With my lips have I rehearsed all the judgments of your mouth.
بِطَرِيقِ شَهَادَاتِكَ قَدْ سُرِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سُرُورِ الْحَائِزِ عَلَى كُلِّ غِنىً. | ١٤ 14 |

Roll away from me scorn and contempt, for I have observed your charges.

So shall I answer my slanderers, for my trust is in your word.

Snatch not from my mouth the word of truth, for in your judgments I hope.
فَأَحْفَظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ دَائِماً، إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ، | ٤٤ 44 |
I will keep your law continually, for ever and evermore.

So shall I walk in wide spaces, for I give my mind to your precepts.

I will speak of your charge before kings, and will not be ashamed thereof.
وَأَتَلَذَّذُ بِوَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا، | ٤٧ 47 |
Your commandments are my delight, I love them exceedingly.
وَأَرْفَعُ كَفَّيَّ إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا وَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٤٨ 48 |

Remember your word to your servant, on which you have made me to hope.
وَعْدُكَ يُنْعِشُنِي إِذْ هُوَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي ضِيقِي. | ٥٠ 50 |
This is my comfort in trouble, that your word gives life to me.
جَاوَزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الْحَدَّ فِي السُّخْرِيَةِ بِي، لَكِنْ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ 51 |
The arrogant utterly scorn me, but I have not declined from your law.
تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ 52 |
When I think of your judgments of old, O Lord, I take to me comfort.
تَوَلّانِي الْغَيْظُ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
I am seized with glowing anger at the wicked who forsake your law.
صَارَتْ فَرَائِضُكَ تَرْنِيمَاتٍ لِي فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِي. | ٥٤ 54 |
Your statutes have been to me songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
ذَكَرْتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٥ 55 |
I remember your name in the night, O Lord and observe your law.
هَذَا مَا حَظِيتُ بِهِ لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٥٦ 56 |
My lot has been this, that I have kept your precepts.
أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ نَصِيبِي، فَأَعِدُكَ بِطَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٥٧ 57 |
My portion are you, O Lord: I have promised to keep your words.
طَلَبْتُ وَجْهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي: ارْحَمْنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ. | ٥٨ 58 |
I entreat you with all my heart; grant me your promised favor.
تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي انْحِرَافِي فَعُدْتُ وَتَحَوَّلْتُ نَحْوَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٥٩ 59 |
I have thought upon my ways, and turned my feet to your charges.
أَسْرَعْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٠ 60 |
I hasted and tarried not to give heed to your commandments.
قَامَ الأَشْرَارُ بِالإِيقَاعِ بِي، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٦١ 61 |
Though the godless have wound their cords round me, I have not forgotten your law.
أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ لأَحْمَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
At midnight I rise to praise you because of your righteous judgments.
رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ، وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ 63 |
With all those who fear you I company, aid with those who observe your precepts.
رَحْمَتُكَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ عَمَّتِ الأَرْضَ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٤ 64 |
The earth, Lord, is full of your kindness; teach me your Statutes.
صَنَعْتَ خَيْراً يَا رَبُّ مَعِي أَنَا عَبْدَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتَ. | ٦٥ 65 |
Well have you dealt with your servant, as you have promised, O Lord.
هَبْنِي رُوحَ تَمْيِيزٍ وَمَعْرِفَةً، لأَنِّي آمَنْتُ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٦ 66 |
Teach me discretion and knowledge, for I have believed your commandments.
ضَلَلْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَدَّبْتَنِي، أَمَّا الآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Till trouble came I was a wanderer, but now I observe your word.
أَنْتَ صَالِحٌ وَمُحْسِنٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ 68 |
You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
لَفَّقَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَالاً كَاذِبَةً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ 69 |
The proud have forged lies against me, but I keep your precepts with all my heart.
غَلُظَ قَلْبُهُمْ وَتَقَسَّى، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَمَتَّعُ بِشَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Their heart is gross like fat, but I delight in your law.
كَانَ مَا ذُقْتُ مِنْ هَوَانٍ لِخَيْرِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ 71 |
It was good for me to be humbled, that I should learn your statutes.
شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَهَبِ الْعَالَمِ وَفِضَّتِهِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَكَوَّنَتَانِي، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ 73 |
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; make me wise to learn your commandments.
فَيَرَانِي مُتَّقُوكَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ، لأَنِّي انْتَظَرْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٧٤ 74 |
Those who fear you shall see me with joy, for in your word have I hoped.
قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَادِلَةٌ، وَأَنَّكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَدَّبْتَنِي. | ٧٥ 75 |
I know, O Lord, that your judgments are right, and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
فَلْتَكُنْ رَحْمَتُكَ تَعْزِيَةً لِي، بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ 76 |
Let your love be a comfort to me, for so have you promised your servant.
لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ مُتْعَتِي. | ٧٧ 77 |
Visit me with your quickening pity, for your law is my delight.
لِيَخْزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لأَنَّهُمُ افْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ زُوراً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ 78 |
Put the proud to shame, who have wronged me falsely: I will muse on your precepts.
لِيَنْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ 79 |
Let those turn to me who fear you, that they may learn your charges.
لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي مُتَعَلِّقاً بِكَامِلِ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ 80 |
Let my heart be sound in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلاصِكَ. رَجَائِي هُوَ كَلِمَتُكَ. | ٨١ 81 |
My long for you to rescue me, I put my hope in your word.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي انْتِظَارِ كَلامِكَ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟ | ٨٢ 82 |
My eyes pine away for your promise: saying, “When will you comfort me?”
أَصْبَحْتُ كَقِرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ أَتْلَفَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ وَالدُّخَانُ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٨٣ 83 |
Though shrivelled like wine-skin in smoke, your statutes I have not forgotten.
كَمْ هِي أَيَّامُ عُمْرِ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُنْزِلُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي؟ | ٨٤ 84 |
How few are the days of your servant! When will you judge those who harass me?
الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْصَوْنَ شَرِيعَتَكَ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفَراً. | ٨٥ 85 |
Proud people have dug for me pits people who do not conform to your law.
وَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا صَادِقَةٌ. زُوراً يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي فَأَغِثْنِي. | ٨٦ 86 |
All your commandments are trusty. With falsehood they harass me: help me.
لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَرِيعَتَكْ. | ٨٧ 87 |
They had nearly made an end of me, yet I did not forget your precepts.
أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأُطِيعَ شَرَائِعَكَ. | ٨٨ 88 |
Spare me in your kindness, and I will observe the charge of your mouth.
يَا رَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ تَدُومُ ثَابِتَةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٨٩ 89 |
Forever, O Lord, is your word fixed firmly in the heavens.
مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. | ٩٠ 90 |
Your truth endures age after age; it is established on earth, and it stands.
بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ تَثْبُتُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْكُلَّ خُدَّامٌ لَكَ. | ٩١ 91 |
By your appointment they stand this day, for all are your servants.
لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ مُتْعَتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ فِي مَذَلَّتِي، | ٩٢ 92 |
Had not your law been my joy, in my misery then had I perished.
لَنْ أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ أَبَداً، لأَنَّكَ بِها وَهَبْتَنِي الْحَيَاةَ. | ٩٣ 93 |
I will never forget your precepts, for through them you have put life in me.
أَنَا لَكَ، فَخَلِّصْنِي، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ 94 |
I am yours, O save me, for I give my mind to your precepts.
تَرَبَّصَ بِيَ الأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي، لَكِنِّي أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٩٥ 95 |
The wicked lay wait to destroy me, but I give heed to your charge.
رَأَيْتُ لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ حَدّاً، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَلَا حَدَّ لَهَا. | ٩٦ 96 |
I have seen a limit to all things: but your commandment is spacious exceedingly.
كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ، إِنَّهَا مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٩٧ 97 |
O how I love your law! All the day long I muse on it.
وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لأَنَّهَا نَصِيبِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٩٨ 98 |
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies: for it is mine forever.
صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فَهْماً مِنْ مُعَلِّمِيَّ، لأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي. | ٩٩ 99 |
I am prudent above all my teachers, for your charges are my (meditation)
صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فِطْنَةً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ، لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ 100 |
I have insight more than the aged, because I observe your precepts.
مَنَعْتُ قَدَمَيَّ عَنْ سُلُوكِ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلامَكَ. | ١٠١ 101 |
I refrain my foot from all wicked ways, that I may keep your word.
لَمْ أَبْتَعِدْ عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لأَنَّكَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ 102 |
I turn not aside from your judgments, for you yourself are my teacher.
مَا أَحْلَى أَقْوَالَكَ لِمَذَاقِي. إِنَّهَا أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي. | ١٠٣ 103 |
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ اكْتَسَبْتُ فِطْنَةً لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٠٤ 104 |
Insight I win through your precepts, therefore every false way I hate.
سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ 105 |
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
أَقْسَمْتُ يَمِيناً مُوَثَّقَةً أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ١٠٦ 106 |
I have sworn an oath, and will keep it, to observe your righteous judgments.
قَاسَيْتُ جِدّاً فَأَنْعِشْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ. | ١٠٧ 107 |
I am afflicted sorely: revive me, O Lord, as you said.
تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Accept, Lord, my willing praise, and teach me your judgments.
نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٠٩ 109 |
My life is in ceaseless peril; but I do not forget your law.
نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked set traps for me, yet I do not stray from your precepts.
اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
In your charges are my everlasting inheritance, they are the joy of my heart.
لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ. | ١١٢ 112 |
I am resolved to perform your statutes forever, to the utmost.
أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
I hate people of divided heart, but your law do I love.
أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١١٤ 114 |
You are my shelter and shield: in your word do I hope.
ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Begone, you wicked people, I will keep the commands of my God.
كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Uphold me and spare me, as you have promised: O disappoint me not.
اعْضُدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِماً. | ١١٧ 117 |
Hold me up, and I shall be saved: and your statutes shall be my unceasing delight.
احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ 118 |
All who swerve from your statutes you spurn: their cunning is in vain.
رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
All the wicked of earth you count as dross, therefore I love your charges.
اقْشَعَرَّ بَدَنِي رُعْباً مِنْكَ وَجَزِعْتُ مِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٢٠ 120 |
My flesh, for fear of you, shudders, and I stand in awe of your judgments.
أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
Justice and right have I practised, do not leave me to my oppressors.
كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Be your servant’s surety for good, let not the proud oppress me.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
My eyes pine for your salvation, and for your righteous promise.
عَامِلْ عَبْدَكَ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢٤ 124 |
Deal in your love with your servant, and teach me your statutes.
عَبْدُكَ أَنَا، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٢٥ 125 |
Your servant am I; instruct me, that I may know your charges.
يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
It is time for the Lord to act: they have violated your law.
لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore I love your commandments above gold, above fine gold.
وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
So by all your precepts I guide me, and every false way I hate.
مَا أَعْجَبَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. لِذَلِكَ تُرَاعِيهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ 129 |
Your decrees are wonderful, gladly I keep them.
فَتْحُ كَلامِكَ يُنِيرُ الذِّهْنَ، وَيَهِبُ الْبُسَطَاءَ فَهْماً. | ١٣٠ 130 |
When your word is unfolded, light breaks; it imparts to the simple wisdom.
فَغَرْتُ فَمِي لاهِثاً اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣١ 131 |
With open mouth I pant with longing for your commandments.
الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُ دَائِماً مَعَ مُحِبِّيكَ. | ١٣٢ 132 |
Turn to me with your favor, as is just to those who love you.
ثَبِّتْ خُطْوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْ أَيَّ إِثْمٍ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣٣ 133 |
Steady my steps by your word, so that sin have no power over me.
حَرِّرْنِي مِنْ ظُلْمِ الإِنْسَانِ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣٤ 134 |
Set me free from those who oppress me, and I shall observe your precepts.
أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٣٥ 135 |
Shine with your face on your servant, and teach me your statutes.
فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ 136 |
My eyes run down with rills of water, because your law is not kept.
عَادِلٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ 137 |
Righteous are you, O Lord, and right are your ordinances.
أَصْدَرْتَ أَوَامِرَكَ بِعَدْلٍ وَبِأَقْصَى الأَمَانَةِ. | ١٣٨ 138 |
The laws you has ordered are just, and trusty exceedingly.
أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
My jealousy has undone me, that my foes have forgotten your words.
أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Your word has been tested well; and your servant loves it.
صَغِيرُ الشَّأْنِ أَنَا وَحَقِيرٌ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤١ 141 |
I am little and held in contempt, but your precepts I have not forgotten.
عَدْلُكَ عَدْلٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَشَرِيعَتُكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٤٢ 142 |
Just is your justice forever, and trusty is your law.
اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيَّ الضِّيقُ وَالشِّدَّةُ، وَلَا لَذَّةَ لِي إِلّا بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤٣ 143 |
Stress and strain are upon me, but your commandments are my delight.
شَهَادَاتُكَ عَدْلٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. فَهِّمْنِي إِيَّاهَا فَأَحْيَا. | ١٤٤ 144 |
Right are your charges forever, instruct me that I may live.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا رَبُّ، وَسَأُرَاعِي شَرَائِعَكَ. | ١٤٥ 145 |
With my whole heart I cry; O answer me. I would keep your statutes, O Lord.
إِيَّاكَ دَعَوْتُ فَخَلِّصْنِي لأُطِيعَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٤٦ 146 |
I cry to you: O save me, and I will observe your charges.
اسْتَيْقَظْتُ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَاسْتَغَثْتُ؛ رَجَائِي فِي كَلامِكَ. | ١٤٧ 147 |
Ere the dawn I cry for your help: in your word do I hope.
اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ أَظَلُّ مُسْتَيْقِظاً، أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ | ١٤٨ 148 |
Awake I meet the night-watches, to muse upon your sayings.
اسْتَمِعْ لِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَحْيِنِي بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٤٩ 149 |
Hear my voice in your kindness: O Lord, by your judgments revive me.
اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَ الرَّذِيلَةِ، الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٥٠ 150 |
Near me are wicked tormentors, who are far from thoughts of your law;
إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ، وَوَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا حَقٌّ. | ١٥١ 151 |
but near, too, are you, O Lord, and all your commandments are trusty.
مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ 152 |
Long have I known from your charges that you have founded them for all time.
انْظُرْ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي، لأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٥٣ 153 |
Look on my misery, and rescue me; for I do not forget your law.
تَوَلَّ قَضِيَّتِي وَافْدِنِي، أَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١٥٤ 154 |
Defend my cause and redeem me: revive me, as you have promised.
الْخَلاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ الأَشْرَارِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَطْلُبُونَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٥٥ 155 |
Salvation is far from the wicked, for their mind is not in your statutes.
مَا أَكْثَرَ مَرَاحِمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٥٦ 156 |
Great is your pity, O Lord: Revive me, as you have ordained.
كَثِيرُونَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي وَمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٥٧ 157 |
My foes and tormentors are many, but I have not declined from your charges.
نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْغَادِرِينَ شَزْراً، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٥٨ 158 |
I behold the traitors with loathing, for they do not observe your word.
انْظُرْ كَيْفَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ فَأَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ. | ١٥٩ 159 |
Behold how I love your precepts: revive me, O Lord!, in your kindness.
كَلامُكَ بِأَسْرِهِ حَقٌّ، وَكُلُّ أَحْكَامِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَادِلَةٌ. | ١٦٠ 160 |
The sum of your word is truth, all your laws are just and eternal.
اضْطَهَدَنِي رُؤَسَاءُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ، لَكِنَّ قَلْبِي لَا يَهَابُ سِوَى كَلامِكَ. | ١٦١ 161 |
Princes have harassed me wantonly: but my heart stands in awe of your word.
أَبْتَهِجُ بِكَلامِكَ كَبَهْجَةِ مَنْ عَثَرَ عَلَى غَنِيمَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ. | ١٦٢ 162 |
Over your word I rejoice as one who finds great spoil.
أَبْغَضْتُ الْكَذِبَ وَمَقَتُّهُ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا. | ١٦٣ 163 |
Falsehood I hate and abhor, but your law do I love.
سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ سَبَّحْتُكَ فِي النَّهَارِ عَلَى أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ١٦٤ 164 |
Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.
سَلامٌ جَزِيلٌ لِمُحِبِّي شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَلَنْ يُعْثِرَهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا شَيْءٌ | ١٦٥ 165 |
Right well do they fare who love your law: they go on their way without stumbling.
رَجَوْتُ خَلاصَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَوَصَايَاكَ عَمِلْتُ. | ١٦٦ 166 |
I hope for your salvation; O Lord I do your commandments.
حَفِظَتْ نَفْسِي شَهَادَاتِكَ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهَا جِدّاً. | ١٦٧ 167 |
I observe your charges: I love them greatly.
رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ وَشَهَادَاتِكَ، وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِي مَاثِلَةٌ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٦٨ 168 |
I observe your precepts and charges: all my ways are before you.
لِيَصِلْ صُرَاخِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ. هَبْنِي فَهْماً حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ. | ١٦٩ 169 |
Let my cry come before you, O Lord: give me insight, as you have promised.
لِتَمْثُلْ طِلْبَتِي أَمَامَكَ. أَنْقِذْنِي بِمُوجِبِ وَعْدِكَ. | ١٧٠ 170 |
Let my prayer enter into your presence: deliver me, as you have said.
تَفِيضُ شَفَتَايَ تَسْبِيحاً إذْ تُعَلِّمُنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٧١ 171 |
My lips shall be fountains of praise, that you teach me your statutes.
يَشْدُو لِسَانِي بِأَقْوَالِكَ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاكَ عَدْلٌ. | ١٧٢ 172 |
My tongue shall sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
لِتُغِثْنِي يَدُكَ لأَنِّي اخْتَرْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٣ 173 |
Let your hand be ready to help me, for your precepts have been my choice.
اشْتَقْتُ إِلَى خَلاصِكَ يَا رَبُّ؛ شَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي. | ١٧٤ 174 |
I long, Lord, for your salvation, and your law is my delight.
لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي فَتُسَبِّحَكَ وَلْتَكُنْ أَحْكَامُكَ لِي عَوْناً. | ١٧٥ 175 |
Revive me that I may praise you, and let your precepts help me.
تِهْتُ كَخَرُوفٍ ضَالٍّ. فَابْحَثْ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٦ 176 |
I have strayed like a wandering sheep seek your servant, because I do not forget your commandments.
