لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَنْقِذْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ ٱحْفَظْنِي. ١ 1
To the leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ بِشُرُورٍ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْقِتَالِ. ٢ 2
from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:
سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَحَيَّةٍ. حُمَةُ ٱلْأُفْعُوَانِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ. سِلَاهْ. ٣ 3
who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (Selah)
ٱحْفَظْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ يَدَيِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ أَنْقِذْنِي. ٱلَّذِينَ تَفَكَّرُوا فِي تَعْثِيرِ خُطُوَاتِي. ٤ 4
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.
أَخْفَى لِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ فَخًّا وَحِبَالًا. مَدُّوا شَبَكَةً بِجَانِبِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَضَعُوا لِي أَشْرَاكًا. سِلَاهْ. ٥ 5
The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (Selah)
قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ إِلَهِي». أَصْغِ يَارَبُّ إِلَى صَوْتِ تَضَرُّعَاتِي. ٦ 6
I have said to the Lord, ‘My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.
يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ، قُوَّةَ خَلَاصِي، ظَلَّلْتَ رَأْسِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْقِتَالِ. ٧ 7
O Lord my Lord, my saviour mighty, you did cover my head in the day of battle.
لَا تُعْطِ يَارَبُّ شَهَوَاتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. لَا تُنَجِّحْ مَقَاصِدَهُ. يَتَرَفَّعُونَ. سِلَاهْ. ٨ 8
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.’ (Selah)
أَمَّا رُؤُوسُ ٱلْمُحِيطِينَ بِي فَشَقَاءُ شِفَاهِهِمْ يُغَطِّيهِمْ. ٩ 9
Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,
لِيَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمْرٌ. لِيُسْقَطُوا فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَفِي غَمَرَاتٍ فَلَا يَقُومُوا. ١٠ 10
may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,
رَجُلُ لِسَانٍ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. رَجُلُ ٱلظُّلْمِ يَصِيدُهُ ٱلشَّرُّ إِلَى هَلَاكِهِ. ١١ 11
no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.
قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُجْرِي حُكْمًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَحَقًّا لِلْبَائِسِينَ. ١٢ 12
I know that the Lord will do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are needy.
إِنَّمَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ ٱسْمَكَ. ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ يَجْلِسُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ. ١٣ 13
Surely the righteous shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
