< Psalms 143 >

1 A Psalm. Of David. Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْمَعْ صَلَاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى تَضَرُّعَاتِي. بِأَمَانَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِعَدْلِكَ.١
2 Let not your servant come before you to be judged; for no man living is upright in your eyes.
وَلَا تَدْخُلْ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَتَبَرَّرَ قُدَّامَكَ حَيٌّ.٢
3 The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ قَدِ ٱضْطَهَدَ نَفْسِي. سَحَقَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي. أَجْلَسَنِي فِي ٱلظُّلُمَاتِ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَوْتَى مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ.٣
4 Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
أَعْيَتْ فِيَّ رُوحِي. تَحَيَّرَ فِي دَاخِلِي قَلْبِي.٤
5 I keep in mind the early days of the past, giving thought to all your acts, even to the work of your hands.
تَذَكَّرْتُ أَيَّامَ ٱلْقِدَمِ. لَهِجْتُ بِكُلِّ أَعْمَالِكَ. بِصَنَائِعِ يَدَيْكَ أَتَأَمَّلُ.٥
6 My hands are stretched out to you: my soul is turned to you, like a land in need of water. (Selah)
بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ، نَفْسِي نَحْوَكَ كَأَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ. سِلَاهْ.٦
7 Be quick in answering me, O Lord, for the strength of my spirit is gone: let me see your face, so that I may not be like those who go down into the underworld.
أَسْرِعْ أَجِبْنِي يَارَبُّ. فَنِيَتْ رُوحِي. لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي، فَأُشْبِهَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ.٧
8 Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.
أَسْمِعْنِي رَحْمَتَكَ فِي ٱلْغَدَاةِ، لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. عَرِّفْنِي ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّتِي أَسْلُكُ فِيهَا، لِأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ نَفْسِي.٨
9 O Lord, take me out of the hands of my haters; my soul is waiting for you.
أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَارَبُّ. إِلَيْكَ ٱلْتَجَأْتُ.٩
10 Give me teaching so that I may do your pleasure; for you are my God: let your good Spirit be my guide into the land of righteousness.
عَلِّمْنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ رِضَاكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي. رُوحُكَ ٱلصَّالِحُ يَهْدِينِي فِي أَرْضٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ.١٠
11 Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.
مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ يَارَبُّ تُحْيِينِي. بِعَدْلِكَ تُخْرِجُ مِنَ ٱلضِّيقِ نَفْسِي،١١
12 And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.
وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ تَسْتَأْصِلُ أَعْدَائِي، وَتُبِيدُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِي نَفْسِي، لِأَنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ.١٢
