لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – عَلَى لَا تُهْلِكْ. قَصِيدَةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا هَرَبَ مِنْ شَاوُلَ إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْمَغَارَةِ. ارْحَمْنِي يَا اللهُ ارْحَمْنِي، لأَنَّ بِكَ لاذَتْ نَفْسِي، وَبِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ أَحْتَمِي إِلَى أَنْ تَعْبُرَ الْمَصَائِبُ. | ١ 1 |
For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time he fled from Saul and hid in the cave. Please be kind to me, God! Be kind to me because I come to you for protection. I will shelter under the shadow of your wings until the danger is past.
أَصْرُخُ إِلَى اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ، الَّذِي يُتَمِّمُ لِي مَقَاصِدَهُ، | ٢ 2 |
I cry out for help to God Most High, to God who vindicates me.
فَيُرْسِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُخَلِّصُنِي، وَيَمْلَأُ بِالْخِزْيِ مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَفْتَرِسَنِي. يُرْسِلُ اللهُ رَحْمَتَهُ وَحَقَّهُ. | ٣ 3 |
From heaven he sends his help, and he saves me. He defeats those who persecute me. (Selah) God sends me his unfailing love, showing he is completely trustworthy.
حِينَ أَرْقُدُ بَيْنَ نَافِثِي السُّمُومِ مِنْ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ أَجِدُ نَفْسِي بَيْنَ الأُسُودِ الْمُفْتَرِسَةِ؛ أَنْيَابُهُمْ كَالرِّمَاحِ وَالسِّهَامِ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ كَالسُّيُوفِ الْحَادَّةِ. | ٤ 4 |
I am surrounded by man-eating lions—I am forced to live with them! Their teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongues are swords.
لِتَتَعَالَ يَا اللهُ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلْيَرْتَفِعْ مَجْدُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. | ٥ 5 |
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
نَصَبُوا شَبَكَةً لِخُطْوَاتِي، فَانْحَنَتْ نَفْسِي. حَفَرُوا أَمَامِي حُفْرَةً فَسَقَطُوا هُمْ فِيهَا. | ٦ 6 |
They set a trap to catch me. I was so depressed. They dug a pit on my path but they were the ones who fell into it. (Selah)
ثَابِتٌ قَلْبِي يَا اللهُ، ثَابِتٌ قَلْبِي. أَشْدُو وَأُرَنِّمُ. | ٧ 7 |
I have confidence in you, God, I have confidence in you. I will sing songs of praise to you.
اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا نَفْسِي. اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا رَبَابُ وَيَا عُوْدُ. سَأُوْقِظُ الفَجْرَ عَلَى شَدْوِي. | ٨ 8 |
I say to myself, “Wake up!” Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn!
يَا رَبُّ أَحْمَدُكَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ وَأَشْدُو لَكَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. | ٩ 9 |
I will thank you among the peoples, Lord; I will sing your praises among the nations.
لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ قَدْ عَظُمَتْ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَحَقُّكَ إِلَى الْغَمَامِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Your faithful love reaches to the heavens; your trustworthiness to the clouds.
ارْتَفِعْ يَا اللهُ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَلْيَرْتَفِعْ مَجْدُكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. | ١١ 11 |
God, your greatness is above the highest heavens; and your glory covers the whole earth!
