1 ل َكَ يا اللهُ أُرَنِّمُ هَذا، وَأتَغَنَّى بِمَحَبَّتِكَ وَعَدلِكَ.

¶ I will sing of mercy and judgment; unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.

2 س َأعِيشُ حَياةً نَقِيَّةً، سَأسلُكُ بِقَلبٍ نَقِيٍّ فِي بَيتِي. فَمَتَى سَتَأتِي إلَيَّ يا اللهُ؟

When thou shalt come unto me, I will walk in the way of perfection and understand. I will walk in the midst of my house in the perfection of my heart.

3 ل َنْ أضَعَ أمراً شِرِّيراً أمامَ عَينَيَّ. أُبغِضُ فِعلَ ما يُبعِدُنِي عَنِ اللهِ، وَأرفُضُ أنْ أفعَلَهُ.

I will set nothing of Belial before my eyes: I hate the work of those that betray; it shall not cleave to me.

4 ل ِيَبتَعِدْ عَنِّي النّاسُ المُلتَوُونَ. مَعَ الشَّرِّ لَنْ يَكُونَ نَصِيبِي.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person.

5 س َأُوَبِّخُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَغتابُ جارَهُ أمامِي. المُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَالمُنتَفِخُونَ لا أُطِيقُهُمْ.

Whosoever secretly slanders his neighbour, I will cut off; he that has a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

6 أ بحَثُ عَنْ أمَناءِ هَذِهِ الأرْضِ، لِكَي يَعِيشُوا مَعِي. لَنْ يَخدِمَنِي إلّا الَّذِينَ يَسلُكُونَ فِي طَهارَةٍ.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walks in the way of perfection, he shall serve me.

7 ل َنْ يَسكُنَ فِي بَيتِي مُخادِعٍ! وَلَنْ يُسمَحَ لِكاذِبٍ بِأنْ يَخدِمَنِي.

He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

8 س َأُبِيدُ كُلَّ هَؤُلاءِ الأشرارِ السّاكِنِينَ فِي الأرْضِ. وَسَأُخلِي الأشرارَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ اللهِ.

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
