Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْحَمَامَةِ ٱلْبَكْمَاءِ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ». مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا أَخَذَهُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي جَتَّ. اِرْحَمْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ يَتَهَمَّمُنِي، وَٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ مُحَارِبًا يُضَايِقُنِي.

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High.

٢ تَهَمَّمَنِي أَعْدَائِي ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءَ.

3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

٣ فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي، أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ.

4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

٤ ٱللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. عَلَى ٱللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي ٱلْبَشَرُ؟

5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.

٥ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يُحَرِّفُونَ كَلَامِي. عَلَيَّ كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ بِٱلشَّرِّ.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

٦ يَجْتَمِعُونَ، يَخْتَفُونَ، يُلَاحِظُونَ خُطُواتِي عِنْدَمَا تَرَصَّدُوا نَفْسِي.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God.

٧ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ جَازِهِمْ. بِغَضَبٍ أَخْضِعِٱلشُّعُوبَ يَا ٱللهُ.

8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?

٨ تَيَهَانِي رَاقَبْتَ. ٱجْعَلْ أَنْتَ دُمُوعِي فِي زِقِّكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي سِفْرِكَ؟

9 When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.

٩ حِينَئِذٍ تَرْتَدُّ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ فِي يَوْمٍ أَدْعُوكَ فِيهِ. هَذَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ لِي.

10 In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.

١٠ ٱللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ.

11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

١١ عَلَى ٱللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟

12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

١٢ اَللَّهُمَّ، عَلَيَّ نُذُورُكَ. أُوفِي ذَبَائِحَ شُكْرٍ لَكَ.

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

١٣ لِأَنَّكَ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. نَعَمْ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسِيرَ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ فِي نُورِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ.
