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.

“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a Maskil of David, When the Ziphim came and said to Saul, Behold, David is hiding himself with us.” O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength grant me justice.

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

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

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

For strangers [to goodness] are risen up against me, and powerful oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is a helper unto me: the Lord is among those that uphold my soul.

٥ 5 يَرْجِعُ ٱلشَّرُّ عَلَى أَعْدَائِي. بِحَقِّكَ أَفْنِهِمْ.

He will cause the evil to return upon those that regard me with envy: in thy truth cut them off.

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

I will liberally sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O Lord; for it is good.

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

For out of all distress hath he delivered me: and my eye hath seen [its desire] on my enemies.
