Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue me.
| ارْحَمْنِي يَارَبُّ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَجِدُّ فِي مُطَارَدَتِي لاِفْتِرَاسِي. يُحَارِبُنِي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ وَيُضَايِقُنِي. | ١ |
2 My enemies harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
| يَتَرَبَّصُ بِي أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ لاِبْتِلاَعِي، وَمَا أَكْثَرَ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءِ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ. | ٢ |
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
| فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٣ |
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
| تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي أَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى كَلاَمِهِ، فَلاَ أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟ | ٤ |
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
| يُحَرِّفُ أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ كَلاَمِي. كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ تَتَآمَرُ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَيَّ. | ٥ |
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
| يَتَجَمَّعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَكْمُنُونَ لِي. يَتَرَصَّدُونَ خُطُوَاتِي وَيَبْتَغُونَ نَفْسِي. | ٦ |
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
| عَاقِبْهُمْ يَارَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى إِثْمِهِمْ. أَخْضِعْ بِغَضَبِكَ الشُّعُوبَ يَااللهُ. | ٧ |
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
| أَنْتَ رَاقَبْتَ تَشَرُّدِي. فَاحْفَظْ دُمُوعِي فِي خَزَانَتِكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي كِتَابِكَ؟ | ٨ |
9 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
| عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوكَ يَتَقَهْقَرُ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. وَهَذَا مَا تَيَقَّنْتُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ اللهَ مَعِي. | ٩ |
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
| أَحْمَدُ اللهَ عَلَى كَلاَمِهِ. أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ عَلَى كَلاَمِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
| عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلاَ أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الإِنْسَانُ؟ | ١١ |
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
| يَارَبُّ إِنِّي أُوْفِي مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ نُذُورٍ، وَأُقَرِّبُ لَكَ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ. | ١٢ |
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
| لأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَحَفِظْتَ رِجْلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الْحَيَاةِ. | ١٣ |
