Psalms 109

1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا اللهُ، يَا مَنْ أُسَبِّحُهُ، لَا تَعْتَصِمْ بِالصَّمْتِ.

2 For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

٢ فَقَدْ فَغَرَ أَشْرَارٌ مُخَادِعُونَ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ ضِدِّي، وَتَقَوَّلُوا عَلَيَّ بِالكَذِبِ،

3 And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

٣ يُحَاصِرُونَنِي بِكَلامِ بُغْضٍ، وَيُهَاجِمُونَنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ.

4 For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

٤ يُبَادِلُونَ مَحَبَّتِي بِخِصَامٍ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

٥ يُجَازُونَنِي شَرّاً مُقَابِلَ خَيْرِي، وَبُغْضاً بَدَلَ حُبِّي.

6 Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

٦ وَلِّ عَلَى عَدُوِّي قَاضِياً ظَالِماً، وَلْيَقِفْ خَصْمُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ يَتَّهِمُهُ جَوْراً.

7 When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

٧ عِنْدَ مُحَاكَمَتِهِ لِيَثْبُتْ عَلَيْهِ ذَنْبُهُ، وَلْتُحْسَبْ لَهُ صَلاتُهُ خَطِيئَةً.

8 Let his days be few, let another take his office;

٨ لِتَقْصُرْ أَيَّامُهُ وَلْيَتَوَلَّ وَظِيفَتَهُ آخَرُ.

9 Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

٩ لِيَتَيَتَّمْ بَنُوهُ وَتَتَرَمَّلْ زَوْجَتُهُ.

10 Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

١٠ لِيَتَشَرَّدْ بَنُوهُ وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَلْيَلْتَمِسُوا قُوتَهُمْ بَعِيداً عَنْ خَرَائِبِ سُكْنَاهُمْ.

11 Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

١١ لِيَسْتَرْهِنِ الْمُدَايِنُ كُلَّ مُمْتَلَكَاتِهِ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ الْغُرَبَاءُ ثِمَارَ تَعَبِهِ.

12 Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

١٢ لِيَنْقَرِضْ مَنْ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلْيَنْقَطِعْ مَنْ يَتَحَنَّنُ عَلَى أَيْتَامِهِ.

13 Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

١٣ لِيَنْقَرِضْ نَسْلُهُ وَلْيُمْحَ اسْمُهُمْ مِنَ الْجِيلِ الْقَادِمِ.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

١٤ لِيَذْكُرِ الرَّبُّ إِثْمَ آبَائِهِ، وَلَا يَغْفِرْ خَطِيئَةَ أُمِّهِ.

15 Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

١٥ لِتَمْثُلْ خَطَايَاهُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً كَيْ يَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

16 Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

١٦ لأَنَّهُ تَغَافَلَ عَنْ إِبْدَاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ، بَلْ تَعَقَّبَ الفَقِيرَ الْمُنْسَحِقَ الْقَلْبِ، لِيُمِيتَهُ.

17 And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

١٧ أَحَبَّ اللَّعْنَةَ فَلَحِقَتْ بِهِ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَابْتَعَدَتْ عَنْهُ.

18 And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

١٨ اكْتَسَى اللَّعْنَةَ كَرِدَاءٍ، فَتَسَرَّبَتْ إِلَى بَاطِنِهِ كَالْمِيَاهِ وَإِلَى عِظَامِهِ كَالزَّيْتِ.

19 Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

١٩ فَلْتَكُنْ لَهُ كَرِدَاءٍ يَتَلَفَّعُ بِهِ، وَكَحِزَامٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهِ دَائِماً.

20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

٢٠ هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، النَّاطِقِينَ شَرّاً عَلَى نَفْسِي.

21 But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

٢١ أَمَّا أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ فَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَأَنْقِذْنِي لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ.

22 For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

٢٢ فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ وَقَلْبِي جَرِيحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي.

23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

٢٣ قَدْ تَلاشَيْتُ كَالظِّلِّ عِنْدَ الْمَغِيبِ، وَانْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ.

24 My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

٢٤ وَهَنَتْ رُكْبَتَايَ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ، وَهُزِلَ جَسَدِي كَثِيراً.

25 And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

٢٥ صِرْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ عَاراً، يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ فَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ شَامِتِينَ.

26 Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

٢٦ أَعِنِّي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي، خَلِّصْنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ.

27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

٢٧ فَيُدْرِكُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ، وَأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ.

28 Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

٢٨ هُمْ يَلْعَنُونَنِي أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُنِي. لِيَخْزَ المُشْتَكُونَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَفْرَحَ أَنَا عَبْدَكَ.

29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

٢٩ لِيَكْتَسِ خُصُومِي خَجَلاً، وَلْيَتَلَفَّعُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَالرِّدَاءِ.

30 I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

٣٠ بِهُتَافٍ أَرْفَعُ لِلرَّبِّ شُكْراً عَظِيماً، وَفِي وَسَطِ جُمْهُورٍ غَفِيرٍ أُسَبِّحُهُ.

31 For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.

٣١ لأَنَّهُ يَقِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِ المَظْلُومِ لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ الْحَاكِمِينَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ.
