SONG Life Is But a Breath -Psalm 39- תהילים ל"ט LYRICS: 1For the conductor, to Jeduthun, a song of David. לַֽמְנַצֵּ֥חַ לִֽידוּת֗וּן (כתיב לִֽ֜ידיּת֗וּן) מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד: 2I 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. אָמַ֗רְתִּי אֶשְׁמְרָ֣ה דְרָכַי֘ מֵֽחֲט֪וֹא בִלְשׁ֫וֹנִ֥י אֶשְׁמְרָ֣ה לְפִ֣י מַחְס֑וֹם בְּעֹ֖ד רָשָׁ֣ע לְנֶגְדִּֽי: 3I made myself dumb in silence; I was silent from good although my pain was intense. נֶֽאֱלַ֣מְתִּי ד֖וּמִיָּה הֶֽחֱשֵׁ֣יתִי מִטּ֑וֹב וּכְאֵבִ֥י נֶעְכָּֽר: 4My heart is hot within me; in my thoughts fire burns; I spoke with my tongue, חַם־לִבִּ֨י | בְּקִרְבִּ֗י בַּֽהֲגִיגִ֥י תִבְעַר־אֵ֑שׁ דִּ֜בַּ֗רְתִּי בִּלְשֽׁוֹנִי: 5O Lord, let me know my end, and the measure of my days, what it is; I would know when I will cease. הֽוֹדִ֘יעֵ֚נִי יְהֹוָ֨ה | קִצִּ֗י וּמִדַּ֣ת יָמַ֣י מַה־הִ֑יא אֵֽדְעָ֗ה מֶה־חָדֵ֥ל אָֽנִי: 6Behold 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. הִנֵּ֚ה טְפָח֨וֹת | נָ֘תַ֚תָּה יָמַ֗י וְחֶלְדִּ֣י כְאַ֣יִן נֶגְדֶּ֑ךָ אַךְ־כָּל־הֶ֥בֶל כָּל־אָ֜דָ֗ם נִצָּ֥ב סֶֽלָה: 7Man walks but in darkness; all that they stir is but vanity; he gathers yet he knows not who will bring them in. אַךְ־בְּצֶ֚לֶם | יִתְהַלֶּךְ־אִ֗ישׁ אַךְ־הֶ֥בֶל יֶֽהֱמָי֑וּן יִ֜צְבֹּ֗ר וְֽלֹא־יֵדַ֥ע מִי־אֹֽסְפָֽם: 8And now, what have I hoped, O Lord? My hope to You is; וְעַתָּֽה מַה־קִּוִּ֣יתִי אֲדֹנָ֑י תּֽוֹחַלְתִּ֗י לְךָ֣ הִֽיא: 9Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of an ignoble man. מִכָּל־פְּשָׁעַ֥י הַצִּילֵ֑נִי חֶרְפַּ֥ת נָ֜בָ֗ל אַל־תְּשִׂימֵֽנִי: 10I have become mute; I will not open my mouth because You have done it. נֶֽאֱלַמְתִּי לֹ֥א אֶפְתַּח־פִּ֑י כִּ֖י אַתָּ֣ה עָשִֽׂיתָ: 11Remove Your affliction from me; from the fear of Your hand I perish. הָסֵ֣ר מֵֽעָלַ֣י נִגְעֶ֑ךָ מִתִּגְרַ֥ת יָ֜דְךָ֗ אֲנִ֣י כָלִֽיתִי: 12With rebukes for iniquity You have chastised man; You have caused his flesh to decay as by a moth. Surely all man is vanity forever. בְּתֽוֹכָ֘ח֚וֹת עַל־עָו‍ֹ֨ן | יִסַּ֬רְתָּ אִ֗ישׁ וַתֶּ֣מֶס כָּעָ֣שׁ חֲמוּד֑וֹ אַ֚ךְ הֶ֖בֶל כָּל־אָדָ֣ם סֶֽלָה: 13Hear 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. שִֽׁמְעָ֥ה־תְפִלָּתִ֨י | יְהֹוָ֡ה וְשַׁוְעָתִ֨י | הַֽאֲזִינָה֘ אֶל־דִּמְעָתִ֗י אַל־תֶּֽ֫חֱרָ֥שׁ כִּ֚י גֵ֣ר אָֽנֹכִ֣י עִמָּ֑ךְ תּ֜וֹשָׁ֗ב כְּכָל־אֲבוֹתָֽי: 14Turn away from me that I may recover, before I go and am here no longer." הָשַׁ֣ע מִמֶּ֣נִּי וְאַבְלִ֑יגָה בְּטֶ֖רֶם אֵלֵ֣ךְ וְאֵינֶֽנִּי: #teshuvaMusic #jewishmusic #beezrathashem #rabbiyaronreuven #kingdavid #tehillim #davidhamelech #תהילים #דודהמלך
