< Psalms 69 >

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا اللهُ، فَإِنَّ الْمِيَاهَ قَدْ غَمَرَتْ نَفْسِي.١
2 I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.
غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ وَلَا مَكَانَ فِيهَا أَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ. خُضْتُ أَعْمَاقَ الْمِيَاهِ. وَطَمَا عَلَيَّ السَّيْلُ.٢
3 I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. جَفَّ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ وَأَنَا أَنْتَظِرُ إِلَهِي.٣
4 Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ أَكْثَرُ عَدَداً مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَطَالِبُو هَلاكِي طُغَاةٌ جَائِرُونَ. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ مَا لَمْ أَغْتَصِبْهُ.٤
5 You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
يَا اللهُ أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ حَمَاقَتِي، وَمَعَاصِيَّ لَمْ تَخْفَ عَنْكَ.٥
6 May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.
أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، لَا تَدَعْنِي أَكُونُ عِلَّةَ خِزْيِ مُلْتَمِسِيكَ، وَلَا مَثَارَ خَجَلِ طَالِبِيكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٦
7 For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.
لأَنَّنِي تَحَمَّلْتُ الْعَارَ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ، وَغَطَّى الْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.٧
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,
صِرْتُ غَرِيباً فِي عُيُونِ إِخْوَتِي، وَأَجْنَبِيًّا فِي نَظَرِ بَنِي أُمِّي.٨
9 because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
لأَنَّ الْغَيْرَةَ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي وَتَعْيِيرَاتُ الَّذِينَ يُعَيِّرُونَكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.٩
10 I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.
صُمْتُ وَبَكَيْتُ فَعَيَّرُونِي.١٠
11 I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.
اتَّشَحْتُ بِالمُسُوحِ فَصِرْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ مَثَلاً.١١
12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
صِرْتُ حَدِيثَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَأُغْنِيَةً لِلسُّكَارَى.١٢
13 But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ صَلاتِي يَا رَبُّ؛ لأَنَّ هَذَا أَوَانُ الرِّضَى، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا اللهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الْغَزِيرَةِ وَبِحَقِّ خَلاصِكَ.١٣
14 Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.
أَنْقِذْنِي مِنَ الوَحْلِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَانْتَشِلْنِي مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الْمِيَاهِ.١٤
15 Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
لَا يَطْمُ عَلَيَّ سَيْلُ الْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي الْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ الْهُوَّةُ عَلَيَّ فَمَهَا.١٥
16 Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.
اسْتَجِبْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ، وَبِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِمِكَ الْوَفِيرَةِ الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.١٦
17 Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!
لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لأَنَّنِي فِي ضِيقٍ، فَأَسْرِعْ وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي.١٧
18 Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.
اقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي، وَفُكَّهَا. افْدِنِي بِأَعْدَائِي١٨
19 You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَهَوَانِي. أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِيَّ.١٩
20 Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.
كَسَرَ الْعَارُ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. الْتَمَسْتُ عَطْفاً فَلَمْ أَجِدْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَعْثُرْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ.٢٠
21 They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
وَضَعُوا عَلْقَماً فِي طَعَامِي، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلاً.٢١
22 May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.
لِتَصِرْ لَهُمْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخّاً وَعَقَبَةً وَعِقَاباً.٢٢
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا وَلْتَكُنْ ظُهُورُهُمْ مُنْحَنِيَةً دَائِماً.٢٣
24 Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.
صُبَّ سَخَطَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ غَضَبُكَ الْمُحْتَدِمُ.٢٤
25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
لِيَصِرْ مَسْكَنُهُمْ خَرَاباً، وَلَا يَبْقَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ سَاكِنٌ.٢٥
26 For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.
لأَنَّهُمْ يَضْطَهِدُونَ مَنْ عَاقَبْتَهُ، وَيَشْمَتُونَ فِي وَجَعِ الَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ.٢٦
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.
زِدْ إِثْماً عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ وَلَا تُبْرِئْ سَاحَتَهُمْ.٢٧
28 May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.
لِتُحْذَفْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ وَلَا تُكْتَبْ مَعَ الأَبْرَارِ.٢٨
29 But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمُتَضَايِقٌ وَمُتَوَجِّعٌ. فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي خَلاصُكَ يَا اللهُ.٢٩
30 I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
أُسَبِّحُ اسْمَ اللهِ بِنَشِيدٍ وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.٣٠
31 And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.
فَيَطِيبُ ذَلِكَ لَدَى الرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَةٍ: ثَوْرٍ أَوْ عِجْلٍ.٣١
32 The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!
يَرَى الْوُدَعَاءُ ذَلِكَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ. وَتَحْيَا نُفُوسُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي اللهِ.٣٢
33 For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.
لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِلْمُحْتَاجِينَ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ شَعْبَهُ الأَسِيرَ.٣٣
34 Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
تُسَبِّحُهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَالْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَتَحَرَّكَ فِيهَا.٣٤
35 For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.
لأَنَّ اللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُ الشَّعْبُ فِيهَا وَيَمْتَلِكُهَا.٣٥
36 The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will settle in it.
تَرِثُهَا ذُرِّيَّةُ عَبِيدِهِ، وَمُحِبُّو اسْمِهِ يَسْكُنوُنَ فِيهَا.٣٦
