 אבינו מלכנו מנע מגיפה מנחלתך

Psalm 20

1. For the conductor, a song of David.   לַֽמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד:
2. May the Lord answer you on a day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob fortify you.   יַֽעַנְךָ֣ יְ֖הֹוָה בְּי֣וֹם צָרָ֑ה יְ֜שַׂגֶּבְךָ֗ שֵׁ֚ם | אֱלֹהֵ֬י יַֽעֲקֹֽב:
3.May He send your aid from His sanctuary, and may He support you from Zion.   יִשְׁלַ֣ח עֶזְרְךָ֣ מִקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּ֜מִצִּיּ֗וֹן יִסְעָדֶֽךָּ:
4. May He remember all your meal offerings and may He accept your fat burnt offerings forever.   יִזְכֹּ֥ר כָּל־מִנְחֹתֶ֑יךָ וְ֜עוֹלָֽתְךָ֗ יְדַשְּׁנֶ֣ה סֶּֽלָה:
5. May He give you as your heart [desires], and may He fulfill all your counsel.   יִֽתֶּן־לְךָ֥ כִלְבָבֶ֑ךָ וְֽכָל־עֲצָֽתְךָ֥ יְמַלֵּֽא:
6. Let us sing praises for your salvation, and let us assemble in the name of our God; may the Lord fulfill all your requests.   נְרַ֚נְּנָ֨ה | בִּ֘ישׁ֚וּעָתֶ֗ךָ וּבְשֵׁם־אֱלֹהֵ֥ינוּ נִדְגֹּ֑ל יְמַלֵּ֥א יְ֜הֹוָ֗ה כָּל־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶֽיךָ:
7. Now I know that the Lord saved His anointed; He answered him from His holy heavens; with the mighty acts of salvation from His right hand.   עַתָּ֚ה יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּ֚י הוֹשִׁ֥יעַ | יְהֹוָ֗ה מְשִׁ֫יח֥וֹ יַֽ֖עֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵ֣י קָדְשׁ֑וֹ בִּ֜גְבוּר֗וֹת יֵ֣שַׁע יְמִינֽוֹ:
8. These trust in chariots and these in horses, but we-we mention the name of the Lord our God.   אֵ֣לֶּה בָ֖רֶכֶב וְאֵ֣לֶּה בַסּוּסִ֑ים וַֽאֲנַ֓חְנוּ | בְּשֵׁם־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣ינוּ נַזְכִּֽיר:
9. They kneel and fall, but we rise and gain strength.   הֵמָּה כָּֽרְע֣וּ וְנָפָ֑לוּ וַֽאֲנַ֥חְנוּ קַּ֜֗מְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָֽד:
10. O Lord, save [us]; may the King answer us on the day we call.   יְהֹוָ֥ה הוֹשִׁ֑יעָה הַ֜מֶּ֗לֶךְ יַֽעֲנֵ֥נוּ בְיֽוֹם־קָרְאֵֽנוּ:

Psalm 41

For the conductor, a song of David.   לַֽמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד:
Praiseworthy is he who looks after the poor; on a day of calamity the Lord will rescue him.   אַשְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֜עָ֗ה יְמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהֹוָֽה:
The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be praised in the land, and You will not deliver him into the desire of his enemies.   יְהֹוָ֨ה | יִשְׁמְרֵ֣הוּ וִֽ֖יחַיֵּהוּ וְאֻשַּׁ֣ר (כתיב יְאֻשַּׁ֣ר) בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְאַֽל־תִּ֜תְּנֵ֗הוּ בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ אֹֽיְבָֽיו:
The Lord will support him on his sickbed; when You have transformed his entire restfulness in his illness.   יְֽהוָ֗ה יִ֖סְעָדֶנּוּ עַל־עֶ֣רֶשׂ דְּוָ֑י כָּל־מִ֜שְׁכָּב֗וֹ הָפַ֥כְתָּ בְחָלְיֽוֹ:
I said, "O Lord, be gracious to me; heal my soul because I have sinned against You."   אֲנִי־אָ֖מַרְתִּי יְהֹוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נִי רְפָאָ֥ה נַ֜פְשִׁ֗י כִּי־חָטָ֥אתִי לָֽךְ:
My enemies speak evil of me; "When will he die and his name be lost?"   אֽוֹיְבַ֗י יֹֽאמְר֣וּ רַ֣ע לִ֑י מָתַ֥י יָ֜מ֗וּת וְאָבַ֥ד שְׁמֽוֹ:
And if he comes to see [me], he speaks falsely; his heart gathers iniquity for him; when he goes outside, he talks.   וְאִם־בָּ֬א לִרְא֨וֹת | שָׁ֬וְא יְדַבֵּ֗ר לִבּ֗וֹ יִֽקְבָּץ־אָ֥וֶן ל֑וֹ יֵצֵ֖א לַח֣וּץ יְדַבֵּֽר:
All my enemies whisper together about me; concerning me, they think evil.   יַ֗חַד עָלַ֣י יִ֖תְלַֽחֲשׁוּ כָּל־שֹׂנְאָ֑י עָלַ֓י | יַחְשְׁב֖וּ רָעָ֣ה לִֽי:
"An evil thing shall be poured into him, and once he lies down, he will no longer rise."   דְּֽבַר־בְּ֖לִיַּעַל יָצ֣וּק בּ֑וֹ וַֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁ֜כַ֗ב לֹֽא־יוֹ֘סִ֥יף לָקֽוּם:
Even my ally, in whom I trusted, who eats my bread, developed an ambush for me.   גַּ֚ם אִישׁ־שְׁלוֹמִ֨י | אֲשֶׁר־בָּטַ֣חְתִּי ב֖וֹ אוֹכֵ֣ל לַחְמִ֑י הִגְדִּ֖יל עָלַ֣י עָקֵֽב:
But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up, so that I may repay them.   וְאַתָּ֚ה יְהֹוָ֗ה חָנֵּ֥נִי וַֽהֲקִימֵ֥נִ֥י וַֽאֲשַׁלְּמָ֥ה לָהֶֽם:
With this I shall know that You desired me, when my enemy does not shout joyfully over me.   בְּזֹ֣את יָ֖דַעְתִּי כִּֽי־חָפַ֣צְתָּ בִּ֑י כִּ֚י לֹֽא־יָרִ֖יעַ אֹֽיְבִ֣י עָלָֽי:
As for me, because of my innocence You shall support me, and stand me up before You forever.   וַֽאֲנִ֗י בְּ֖תֻמִּי תָּמַ֣כְתָּ בִּ֑י וַתַּצִּיבֵ֖נִי לְפָנֶ֣יךָ לְעוֹלָֽם:
Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel from all times past and to all times to come. Amen and amen.   בָּ֘ר֚וּךְ יְהֹוָ֨ה | אֱלֹ֘הֵ֚י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מֵ֖הָֽעוֹלָם וְעַ֥ד הָֽעוֹלָ֗ם אָ֘מֵ֚ן | וְאָמֵֽן:

Psalm 120

A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.   שִׁ֗יר הַמַּֽ֫עֲל֥וֹת אֶל־יְ֖הֹוָה בַּצָּרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י קָ֜רָ֗אתִי וַֽיַּֽעֲנֵֽנִי:
O Lord, save my soul from false lips, from a deceitful tongue.   יְהֹוָ֗ה הַצִּ֣ילָה נַ֖פְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁ֑קֶר מִלָּשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה:
What can He give you, and what can He add to you, you deceitful tongue?   מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֖ךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗ךְ לָשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה:
Sharpened arrows of a mighty man with coals of brooms.   חִצֵּ֣י גִבּ֣וֹר שְׁנוּנִ֑ים עִ֜֗ם גַּֽחֲלֵ֥י רְתָמִֽים:
Woe is to me for I have sojourned in Meshech; I dwelt among the tents of Kedar.   א֣וֹיָה לִ֖י כִּי־גַ֣רְתִּי מֶ֑שֶׁךְ שָׁ֜כַ֗נְתִּי עִם־אָֽהֳלֵ֥י קֵדָֽר:
For a long time, my soul dwelt with those who hate peace.   רַבַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּ֣הּ נַפְשִׁ֑י עִ֜֗ם שׂוֹנֵ֥א שָׁלֽוֹם:
I am at peace, but when I speak, they [come] to [wage] war.   אֲֽנִי־שָׁ֖לוֹם וְכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר הֵ֜֗מָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה:

Psalm 130

A song of ascents. From the depths I have called You, O Lord.   שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּֽעֲל֑וֹת מִמַּֽעֲמַקִּ֖ים קְרָאתִ֣יךָ יְהֹוָֽה:
O Lord, hearken to my voice; may Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.   אֲדֹנָי֘ שִׁמְעָ֪ה בְק֫וֹלִ֥י תִּֽהְיֶ֣ינָה אָ֖זְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁב֑וֹת לְ֜ק֗וֹל תַּֽחֲנוּנָֽי:
O God, if You keep [a record of] iniquities, O Lord, who will stand?   אִם־עֲו‍ֹנ֥וֹת תִּשְׁמָר־יָ֑הּ אֲ֜דֹנָ֗י מִ֣י יַֽעֲמֹֽד:
For forgiveness is with You, in order that You be feared.   כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ֥ הַסְּלִיחָ֑ה לְ֜מַעַ֗ן תִּוָּרֵֽא:
I hoped, O Lord; yea, my soul hoped, and I wait for His word.   קִוִּ֣יתִי יְ֖הֹוָה קִוְּתָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלִדְבָ֘ר֥וֹ הוֹחָֽלְתִּי:
My soul is to the Lord among those who await the morning, those who await the morning.   נַפְשִׁ֥י לַֽאדֹנָ֑י מִשֹּֽׁמְרִ֥ים לַ֜בֹּ֗קֶר שֹֽׁמְרִ֥ים לַבֹּֽקֶר:
Israel, hope to the Lord, for kindness is with the Lord and much redemption is with Him.   יַחֵ֥ל יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֶל־יְהֹ֫וָה כִּֽי־עִם־יְהֹוָ֥ה הַחֶ֑סֶד וְהַרְבֵּ֖ה עִמּ֣וֹ פְדֽוּת:
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.   וְהוּא יִפְדֶּ֣ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מִ֜כֹּ֗ל עֲוֹֽנוֹתָֽיו:

Psalm 142

A maskil of David, when he was in the cave, a prayer.   מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּֽהְיוֹת֖וֹ בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה:
[With] my voice, I cry out to the Lord; [with] my voice, I supplicate the Lord.   קוֹלִי אֶל־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק ק֜וֹלִ֗י אֶל־יְ֘הֹוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן:
I pour out before Him my speech; my distress I recite before Him.   אֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָֽ֜רָתִ֗י לְפָ֘נָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד:
When my spirit enwraps itself upon me, and You know my path. In whichever way I go, they have hidden a snare for me.   בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֜י | רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֘ יָדַ֪עְתָּ נְתִֽיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח־ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָֽמְנ֖וּ פַ֥ח לִֽי:
Looking to the right, I see that no one recognizes me; escape is lost from me; no one seeks my soul.   הַבֵּ֚יט יָמִ֨ין | וּרְאֵה֘ וְאֵין־לִ֪י מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי:
I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, "You are my refuge, my lot in the land of the living."   זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְהֹ֫וָ֥ה אָ֖מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִּ֑י חֶ֜לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים:
Hearken to my cry for I have become very low; save me from my pursuers for they have overpowered me.   הַקְשִׁ֚יבָה | אֶל־רִנָּתִי֘ כִּֽי־דַלּ֪וֹתִי מְ֫אֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹֽדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָֽמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי:
Take my soul out of confinement to give thanks to Your name; because of me the righteous will crown You, because You will recompense me.   ה֘וֹצִ֚יאָה מִמַּסְגֵּ֨ר | נַפְשִׁי֘ לְהוֹד֪וֹת אֶת־שְׁ֫מֶ֥ךָ בִּ֖י יַכְתִּ֣רוּ צַדִּיקִ֑ים כִּ֖י תִגְמֹ֣ל עָלָֽי:

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the covert of the Most High will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.   יֹשֵׁב בְּסֵ֣תֶר עֶלְי֑וֹן בְּצֵ֥ל שַׁ֜דַּ֗י יִתְלוֹנָֽן:
I shall say of the Lord [that He is] my shelter and my fortress, my God in Whom I trust.   אֹמַ֗ר לַֽ֖יהֹוָה מַחְסִּ֣י וּמְצֽוּדָתִ֑י אֱ֜לֹהַ֗י אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ:
For He will save you from the snare that traps from the devastating pestilence.   כִּ֚י ה֣וּא יַ֖צִּֽילְךָ מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת:
With His wing He will cover you, and under His wings you will take refuge; His truth is an encompassing shield.   בְּאֶבְרָת֨וֹ | יָ֥סֶךְ לָ֗ךְ וְתַ֣חַת כְּנָפָ֣יו תֶּחְסֶּ֑ה צִנָּ֖ה וְסֹֽחֵרָ֣ה אֲמִתּֽוֹ:
You will not fear the fright of night, the arrow that flies by day;   לֹֽא־תִ֖ירָא מִפַּ֣חַד לָ֑יְלָה מֵ֜חֵ֗ץ יָ֘ע֥וּף יוֹמָֽם:
Pestilence that prowls in darkness, destruction that ravages at noon.   מִדֶּבֶר בָּאֹ֣פֶל יַֽהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֜קֶּ֗טֶב יָ֘שׁ֥וּד צָֽהֳרָֽיִם:
A thousand will be stationed at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not approach you.   יִפֹּ֚ל מִצִּדְּךָ֨ | אֶ֗לֶף וּרְבָבָ֥ה מִֽימִינֶ֑ךָ אֵ֜לֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִגָּֽשׁ:
You will but gaze with your eyes, and you will see the annihilation of the wicked.   רַק בְּעֵינֶ֣יךָ תַבִּ֑יט וְשִׁלֻּמַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה:
For you [said], "The Lord is my refuge"; the Most High you made your dwelling.   כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהֹוָ֣ה מַחְסִּ֑י עֶ֜לְי֗וֹן שַׂ֣מְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ:
No harm will befall you, nor will a plague draw near to your tent.   לֹֽא־תְאֻנֶּ֣ה אֵלֶ֣יךָ רָעָ֑ה וְ֜נֶ֗גַע לֹֽא־יִקְרַ֥ב בְּאָֽהֳלֶֽךָ:
For He will command His angels on your behalf to guard you in all your ways.   כִּ֣י מַ֖לְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּ֑ךְ לִ֜שְׁמָרְךָ֗ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ:
On [their] hands they will bear you, lest your foot stumble on a stone.   עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם יִשָּׂא֑וּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּ֖ף בָּאֶ֣בֶן רַגְלֶֽךָ:
On a young lion and a cobra you will tread; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.   עַל־שַׁ֣חַל וָפֶ֣תֶן תִּדְרֹ֑ךְ תִּ֜רְמֹ֗ס כְּפִ֣יר וְתַנִּֽין:
For he yearns for Me, and I shall rescue him; I shall fortify him because he knows My name.   כִּ֚י בִ֣י חָ֖שַׁק וַֽאֲפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ אֲ֜שַׂגְּבֵ֗הוּ כִּֽי־יָ֘דַ֥ע שְׁמִֽי:
He will call Me and I shall answer him; I am with him in distress; I shall rescue him and I shall honor him.   יִקְרָאֵ֨נִי | וְֽאֶֽעֱנֵ֗הוּ עִמּֽוֹ־אָֽנֹכִ֥י בְצָרָ֑ה אֲ֜חַלְּצֵ֗הוּ וַֽאֲכַבְּדֵֽהוּ:
With length of days I shall satiate him, and I shall show him My salvation.   אֹ֣רֶךְ יָ֖מִים אַשְׂבִּיעֵ֑הוּ וְ֜אַרְאֵ֗הוּ בִּישֽׁוּעָתִֽי:
