قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي ٱلْمَغَارَةِ. صَلَاةٌ بِصَوْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَصْرُخُ. بِصَوْتِي إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَتَضَرَّعُ. ١ 1
A maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I call out to the Lord for help; pleading with the Lord for mercy.
أَسْكُبُ أَمَامَهُ شَكْوَايَ. بِضِيقِيْ قُدَّامَهُ أُخْبِرُ. ٢ 2
I pour out my complaints before him; I tell him what's troubling me.
عِنْدَ مَا أَعْيَتْ رُوحِي فِيَّ، وَأَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ مَسْلَكِي. فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ ٱلَّتِي أَسْلُكُ أَخْفَوْا لِي فَخًّا. ٣ 3
When I'm totally discouraged, you know the direction I should take. But whichever way I go, people set traps for me.
ٱنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْيَمِينِ وَأَبْصِرْ، فَلَيْسَ لِي عَارِفٌ. بَادَ عَنِّي ٱلْمَنَاصُ. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ نَفْسِي. ٤ 4
I look to my right for someone to support me—but no one pays me any attention. There's no safe place for me—no one cares about me at all.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ. قُلْتُ: «أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي، نَصِيبِي فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ». ٥ 5
I cry out to you, Lord, for help, saying, “You are the one who keeps me safe; you are all I need in life.
أَصْغِ إِلَى صُرَاخِي، لِأَنِّي قَدْ تَذَلَّلْتُ جِدًّا. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي. ٦ 6
Please listen to my sad cry, for I'm feeling very low. Please save me from those who are after me, for they're too strong for me.
أَخْرِجْ مِنَ ٱلْحَبْسِ نَفْسِي، لِتَحْمِيدِ ٱسْمِكَ. ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَكْتَنِفُونَنِي، لِأَنَّكَ تُحْسِنُ إِلَيَّ. ٧ 7
Release me from my prison so I can praise you for the person you are! Those who live right will gather round me because you have treated me so well.”
