1 ل ا تَبْقَ صامِتاً يا اللهُ، لا تَهدأْ وَلا تَسكُتْ يا اللهُ.

Keep not silence, O God; hold not Your peace or be still, O God.

2 أ عداؤُكَ الَّذِينَ يُبغِضُونَكَ مُتَغَطرِسُونَ، يُقَعْقِعُونَ بِسُيُوفِهِمْ.

For, behold, Your enemies are in tumult, and those who hate You have raised their heads.

3 ي َجتَمِعُونَ مَعاً وَيُخَطِّطُونَ لِمُحارَبَةِ شَعبِكَ الغالِي.

They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult together against Your hidden and precious ones.

4 ي َقُولُونَ: «لِنَمسَحْهُمْ مِنْ عَلَى وَجهِ الأرْضِ، فَلا يَتَذَكَّرَ أحَدٌ فِيما بَعْدُ اسْمَ إسْرائِيلَ.»

They have said, Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be in remembrance no more.

5 ت َآمَرَ هَؤُلاءِ صَفّاً واحِداً، وَتَعاهَدُوا ضِدَّكَ.

For they have consulted together with one accord and one heart; against You they make a covenant—

6 و َهُمْ قَبائِلُ أدُومَ وَالإسْماعِيلِيِّينَ وَالمُوآبِيِّينَ وَالهاجَرِيِّينَ

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

7 و َسُكّانُ جُبِيلَ وَالعَمُّونِيُّونَ وَعَمالِيقُ وَالفَلَسطِيِّونَ وَسُكّانُ صُورَ.

Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

8 ح َتَّى أشُّورُ انضَمَّ إلَيْهِمْ، وَصارَ ذِراعاً لِنَسلِ لُوطَ! سِلاهْ

Assyria also has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot and have been an arm to them. Selah!

9 ا فعَلْ بِهِمْ كَما فَعَلْتَ بِمِدْيانَ وَسِيسَرا وَيابِينَ عِندَ وادِي قِيشُونَ.

Do to them as the Midianites, as to Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon,

10 ق ُتِلُوا فِي عَينِ دُورٍ، وَتَعَفَّنَتْ عَلَى الأرْضِ جُثَثُهُمْ.

Who perished at Endor, who became like manure for the earth.

11 ا فعَلْ بِقادَتِهِمْ كَما فَعلتَ بِغُرابٍ وَذِئْبٍ، افعَلْ بِقادَتِهِمْ كَما فَعَلْتَ بِزَبَحَ وَصَلْمُنّاعَ.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes as Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 ق الَ هَؤُلاءِ: «لِنَستَولِ عَلَى شَعبِ اللهِ.»

Who say, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.

13 ا عصِفْ بِهِمْ يا إلَهِي كَما تَعصِفُ الرِّيحُ بِغُبارِ القَمْحِ وَالقَشِّ.

O my God, make them like whirling dust, like stubble or chaff before the wind!

14 ك َنْ كَنارٍ فِي غابَةٍ، كَحَرِيقٍ هائِلٍ يَلتَهِمُ التِّلالَ.

As fire consumes the forest, and as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,

15 ت َعَقَّبْهُمْ وَأرْعِبْهُمْ بِزَوابِعِكَ وَعَواصِفِكَ.

So pursue and afflict them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your tornado or hurricane.

16 ب ِالخِزيِّ غَطِّ وُجُوهَهُمْ لِكَي يَطلُبُوكَ يا اللهُ.

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek, inquire for, and insistently require Your name, O Lord.

17 ل َيتَهُمْ يَخْزَوْنَ وَيُذَلُّونَ إلَى الأبَدِ، لَيتَهُمْ يَخْزُونَ وَيَهلِكُونَ!

Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; yes, let them be put to shame and perish,

18 ع ِندَئِذٍ سَيَعلَمُونَ أنَّكَ أنتَ يهوه وَحدَكَ اللهُ العَلِيُّ عَلَى كُلِّ الأرْضِ!

That they may know that You, Whose name alone is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
