Psalms 64
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا اللهُ اسْمَعْ صَوْتِي حِينَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ أَمْرِي، وَاحْفَظْ حَيَاتِي مِنْ رَهْبَةِ عَدُوِّي. | ١ |
2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
| اسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَمِنْ هِيَاجِ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، | ٢ |
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
| الَّذِينَ سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَالسَّيْفِ، وَصَوَّبُوا سِهَامَ كَلامِهِمِ الْمُرِّ، | ٣ |
4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
| لِيَرْمُوا الْبَرِيءَ مِنْ مَكَامِنِهِمْ. يَرْمُونَهُ فَجْأَةً وَمِنْ غَيْرِ رَادِعٍ. | ٤ |
5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
| يُشَدِّدُونَ عَزَائِمَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ شِرِّيرٍ، وَيَكِيدُونَ لِنَصْبِ الْفِخَاخِ خُفْيَةً، قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَرَانَا؟» | ٥ |
6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
| يُدَبِّرُونَ الْمَكَائِدَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ: «نَحْنُ عَلَى أُهْبَةِ الاسْتِعْدَادِ فَقَدْ أَحْكَمْنَا الْخُطَّةَ». فَمَا أَعْمَقَ مَا يُضْمِرُهُ قَلْبُ الإِنْسَانِ مِنْ أَفْكَارٍ! | ٦ |
7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
| لَكِنَّ اللهَ يُطْلِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَهْماً فَيُصَابُونَ فَجْأَةً بِجِرَاحٍ. | ٧ |
8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
| كَلِمَاتُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ تَرْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَرَاهُمْ يَهُزُّ رَأْسَهُ احْتِقَاراً، | ٨ |
9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
| فَيَخَافُ جَمِيعُ الْبَشَرِ وَيُذِيعُونَ مَا فَعَلَهُ اللهُ، مُعْتَبِرِينَ بِصَنَائِعِهِ. | ٩ |
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
| يَفْرَحُ الْبَارُّ بِالرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ جَمِيعُ أَصْحَابِ الْقُلُوبِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ. | ١٠ |
