Sinners spread a snare for me; but I erred not from your commandments.

I have done judgment and justice; deliver me not up to them that injure me.

١٢٢ 122 كُنْ ضَامِنَ عَبْدِكَ لِلْخَيْرِ، لِكَيْلَا يَظْلِمَنِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ.

Receive your servant for good: let not the proud accuse me falsely.
