1 P reserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.

احمِنِي يا اللهُ لِأنِّي عَلَيكَ أعتَمِدُ!

2 M y soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”

قُلْتُ للهِ: «أنتَ رَبِّي! بَرَكاتِي كُلُّها مِنْكَ تَأْتِي!

3 A s for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

القِدِّيسُونَ الَّذِينَ فِي الأرْضِ هُمُ الجَلِيلُونَ الَّذِينَ أُسَرُّ وَأتَمَتَّعُ بِهِمْ.»

4 T heir sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.

لَكِنْ ما أكثَرَ أوجاعَ الَّذِينَ يَطلُبُونَ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى! وَلا أشتَرِكُ فِي سَكائِبِ الدَّمِ الَّتِي يُقَدِّمُونَها. وَلا أجعَلُ أسماءَ آلِهَتِهِمْ تَمُسُّ لِسانِي!

5 Y ahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.

نَصِيبِي هُوَ اللهُ وَكَأْسِي! أنتَ تُمْسِكُ بِمِيراثِي بَينَ يَدَيكَ!

6 T he lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.

وَقَعَ نَصِيبِي فِي أرْضٍ طَيِّبَةٍ. فَما أحلَى مِيراثِي!

7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

أُبارِكُ اللهَ ، الَّذِي يَنصَحُنِي. يُعَلِّمُنِي حَتَّى فِي اللَّيلِ وَيُوَجِّهُ قَلْبِي.

8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

جَعَلْتُ اللهَ أمامِي دائِماً، هُوَ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَنْ أتَزَعْزَعَ.

9 T herefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

لِهَذا يَفرَحُ قَلبِي وَتَبتَهِجُ رُوحِي. حَتَّى جَسَدِي يَسكُنُ فِي أمانٍ.

10 F or you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

لِأنَّكَ لَنْ تَترُكَ نَفسِي فِي الهاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تابِعَكَ التَّقِيِّ يَتَعَفَّنُ.

11 Y ou will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

تُعَلِّمُنِي طَرِيقَ الحَياةِ! مَعكَ أشبَعُ سُرُوراً. أسْعَدُ، وَأنا بِجانِبِكَ، إلَى الأبَدِ!
