اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 140

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَنْقِذْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ ٱحْفَظْنِي.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ بِشُرُورٍ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْقِتَالِ.

Who imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they assembled [for] war.

٣ 3 سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَحَيَّةٍ. حُمَةُ ٱلْأُفْعُوَانِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ. سِلَاهْ.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adder's poison [is] under their lips. (Selah)

٤ 4 ٱحْفَظْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ يَدَيِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ أَنْقِذْنِي. ٱلَّذِينَ تَفَكَّرُوا فِي تَعْثِيرِ خُطُوَاتِي.

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

٥ 5 أَخْفَى لِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ فَخًّا وَحِبَالًا. مَدُّوا شَبَكَةً بِجَانِبِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَضَعُوا لِي أَشْرَاكًا. سِلَاهْ.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. (Selah)

٦ 6 قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ إِلَهِي». أَصْغِ يَارَبُّ إِلَى صَوْتِ تَضَرُّعَاتِي.

I said to the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

٧ 7 يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ، قُوَّةَ خَلَاصِي، ظَلَّلْتَ رَأْسِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْقِتَالِ.

O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

٨ 8 لَا تُعْطِ يَارَبُّ شَهَوَاتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. لَا تُنَجِّحْ مَقَاصِدَهُ. يَتَرَفَّعُونَ. سِلَاهْ.

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah)

٩ 9 أَمَّا رُؤُوسُ ٱلْمُحِيطِينَ بِي فَشَقَاءُ شِفَاهِهِمْ يُغَطِّيهِمْ.

[As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

١٠ 10 لِيَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمْرٌ. لِيُسْقَطُوا فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَفِي غَمَرَاتٍ فَلَا يَقُومُوا.

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not again.

١١ 11 رَجُلُ لِسَانٍ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. رَجُلُ ٱلظُّلْمِ يَصِيدُهُ ٱلشَّرُّ إِلَى هَلَاكِهِ.

Let not an evil speaker be established on the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him].

١٢ 12 قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُجْرِي حُكْمًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَحَقًّا لِلْبَائِسِينَ.

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor.

١٣ 13 إِنَّمَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ ٱسْمَكَ. ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ يَجْلِسُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
