< المَزامِير 17 >
صَلاةٌ رَفَعَهَا دَاوُدُ اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ دَعْوَى الْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى صَلاتِي الصَّاعِدَةِ مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ صَادِقَتَيْنِ. | ١ 1 |
Hear the right, O YHWH, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
لِيَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ قَضَائِي، وَلْتُلاحِظْ عَيْنَاكَ اسْتِقَامَتِي. | ٢ 2 |
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
اخْتَبَرْتَ قَلْبِي إِذِ افْتَقَدْتَنِي لَيْلاً، وَامْتَحَنْتَنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ فِيَّ سُوءاً. لَمْ تُخَالِفْ أَقْوَالِي أَفْكَارِي. | ٣ 3 |
Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou has tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
مَا شَأْنِي بِأَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ الشِّرِّيرَةِ؟ فَبِفَضْلِ كَلامِ شَفَتَيْكَ تَفَادَيْتُ مَسَالِكَ الْعَنِيفِ. | ٤ 4 |
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
ثَبَّتُّ خُطْوَاتِي فِي طُرُقِكَ فَلَمْ تَزِلَّ قَدَمَايَ. | ٥ 5 |
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
إِلَيْكَ دَعَوْتُ اللهُمَّ، لأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ، فَأَرهِفْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ وَأَصْغِ لِكَلامِي. | ٦ 6 |
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O El: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
أَظْهِرْ رَوْعَةَ مَرَاحِمِكَ يَا مَنْ تُخَلِّصُ بِيَمِينِكَ مَنْ يَلْتَجِئُونَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مُطَارِدِيهِمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
احْفَظْنِي كَحَدَقَةِ عَيْنِكَ، وَاسْتُرْنِي بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ يُخْرِبُونَنِي، مِنْ أَعْدَائِي الْقَتَلَةِ الْمُحْدِقِينَ بِي. | ٩ 9 |
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
عَوَاطِفُهُمْ مُتَحَجِّرَةٌ لَا تُشْفِقُ. أَفْوَاهُهُمْ تَنْطِقُ بِالْكِبْرِيَاءِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
حَاصَرُونَا مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، وَوَطَّدُوا العَزْمَ عَلَى طَرْحِنَا أَرْضاً. | ١١ 11 |
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
الشِّرِّيرُ كَأَسَدٍ مُتَلَهِّفٍ لِلاِفْتِرَاسِ، وَكَالشِّبْلِ الْكَامِنِ فِي مَخْبَئِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
قُمْ يَا رَبُّ تَصَدَّ لَهُ. اصْرَعْهُ. وَبِسَيْفِكَ نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Arise, O YHWH, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is 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 which are thy hand, O YHWH, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أُشَاهِدُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ، إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظْتُ، مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
