1 ا رحَمنِي يا اللهُ لأنَّ هُناكَ مَنْ يَتَعَقَّبُنِي. وَخَصمِيَ يُضايِقُنِي طَوالَ اليَومِ.

Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me.

2 ي َتَجَسَّسُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيُطارِدُونَنِي اليَومَ كُلَّهُ. خُصُومٌ كَثِيرُونَ يُعادُونَنِي بِكِبْرِياءٍ.

My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

3 ل َكِنَّنِي أتَّكِلُ عَلَيكَ مِنْ بِدايَةِ خَوفِي.

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

4 و َأُسَبِّحُ اللهَ عَلَى وَعدِهِ لِي. عَلَى اللهِ أتَّكِلُ. فَلا أخشَى ما يُمكِنُ لإنسانٍ أنْ يَفعَلَهُ بِي.

In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

5 ي ُشَوِّهُونَ كَلامِي طَوالَ اليَومِ، وَلِلشَّرِّ يُخَطِّطُونَ ضِدِّي.

All day they twist my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 ي َتَشاوَرُونَ مَعاً، وَيُراقِبُونَ كُلَّ خَطَواتِي يَتَعَقَّبُونَ كُلَّ خُطوَةٍ آمِلِينَ اصطِيادَ رُوحِي.

They gather together, They hide, they mark my steps, When they lie in wait for my life.

7 أ َبْعِدْهُمْ يا اللهُ لِشَرِّهِمْ. أَخْضِعْهُمْ تَحتَ غَضَبِ الشُّعُوبِ الغَرِيبَةِ.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

8 ل ا رَيبَ أنَّكَ أحصَيتَ رَعَشاتِ عَذابِي. اجمَعْ دُمُوعِي فِي قارُورَتِكَ لِتَذكُرَها. ألَمْ تَنتَبِهْ إلَيها؟

You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?

9 ل ِهَذا سَيَتَراجَعُ أعدائِي حِينَ أدعُوكَ. مُتَيَقِّنٌ أنا مِنْ ذَلِكَ، لأنَّكَ أنتَ إلَهِي!

When I cry out to You, Then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me.

10 أ ُسَبِّحُ اللهَ عَلَى وَعدِهِ لِي. أُسَبِّحُ اللهَ عَلَى وَعدِهِ لِي.

In God (I will praise His word), In the Lord (I will praise His word),

11 ع َلَى اللهِ أتَّكِلُ فَلا أخافُ، فَماذا يُمكِنُ لإنسانٍ أنْ يَفعَلَ بِي.

In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 س َأفِي للهِ بِوَعدِي. لَكَ أُقَدِّمُ يا اللهُ تَقدِماتِ الشُّكرِ.

Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You,

13 ل أنَّكَ مِنَ المَوتِ أنقَذتَ نَفسِي. وَحَفِظتَ مِنَ التَّعَثُّرِ قَدَمَيَّ. لِكَي أمشِيَ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الأحياءِ.

For You have delivered my soul from death. Have You not kept my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
