וֹנִ֥י אֶשְׁמְרָ֣ה לְפִ֣י מַחְס֑וֹם בְּעֹ֖ד רָשָׁ֣ע לְנֶגְדִּֽי:

ג. נֶֽאֱלַ֣מְתִּי ד֖וּמִיָּה הֶֽחֱשֵׁ֣יתִי מִטּ֑וֹב וּכְאֵבִ֥י נֶעְכָּֽר:

ד. חַם־לִבִּ֨י | בְּקִרְבִּ֗י בַּֽהֲגִיגִ֥י תִבְעַר־אֵ֑שׁ דִּ֜בַּ֗רְתִּי בִּלְשֽׁוֹנִי:

ה. הֽוֹדִ֘יעֵ֚נִי יְהֹוָ֨ה | קִצִּ֗י וּמִדַּ֣ת יָמַ֣י מַה־הִ֑יא אֵֽדְעָ֗ה מֶה־חָדֵ֥ל אָֽנִי:

ו. הִנֵּ֚ה טְפָח֨וֹת | נָ֘תַ֚תָּה יָמַ֗י וְחֶלְדִּ֣י כְאַ֣יִן נֶגְדֶּ֑ךָ אַךְ־כָּל־הֶ֥בֶל כָּל־אָ֜דָ֗ם נִצָּ֥ב סֶֽלָה:

ז. אַךְ־בְּצֶ֚לֶם | יִתְהַלֶּךְ־אִ֗ישׁ אַךְ־הֶ֥בֶל יֶֽהֱמָי֑וּן יִ֜צְבֹּ֗ר וְֽלֹא־יֵדַ֥ע מִי־אֹֽסְפָֽם:

ח. וְעַתָּֽה מַה־קִּוִּ֣יתִי אֲדֹנָ֑י תּֽוֹחַלְתִּ֗י לְךָ֣ הִֽיא:

ט. מִכָּל־פְּשָׁעַ֥י הַצִּילֵ֑נִי חֶרְפַּ֥ת נָ֜בָ֗ל אַל־תְּשִׂימֵֽנִי:

י. נֶֽאֱלַמְתִּי לֹ֥א אֶפְתַּח־פִּ֑י כִּ֖י אַתָּ֣ה עָשִֽׂיתָ:

יא. הָסֵ֣ר מֵֽעָלַ֣י נִגְעֶ֑ךָ מִתִּגְרַ֥ת יָ֜דְךָ֗ אֲנִ֣י כָלִֽיתִי:

יב. בְּתֽוֹכָ֘ח֚וֹת עַל־עָו‍ֹ֨ן | יִסַּ֬רְתָּ אִ֗ישׁ וַתֶּ֣מֶס כָּעָ֣שׁ חֲמוּד֑וֹ אַ֚ךְ הֶ֖בֶל כָּל־אָדָ֣ם סֶֽלָה:

1. For the conductor, to Jeduthun, a song of David.

2. I said, "I will guard my ways from sinning with my tongue; I will guard my mouth [as with] a muzzle while the wicked man is still before me.

3. I made myself dumb in silence; I was silent from good although my pain was intense.

4. My heart is hot within me; in my thoughts fire burns; I spoke with my tongue,

5. O Lord, let me know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; I would know when I will cease.

6. Behold You made my days as handbreadths, and my old age is as nought before You; surely all vanity is in every man; this is his condition forever.

7. Man walks but in darkness; all that they stir is but vanity; he gathers yet he knows not who will bring them in.

8. And now, what have I hoped, O Lord? My hope to You is;

9. Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of an ignoble man.

10. I have become mute; I will not open my mouth because You have done it.

11. Remove Your affliction from me; from the fear of Your hand I perish.

12. With rebukes for iniquity You have chastised man; You have caused his flesh to decay as by a moth. Surely all man is vanity forever.

13. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and hearken to my cry. Be not silent to my tears, for I am a stranger with You, a dweller as all my forefathers.

14. Turn away from me that I may recover, before I go and am here no longer."
