Psalms 12

1 Help, Jehovah, for the holy man ceases, for the faithful fail from among the sons of men.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَرَارِ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَغِثْ يَا رَبُّ لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَرَضَ التَّقِيُّ، وَاخْتَفَى الأُمَنَاءُ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ.

2 They speak falsehood everyone with his neighbor. With flattering lip, and with a double heart, they speak.

٢ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُخَاطِبُ صَاحِبَهُ بِالْبَاطِلِ: بِشِفَاهٍ مَلِقَةٍ وَقُلُوبٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ يَتَحَادَثُونَ.

3 Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things,

٣ يَقْطَعُ الرَّبُّ كُلَّ الشِّفَاهِ الْمَلِقَةِ، وَكُلَّ لِسَانٍ مُتَبَجِّحٍ.

4 who have said, With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?

٤ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا: أَلْسِنَتُنَا لَنَا وَبِهَا نَسُودُ. فَمَنْ يَتَحَكَّمُ فِينَا؟

5 Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, says Jehovah. I will set him in the safety he gasps for.

٥ وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَقُولُ: إِنْقَاذاً لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَاسْتِجَابَةً لِتَنَهُّدَاتِ الْمَظْلُومِينَ، أَهُبُّ الآنَ لأُفَرِّجَ كُرْبَةَ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ.

6 The words of Jehovah are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

٦ أَقْوَالُ الرَّبِّ خَالِصَةٌ لَا شَائِبَةَ فِيهَا، كالْفِضَّةِ الْمُنَقَّاةِ الْمُصَفَّاةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي بَوتَقَةٍ مُحَمَّاةٍ.

7 Thou will keep them, O Jehovah. Thou will preserve them from this generation forever.

٧ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَحْفَظُ الأَبْرَارَ، وَتَقِيهِمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ مِنْ جِيلِ الأَشْرَارِ.

8 The wicked walk on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

٨ يَتَجَوَّلُ الأَشْرَارُ أَحْرَاراً فِي كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ، عِنْدَمَا يَتَبَوَّأُ أَرَاذِلُ النَّاسِ الْمَقَامَاتِ الرَّفِيعَةَ.
