1 ي ا اللهُ نَجِّنِي لأنَّ الماءَ قَدِ ارتَفَعَ إلَى عُنقِي.

Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.

2 ف ِي الوَحلِ العَمِيقِ أغُوصُ، وَلَيسَ لِقَدَمَيَّ مَوضِعٌ. دَخَلتُ فِي المِياهِ العَمِيقَةِ، وَالتَّيّارُ يَجرِفُنِي!

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

3 م ِنَ الاستِغاثَةِ تَعِبتُ. وَحَلقِي يُؤلِمُنِي. تَعِبَتْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ عَيْنايَ بَينَما أنا أنتَظِرُ اللهَ.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

4 ا لَّذِينَ يَبغِضُونَنِي بِلا سَبَبٍ أكثَرُ مِنْ شَعرِ رَأسِي. الَّذِينَ يُحاوِلُونَ تَدمِيرِي كَثِرُوا، وَحَولِيَ كَذَبُوا. وَالآنَ لا بُدَّ أنْ أرُدَّ ما لَمْ أسرِقْ!

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: That which I took not away I have to restore.

5 ذ ُنُوبِي مَعرُوفَةٌ لَدَيكَ يا اللهُ! لا أقدِرُ أنْ أُخفِيَ عَنكَ ذَنبِي.

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; And my sins are not hid from thee.

6 أ يُّها الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ القَدِيرُ، لا تَدَعْ مَنْ يَرجُونَكَ يَخجَلُوا مِنِّي. يا إلَهَ إسرائِيلَ، لا تَدَعْ مَنْ يَطلُبُونَكَ يَقُولُوا فِيَّ سُوءاً.

Let not them that wait for thee be put to shame through me, O Lord Jehovah of hosts: Let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel.

7 و َجهِي مُغَطَّىً بِالعارِ، وَأنا أحتَمِلُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أجلِكَ!

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; Shame hath covered my face.

8 ك َغَرِيبٍ صِرتُ عِندَ إخْوَتِي. وَكَأجنَبِيٍّ عِندَ أبناءِ أُمِّي.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, And an alien unto my mother's children.

9 ف َقَدْ أكَلَتْنِي الغَيْرَةُ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ، وَإهاناتُ الَّذِينَ أهانُوكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ!

For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.

10 ح ِينَ أبكِي وَأصُومُ للهِ، فَلا يَكُفُّونَ عَنْ تَحقِيرِي.

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, That was to my reproach.

11 أ لبَسُ الخَيشَ حُزناً، وَأصِيرُ لَهُمْ أُضحُوكَةً.

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword unto them.

12 ا لَّذِينَ يَجلِسُونَ عِندَ بَوّابَةِ المَدِينَةِ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيَّ، وَشارِبُو الخَمرِ يُؤَلِّفُونَ عَنِّي أغانِيَ.

They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards.

13 أ مّا أنا يا اللهُ ، فَأُصَلِّي لِكَي أحظَى بِرِضاكَ. فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي بِعَظِيمِ رَحمَتِكَ وَقُوَّةِ خَلاصِكَ.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness, Answer me in the truth of thy salvation.

14 م ِنْ هَذا الوَحلِ نَجِّنِي، لِئَلّا أغرَقَ أكثَرَ! أعِنِّي فَأنجُوَ مِنْ أعْدائِي، وَمِنَ المِياهِ العَمِيقَةِ.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15 ح ِينَئِذٍ، لا يَجرِفُنِي التَّيّارُ، وَلا تَبتَلِعُنِي المِياهُ العَمِيقَةُ، وَلا تُغلِقُ الهاوِيَةُ فَمَها عَلَيَّ!

Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, Neither let the deep shallow me up; And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

16 ا ستَجِبْ يا اللهُ لِي بِرَحمَتِكَ الصّالِحَةِ. بِعَظِيمِ مَحَبَّتِكَ التَفِتْ إلَيَّ.

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy lovingkindness is good: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou unto me.

17 ل ا تَخْتَفِ عَنْ عَبدِكَ! أنا فِي ضِيقٍ، فَأَسرِعْ باستِجابَتِكَ!

And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in distress; answer me speedily.

18 ت َعالَ خَلِّصْنِي! افدِنِي. بِسَبَبِ أعدائِيَ تَعالَ وَحَرِّرْنِي!

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: Ransom me because of mine enemies.

19 ع الِمٌ أنتَ بِعارِي وَحَرَجِي وَخِزيِي. وَخُصُومِي أنتَ تَعرِفُهُمْ.

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before thee.

20 ي ُذِلُّنِي هَذا الخِزيُ، فَأنا يائِسٌ! رَجَوْتُ عَطفاً، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ عَطفٍ. رَجَوْتُ مَنْ يُعَزُّونَنِي، فَما وَجَدتُ أحَداً.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

21 ل َكِنَّهُمْ دَسُّوا سُمّاً فِي طَعامِي. وَفِي عَطَشِي أعطُونِي خَلّاً.

They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22 ل ِتَكُنْ مَوائِدُهُمْ مَصائِدَ لَهُمْ. وَلَيْتَ وَلائِمَهُمْ لأصحابِهِمْ تَصِيرُ مِصيَدَةً.

Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

23 ل َيتَ عُيُونَهُمْ تُظلِمُ كَيْ لا يُبصِرُوا، وَلَيتَ ظُهُورَهُمْ تَنحَنِي بِاستِمرارٍ.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; And make their loins continually to shake.

24 ا سْكُبْ عَلَيهِمْ غَضَبَكَ يا اللهُ، وَلْتُدرِكْهُمْ نارُكَ!

Pour out thine indignation upon them, And let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

25 خ َرِّبْ بُيُوتَهُمْ! فَلا يَسكُنُ فِيها أحَدٌ!

Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.

26 ح َتَّى يَهرُبُوا عِندَما أضرِبُهُمْ! وَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ أوجاعٌ وَجِراحٌ لِيَتَحَدَّثُوا عَنها!

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

27 ك ما يَستَحِقُّونَ عاقِبهُمْ! وَبِعَدلِكَ لا تَقبَلْهُمْ.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.

28 ا مْحُ أسماءَهُمْ مِنْ سِفرِ الحَياةِ! وَمَعَ الصّالِحِينَ لا تَذكُرْها.

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.

29 أ مّا أنا فَمِسكِينٌ وَمُتَألِّمٌ. خَلاصُكَ يا اللهُ يَرْفَعُنِي.

But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30 س َأُسَبِّحُ اسْمَ اللهِ غِناءً، سَأُمَجِّدُهُ بِتَرانيمِ التَّسبِيحِ.

I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31 ف َيَفرَحُ اللهُ بِها أكثَرَ مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ ثَورٍ كامِلٍ.

And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32 ي َرَى المَساكِينُ هَذا فَيَفرَحُونَ، وَتَنتَعِشُ أرواحُ عابِدِي اللهِ.

The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

33 ل أنَّهُمْ سَيَعرِفُونَ أنَّ اللهَ يَستَمِعُ إلَى المَساكِينِ، وَلا يَحتَقِرُ أسراهُ.

For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.

34 ل ِتُسَبِّحِ اللهَ السَّماءُ وَالأرْضُ وَكُلُّ ما فِيهِما.

Let heaven and earth praise him, The seas, and everything that moveth therein.

35 ل أنَّ اللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيَبنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذا. لِيَسكُنَ هُناكَ شَعبُهُ وَيَرِثُوا الأرْضَ.

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

36 ف َيَرِثَها نَسلُ عَبِيدِهِ أيضاً، وَيَسكُنَ كُلُّ مُحِبِّي اسْمِهِ هُناكَ.

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it; And they that love his name shall dwell therein.
