< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 141 >

مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَارَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ صَرَخْتُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَ مَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ. ١ 1
“A psalm of David.” O Lord, I call thee, hasten unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
لِتَسْتَقِمْ صَلَاتِي كَٱلْبَخُورِ قُدَّامَكَ. لِيَكُنْ رَفْعُ يَدَيَّ كَذَبِيحَةٍ مَسَائِيَّةٍ. ٢ 2
May my prayer be valued as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands, as the evening offering.
ٱجْعَلْ يَارَبُّ حَارِسًا لِفَمِي. ٱحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ. ٣ 3
Set, O Lord, a watch unto my mouth: keep a guard at the door of my lips.
لَا تُمِلْ قَلْبِي إِلَى أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ، لِأَتَعَلَّلَ بِعِلَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ مَعَ أُنَاسٍ فَاعِلِي إِثْمٍ، وَلَا آكُلْ مِنْ نَفَائِسِهِمْ. ٤ 4
Permit not my heart to incline after any evil thing, to practise deeds in wickedness with men that are doers of wrong: and let me not eat of their dainties.
لِيَضْرِبْنِي ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَرَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَزَيْتٌ لِلرَّأْسِ. لَا يَأْبَى رَأْسِي. لِأَنَّ صَلَاتِي بَعْدُ فِي مَصَائِبِهِمْ. ٥ 5
If the righteous strike me, it is a kindness; and if he reprove me, it is [as] oil poured on the head, my head shall not refuse it; for yet my prayer also [is offered] in their sufferings.
قَدِ ٱنْطَرَحَ قُضَاتُهُمْ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، وَسَمِعُوا كَلِمَاتِي لِأَنَّهَا لَذِيذَةٌ. ٦ 6
Are their judges fallen down through means of a rock: then will they listen to my words; for they are pleasant.
كَمَنْ يَفْلَحُ وَيَشُقُّ ٱلْأَرْضَ، تَبَدَّدَتْ عِظَامُنَا عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585) ٧ 7
As when one cutteth in and splitteth open the earth: so are our bones scattered for the mouth of the grave. (Sheol h7585)
لِأَنَّهُ إِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدُ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَايَ. بِكَ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ. لَا تُفْرِغْ نَفْسِي. ٨ 8
For unto thee, O Eternal Lord, are my eyes directed; in thee do I trust: pour not out my life.
ٱحْفَظْنِي مِنَ ٱلْفَخِّ ٱلَّذِي قَدْ نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ. ٩ 9
Guard me from the power of the snare which they have laid for me, and the traps of the wrong-doers.
لِيَسْقُطِ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي شِبَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ أَنَا بِٱلْكُلِّيَّةِ. ١٠ 10
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, altogether—while I pass safely by.
