ALEPH. Happy are they whose way is perfect, who walk in the law of the Lord.
| طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَهُ بِكُلِّ الْقَلْبِ، | ٢ 2 |
Happy are they who keep his testimonies, that seek him with all their heart.
| وَلَا يَرْتَكِبُونَ إِثْماً، إِنَّمَا فِي طُرُقِهِ يَسِيرُونَ. | ٣ 3 |
They also commit no injustice; in his ways do they walk.
| أَنْتَ أَوْصَيْتَ بِحِفْظِ وَصَايَاكَ وَالعَمَلِ بِها كُلِّهَا. | ٤ 4 |
Thou thyself hast commanded us thy precepts, that we might keep [them] diligently.
| لَيْتَكَ تُوَجِّهُ طُرُقِي لِمُمَارَسَةِ فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Oh that my ways were firmly directed to observe thy statutes!
| عِنْدَئِذٍ لَا أَخْزَى إِذَا تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي جَمِيعِ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦ 6 |
Then would I not be made ashamed, while I look at all thy commandments.
| أَحْمَدُكَ بِقَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ لأَنِّي أَدْرَكْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ٧ 7 |

Thy statutes will I observe: oh forsake me not too greatly.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a youth keep his way pure? by guarding it according to thy word.

With all my heart have I sought thee: oh let me not wander astray from thy commandments.

In my heart have I treasured up thy saying, in order that I may not sin against thee.
| مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
| بِشَفَتَيَّ أَعْلَنْتُ جَمِيعَ الأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي نَطَقْتَ بِها. | ١٣ 13 |
With my lips have I related all the ordinances of thy mouth.
| بِطَرِيقِ شَهَادَاتِكَ قَدْ سُرِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سُرُورِ الْحَائِزِ عَلَى كُلِّ غِنىً. | ١٤ 14 |

In thy statutes will I seek my delight: I will not forget thy word.

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant: let me live, that I may observe thy word.

Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
| غَرِيبٌ أَنَا فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَا تَحْجُبْ عَنِّي وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
A stranger am I on the earth: hide not from me thy commandments.
| تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي شَوْقاً إِلَى أَحْكَامِكَ دَائِماً. | ٢٠ 20 |
My soul is broken from longing for thy ordinances at all times.
| أَنْتَ تَزْجُرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ الْمَلْعُونِينَ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Thou hast rebuked the accursed proud, who go erringly astray from thy commandments.

Roll away from me reproach and contempt; for thy testimonies have I kept.
| جَلَسَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَتَآمَرُوا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا أَنَا، عَبدَكَ، فَبَقِيتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Although even princes should sit and speak against me, thy servant would still meditate on thy statutes.
| وَصَايَاكَ الشَّاهِدَةُ أَيْضاً هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي، وَأَنَا أَسْتَشِيرُهَا دَائِماً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Also thy testimonies are my delight, my counsellors.
| (أَنَا يَائِسٌ) أَرْقُدُ مُلْتَصِقاً بالتُّرَابِ، فَأَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: revive thou me according to thy word.

My ways do I relate [to thee], and thou answerest me: teach me thy statutes.

My soul droppeth away from grief: sustain me according to thy word.

The way of truth have I chosen: thy ordinances have I set [before me].

I have adhered unto thy testimonies: O Lord, put me not to shame.
| أَجِدُّ مُسْرِعاً فِي طَرِيقِ وَصَايَاكَ، لأَنَّكَ تَشْرَحُ قَلْبِي. | ٣٢ 32 |
The way of thy commandments will I run; for thou wilt enlarge my heart.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to desire for gain.

Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity: on thy way do thou give me life.

Fulfill unto thy servant thy promise for those who are devoted to thy fear.

Cause to pass away my disgrace of which I have dread; for thy ordinances are good.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: through thy righteousness do thou give my life.
| أَنْعِمْ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبُّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَخَلاصِكَ حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ. | ٤١ 41 |
VAV. And let thy kindness come unto me, O Lord, thy salvation, according to thy promise.
| فَأَرُدَّ عَلَى مُعَيِّرِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَثِقُ بِوَعْدِكَ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Then shall I have a word to answer the one that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.

So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever.
| وَأَسْلُكَ فِي رَحَابَةِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ أَوَامِرَكَ. | ٤٥ 45 |
And I will walk in an open space; for thy precepts have I sought.
| سَأَتَحَدَّثُ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ وَلَا يَعْتَرِينِي الْخِزْيُ، | ٤٦ 46 |
And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed.
| وَأَتَلَذَّذُ بِوَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا، | ٤٧ 47 |
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I love.
| وَأَرْفَعُ كَفَّيَّ إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا وَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٤٨ 48 |
And so will I lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on thy statutes.
| حَقِّقْ لِعَبْدِكَ وَعْدَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَنِي أَنْتَظِرُهُ. | ٤٩ 49 |
ZAYIN. Remember thy word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to wait.
| وَعْدُكَ يُنْعِشُنِي إِذْ هُوَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي ضِيقِي. | ٥٠ 50 |
This is my comfort in my affliction, that thy promise hath revived me.
| جَاوَزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الْحَدَّ فِي السُّخْرِيَةِ بِي، لَكِنْ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ 51 |
The presumptuous have held me too greatly in derision: yet have I not departed away from thy law.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ 52 |
I remembered thy decrees [which were] from olden times, O Lord, and thus comforted myself.
| تَوَلّانِي الْغَيْظُ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Horror seized on me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
| صَارَتْ فَرَائِضُكَ تَرْنِيمَاتٍ لِي فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِي. | ٥٤ 54 |
Songs have thy statutes been unto me in the house of my pilgrimage.
| ذَكَرْتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I remembered in the night thy name, O Lord, and observed thy law.
| هَذَا مَا حَظِيتُ بِهِ لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٥٦ 56 |
This came to pass unto me, because I had kept thy precepts.
| أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ نَصِيبِي، فَأَعِدُكَ بِطَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٥٧ 57 |
CHETH. My portion is the Lord, have I said, that I might observe thy words.
| طَلَبْتُ وَجْهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي: ارْحَمْنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ. | ٥٨ 58 |
I make entreaty before thee with all my heart: be gracious unto me according to thy promise.
| تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي انْحِرَافِي فَعُدْتُ وَتَحَوَّلْتُ نَحْوَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
I have thought over my ways, and made my feet return unto thy testimonies.
| أَسْرَعْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
I hastened, and delayed not to observe thy commandments.
| قَامَ الأَشْرَارُ بِالإِيقَاعِ بِي، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٦١ 61 |
Companies of wicked men have surrounded me; but I have not forgotten thy law.
| أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ لأَحْمَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
At midnights do I constantly rise to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous decrees.
| رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ، وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ 63 |
An associate am I unto all that fear thee, and unto those that keep thy precepts.
| رَحْمَتُكَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ عَمَّتِ الأَرْضَ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٤ 64 |
Of thy kindness, O Lord, is the earth full: teach me thy statutes.
| صَنَعْتَ خَيْراً يَا رَبُّ مَعِي أَنَا عَبْدَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتَ. | ٦٥ 65 |
TETH. Thou hast shown goodness on thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word.
| هَبْنِي رُوحَ تَمْيِيزٍ وَمَعْرِفَةً، لأَنِّي آمَنْتُ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٦ 66 |
The best of discernment and knowledge do thou teach me; for in thy commandments do I believe.
| ضَلَلْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَدَّبْتَنِي، أَمَّا الآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Before I was afflicted I was in error; but now I observe thy saying.
| أَنْتَ صَالِحٌ وَمُحْسِنٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ 68 |
Thou art good, and doing good: teach me thy statutes.
| لَفَّقَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَالاً كَاذِبَةً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ 69 |
The presumptuous have invented falsehoods against me; but I will with all my heart indeed keep thy precepts.
| غَلُظَ قَلْبُهُمْ وَتَقَسَّى، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَمَتَّعُ بِشَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Gross as fat is their heart; but I take truly delight in thy law.
| كَانَ مَا ذُقْتُ مِنْ هَوَانٍ لِخَيْرِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ 71 |
It is well for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn thy statutes.
| شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَهَبِ الْعَالَمِ وَفِضَّتِهِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
Better is unto me the law of thy mouth than thousands of gold and silver.
| يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَكَوَّنَتَانِي، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ 73 |
YOD. Thy hands have made me and established me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
| فَيَرَانِي مُتَّقُوكَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ، لأَنِّي انْتَظَرْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٧٤ 74 |
Those that fear thee will see me and be rejoiced; because I have waited for thy word.
| قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَادِلَةٌ، وَأَنَّكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَدَّبْتَنِي. | ٧٥ 75 |
I know, O Lord, that thy decrees are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
| فَلْتَكُنْ رَحْمَتُكَ تَعْزِيَةً لِي، بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ 76 |
Let, I pray thee, thy kindness come to comfort me, according to thy promise unto thy servant.
| لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ مُتْعَتِي. | ٧٧ 77 |
Let thy mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
| لِيَخْزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لأَنَّهُمُ افْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ زُوراً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ 78 |
Let the presumptuous be made ashamed; because they have without a cause dealt perversely with me; but I will indeed meditate on thy precepts.
| لِيَنْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ 79 |
Let those that fear thee return unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
| لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي مُتَعَلِّقاً بِكَامِلِ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ 80 |
Let my heart be entire in thy statutes, in order that I may not be put to shame.
| تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلاصِكَ. رَجَائِي هُوَ كَلِمَتُكَ. | ٨١ 81 |
CAPH. My soul ardently desireth for thy salvation: for thy word do I wait.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي انْتِظَارِ كَلامِكَ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟ | ٨٢ 82 |
My eyes look eagerly for thy promise, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
| أَصْبَحْتُ كَقِرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ أَتْلَفَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ وَالدُّخَانُ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٨٣ 83 |
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke: [yet] do I not forget thy statutes.
| كَمْ هِي أَيَّامُ عُمْرِ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُنْزِلُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي؟ | ٨٤ 84 |
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute justice on my persecutors?
| الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْصَوْنَ شَرِيعَتَكَ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفَراً. | ٨٥ 85 |
The presumptuous have dug pits for me, which is not in accordance with thy law.
| وَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا صَادِقَةٌ. زُوراً يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي فَأَغِثْنِي. | ٨٦ 86 |
All thy commandments are founded on truth: without cause they persecute me; help thou me.
| لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَرِيعَتَكْ. | ٨٧ 87 |
But little was wanting that they had consumed me upon earth; but I have truly not forsaken thy precepts.
| أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأُطِيعَ شَرَائِعَكَ. | ٨٨ 88 |
According to thy kindness give me life, that I may observe the testimony of thy mouth.
| يَا رَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ تَدُومُ ثَابِتَةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٨٩ 89 |
LAMED. To eternity, O Lord, standeth firm thy word with the heavens.
| مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. | ٩٠ 90 |
Unto all generations endureth thy faithfulness: thou hast established the earth, and she standeth.
| بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ تَثْبُتُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْكُلَّ خُدَّامٌ لَكَ. | ٩١ 91 |
According to thy ordinances they exist this day: for all are thy servants.
| لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ مُتْعَتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ فِي مَذَلَّتِي، | ٩٢ 92 |
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should long since have been lost in my affliction.
| لَنْ أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ أَبَداً، لأَنَّكَ بِها وَهَبْتَنِي الْحَيَاةَ. | ٩٣ 93 |
Never will I forget thy precepts; for with them thou hast kept me alive.
| أَنَا لَكَ، فَخَلِّصْنِي، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ 94 |
Thine am I, save me; for thy precepts have I sought.
| تَرَبَّصَ بِيَ الأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي، لَكِنِّي أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٩٥ 95 |
Wicked men have waited for me to destroy me; [but] I will reflect on thy testimonies.
| رَأَيْتُ لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ حَدّاً، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَلَا حَدَّ لَهَا. | ٩٦ 96 |
Of all perfection have I seen the end; [but] thy commandment is exceedingly extended.
| كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ، إِنَّهَا مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٩٧ 97 |
MEM. Oh how do I love thy law! all the day is it my (meditation)
| وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لأَنَّهَا نَصِيبِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٩٨ 98 |
Wiser than my enemy doth thy commandment make me; for it is perpetually with me.
| صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فَهْماً مِنْ مُعَلِّمِيَّ، لأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي. | ٩٩ 99 |
Above all my teachers have I obtained intelligence; for thy testimonies are my (meditation)
| صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فِطْنَةً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ، لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ 100 |
More than the elders do I possess understanding; because thy precepts do I keep.
| مَنَعْتُ قَدَمَيَّ عَنْ سُلُوكِ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلامَكَ. | ١٠١ 101 |
From every evil path have I withholden my feet, in order that I might observe thy word.
| لَمْ أَبْتَعِدْ عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لأَنَّكَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ 102 |
From thy ordinances have I not departed; for thou hast instructed me.
| مَا أَحْلَى أَقْوَالَكَ لِمَذَاقِي. إِنَّهَا أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي. | ١٠٣ 103 |
How much sweeter are to my palate thy sayings than honey to my mouth!
| مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ اكْتَسَبْتُ فِطْنَةً لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٠٤ 104 |
Through thy precepts shall I obtain understanding: therefore do I hate every path of falsehood.
| سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ 105 |
NUN. A lamp unto my feet is thy word, and a light unto my path.
| أَقْسَمْتُ يَمِيناً مُوَثَّقَةً أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ١٠٦ 106 |
I have sworn, and I will perform it, to observe thy righteous ordinances.
| قَاسَيْتُ جِدّاً فَأَنْعِشْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ. | ١٠٧ 107 |
I am afflicted exceedingly much: O Lord, revive me, according to thy word.
| تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Receive in favor the freewill-offerings of my mouth, I beseech thee, O Lord, and teach me thy ordinances.
| نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٠٩ 109 |
My life is in my hand continually: yet thy law do I not forget.
| نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet have I not erred from thy precepts.
| اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage to eternity; for they are the joy of my heart.
| لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ. | ١١٢ 112 |
I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, in all their ways.
| أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
SAMECH. Those of divided thoughts I hate; but thy law do I love.
| أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١١٤ 114 |
My shelter and my shield art thou: for thy word do I wait.
| ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of God.
| كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Uphold me according to thy promise, that I may live, and let me not be made ashamed of my hope.
| اعْضُدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِماً. | ١١٧ 117 |
Support me that I may be placed in safety, and I will direct my regard unto thy statutes continually.
| احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ 118 |
Thou hast trodden down all that erringly stray from thy statutes; for falsehood is their deceit.
| رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
Like dross dost thou put away all the wicked of the earth: therefore do I love thy testimonies.
| اقْشَعَرَّ بَدَنِي رُعْباً مِنْكَ وَجَزِعْتُ مِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٢٠ 120 |
My flesh trembleth shudderingly from dread of thee, and of thy decrees am I afraid.
| أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
'AYIN. I have executed justice and righteousness: leave me not to those who oppress me.
| كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Protect thy servant for good: let not the presumptuous oppress me.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes look eagerly for thy salvation, and for thy righteous promise.
| عَامِلْ عَبْدَكَ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢٤ 124 |
Deal with thy servant according to thy kindness, and thy statutes do thou teach me.
| عَبْدُكَ أَنَا، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٢٥ 125 |
I am thy servant: give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
| يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
It is time to act for the Lord: they have broken thy law.
| لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore do I love thy commandments more than gold, and more than fine gold.
| وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
Therefore do I esteem all thy precepts in all things as right: every path of falsehood do I hate.
| مَا أَعْجَبَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. لِذَلِكَ تُرَاعِيهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ 129 |
PE. Wonderful are thy testimonies: therefore doth my soul keep them.
| فَتْحُ كَلامِكَ يُنِيرُ الذِّهْنَ، وَيَهِبُ الْبُسَطَاءَ فَهْماً. | ١٣٠ 130 |
The opening of thy words giveth light, it giveth understanding unto the simple.
| فَغَرْتُ فَمِي لاهِثاً اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣١ 131 |
I opened my mouth, and panted for breath; because for thy commandments did I long.
| الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُ دَائِماً مَعَ مُحِبِّيكَ. | ١٣٢ 132 |
Turn thou unto me, and be gracious unto me, as is thy wont unto those that love thy name.
| ثَبِّتْ خُطْوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْ أَيَّ إِثْمٍ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣٣ 133 |
My steps establish thou through thy promise, and suffer not any wrong to have dominion over me.

Deliver me from the oppression of man, and I will observe thy precepts.
| أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٣٥ 135 |
Let thy face shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes.
| فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
Streams of water have run down my eyes; because they had not observed thy law.
| عَادِلٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
TZADDE. Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy decrees.

Thou hast commanded thy testimonies, as righteous and faithful exceedingly.
| أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My zeal destroyeth me; because my assailants have forgotten thy words.
| أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Thy promise is greatly refined, and thy servant loveth it.

Distress and trouble have overtaken me: [yet] are thy commandments my delights.

Righteous are thy testimonies for everlasting: give me understanding, that I may live.

I come before thee in the dawn of morning, and cry: for thy word do I wait.

My eyes are awake before the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy saying.

Hear my voice according to thy kindness: O Lord, according to thy decree do thou grant me life.
| اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَ الرَّذِيلَةِ، الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٥٠ 150 |
They that pursue mischievous devices draw nigh: from thy law are they far.

Near art thou, O Lord; and all thy commandments are the truth.
| مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ 152 |
Of old already I knew of thy testimonies; because for eternity hast thou founded them.

Plead my cause, and deliver me: according to thy promise do thou revive me.

Far from the wicked is salvation; because thy statutes have they not sought for.
| مَا أَكْثَرَ مَرَاحِمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٥٦ 156 |
Thy mercies are abundant, O Lord; according to thy decrees do thou revive me.

Many are my persecutors and my assailants: yet from thy testimonies do I not turn away.

I beheld the treacherous, and felt disgust; because they observed not thy saying.
| انْظُرْ كَيْفَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ فَأَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ. | ١٥٩ 159 |

SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but of thy word standeth my heart in dread.
