1 ا رحَمْنِي يا اللهُ ارحَمْنِي. لأنِّي جَعَلْتُكَ مَلْجَأِي، وَتَحتَ ظِلِّ جَناحَيكَ أحتَمِي، إلَى أنْ تَعبُرَ العَواصِفُ المُدَمِّرَةُ.

Show me loving-kindness, O God, show me loving-kindness. For my soul goes to You to be safe. And I will be safe in the shadow of Your wings until the trouble has passed.

2 أ دعُو اللهَ العَلِيَّ، اللهَ الَّذِي يَسهَرُ عَلَيَّ.

I will cry to God Most High, to God Who finishes all things for me.

3 ي ُرسِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ عَوناً وَيُنَجِّينِي، وَيُذِلُّ مَنْ يَضطَهِدُنِي. سَيُرسِلُ رَحمَتَهُ وَأمانَتَهُ. سِلاهْ

He will send from heaven and save me. He will put to shame him who is breaking me under his feet. God will send His loving-kindness and His truth.

4 ح َياتِي فِي خَطَرٍ، وَأنا مُحاطٌ بِأعداءٍ. كَأنِّي وَسَطَ أُسُودٍ تَفتَرِسُ البَشَرَ. أسنانُها رِماحٌ وَسِهامٌ، وَألسِنَتُها سُيُوفٌ ماضِيَةٌ.

My soul is among lions. I must lie among the sons of men who breathe fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are a sharp sword.

5 أ علَى مِنَ السَّماواتِ أنتَ يا اللهُ. وَمَجدُكَ يُغَطِّي كُلَّ الأرْضِ!

Be lifted up above the heavens, O God. Let Your shining-greatness be above all the earth.

6 ح اوَلُوا أنْ يَنْصِبُوا لِي أشراكاً. نَشَرُوا شَبَكَةً لِيُوقِعُوا قَدَمَيَّ. حَفَرُوا حُفرَةً لِي. لَكِنَّ فَخَّهُمُ اصْطادَهُمْ! سِلاهْ

They have set a net for my steps. My soul is brought down. They dug a deep hole in front of me. But they themselves have fallen into it.

7 ق َلبِي ثابِتٌ يا اللهُ، قَلبِي ثابِتٌ، وَسَأُغَنِّي وَأعزِفُ لَكَ.

My heart will not be moved, O God. My heart cannot be moved. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

8 ا ستَيقِظِي يا نَفسِي! استَيقِظِي يا قَياثِيرُ وَيا أعْوادُ وَلنُوقِظِ الفَجرَ!

Awake, my shining-greatness. Awake, harps. I will awake early in the morning.

9 س َأُسَبِّحُكَ يا رَبُّ بَينَ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ! وَأمامَ كُلِّ بَشَرٍ سَأتَغَنَّى بِكَ.

O Lord, I will give thanks to You among the people. I will sing praises to You among the nations.

10 ل أنَّ رَحمَتَكَ أعظَمُ مِنَ السَّماواتِ، وَأعلَى مِنْ أعلَى الغُيُومِ أمانَتُكَ!

For Your loving-kindness is great to the heavens, and Your truth to the clouds.

11 أ علَى مِنَ السَّماواتِ أنتَ يا اللهُ، وَمَجدُكَ يُغَطِّي كُلَّ الأرْضِ.

Be lifted up above the heavens, O God. Let Your shining-greatness be above all the earth.
