اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 140

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَنْقِذْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ ٱحْفَظْنِي.

Deliver me, O Yhwh, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

٢ 2 ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ بِشُرُورٍ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْقِتَالِ.

Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

٣ 3 سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَحَيَّةٍ. حُمَةُ ٱلْأُفْعُوَانِ تَحْتَ شِفَاهِهِمْ. سِلَاهْ.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. (Selah)

٤ 4 ٱحْفَظْنِي يَارَبُّ مِنْ يَدَيِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ أَنْقِذْنِي. ٱلَّذِينَ تَفَكَّرُوا فِي تَعْثِيرِ خُطُوَاتِي.

Keep me, O Yhwh, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

٥ 5 أَخْفَى لِي ٱلْمُسْتَكْبِرُونَ فَخًّا وَحِبَالًا. مَدُّوا شَبَكَةً بِجَانِبِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ. وَضَعُوا لِي أَشْرَاكًا. سِلَاهْ.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)

٦ 6 قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ إِلَهِي». أَصْغِ يَارَبُّ إِلَى صَوْتِ تَضَرُّعَاتِي.

I said unto Yhwh, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Yhwh.

٧ 7 يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ، قُوَّةَ خَلَاصِي، ظَلَّلْتَ رَأْسِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْقِتَالِ.

O Yhwh the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

٨ 8 لَا تُعْطِ يَارَبُّ شَهَوَاتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. لَا تُنَجِّحْ مَقَاصِدَهُ. يَتَرَفَّعُونَ. سِلَاهْ.

Grant not, O Yhwh, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. (Selah)

٩ 9 أَمَّا رُؤُوسُ ٱلْمُحِيطِينَ بِي فَشَقَاءُ شِفَاهِهِمْ يُغَطِّيهِمْ.

As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

١٠ 10 لِيَسْقُطْ عَلَيْهِمْ جَمْرٌ. لِيُسْقَطُوا فِي ٱلنَّارِ، وَفِي غَمَرَاتٍ فَلَا يَقُومُوا.

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

١١ 11 رَجُلُ لِسَانٍ لَا يَثْبُتُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. رَجُلُ ٱلظُّلْمِ يَصِيدُهُ ٱلشَّرُّ إِلَى هَلَاكِهِ.

Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

١٢ 12 قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُجْرِي حُكْمًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَحَقًّا لِلْبَائِسِينَ.

I know that Yhwh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

١٣ 13 إِنَّمَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَحْمَدُونَ ٱسْمَكَ. ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ يَجْلِسُونَ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ.

Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
