اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 64

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْتَمِعْ يَا ٱللهُ صَوْتِي فِي شَكْوَايَ. مِنْ خَوْفِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ ٱحْفَظْ حَيَاتِي.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,

٢ 2 ٱسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، مِنْ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ،

Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

٣ 3 ٱلَّذِينَ صَقَلُوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَٱلسَّيْفِ. فَوَّقُوا سَهْمَهُمْ كَلَامًا مُرًّا،

Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.

٤ 4 لِيَرْمُوا ٱلْكَامِلَ فِي ٱلْمُخْتَفَى بَغْتَةً. يَرْمُونَهُ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ.

To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.

٥ 5 يُشَدِّدُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِأَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ. يَتَحَادَثُونَ بِطَمْرِ فِخَاخٍ. قَالُوا: «مَنْ يَرَاهُمْ؟».

They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”

٦ 6 يَخْتَرِعُونَ إِثْمًا، تَمَّمُوا ٱخْتِرَاعًا مُحْكَمًا. وَدَاخِلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَقَلْبُهُ عَمِيقٌ.

They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.

٧ 7 فَيَرْمِيهِمِ ٱللهُ بِسَهْمٍ. بَغْتَةً كَانَتْ ضَرْبَتُهُمْ.

And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,

٨ 8 وَيُوقِعُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ. يُنْغِضُ ٱلرَّأْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.

٩ 9 وَيَخْشَى كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُخْبِرُ بِفِعْلِ ٱللهِ، وَبِعَمَلِهِ يَفْطَنُونَ.

And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.

١٠ 10 يَفْرَحُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ كُلُّ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!
