1 H ear a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry; Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.

استَمِعْ يا اللهُ إلَى مُطالَبَتِي بِالعَدلِ. أنصِتْ إلَى صَوْتِ استِغاثَتِي. أُقَدِّمُ إلَيكَ صَلاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَينِ لا غِشَّ فِيهِما.

2 L et my judgment come forth from Your presence; Let Your eyes look with equity.

مِنْ عِندِكَ يَأْتِي حَقِّي. عَيناكَ تَرَيانِ الحَقَّ.

3 Y ou have tried my heart; You have visited me by night; You have tested me and You find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

أنتَ فَحَصْتَ قَلبِيَ. فَتَّشْتَنِي فِي اللَّيلِ. امتَحَنتَنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيَّ لَوْماً. فَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ ألّا أُخْطِئَ بِفَمِي.

4 A s for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.

عَلَى قَدْرِ طاقَتِي كَإنسانٍ، أطَعْتُ كَلامَ شَفَتَيكَ، لَكَي أتَجَنَّبَ دُرُوبَ العُنْفِ.

5 M y steps have held fast to Your paths. My feet have not slipped.

فَلَيتَكَ تَحفَظُ خَطَواتِي فِي طُرُقِكَ، حَتَّى لا تَتَعَثَّرَ قَدَمايَ!

6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

دَعَوْتُكَ لِأنَّكَ تُجِيبُنِي يا اللهُ! أمِلْ إلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ. وَاسمَعْ كَلِماتِي!

7 W ondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.

أظْهِرْ بِشَكلٍ عَجِيبٍ مَحَبَّتَكَ المُخلِصَةَ، يا مَنْ تُنقِذُ يَمِينُكَ الَّذِينَ يَلجَأُونَ إلَيكَ مِمَّنْ يَقُومُونَ ضِدَّهُمْ.

8 K eep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings

احفَظْنِي وَكَأنِّي حَدَقَةُ عَينِكَ! خَبِّئْنِي فِي ظِلِّ جَناحَيكَ،

9 F rom the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies who surround me.

مِنَ الأشرارِ الَّذِينَ يَسلِبُونَنِي! وَمِنْ أعدائِي اللَّدُودِينَ الَّذِينَ يُحاصِرُونَنِي!

10 T hey have closed their unfeeling heart, With their mouth they speak proudly.

أغلَقُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ عَنِ الشَّفَقَةِ! فَمُهُمْ يَنطُقُ بِالكِبرِياءِ.

11 T hey have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.

طارَدُونِي، وَقَدْ أحاطُوا بِي مُتَأهِّبِينَ لِطَرحِي أرْضاً!

12 H e is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

وَكَأنَّ عَدُوِّي أسَدٌ مُتَأهِّبٌ لِلانقِضاضِ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ. كَشِبلٍ قَوِيٍّ يَتَرَبَّصُ.

13 A rise, O Lord, confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,

قُمْ يا اللهُ! تَصَدَّ لَهُ، وَأخْضِعْهُ! بِسَيفِكَ خَلِّصْنِي مَنْ ذَلِكَ الشِّرِّيرِ!

14 F rom men with Your hand, O Lord, From men of the world, whose portion is in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your treasure; They are satisfied with children, And leave their abundance to their babes.

أزِلْهُمْ يا اللهُ بِيَدِكَ بِقُوَّتِكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الدُّنيا! أزِلْهُمْ مِنْ أرْضِ الأحياءِ! أمّا الَّذِينَ تُعِزُّهُمْ، فَأعطِهِمْ وَفرَةً لِيَشبَعُوا، وَيَشبَعَ أولادُهُمْ، وَيَكتَفِي أحفادُهُمْ!

15 A s for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.

أرَى وَجهَكَ بِالبِرِّ. وَسَأشْبَعُ حِينَ أستَيقِظُ عَلَى رُؤْيَةِ صُورَتِكَ.
