Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الآلاتِ الْوَتَرِيَّةِ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ أَصْغِ يَا اللهُ إِلَى صَلاتِي، وَلَا تَتَغَافَلْ عَنْ تَضَرُّعِي. | ١ |
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
| اسْتَمِعْ لِي وَاسْتَجِبْ، لأَنِّي حَائِرٌ وَمُضْطَرِبٌ فِي كُرْبَتِي، | ٢ |
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
| مِنْ تَهْدِيدَاتِ الأَعْدَاءِ وَجَوْرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَجْلِبُونَ عَلَيَّ الْمَتَاعِبَ، وَبِغَضَبٍ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي. | ٣ |
4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
| قَلْبِي يَتَوَجَّعُ فِي دَاخِلِي، وَأَهْوَالُ الْمَوْتِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. | ٤ |
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
| اعْتَرَانِي الْخَوْفُ وَالارْتِعَادُ، وَطَغَى عَلَيَّ الرُّعْبُ. | ٥ |
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
| فَقُلْتُ: «لَيْتَ لِي جَنَاحاً كَالْحَمَامَةِ فَأَطِيرَ وَأَسْتَرِيحَ. | ٦ |
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
| كُنْتُ أَشْرُدُ هَارِباً وَأبِيتُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٧ |
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
| كُنْتُ أُسْرِعُ لِلنَّجَاةِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْعَاصِفَةِ، وَمِنَ نَوْءِ الْبَحْرِ». | ٨ |
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
| بَلْبِلْ أَلْسِنَةَ (أَعْدَائِي) يَا رَبُّ وَأَبْكِمْهُمْ، فَإِنِّي أَرَى فِي الْمَدِينَةِ عُنْفاً وَعُدْوَاناً، | ٩ |
10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
| يُحْدِقَانِ بِأَسْوَارِهَا نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، وَفِي وَسَطِهَا الإِثْمُ وَالأَذَى. | ١٠ |
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
| الْمَفَاسِدُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَالظُّلْمُ وَالْغِشُّ لَا يُفَارقَانِ سَاحَاتِهَا. | ١١ |
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
| لَوْ كَانَ عَدُوِّي هُوَ الَّذَي يُعَيِّرُنِي لَكُنْتُ أَحْتَمِلُ. وَلَوْ كَانَ مَنْ يُبْغِضُنِي هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَجَبَّرُ عَلَيَّ لَكُنْتُ أَخْتَبِئُ مِنْهُ. | ١٢ |
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
| وَلَكِنَّكَ عَدِيلِي، وَإِلْفِي وَصَدِيقِي الْحَمِيمُ، | ١٣ |
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
| الَّذِي كَانَتْ لَنَا عِشْرَةٌ مَعَهُ، وَكُنَّا نَتَرَافَقُ فِي الْحُضُورِ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ مَعَ جُمْهُورِ الْعَابِدِينَ. | ١٤ |
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
| لِيُفَاجِئِ الْمَوْتُ أَعْدَائِي فَيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ أَحْيَاءَ، لأَنَّ الشَّرَّ جَاثِمٌ فِي وَسَطِ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ. (Sheol h7585) | ١٥ |
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالرَّبِّ أَسْتَغِيثُ وَالرَّبُّ يُخَلِّصُنِي. | ١٦ |
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
| مَسَاءً وَصَبَاحاً وَظُهْراً أَشْكُو لَهُ صَارِخاً وَنَائِحاً، فَيَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي. | ١٧ |
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
| يُخَلِّصُ نَفْسِي بِسَلامٍ مِنَ الْمَعَارِكِ النَّاشِبَةِ حَوْلِي إِذْ إِنَّ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ كَثِيرُونَ. | ١٨ |
19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
| حَقّاً إنَّ اللهَ الْجَالِسَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ يَسْمَعُ لِي فَيُذِلُّ أَعْدَائِي، الَّذِينَ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُونَ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ اللهَ. | ١٩ |
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
| (رَفِيقِي الْقَدِيمُ) هَاجَمَ أَصْحَابَهُ الْمُسَالِمِينَ وَنَقَضَ عَهْدَهُ مَعَهُمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
| كَانَ كَلامُهُ أَنْعَمَ مِنَ الزُّبْدَةِ، وَفِي قَلْبِهِ يُضْمِرُ الْقِتَالَ. كَلِمَاتُهُ أَلْيَنُ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ، وَلَكِنَّهَا سُيُوفٌ مَسْلُولَةٌ. | ٢١ |
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
| أَلْقِ عَلَى الرَّبِّ هَمَّكَ وَهُوَ يَعْتَنِي بِكَ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَدَعُ الصِّدِّيقَ يَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢٢ |
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا اللهُ تَطْرَحُ الأَشْرَارَ إِلَى هُوَّةِ الْهَلاكِ وَتُقَصِّرُ أَعْمَارَ سَافِكِي الدِّمَاءِ وَالْغَشَّاشِينَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٢٣ |
