صَلاةٌ رَفَعَهَا دَاوُدُ اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ دَعْوَى الْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى صَلاتِي الصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ صَادِقَتَيْنِ. ١ 1
A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ قَضَائِي، وَلْتُلاحِظْ عَيْنَاكَ اسْتِقَامَتِي. ٢ 2
Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
اخْتَبَرْتَ قَلْبِي إِذِ افْتَقَدْتَنِي لَيْلاً، وَامْتَحَنْتَنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيَّ سُوءاً. لَمْ تُخَالِفْ أَقْوَالِي أَفْكَارِي. ٣ 3
Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
مَا شَأْنِي بِأَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ؟ فَبِفَضْلِ كَلامِ شَفَتَيْكَ تَفَادَيْتُ مَسَالِكَ الْعَنِيفِ. ٤ 4
As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
ثَبَّتُّ خُطْوَاتِي فِي طُرُقِكَ فَلَمْ تَزِلَّ قَدَمَايَ. ٥ 5
My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
إِلَيْكَ دَعَوْتُ اللهُمَّ، لأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ، فَأَرهِفْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ وَأَصْغِ لِكَلامِي. ٦ 6
As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
أَظْهِرْ رَوْعَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ يَا مَنْ تُخَلِّصُ بِيَمِينِكَ مَنْ يَلْتَجِئُونَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مُطَارِدِيهِمْ. ٧ 7
Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
احْفَظْنِي كَحَدَقَةِ عَيْنِكَ، وَاسْتُرْنِي بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ. ٨ 8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ يُخْرِبُونَنِي، مِنْ أَعْدَائِي الْقَتَلَةِ الْمُحْدِقِينَ بِي. ٩ 9
From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
عَوَاطِفُهُمْ مُتَحَجِّرَةٌ لَا تُشْفِقُ. أَفْوَاهُهُمْ تَنْطِقُ بِالْكِبْرِيَاءِ. ١٠ 10
Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
حَاصَرُونَا مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَوَطَّدُوا العَزْمَ عَلَى طَرْحِنَا أَرْضاً. ١١ 11
At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
الشِّرِّيرُ كَأَسَدٍ مُتَلَهِّفٍ لِلاِفْتِرَاسِ، وَكَالشِّبْلِ الْكَامِنِ فِي مَخْبَئِهِ. ١٢ 12
He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
قُمْ يَا رَبُّ تَصَدَّ لَهُ. اصْرَعْهُ. وَبِسَيْفِكَ نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ. ١٣ 13
Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
أَنْقِذْنِي بِيَدِكَ يَا رَبُّ مِنَ النَّاسِ. مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا الَّذِينَ نَصِيبُهُمْ هُوَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ. أَنْتَ تَمْلَأُ بُطُونَهُمْ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِكَ الْمَخْزُونَةِ، فَيَشْبَعُ أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ، وَيُوَرِّثُونَ أَوْلادَهُمْ مَا يَفْضُلُ عَنْهُمْ. ١٤ 14
From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أُشَاهِدُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ، إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظْتُ، مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِكَ. ١٥ 15
As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
