احْفَظْنِي يَااَللهُ، فَإِنِّي مُتَوَكِّلٌ عَلَيْكَ. ١ 1
Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي، وَلاَ خَيْرَ لِي بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْكَ. ٢ 2
My soul, you have said to Adonai, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
كُلُّ بَهْجَتِي فِي قِدِّيسِي الأَرْضِ وَأَفَاضِلِهَا. ٣ 3
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
تَتَكَاثَرُ أَوْجَاعُ الْمُتَهَافِتِينَ وَرَاءَ غَيْرِكَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَتَقْدِمَاتُ سَكَائِبِهِمِ الدَّمَوِيَّةِ لاَ أُقَدِّمُ، وَلاَ أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ. ٤ 4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another deity. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
الرَّبُّ نَصِيبِي وَمِيرَاثِي وَكَأْسُ ارْتِوَائِي. أَنْتَ حَافِظُ قِسْمَتِي. ٥ 5
Adonai assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
فِي أَرْضٍ بَهِيجَةٍ وَقَعَتْ قِسْمَةُ حِصَّتِي. فَمَا أَفْضَلَ هذَا الْمِيرَاثَ عِنْدِي! ٦ 6
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ نَاصِحِي، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ أَيْضاً يُرْشِدُنِي ضَمِيرِي. ٧ 7
I will bless Adonai, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
جَعَلْتُ الرَّبَّ أَمَامِي دَائِماً فَإِنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلا أَتَزَعْزَعُ. ٨ 8
I always set Adonai before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي وَتَهَلَّلَ لِسَانِي حَتَّى إِنَّ جَسَدِي سَيَرْقُدُ عَلَى رَجَاءٍ، ٩ 9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my kavod ·weighty glory· rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي هُوَّةِ الأَمْوَاتِ وَلَنْ تَدَعَ وَحِيدَكَ الْقُدُّوسَ يَنَالُ مِنْهُ الْفَسَادُ. (Sheol h7585) ١٠ 10
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol ·Place of the dead·, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
هَدَيْتَنِي سُبُلَ الْحَيَاةِ: فَإِنَّ مِلْءَ الْبَهْجَةِ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ، وَفِي يَمِينِكَ مَسَرَّاتٌ أَبَدِيَّةٌ. ١١ 11
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
