أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، إِلَيْكَ الْتَجَأْتُ، فَأَنْقِذْنِي وَنَجِّنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُطَارِدِيَّ، ١ 1
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
لِئَلاَّ يَفْتَرِسَ الْعَدُوُّ نَفْسِي كَالأَسَدِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُنِي. ٢ 2
Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ اقْتَرَفْتُ هَذِهِ الإِسَاءَةَ، وَكَانَتْ يَدَايَ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَتَا هَذَا الإِثْمَ، ٣ 3
O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسَأْتُ لِمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيَّ وَسَلَبْتُ عَدُوِّي مِنْ غَيْرِ سَبَبٍ، ٤ 4
if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
إِذَنْ فَلْيُطَارِدِ الْعَدُوُّ نَفْسِي ويَنْزِعْهَا مِنِّي، وَلْيَدُسْ فِي الأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي، وَيُعَفِّرْ فِي التُّرَابِ شَرَفِي. ٥ 5
Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
انْهَضْ يَارَبُّ فِي احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِكَ، وَانْتَصِبْ فِي وَجْهِ سَخَطِ خُصُومِي، يَامَنْ أَوْصَيْتَ بِالْعَدْلِ. ٦ 6
Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command.
لِتُحِطْ بِكَ جَمَاعَةُ الشُّعُوبِ فَتَحْكُمَهَا مِنْ مِنَصَّةِ الْقَضَاءِ الْعَالِيَةِ. ٧ 7
And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.
إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَدِينُ الأُمَمَ. اقضِ لِي يَارَبُّ كَحَقِّي، بِحَسَبِ مَا فِيَّ مِنْ كَمَالٍ. ٨ 8
The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
ضَعْ حَدّاً لِشَرِّ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَثْبِتْ بَرَاءَةَ الأَبْرَارِ، أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ الْعَادِلُ فَاحِصُ الْقُلُوبِ وَالدَّخَائِلِ. ٩ 9
Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.
مَلْجَإِي عِنْدَ اللهِ مُخَلِّصِ مُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. ١٠ 10
My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
اللهُ قَاضٍ عَادِلٌ، وَهُوَ إِلَهٌ يَسْخَطُ عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. ١١ 11
God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
صَقَلَ سَيْفَهُ لِيَضْرِبَ بِهِ الشِّرِّيرَ الَّذِي لاَ يَتُوبُ. وَتَّرَ قَوْسَهُ وَهَيَّأَهَا. ١٢ 12
If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
أَعَدَّ لَهُ الأَسْلِحَةَ الْقَتَّالَةَ، وَجَعَلَ سِهَامَهُ مُحْرِقَةً. ١٣ 13
And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
هُوَذَا الْعَدُوُّ يَتَمَخَّضُ بِالإِثْمِ، يَحْبَلُ بِالأَذَى، وَيَلِدُ كَذِباً. ١٤ 14
Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
حَفَرَ بِئْراً وَعَمَّقَهَا، فَسَقَطَ فِيهَا. ١٥ 15
He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
شَرُّهُ يَرْتَدُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَظُلْمُهُ يَهْبِطُ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ. ١٦ 16
His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
إِنِّي أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَدَالَتِهِ، وَأَتَرَنَّمُ لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ العَلِيِّ. ١٧ 17
I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
