1 ف ِي أعماقِ قَلبِ الشِّرِّيرِ صَوتٌ يَدعُوهُ للإثمِ. وَلا يَضَعُ مَهابَةَ اللهِ أمامَ عَينَيهِ.

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 ي َكذِبُ عَلَى نَفسِهِ فَلا يَرَى إثْمَهُ. وَلِهَذا لا يَطلُبُ الغُفْرانَ.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

3 ك َلِماتُهُ أكاذِيبٌ باطِلَةٌ وَخِداعٌ، لا تُعطِي حِكمَةً وَلا نَفْعَ مِنْها.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good.

4 ي ُخَطِّطُ لِعَمَلِ الشَّرِّ وَهُوَ مُسْتَلْقٍ فِي فِراشِهِ. يَقُومُ وَيَسلُكُ فِي طَرِيقٍ لا نَفْعَ مِنْها. لا يَرفُضُ أنْ يَفعَلَ شَرّاً.

He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil.

5 ي ا اللهُ ، يا ساكِنَ السَّماواتِ، إلَى السَّماءِ مَحَبَّتُكَ الصّادِقَةُ، وَإلَى السَّحابِ أمانَتُكَ!

Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.

6 ب ِرُّكَ كالجِبالِ الشّاهِقَةِ. وَأحكامُكَ كَعُمْقِ المُحِيطِ. تَهتَمُّ بِالإنسانِ وَالحَيوانِ يا اللهُ.

Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.

7 أ ثْمَنُ مِنْ مَحَبَّتِكَ المُخلِصَةِ لا يُوجَدُ. المَلائِكَةُ وَالنّاسُ يَلجَأُونَ إلَى ظِلِّ جَناحَيكَ.

How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

8 م ِنْ فَيضِ أطايِبِ بَيتِكَ يَأكُلُونَ. مِنْ نَهرِكَ العَذْبِ يَشْرَبُونَ.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9 ف َمِنْكَ يَتَدَفَّقُ يُنبُوعُ الحَياةِ، وَبِفَضلِ نُورِكَ نَرَى النُّورَ.

For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.

10 ف َأظهِرْ لُطفَكَ وَرَحمَتَكَ لِعارِفِيكَ، وَجُودَكَ لِمُستَقِيمِي القَلْبِ.

Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 ل ا تَدَعِ المُتَكَبِّرِينَ يَدُوسُونِي، وَلا الأشْرارَ يُؤْذُونِي.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 ا نظُرْ أينَ سَقَطَ فاعِلُو الشَّرِّ. ها هُمْ مَطرُوحُونَ لا يَقُومُونَ.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
