1 خ َلِّصْنِي باسمِكَ يا اللهُ! وَبِقُوَّتِكَ العَظِيمَةِ أبْرِئْنِي وَاحْكُمْ لِي.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

2 ي ا اللهُ اسْمَعْ صَلاتِي، وَإلَى كَلِماتِي انتَبِهْ.

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

3 ه اجَمَنِي غُرَباءٌ، أُناسٌ أقوِياءُ يُرِيدُونَ قَتلِي. لا يَضَعُونَ اللهَ أمامَ أعيُنِهِمْ. سِلاهْ

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

4 ه ا هُوَ اللهُ مُعِينِي. الرَّبُّ حافِظُ حَياتِي.

Lo, God a helper to me, The Lord with those supporting my soul,

5 ي ُعاقِبُ أعدائِي بِحَسَبِ شَرِّهِمْ. أرِنِي يا اللهُ أمانَتَكَ وَدَمِّرْهُمْ.

Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

6 س َأُقَدِّمُ لَكَ ذَبائِحَ اختِيارِيَّةً، وَسَأحمَدُ اسْمَكَ الصّالِحَ يا اللهُ.

With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy name, O Jehovah, for good,

7 ل أنَّكَ أنقَذْتَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقاتِي. وَأنا رَأيتُ ذَلِكَ بِعَينَيَّ!

For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!
