1 H ear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

اسْمَعنِي يا اللهُ عِندَما أتَكَلَّمُ! احمِنِي مِنْ تَهدِيداتِ عَدُوِّي.

2 H ide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,

خَبِّئنِي مِنْ مُؤامَراتِ الأشرارِ. وَمِنْ مَكائِدِهِمِ احفَظنِي.

3 W ho sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

ألسِنَتُهُمْ ماضِيَةٌ كَالسُّيُوفِ. وَكَلِماتُهُمُ الحاقِدَةُ كَالقَوسِ المُعَدَّةِ لِلإطلاقِ.

4 T hat they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

وَفَجأةً وَدُونَ خِشيَةٍ، يُطلِقُونَ السَّهمَ مِنْ مَخبَإهِمْ. وَيُصِيبُونَ الإنسانَ المُستَقِيمَ.

5 T hey encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say, “Who will see them?”

بِكَلِماتٍ شِرِّيرَةٍ يُشَجِّعُونَ أحَدُهُمُ الآخَرَ. يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْ نَصبِ المَصائِدِ. وَيَقُولُونَ: «لَنْ يَراها أحَدٌ!»

6 T hey devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

أَخْفُوا مَصائِدَهُمُ المُحكَمَةَ. وَهُمْ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ ضَحايا. دَواخِلُ الإنسانِ عَمِيقَةٌ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَلبُهُ.

7 B ut God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded.

غَيرَ أنَّ اللهَ أيضاً يَرمِي سِهامَهُ! فَيَضرِبُ الأعداءَ فَجأةً.

8 S o He will make them stumble over their own tongue; All who see them shall flee away.

يَقدِرُ أنْ يُوقِعَهُمْ فِي مَصائِدِهِمْ وَخُطَطِهِمْ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَراهُمْ يَهُزُّ رَأسَهُ مُتَعَجِّباً.

9 A ll men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing.

ثُمَّ يَرَى الجَمِيعُ ما حَدَثَ، وَيُخبِرُونَ بِما صَنَعَ اللهُ. وَيُعَلِّمُونَ الآخَرِينَ عَنْ أعمالِهِ العَظِيمَةِ.

10 T he righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.

لِيَبتَهِجِ البارُّ باللهِ ، وَليَحتَمِ بِهِ. لِيَتَهَلَّلْ ذُو القَلبِ المُستَقِيمِ.
