لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الآلاتِ الْوَتَرِيَّةِ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ بِرِّي، فَقَدْ أَفْرَجْتَ لِي دَوْماً فِي الضِّيقِ، فَأَنْعِمْ عَلَيَّ وَأَصْغِ إِلَى صَلاتِي. | ١ 1 |
Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and sh'ma ·hear obey· my prayer.
إِلَى مَتَى يَا بَنِي الْبَشَرِ تُحَوِّلُونَ مَجْدِي عَاراً؟ وَإِلَى مَتَى تُحِبُّونَ الأُمُورَ البَاطِلَةَ، وَتَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ الأَكَاذِيبِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
You sons of men, how long shall my kavod ·weighty glory· be turned into dishonor? Will you 'ahav ·affectionately love· vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ مَيَّزَ لِنَفْسِهِ تَقِيَّهُ؛ الرَّبُّ يَسْمَعُ عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوهُ. | ٣ 3 |
But know that Adonai has set apart for himself him who is godly: Adonai will sh'ma ·hear obey· when I call to him.
ارْتَعِدُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا. فَكِّرُوا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ عَلَى مَضَاجِعِكُمْ مُلْتَزِمِين الصَّمْتَ. | ٤ 4 |
You can be angry, but don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·
قَدِّمُوا ذَبَائِحَ الْبِرِّ، وَاتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ. | ٥ 5 |
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Adonai.
مَا أَكْثَرَ الْمُتَسَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يُرِينَا خَيْراً؟» أَشْرِقْ عَلَيْنَا أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ. | ٦ 6 |
Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Adonai, let the light of your face shine on us.
غَرَسْتَ فِي قَلْبِي فَرَحاً أَعْظَمَ مِنْ فَرَحِ مَنِ امْتَلَأَتْ بُيُوتُهُمْ وَأَجْرَانُهُمْ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالْخَمْرِ الْجَدِيدَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
بِسَلامٍ أَضْطَجِعُ وَأَنَامُ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ يَا رَبُّ تُنْعِمُ عَلَيَّ بِالطُّمَأْنِينَةِ وَالسَّلامِ. | ٨ 8 |
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Adonai alone, make me live in safety.
