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

God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

2 أ عداؤُكَ الَّذِينَ يُبغِضُونَكَ مُتَغَطرِسُونَ، يُقَعْقِعُونَ بِسُيُوفِهِمْ.

For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

3 ي َجتَمِعُونَ مَعاً وَيُخَطِّطُونَ لِمُحارَبَةِ شَعبِكَ الغالِي.

They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

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

“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 ت َآمَرَ هَؤُلاءِ صَفّاً واحِداً، وَتَعاهَدُوا ضِدَّكَ.

For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

6 و َهُمْ قَبائِلُ أدُومَ وَالإسْماعِيلِيِّينَ وَالمُوآبِيِّينَ وَالهاجَرِيِّينَ

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

7 و َسُكّانُ جُبِيلَ وَالعَمُّونِيُّونَ وَعَمالِيقُ وَالفَلَسطِيِّونَ وَسُكّانُ صُورَ.

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

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

Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

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

Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

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

who perished at Endor, who became as dung 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 like Zebah and Zalmunna;

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

who said, “Let us take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

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

My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.

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

As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

15 ت َعَقَّبْهُمْ وَأرْعِبْهُمْ بِزَوابِعِكَ وَعَواصِفِكَ.

so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.

16 ب ِالخِزيِّ غَطِّ وُجُوهَهُمْ لِكَي يَطلُبُوكَ يا اللهُ.

Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.

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

Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

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

that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
