| أَقْسَمْتُ يَمِيناً مُوَثَّقَةً أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ١٠٦ 106 |
I have sworn, and have confirmed it, that I will obey your righteous ordinances.
| قَاسَيْتُ جِدّاً فَأَنْعِشْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ. | ١٠٧ 107 |
I am afflicted very much. Revive me, LORD, according to your word.
| تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Please accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, LORD, and teach me your ordinances.
| نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٠٩ 109 |
My soul is continually in my hand, yet I won't forget your Law.
| نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked have laid a snare for me, yet I haven't gone astray from your precepts.
| اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.
| لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ. | ١١٢ 112 |
I have set my heart to perform your statutes forever, even to the end.
| أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
SAMEKH. I hate double-minded men, but I love your Law.
| أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١١٤ 114 |
You are my hiding place and my shield. I hope in your word.
| ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.
| كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.
| اعْضُدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِماً. | ١١٧ 117 |
Hold me up, and I will be safe, and will have respect for your statutes continually.
| احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ 118 |
You reject all those who stray from your statutes, for their deceit is in vain.
| رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love your testimonies.
| اقْشَعَرَّ بَدَنِي رُعْباً مِنْكَ وَجَزِعْتُ مِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٢٠ 120 |
My flesh trembles for fear of you. I am afraid of your judgments.
| أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
AYIN. I have done what is just and righteous. Do not leave me to my oppressors.
| كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Ensure your servant's well-being. Do not let the proud oppress me.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes fail looking for your salvation, for your righteous word.
| عَامِلْ عَبْدَكَ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢٤ 124 |
Deal with your servant according to your loving kindness. Teach me your statutes.
| عَبْدُكَ أَنَا، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٢٥ 125 |
I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.
| يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
It is time to act, LORD, for they break your Law.
| لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore I love your commandments more than gold, yes, more than pure gold.
| وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.
| مَا أَعْجَبَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. لِذَلِكَ تُرَاعِيهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ 129 |
PEY. Your testimonies are wonderful, therefore my soul keeps them.
| فَتْحُ كَلامِكَ يُنِيرُ الذِّهْنَ، وَيَهِبُ الْبُسَطَاءَ فَهْماً. | ١٣٠ 130 |
The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.
| فَغَرْتُ فَمِي لاهِثاً اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣١ 131 |
I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your commandments.
| الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُ دَائِماً مَعَ مُحِبِّيكَ. | ١٣٢ 132 |
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.
| ثَبِّتْ خُطْوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْ أَيَّ إِثْمٍ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣٣ 133 |
Establish my footsteps in your word. Do not let any iniquity have dominion over me.
| حَرِّرْنِي مِنْ ظُلْمِ الإِنْسَانِ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣٤ 134 |
Redeem me from the oppression of man, so I will observe your precepts.
| أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٣٥ 135 |
Make your face shine on your servant. Teach me your statutes.
| فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
Streams of tears run down my eyes, because they do not observe your Law.
| عَادِلٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
TZADE. You are righteous, LORD. Your judgments are upright.
| أَصْدَرْتَ أَوَامِرَكَ بِعَدْلٍ وَبِأَقْصَى الأَمَانَةِ. | ١٣٨ 138 |
You have commanded your statutes in righteousness. They are fully trustworthy.
| أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My zeal wears me out, because my enemies ignore your words.
| أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
| صَغِيرُ الشَّأْنِ أَنَا وَحَقِيرٌ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤١ 141 |
I am small and despised. I do not forget your precepts.
| عَدْلُكَ عَدْلٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَشَرِيعَتُكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٤٢ 142 |
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your Law is truth.
| اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيَّ الضِّيقُ وَالشِّدَّةُ، وَلَا لَذَّةَ لِي إِلّا بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤٣ 143 |
Trouble and anguish have taken hold of me. Your commandments are my delight.
| شَهَادَاتُكَ عَدْلٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. فَهِّمْنِي إِيَّاهَا فَأَحْيَا. | ١٤٤ 144 |
Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.
| صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا رَبُّ، وَسَأُرَاعِي شَرَائِعَكَ. | ١٤٥ 145 |
QOPH. I have called with my whole heart. Answer me, LORD. I will keep your statutes.
| إِيَّاكَ دَعَوْتُ فَخَلِّصْنِي لأُطِيعَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٤٦ 146 |
I have called to you. Save me. I will obey your statutes.
| اسْتَيْقَظْتُ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَاسْتَغَثْتُ؛ رَجَائِي فِي كَلامِكَ. | ١٤٧ 147 |
I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.
| اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ أَظَلُّ مُسْتَيْقِظاً، أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ | ١٤٨ 148 |
My eyes stay open through the night watches, that I might meditate on your word.
| اسْتَمِعْ لِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَحْيِنِي بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٤٩ 149 |
Hear my voice according to your loving kindness. Revive me, LORD, according to your ordinances.
| اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَ الرَّذِيلَةِ، الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٥٠ 150 |
They draw near who follow after wickedness. They are far from your Law.
| إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ، وَوَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا حَقٌّ. | ١٥١ 151 |
You are near, LORD. All your commandments are truth.
| مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ 152 |
Of old I have known from your testimonies, that you have founded them forever.
| انْظُرْ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي، لأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٥٣ 153 |
RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me, for I do not forget your Law.
| تَوَلَّ قَضِيَّتِي وَافْدِنِي، أَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١٥٤ 154 |
Plead my cause, and redeem me. Revive me according to your promise.
| الْخَلاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ الأَشْرَارِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَطْلُبُونَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٥٥ 155 |
Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek your statutes.
| مَا أَكْثَرَ مَرَاحِمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٥٦ 156 |
Great are your tender mercies, LORD. Revive me according to your ordinances.
| كَثِيرُونَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي وَمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٥٧ 157 |
Many are my persecutors and my adversaries. I haven't swerved from your testimonies.
| نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْغَادِرِينَ شَزْراً، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٥٨ 158 |
I look at the faithless with loathing, because they do not observe your word.
| انْظُرْ كَيْفَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ فَأَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ. | ١٥٩ 159 |
Consider how I love your precepts. Revive me, LORD, according to your loving kindness.
| كَلامُكَ بِأَسْرِهِ حَقٌّ، وَكُلُّ أَحْكَامِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَادِلَةٌ. | ١٦٠ 160 |
All of your words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances endures forever.
| اضْطَهَدَنِي رُؤَسَاءُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ، لَكِنَّ قَلْبِي لَا يَهَابُ سِوَى كَلامِكَ. | ١٦١ 161 |
SIN and SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of your words.
| أَبْتَهِجُ بِكَلامِكَ كَبَهْجَةِ مَنْ عَثَرَ عَلَى غَنِيمَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ. | ١٦٢ 162 |
I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great spoil.
| أَبْغَضْتُ الْكَذِبَ وَمَقَتُّهُ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا. | ١٦٣ 163 |
I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your Law.

Seven times a day, I praise you, because of your righteous ordinances.
| سَلامٌ جَزِيلٌ لِمُحِبِّي شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَلَنْ يُعْثِرَهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا شَيْءٌ | ١٦٥ 165 |
Those who love your Law have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.
| رَجَوْتُ خَلاصَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَوَصَايَاكَ عَمِلْتُ. | ١٦٦ 166 |
I have hoped for your salvation, LORD. I have done your commandments.
| حَفِظَتْ نَفْسِي شَهَادَاتِكَ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهَا جِدّاً. | ١٦٧ 167 |
My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them exceedingly.

I have obeyed your precepts and your testimonies, for all my ways are before you.
| لِيَصِلْ صُرَاخِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ. هَبْنِي فَهْماً حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ. | ١٦٩ 169 |
TAW. Let my cry come before you, LORD. Give me understanding according to your word.
| لِتَمْثُلْ طِلْبَتِي أَمَامَكَ. أَنْقِذْنِي بِمُوجِبِ وَعْدِكَ. | ١٧٠ 170 |
Let my petition come before you. Deliver me according to your word.

Let my lips utter praise, for you teach me your statutes.

Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.
| اشْتَقْتُ إِلَى خَلاصِكَ يَا رَبُّ؛ شَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي. | ١٧٤ 174 |
I have longed for your salvation, LORD. Your Law is my delight.
| لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي فَتُسَبِّحَكَ وَلْتَكُنْ أَحْكَامُكَ لِي عَوْناً. | ١٧٥ 175 |
Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.
| تِهْتُ كَخَرُوفٍ ضَالٍّ. فَابْحَثْ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٦ 176 |
I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
