1 ل ا تُؤَنِّبْنِي يا اللهُ بِغَضَبِكَ. وَلا تُؤَدِّبْنِي وَأنتَ مُهتاجٌ.

O Lord, rebuke me not in Your wrath, And chasten me not in Your burning anger.

2 ب ِسِهامِكَ اختَرَقْتَنِي، وَبِيَدِكَ ضَغَطْتَنِي.

For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.

3 ف ِي غَضَبِكَ انهَلْتَ عَلَيَّ ضَرباً وَرَضَضْتَنِي. لَيسَ فِيَّ مَوضِعٌ لَمْ يَتَجَرَّحْ. لَيسَتْ فِيَّ عَظْمَةٌ لَمْ تُكسَرْ.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

4 إ ثمِي كَحِملٍ ثَقِيلٍ عَلَى رَأْسِي، أثقَلُ مِنْ أنْ أحتَمِلَهُ.

For my iniquities are gone over my head; As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

5 ق احَتْ قُرُوحِي وَأنتَنَتْ بِسَبَبِ فِعلَتِي الحَمْقاءِ.

My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly.

6 أ نا مَحنِيٌّ بِالألَمِ، وَمَطرُوحٌ، أمشِي نائِحاً كَشَخصٍ فِي حِدادٍ.

I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go mourning all day long.

7 ج ِسْمِي مَحمُومٌ، وَلَيسَ فِي جَسَدِي كُلِّهِ مَوْضِعٌ سَلِيمٌ.

For my loins are filled with burning, And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 أ تَألَّمُ حَتَّى الخَدَرِ. أصرُخُ مِنْ شِدَّةِ حُزْنِ قَلْبِي!

I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

9 ر َبِّي أنتَ تَعلَمُ مَطلَبِي. وَلا تَخفَى عَنْكَ أنّاتِي.

Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.

10 ب ِعُنفٍ يَدُقُّ قَلْبِي، وَقُوَّتِي تَرَكَتْنِي. حَتَّى نُورُ عَينَيَّ تَرَكَنِي!

My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

11 أ صحابِي وَأحِبّائِي يَنفُرُونَ مِنِّي لِمَرَضِي. وَحَتَّى أقرِبائِي يَتَجَنَّبُونَنِي.

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 ا لسّاعُونَ إلَى قَتلِي يَضَعُونَ لِي فِخاخاً. وَالطّالِبُونَ أذِيَّتِي يُهَدِّدُونَ بِتَدمِيرِي. طَوالَ اليَوْمِ يَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَيَّ.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long.

13 و َأنا كَرَجُلٍ أصَمَّ لا أسْمَعُ. وَكَرَجُلٍ أخرَسَ لا أتَكَلَّمُ.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

14 ح َقّاً أنا مِثلُ رَجُلٍ أصَمَّ لا يَسْمَعُ، أبْكَمٍ لا يَتَكَلَّمُ.

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.

15 ل ِأنِّي أنْتَظِرُكَ أنْتَ يا اللهُ. وَأنتَ سَتُجِيبُنِي يا إلَهِي!

For I hope in You, O Lord; You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 ل ا تَدَعْ أعدائِي يَشْمَتُوا بِي لِأجلِ سُقُوطِي! لا تَدَعْهُمْ يَتَفاخَرُوا عَلَيَّ!

For I said, “May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.”

17 أ نا عَلَى حافَّةِ السُّقُوطِ! وَألَمِي حاضِرٌ عَلَى الدَّوامِ.

For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

18 ب ِخَطايايَ أعتَرِفُ، وَعَلَيها أحزَنُ كَثِيراً.

For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

19 أ مّا أعدائِي فَأقوِياءُ وَأصِحّاءُ، وَما زالُوا يَنشُرُونَ أكاذِيبَهُمْ!

But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

20 ا لَّذِينَ يُجازُونَنِي عَنِ الخَيرِ بِشَرٍّ، مُستَمِرُّونَ فِي مُقاوَمَتِي وَأنا أسعَى إلَى الخَيرِ!

And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.

21 ل ا تَتَخَلَّ عَنِّي يا اللهُ! إلَهِي لا تَبْقَ هَكَذا بَعِيداً عَنِّي!

Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me!

22 أ سرِعْ إلَى عَوْنِي! يا رَبِّي، خَلِّصْنِي!

Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
