المَزامِير 143
| مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ اسْمَعْ صَلاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى تَضَرُّعَاتِي. اسْتَجِبْ لِي بِفَضْلِ أَمَانَتِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ. | ١ 1 |
A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: hearken to my supplication in thy truth; hear me in thy righteousness.
| لَا تُحَاكِمْ عَبْدَكَ، فَلَنْ يَتَبَرَّرَ أَمَامَكَ إِنْسَانٌ. | ٢ 2 |
And enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no [man] living be justified.
| الْعَدُوُّ يَضْطَهِدُنِي، يَسْحَقُ حَيَاتِي. زَجَّنِي فِي سِجْنٍ مُظْلِمٍ، فَصِرْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَانْدَثَرَ ذِكْرُهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
| غُشِيَ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي، وَتَحَيَّرَ قَلْبِي فِي أَعْمَاقِي. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ الأَيَّامَ السَّالِفَةَ مُتَأَمِّلاً فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكَ، مُتَفَكِّراً فِي صَنِيعِ يَدَيْكَ. | ٥ 5 |
I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all thy doings: [yea], I meditated on the works of thine hands.
| بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ، عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي كَأَرْضٍ ظَامِئَةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
I spread forth my hands to thee; my soul [thirsts] for thee, as a dry land. (Pause)
| أَجِبْنِي مُسْرِعاً يَا رَبُّ. وَهَنَتْ رُوحِي فَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي، لِئَلّا أَصِيرَ كالْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ. | ٧ 7 |
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away thy face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
| أَسْمِعْنِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ رَحْمَتَكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. عَرِّفْنِي الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي أَسْلُكُهَا، لأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ نَفْسِي. | ٨ 8 |
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in thee; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
| أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَا رَبُّ، لأَنَّنِي بِكَ اسْتَعَذْتُ. | ٩ 9 |
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to thee for refuge.
| عَلِّمْنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، وَلْيَهْدِنِي رُوحُكَ الصَّالِحُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy good Spirit shall guide me in the straight [way].
| أَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ أَفْرِجْ ضِيقَ نَفْسِي. | ١١ 11 |
Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction.
| بِرَحْمَتِكَ لِي اسْتَأْصِلْ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَهْلِكْ جَمِيعَ ظَالِمِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا خَادِمُكَ. | ١٢ 12 |
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies, and wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
