1 O Lord my God, in You I take refuge and put my trust; save me from all those who pursue and persecute me, and deliver me,

يا إلَهِي ، عَلَيكَ أتَّكِلُ. خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ. أنقِذْنِي.

2 L est my foe tear my life like a lion, dragging me away while there is none to deliver.

لِئَلّا يُمَزِّقُونِي كَأسَدٍ، فَأَتَمّزَّقَ وَلا مُنقِذَ لِي!

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

يا إلَهِي ، إنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ اقتَرَفْتُ السَّيِّئاتِ، وَإنْ اقتَرَفَتْ يَدايَ شَرّاً،

4 I f I have paid back with evil him who was at peace with me or without cause have robbed him who was my enemy,

إنْ كُنتُ قَدْ أسَأْتُ إلَى مَنْ يُسالِمُنِي، وَإنْ غَنِمْتُ غَنائِمَ مِنْ عَدُوِّي بِلا سَبَبٍ،

5 L et the enemy pursue my life and take it; yes, let him trample my life to the ground and lay my honor in the dust. Selah!

فَلَيْتَ عَدُوِّي يَسعَى إلَى قَتلِي، وَيُمسِكُ بِي وَيَدُوسُ حَياتِي فِي الأرْضِ! وَيَضَعُ نَفسِي وَكَرامَتِي فِي التُّرابِ. سِلاهْ

6 A rise, O Lord, in Your anger; lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies; and awake for me the justice and vindication You have commanded.

قُمْ يا اللهُ وَأظهِرْ غَضَبَكَ! وَتَصَدَّ لِأعدائِيَ الغاضِبِينَ! أيِّدْنِي بِالعَدلِ الَّذِي أوْصَيْتَنا بِهِ!

7 L et the assembly of the peoples be gathered about You, and return on high over them.

لِتَجتَمِعْ حَولَكَ الشُّعُوبُ، وَلْتَرتَفِعْ عَلَيها قاضِياً.

8 T he Lord judges the people; judge me, O Lord, and do me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.

اللهُ هُوَ مَنْ يُدِينُ الشُّعُوبَ. فَاقْضِ لِي يا اللهُ حَسَبَ صَلاحِيَ وَنَزاهَتِي.

9 O h, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; for You, Who try the hearts and emotions and thinking powers, are a righteous God.

اقطَعْ شَرَّ الأشْرارِ وَأعِنِ المُستِقِيمَ. فَأنتَ أيُّها الإلَهُ البارُّ، فاحِصُ الأفكارِ وَالقُلُوبِ.

10 M y defense and shield depend on God, Who saves the upright in heart.

تُرسِي هُوَ اللهُ، مُخَلِّصُ الصّالِحِينَ الأُمَناءَ.

11 G od is a righteous Judge, yes, a God Who is indignant every day.

اللهُ قاضٍ عادِلٌ. وَهُوَ يَدِينُ الأشْرارَ عَلَى الدَّوامِ.

12 I f a man does not turn and repent, will whet His sword; He has strung and bent His bow and made it ready.

فَإذا لَمْ يَتُبِ الشِّرِّيرُ إلَى اللهِ، سَيَستَلُّ اللهُ سَيفَهُ، وَيَسْحَبُ قَوْسَهُ القَوِيَّ وَيُصَوِّبُ إلَيهِ.

13 H e has also prepared for him deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

أعَدَّ اللهُ أسلِحَتَهُ المُمِيتَةَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ، مُستَخدِماً حَتَّى سِهاماً نارِيَّةً.

14 B ehold, conceives iniquity and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies.

ها هُوَ الشِّرِّيرُ يَحْمِلُ الشَّرَّ. يَحبَلُ بِأعمالِ الأذَى، وَيَلِدُ الخِداعَ.

15 H e made a pit and hollowed it out and has fallen into the hole which he made.

قَدْ يَحْفِرُ إنسانٌ حُفرَةً وَيُغَطِّيها لِتَكُونَ فَخّاً. فَيَقَعُ هُوَ فِيها.

16 H is mischief shall fall back in return upon his own head, and his violence come down upon his own scalp.

يَهوِي عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الفَخُّ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ. وَعَلَى جُمجُمَتِهِ يَقَعُ عُنْفُهُ وَظُلْمُهُ.

17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to His rightness and justice, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

أسَبِّحُ اللهَ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. أُرَنِّمُ مَزامِيرَ إكْراماً لاسْمِ اللهِ العَلِيِّ.
