اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 54

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا أَتَى ٱلزِّيفِيُّونَ وَقَالُوا لِشَاوُلَ: «أَلَيْسَ دَاوُدُ مُخْتَبِئًا عِنْدَنَا؟». اَللَّهُمَّ، بِٱسْمِكَ خَلِّصْنِي، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ ٱحْكُمْ لِي.

For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when the Ziphites came to Saul and told him, “David is hiding among us.” God, because of your very nature, please save me! Vindicate me by your power!

٢ 2 ٱسْمَعْ يَا ٱللهُ صَلَاتِي. ٱصْغَ إِلَى كَلَامِ فَمِي.

God, please hear my prayer; listen to what I'm saying.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ غُرَبَاءَ قَدْ قَامُوا عَلَيَّ، وَعُتَاةً طَلَبُوا نَفْسِي. لَمْ يَجْعَلُوا ٱللهَ أَمَامَهُمْ. سِلَاهْ.

For strangers are coming to attack me—violent men who don't care about God are trying to kill me. (Selah)

٤ 4 هُوَذَا ٱللهُ مُعِينٌ لِي. ٱلرَّبُّ بَيْنَ عَاضِدِي نَفْسِي.

But God helps me; the Lord saves my life!

٥ 5 يَرْجِعُ ٱلشَّرُّ عَلَى أَعْدَائِي. بِحَقِّكَ أَفْنِهِمْ.

The evil my enemies have done will come back upon them. I depend on you to destroy them.

٦ 6 أَذْبَحُ لَكَ مُنْتَدِبًا. أَحْمَدُ ٱسْمَكَ يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ.

I will happily offer a sacrifice to you; I will praise the kind of person you are, Lord, for you are good.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ضِيْقٍ نَجَّانِي، وَبِأَعْدَائِي رَأَتْ عَيْنِي.

For he has saved me from all my troubles; and I have seen those who hated me defeated.
