Psalms 109
1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. A Psalm. God of my praise, let my prayer be answered;
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَا إِلَهَ تَسْبِيحِي لَا تَسْكُتْ، | ١ |
2 For the mouth of the sinner is open against me in deceit: his tongue has said false things against me.
| لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ عَلَيَّ فَمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ وَفَمُ ٱلْغِشِّ. تَكَلَّمُوا مَعِي بِلِسَانِ كِذْبٍ، | ٢ |
3 Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.
| بِكَلَامِ بُغْضٍ أَحَاطُوا بِي، وَقَاتَلُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٣ |
4 For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.
| بَدَلَ مَحَبَّتِي يُخَاصِمُونَنِي. أَمَّا أَنَا فَصَلَاةٌ. | ٤ |
5 They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.
| وَضَعُوا عَلَيَّ شَرًّا بَدَلَ خَيْرٍ، وَبُغْضًا بَدَلَ حُبِّي. | ٥ |
6 Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.
| فَأَقِمْ أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ شِرِّيرًا، وَلْيَقِفْ شَيْطَانٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ. | ٦ |
7 When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.
| إِذَا حُوكِمَ فَلْيَخْرُجْ مُذْنِبًا، وَصَلَاتُهُ فَلْتَكُنْ خَطِيَّةً. | ٧ |
8 Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.
| لِتَكُنْ أَيَّامُهُ قَلِيلَةً، وَوَظِيفَتُهُ لِيَأْخُذْهَا آخَرُ. | ٨ |
9 Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.
| لِيَكُنْ بَنُوهُ أَيْتَامًا وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ أَرْمَلَةً. | ٩ |
10 Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.
| لِيَتِهْ بَنُوهُ تَيَهَانًا وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَيَلْتَمِسُوا خُبْزًا مِنْ خِرَبِهِمْ. | ١٠ |
11 Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.
| لِيَصْطَدِ ٱلْمُرَابِي كُلَّ مَا لَهُ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ تَعَبَهُ. | ١١ |
12 Let no man have pity on him, or give help to his children when he is dead.
| لَا يَكُنْ لَهُ بَاسِطٌ رَحْمَةً، وَلَا يَكُنْ مُتَرَأِفٌ عَلَى يَتَامَاهُ. | ١٢ |
13 Let his seed be cut off; in the coming generation let their name go out of memory.
| لِتَنْقَرِضْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ. فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْقَادِمِ لِيُمْحَ ٱسْمُهُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 Let the Lord keep in mind the wrongdoing of his fathers; and may the sin of his mother have no forgiveness.
| لِيُذْكَرْ إِثْمُ آبَائِهِ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تُمْحَ خَطِيَّةُ أُمِّهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Let them be ever before the eyes of the Lord, so that the memory of them may be cut off from the earth.
| لِتَكُنْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا، وَلْيَقْرِضْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ. | ١٥ |
16 Because he had no mercy, but was cruel to the low and the poor, designing the death of the broken-hearted.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ رَحْمَةً، بَلْ طَرَدَ إِنْسَانًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لِيُمِيتَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 As he took pleasure in cursing, so let it come on him; and as he had no delight in blessing, let it be far from him.
| وَأَحَبَّ ٱللَّعْنَةَ فَأَتَتْهُ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِٱلْبَرَكَةِ فَتَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ. | ١٧ |
18 He put on cursing like a robe, and it has come into his body like water, and into his bones like oil.
| وَلَبِسَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ مِثْلَ ثَوْبِهِ، فَدَخَلَتْ كَمِيَاهٍ فِي حَشَاهُ وَكَزَيْتٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ. | ١٨ |
19 Let it be to him as a robe which he puts on, let it be like a band which is round him at all times.
| لِتَكُنْ لَهُ كَثَوْبٍ يَتَعَطَّفُ بِهِ، وَكَمِنْطَقَةٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهَا دَائِمًا. | ١٩ |
20 Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.
| هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأُجْرَةُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ شَرًّا عَلَى نَفْسِي. | ٢٠ |
21 But, O Lord God, give me your help, because of your name; take me out of danger, because your mercy is good.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فَٱصْنَعْ مَعِي مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ طَيِّبَةٌ نَجِّنِي. | ٢١ |
22 For I am poor and in need, and my heart is wounded in me.
| فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ أَنَا، وَقَلْبِي مَجْرُوحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٢ |
23 I am gone like the shade when it is stretched out: I am forced out of my place like a locust.
| كَظِلٍّ عِنْدَ مَيْلِهِ ذَهَبْتُ. ٱنْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ. | ٢٣ |
24 My knees are feeble for need of food; there is no fat on my bones.
| رُكْبَتَايَ ٱرْتَعَشَتَا مِنَ ٱلصَّوْمِ، وَلَحْمِي هُزِلَ عَنْ سِمَنٍ. | ٢٤ |
25 As for me, they make sport of me; shaking their heads when they see me.
| وَأَنَا صِرْتُ عَارًا عِنْدَهُمْ. يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ وَيُنْغِضُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ | ٢٥ |
26 Give me help, O Lord my God; in your mercy be my saviour;
| أَعِنِّي يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي. خَلِّصْنِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 So that they may see that it is the work of your hand; that you, Lord, have done it.
| وَلْيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ. أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا. | ٢٧ |
28 They may give curses but you give blessing; when they come up against me, put them to shame; but let your servant be glad.
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَيَلْعَنُونَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُ. قَامُوا وَخَزُوا، أَمَّا عَبْدُكَ فَيَفْرَحُ. | ٢٨ |
29 Let my haters be clothed with shame, covering themselves with shame as with a robe.
| لِيَلْبِسْ خُصَمَائِي خَجَلًا، وَلْيَتَعَطَّفُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَٱلرِّدَاءِ. | ٢٩ |
30 I will give the Lord great praise with my mouth; yes, I will give praise to him among all the people.
| أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ جِدًّا بِفَمِي، وَفِي وَسَطِ كَثِيرِينَ أُسَبِّحُهُ. | ٣٠ |
31 For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.
| لِأَنَّهُ يَقُومُ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَسْكِينِ، لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَاضِينَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ. | ٣١ |
