בבית האבל מוסיפים בשחרית ובמנחה מזמור זה, ביום שיש בו תחנון:
In the house of mourning, the following psalm is added in the morning and afternoon prayers on days when Tachanun is recited:
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר: שִׁמְעוּ זֹאת כָּל הָעַמִּים הַאֲזִינוּ כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי חָלֶד: גַּם בְּנֵי אָדָם גַּם בְּנֵי אִישׁ יַחַד עָשִׁיר וְאֶבְיוֹן: פִּי יְדַבֵּר חָכְמוֹת וְהָגוּת לִבִּי תְבוּנוֹת: אַטֶּה לְמָשָׁל אָזְנִי אֶפְתַּח בְּכִנּוֹר חִידָתִי: לָמָּה אִירָא בִּימֵי רָע עֲוֹן עֲקֵבַי יְסוּבֵּנִי: הַבֹּטְחִים עַל חֵילָם וּבְרֹב עָשְׁרָם יִתְהַלָּלוּ: אָח לֹא פָדֹה יִפְדֶּה אִישׁ לֹא יִתֵּן לֵאלֹהִים כָּפְרוֹ: וְיֵקַר פִּדְיוֹן נַפְשָׁם וְחָדַל לְעוֹלָם: וִיחִי עוֹד לָנֶצַח לֹא יִרְאֶה הַשָּׁחַת: כִּי יִרְאֶה חֲכָמִים יָמוּתוּ יַחַד כְּסִיל וָבַעַר יֹאבֵדוּ וְעָזְבוּ לַאֲחֵרִים חֵילָם: קִרְבָּם בָּתֵּימוֹ לְעוֹלָם מִשְׁכְּנֹתָם לְדֹר וָדֹר קָרְאוֹ בִשְׁמוֹתָם עֲלֵי אֲדָמוֹת: וְאָדָם בִּיקָר בַּל יָלִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמוּ: זֶה דַרְכָּם כֵּסֶל לָמוֹ וְאַחֲרֵיהֶם בְּפִיהֶם יִרְצוּ סֶלָה: כַּצֹּאן לִשְׁאוֹל שַׁתּוּ מָוֶת יִרְעֵם וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים לַבֹּקֶר וְצוּרָם לְבַלּוֹת שְׁאוֹל מִזְּבֻל לוֹ: אַךְ אֱלֹהִים יִפְדֶּה נַפְשִׁי מִיַּד שְׁאוֹל כִּי יִקָּחֵנִי סֶלָה: אַל תִּירָא כִּי יַעֲשִׁר אִישׁ כִּי יִרְבֶּה כְּבוֹד בֵּיתוֹ: כִּי לֹא בְמוֹתוֹ יִקַּח הַכֹּל לֹא יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבוֹדוֹ: כִּי נַפְשׁוֹ בְּחַיָּיו יְבָרֵךְ וְיוֹדֻךָ כִּי תֵיטִיב לָךְ: תָּבוֹא עַד דּוֹר אֲבוֹתָיו עַד נֵצַח לֹא יִרְאוֹ אוֹר: אָדָם בִּיקָר וְלֹא יָבִין נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמוּ: וּתְשׁוּעַת צַדִּיקִים מֵיְהֹוָה מָעוּזָּם בְּעֵת צָרָה: וַיַּעְזְרֵם יְהֹוָה וַיְפַלְּטֵם יְפַלְּטֵם מֵרְשָׁעִים וְיוֹשִׁיעֵם כִּי חָסוּ בוֹ:
For the conductor, a psalm of the sons of Korach: Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world: Both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth speaks wisdom; my heart’s meditation is understanding. I will incline my ear to a parable; I will solve my riddle upon the harp. Why should I fear in days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels surrounds me? Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the multitude of their riches. No man can redeem his brother or give to God his ransom—For the redemption of their soul is costly and it ceases forever—That he should live eternally and not see the pit. For he sees that wise men die; the fool and the brutish together perish and leave their wealth to others. Their inner thought is that their houses are forever, their dwelling places for all generations; they call their lands after their own names. But man in his splendor will not endure; he is like the beasts that perish. This is their way, folly is theirs, and after them, they will delight in their words forever. Like sheep they are appointed to Sheol; death shall shepherd them; the upright shall rule over them in the morning; and their form shall waste away in Sheol, far from its lofty abode. But God will redeem my soul from the hand of Sheol, for He will take me, Selah. Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies, he will take nothing; his glory will not descend after him. For his soul, while he lives, will bless itself, and they will praise you when you do well for yourself. It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. Man in his splendor, yet without understanding, is like the beasts that perish. But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their stronghold in time of trouble. And the Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, for they have taken refuge in Him.
ביום שאין בו תחנון אומרים בבית האבל מזמור זה:
On days when Tachanun is not recited, the following psalm is said in the house of mourning:
מִכְתָּם לְדָוִד שָׁמְרֵנִי אֵל כִּי חָסִיתִי בָךְ: אָמַרְתְּ לַיהֹוָה אֲדֹנָי אָתָּה טוֹבָתִי בַּל עָלֶיךָ: לִקְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בָּאָרֶץ הֵמָּה וְאַדִּירֵי כָּל חֶפְצִי בָם: יִרְבּוּ עַצְּבוֹתָם אַחֵר מָהָרוּ בַּל אַסִּיךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶם מִדָּם וּבַל אֶשָּׂא אֶת שְׁמוֹתָם עַל שְׂפָתָי: יְהֹוָה מְנָת חֶלְקִי וְכוֹסִי אַתָּה תּוֹמִיךְ גּוֹרָלִי: חֲבָלִים נָפְלוּ לִי בַּנְּעִמִים אַף נַחֲלָת שָׁפְרָה עָלָי: אֲבָרֵךְ אֶת יְהֹוָה אֲשֶׁר יְעָצָנִי אַף לֵילוֹת יִסְּרוּנִי כִלְיוֹתָי: שִׁוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד כִּי מִימִינִי בַּל אֶמּוֹט: לָכֵן שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶטַח: כִּי לֹא תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹא תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָׁחַת: תּוֹדִיעֵנִי אֹרַח חַיִּים שֹׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת אֶת פָּנֶיךָ נְעִמוֹת בִּימִינְךָ נֶצַח:
A michtam of David: Guard me, O God, for I have taken refuge in You. I have said to the Lord, “You are my Master; I have no good besides You.” As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight. The sorrows of those who hasten after another god shall multiply; I will not pour their libations of blood nor will I take their names upon my lips. The Lord is my allotted portion and my cup; You maintain my lot. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, my inheritance is beautiful to me. I will bless the Lord, who has counseled me; even at night, my kidneys instruct me. I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; even my flesh will dwell securely. For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You allow Your faithful one to see decay. You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
