مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ دَعَوْتُ، فَأَسْرِعْ لإِغَاثَتِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَمَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ. ١ 1
Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.
لِتَكُنْ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ كَالْبَخُورِ، وَرَفْعُ يَدَيَّ مِثْلَ تَقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَاءِ. ٢ 2
Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
أَقِمْ يَا رَبُّ حَارِساً لِفَمِي، وَاحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ. ٣ 3
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard my lips.
لَا تَدَعْ قَلْبِي يَتَعَلَّقُ بِشَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ، فَيُمَارِسَ أَعْمَالَ الشَّرِّ مَعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. وَلَا تَدَعْنِي آكُلُ مِنْ أَطَايِبِهِمْ. ٤ 4
Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
لِيَضْرِبْنِي الصِّدِّيقُ فَذَلِكَ رَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَذَلِكَ زَيْتٌ عَاطِرٌ لِرَأْسِي. أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي دَائِماً (كَي تَحْفَظَنِي مِنْ أَفْعَالِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ). ٥ 5
It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
عِنْدَمَا يُلْقَى بِقُضَاتِهِمِ الظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، آنَئِذٍ يَسْمَعُونَ لِكَلِمَاتِي إِذْ يُوْقِنُونَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ. ٦ 6
When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
تَتَنَاثَرُ عِظَامُهُمْ عِنْدَ فَمِ الْقَبْرِ كَشَظَايَا الْحَطَبِ الْمُشَقَّقَةِ الْمُبَعْثَرَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. (Sheol h7585) ٧ 7
Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (Sheol h7585)
لَكِنَّ نَحْوَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ، وَبِكَ لُذْتُ، فَلَا تَتْرُكْ نَفْسِي عُرْضَةً لِلْمَوْتِ. ٨ 8
But Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الْفَخِّ الَّذِي نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. ٩ 9
[It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
لِيَسْقُطِ الأَشْرَارُ فِي أَشْرَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ تَمَامَ النَّجَاةِ. ١٠ 10
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
