< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 17 >
صَلَاةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَارَبُّ لِلْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَلَاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ بِلَا غِشٍّ. | ١ 1 |
A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord, to my innocence; attend to my piercing cry. Give heed to my prayer out of lips unfeigned.
مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ يَخْرُجُ قَضَائِي. عَيْنَاكَ تَنْظُرَانِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ. | ٢ 2 |
Let my vindication come from you, your eyes see the truth.
جَرَّبْتَ قَلْبِي. تَعَهَّدْتَهُ لَيْلًا. مَحَّصْتَنِي. لَا تَجِدُ فِيَّ ذُمُومًا. لَا يَتَعَدَّى فَمِي. | ٣ 3 |
When you test my heart when you visit at night, and assay me like silver – you can find no evil. I am determined that my mouth should not lie.
مِنْ جِهَةِ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبِكَلَامِ شَفَتَيْكَ أَنَا تَحَفَّظْتُ مِنْ طُرُقِ ٱلْمُعْتَنِفِ. | ٤ 4 |
I gave earnest heed to the words of your lips.
تَمَسَّكَتْ خُطُوَاتِي بِآثَارِكَ فَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمَايَ. | ٥ 5 |
My steps have held fast to the paths of your precepts and in your tracks have my feet never stumbled.
أَنَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِي يَا ٱللهُ. أَمِلْ أُذُنَيْكَ إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامِي. | ٦ 6 |
So I call you, O God, with assurance of answer; bend down your ear to me, hear what I say.
مَيِّزْ مَرَاحِمَكَ، يَامُخَلِّصَ ٱلْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ، بِيَمِينِكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ. | ٧ 7 |
Show your marvellous love, you who save from enemies those who take refuge at your right hand.
ٱحْفَظْنِي مِثْلَ حَدَقَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ. بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ ٱسْتُرْنِي | ٨ 8 |
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shelter of your wings.
مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُخْرِبُونَنِي، أَعْدَائِي بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتَنِفُونَنِي. | ٩ 9 |
From wicked people who do me violence, from deadly foes who crowd around me.
قَلْبَهُمُ ٱلسَّمِينَ قَدْ أَغْلَقُوا. بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ قَدْ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They have closed their hearts to pity, the words of their mouths are haughty.
فِي خُطُوَاتِنَا ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَحَاطُوا بِنَا. نَصَبُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ لِيُزْلِقُونَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١١ 11 |
Now they dog us at every step, keenly watching, to hurl us to the ground,
مَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱلْقَرِمِ إِلَى ٱلِٱفْتِرَاسِ، وَكَٱلشِّبْلِ ٱلْكَامِنِ فِي عِرِّيسِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
like a lion, longing to tear, like a young lion, lurking in secret.
قُمْ يَارَبُّ. تَقَدَّمْهُ. اِصْرَعْهُ. نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بِسَيْفِكَ، | ١٣ 13 |
Arise, Lord, face them and fell them. By your sword set me free from the wicked,
مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِيَدِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلدُّنْيَا. نَصِيبُهُمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمْ. بِذَخَائِرِكَ تَمْلَأُ بُطُونَهُمْ. يَشْبَعُونَ أَوْلَادًا وَيَتْرُكُونَ فُضَالَتَهُمْ لِأَطْفَالِهِمْ. | ١٤ 14 |
by your hand, O Lord, from those – whose portion of life is but of this world. But let your treasured ones have food in plenty may their children be full and their children satisfied.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِشَبَهِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
In my innocence I will see your face, awake I am filled with a vision of you.
