المَزامِير 140

١ 1 أَنْقِذْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ وَاحْفَظْنِي مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ،

For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Yahweh, rescue me from the wicked; preserve me from violent men.

٢ 2 الَّذِينَ يَنْوُونَ عَلَى الشَّرِّ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَيُثِيرُونَ الْحَرْبَ دَائِماً،

They plan evil in their hearts; they cause battles every day.

٣ 3 سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَالْحَيَّةِ، وَسُمُّ الأَصْلاَلِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ.

Their tongues wound like serpents; vipers' poison is on their lips. (Selah)

٤ 4 احْمِنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَأَنْقِذْنِي مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ الْمُتَآمِرِينَ عَلَى عَرْقَلَةِ خُطُوَاتِي.

Keep me from the hands of the wicked, Yahweh; preserve me from violent men who plan to knock me over.

٥ 5 أَخْفَى لِي الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ فَخّاً، وَنَشَرُوا شَبَكَةً بِجَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَنَصَبُوا لِي أَشْرَاكاً.

The proud have set a trap for me; they have spread a net; they have set a snare for me. (Selah)

٦ 6 قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ إِلَهِي» فَيَارَبُّ أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِ تَضَرُّعِي.

I said to Yahweh, “You are my God; listen to my cries for mercy.”

٧ 7 أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ، يَاقُوَّةَ خَلاَصِي، أَنْتَ وَقَيْتَ رَأْسِي فِي يَوْمِ الْقِتَالِ.

Yahweh, my Lord, you are powerfully able to save me; you shield my head in the day of battle.

٨ 8 لاَ تُحَقِّقْ يَارَبُّ رَغَبَاتِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَلاَ تُنْجِحْ مَكِيدَتَهُمْ لِئَلاَّ يَسْتَكْبِرُوا.

Yahweh, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not let their plots succeed. (Selah)

٩ 9 رُدَّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ مَنْ يُحَاصِرُونَنِي مَكَائِدَ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ به.

Those who surround me raise their heads; let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

١٠ 10 لِيَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمْرٌ مُلْتَهِبٌ، وَلْيُطْرَحُوا إِلَى النَّارِ، وَإِلَى غَمَرَاتِ اللُّجَجِ، فَلاَ يَنْهَضُوا أَيْضاً.

Let burning coals fall on them; throw them into the fire, into bottomless pits, never more to rise.

١١ 11 لاَ تَدَعْ ذَا اللِّسَانِ السَّلِيطِ يَثْبُتُ فِي الأَرْضِ: فَالشَّرُّ يَتَصَيَّدُ رَجُلَ الظُّلْمِ لِيُهْلِكَهُ.

May men of tongues not be made secure on the earth; may evil hunt down the violent man to strike him dead.

١٢ 12 قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُنْصِفُ دَعْوَى الْمَسَاكِينِ وَيَحْكُمُ بِالْحَقِّ لِلْمُحْتَاجِينَ.

I know that Yahweh will judge in favor of the afflicted, and that he will give justice to the needy.

١٣ 13 نَعَمْ، إِنَّ الصِّدِّيقِينَ يَحْمَدُونَ اسْمَكَ، وَالصَّالِحِينَ يُقِيمُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ.

Surely the righteous people will give thanks to your name; the upright people will live in your presence.
