تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي. ١ 1
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.
يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ. ٢ 2
Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!
مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ ٱلْغِشِّ؟ ٣ 3
What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?
سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ ٱلرَّتَمِ. ٤ 4
With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.
وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ! ٥ 5
I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.
طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ. ٦ 6
I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.
أَنَا سَلَامٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ. ٧ 7
I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.
