1 ي ا إلَهِي ، عَلَيكَ أتَّكِلُ. خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مُضْطَهِدِيَّ. أنقِذْنِي.

O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,

2 ل ِئَلّا يُمَزِّقُونِي كَأسَدٍ، فَأَتَمّزَّقَ وَلا مُنقِذَ لِي!

Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 ي ا إلَهِي ، إنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ اقتَرَفْتُ السَّيِّئاتِ، وَإنْ اقتَرَفَتْ يَدايَ شَرّاً،

O Lord my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands,

4 إ نْ كُنتُ قَدْ أسَأْتُ إلَى مَنْ يُسالِمُنِي، وَإنْ غَنِمْتُ غَنائِمَ مِنْ عَدُوِّي بِلا سَبَبٍ،

If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,

5 ف َلَيْتَ عَدُوِّي يَسعَى إلَى قَتلِي، وَيُمسِكُ بِي وَيَدُوسُ حَياتِي فِي الأرْضِ! وَيَضَعُ نَفسِي وَكَرامَتِي فِي التُّرابِ. سِلاهْ

Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah

6 ق ُمْ يا اللهُ وَأظهِرْ غَضَبَكَ! وَتَصَدَّ لِأعدائِيَ الغاضِبِينَ! أيِّدْنِي بِالعَدلِ الَّذِي أوْصَيْتَنا بِهِ!

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!

7 ل ِتَجتَمِعْ حَولَكَ الشُّعُوبُ، وَلْتَرتَفِعْ عَلَيها قاضِياً.

So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.

8 ا للهُ هُوَ مَنْ يُدِينُ الشُّعُوبَ. فَاقْضِ لِي يا اللهُ حَسَبَ صَلاحِيَ وَنَزاهَتِي.

The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.

9 ا قطَعْ شَرَّ الأشْرارِ وَأعِنِ المُستِقِيمَ. فَأنتَ أيُّها الإلَهُ البارُّ، فاحِصُ الأفكارِ وَالقُلُوبِ.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

10 ت ُرسِي هُوَ اللهُ، مُخَلِّصُ الصّالِحِينَ الأُمَناءَ.

My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.

11 ا للهُ قاضٍ عادِلٌ. وَهُوَ يَدِينُ الأشْرارَ عَلَى الدَّوامِ.

God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.

12 ف َإذا لَمْ يَتُبِ الشِّرِّيرُ إلَى اللهِ، سَيَستَلُّ اللهُ سَيفَهُ، وَيَسْحَبُ قَوْسَهُ القَوِيَّ وَيُصَوِّبُ إلَيهِ.

If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.

13 أ عَدَّ اللهُ أسلِحَتَهُ المُمِيتَةَ لِلشِّرِّيرِ، مُستَخدِماً حَتَّى سِهاماً نارِيَّةً.

He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.

14 ه ا هُوَ الشِّرِّيرُ يَحْمِلُ الشَّرَّ. يَحبَلُ بِأعمالِ الأذَى، وَيَلِدُ الخِداعَ.

Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

15 ق َدْ يَحْفِرُ إنسانٌ حُفرَةً وَيُغَطِّيها لِتَكُونَ فَخّاً. فَيَقَعُ هُوَ فِيها.

He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

16 ي َهوِي عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الفَخُّ الَّذِي صَنَعَهُ. وَعَلَى جُمجُمَتِهِ يَقَعُ عُنْفُهُ وَظُلْمُهُ.

His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

17 أ سَبِّحُ اللهَ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ. أُرَنِّمُ مَزامِيرَ إكْراماً لاسْمِ اللهِ العَلِيِّ.

I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
