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

¶ Do not keep silence, O God; do not hold thy peace, and do not be still, O God.

2 أ عداؤُكَ الَّذِينَ يُبغِضُونَكَ مُتَغَطرِسُونَ، يُقَعْقِعُونَ بِسُيُوفِهِمْ.

For, behold, thine enemies make a tumult, and those that hate thee have lifted up their head.

3 ي َجتَمِعُونَ مَعاً وَيُخَطِّطُونَ لِمُحارَبَةِ شَعبِكَ الغالِي.

They have taken prudent counsel in secret against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones.

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

They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a people that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 ت َآمَرَ هَؤُلاءِ صَفّاً واحِداً، وَتَعاهَدُوا ضِدَّكَ.

Therefore they have consulted together with one consent; they are confederate against thee:

6 و َهُمْ قَبائِلُ أدُومَ وَالإسْماعِيلِيِّينَ وَالمُوآبِيِّينَ وَالهاجَرِيِّينَ

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; of Moab and the Hagarenes;

7 و َسُكّانُ جُبِيلَ وَالعَمُّونِيُّونَ وَعَمالِيقُ وَالفَلَسطِيِّونَ وَسُكّانُ صُورَ.

Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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

Assur also is joined with them: they are an arm unto the sons of Lot. Selah.

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

¶ Do unto them as unto the Midianites, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison,

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

who perished at Endor; they became as dung for the earth.

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

Make them and their captains like Oreb and like Zeeb; all their princes as Zebah and as Zalmunna:

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

Who have said, Let us inherit for ourselves the habitations of God.

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

O my God, make them like a whirlwind, as the stubble before the wind.

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

As the fire burns a wood and as the flame sets the mountains on fire

15 ت َعَقَّبْهُمْ وَأرْعِبْهُمْ بِزَوابِعِكَ وَعَواصِفِكَ.

so persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy whirlwind.

16 ب ِالخِزيِّ غَطِّ وُجُوهَهُمْ لِكَي يَطلُبُوكَ يا اللهُ.

Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

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

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; 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 thou, whose name alone is LORD, art the most high over all the earth.
