< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 17 >

صَلَاةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَارَبُّ لِلْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَلَاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ بِلَا غِشٍّ. ١ 1
A prayer of David. Hearken, O Lord of my righteousness, attend to my petition; give ear to my prayer not [uttered] with deceitful lips.
مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ يَخْرُجُ قَضَائِي. عَيْنَاكَ تَنْظُرَانِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ. ٢ 2
Let my judgment come forth from thy presence; let mine eyes behold righteousness.
جَرَّبْتَ قَلْبِي. تَعَهَّدْتَهُ لَيْلًا. مَحَّصْتَنِي. لَا تَجِدُ فِيَّ ذُمُومًا. لَا يَتَعَدَّى فَمِي. ٣ 3
Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] by night; thou hast tried me as with fire, and unrighteousness has not been found in me: [I am purposed] that my mouth shall not speak [amiss].
مِنْ جِهَةِ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبِكَلَامِ شَفَتَيْكَ أَنَا تَحَفَّظْتُ مِنْ طُرُقِ ٱلْمُعْتَنِفِ. ٤ 4
As for the works of men, by the words of thy lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.
تَمَسَّكَتْ خُطُوَاتِي بِآثَارِكَ فَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمَايَ. ٥ 5
Direct my steps in thy paths, that my steps slip not.
أَنَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِي يَا ٱللهُ. أَمِلْ أُذُنَيْكَ إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامِي. ٦ 6
I have cried, for thou heardest me, O God: incline thine ear to me, and hearken to my words.
مَيِّزْ مَرَاحِمَكَ، يَامُخَلِّصَ ٱلْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ، بِيَمِينِكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ. ٧ 7
Shew the marvels of thy mercies, thou that savest them that hope in thee.
ٱحْفَظْنِي مِثْلَ حَدَقَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ. بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ ٱسْتُرْنِي ٨ 8
Keep me as the apple of the eye from those that resist thy right hand: thou shalt screen me by the covering of thy wings,
مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُخْرِبُونَنِي، أَعْدَائِي بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتَنِفُونَنِي. ٩ 9
from the face of the ungodly that have afflicted me: mine enemies have compassed about my soul.
قَلْبَهُمُ ٱلسَّمِينَ قَدْ أَغْلَقُوا. بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ قَدْ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ. ١٠ 10
They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat: their mouth has spoken pride.
فِي خُطُوَاتِنَا ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَحَاطُوا بِنَا. نَصَبُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ لِيُزْلِقُونَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١١ 11
They have now cast me out and compassed me round about: they have set their eyes [so as] to bow them down to the ground.
مَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱلْقَرِمِ إِلَى ٱلِٱفْتِرَاسِ، وَكَٱلشِّبْلِ ٱلْكَامِنِ فِي عِرِّيسِهِ. ١٢ 12
They laid wait for me as a lion ready for prey, and like a lion's whelp dwelling in secret [places].
قُمْ يَارَبُّ. تَقَدَّمْهُ. اِصْرَعْهُ. نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بِسَيْفِكَ، ١٣ 13
Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down: deliver my soul from the ungodly: [draw] thy sword,
مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِيَدِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلدُّنْيَا. نَصِيبُهُمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمْ. بِذَخَائِرِكَ تَمْلَأُ بُطُونَهُمْ. يَشْبَعُونَ أَوْلَادًا وَيَتْرُكُونَ فُضَالَتَهُمْ لِأَطْفَالِهِمْ. ١٤ 14
because of the enemies of thine hand: O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with thy hidden [treasures]: they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِشَبَهِكَ. ١٥ 15
But I shall appear in righteousness before thy face: I shall be satisfied when thy glory appears.
