1 ا حمِنِي يا اللهُ لِأنِّي عَلَيكَ أعتَمِدُ!

Keep me, O God, for I am safe in You.

2 ق ُلْتُ للهِ: «أنتَ رَبِّي! بَرَكاتِي كُلُّها مِنْكَ تَأْتِي!

I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord. All the good things I have come from You.”

3 ا لقِدِّيسُونَ الَّذِينَ فِي الأرْضِ هُمُ الجَلِيلُونَ الَّذِينَ أُسَرُّ وَأتَمَتَّعُ بِهِمْ.»

As for those in the land who belong to You, they are the great ones in whom is all my joy.

4 ل َكِنْ ما أكثَرَ أوجاعَ الَّذِينَ يَطلُبُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى! وَلا أشتَرِكُ فِي سَكائِبِ الدَّمِ الَّتِي يُقَدِّمُونَها. وَلا أجعَلُ أسماءَ آلِهَتِهِمْ تَمُسُّ لِسانِي!

Those who have traded for another god bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their altar gifts of blood. And I will not take their names upon my lips.

5 ن َصِيبِي هُوَ اللهُ وَكَأْسِي! أنتَ تُمْسِكُ بِمِيراثِي بَينَ يَدَيكَ!

The Lord is all that I am to receive, and my cup. My future is in Your hands.

6 و َقَعَ نَصِيبِي فِي أرْضٍ طَيِّبَةٍ. فَما أحلَى مِيراثِي!

The land given to me is good. Yes, my share is beautiful to me.

7 أ ُبارِكُ اللهَ ، الَّذِي يَنصَحُنِي. يُعَلِّمُنِي حَتَّى فِي اللَّيلِ وَيُوَجِّهُ قَلْبِي.

I will give honor and thanks to the Lord, Who has told me what to do. Yes, even at night my mind teaches me.

8 ج َعَلْتُ اللهَ أمامِي دائِماً، هُوَ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَنْ أتَزَعْزَعَ.

I have placed the Lord always in front of me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

9 ل ِهَذا يَفرَحُ قَلبِي وَتَبتَهِجُ رُوحِي. حَتَّى جَسَدِي يَسكُنُ فِي أمانٍ.

And so my heart is glad. My soul is full of joy. My body also will rest without fear.

10 ل ِأنَّكَ لَنْ تَترُكَ نَفسِي فِي الهاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تابِعَكَ التَّقِيِّ يَتَعَفَّنُ.

For You will not give me over to the grave. And You will not allow Your Holy One to return to dust.

11 ت ُعَلِّمُنِي طَرِيقَ الحَياةِ! مَعكَ أشبَعُ سُرُوراً. أسْعَدُ، وَأنا بِجانِبِكَ، إلَى الأبَدِ!

You will show me the way of life. Being with You is to be full of joy. In Your right hand there is happiness forever.
