< Psalms 7 >

1 Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;
شَجَوِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ، غَنَّاهَا لِلرَّبِّ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ كُوشَ ٱلْبِنْيَامِينِيِّ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْرُدُونَنِي وَنَجِّنِي،١
2 So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.
لِئَلَّا يَفْتَرِسَ كَأَسَدٍ نَفْسِي هَاشِمًا إِيَّاهَا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ.٢
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;
يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا. إِنْ وُجِدَ ظُلْمٌ فِي يَدَيَّ.٣
4 If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;
إِنْ كَافَأْتُ مُسَالِمِي شَرًّا، وَسَلَبْتُ مُضَايِقِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ،٤
5 Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah)
فَلْيُطَارِدْ عَدُوٌّ نَفْسِي وَلْيُدْرِكْهَا، وَلْيَدُسْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي، وَلْيَحُطَّ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ مَجْدِي. سِلَاهْ.٥
6 Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.
قُمْ يَارَبُّ بِغَضَبِكَ. ٱرْتَفِعْ عَلَى سَخَطِ مُضَايِقِيَّ وَٱنْتَبِهْ لِي. بِٱلْحَقِّ أَوْصَيْتَ.٦
7 The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.
وَمَجْمَعُ ٱلْقَبَائِلِ يُحِيطُ بِكَ، فَعُدْ فَوْقَهَا إِلَى ٱلْعُلَى.٧
8 The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.
ٱلرَّبُّ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ. ٱقْضِ لِي يَارَبُّ كَحَقِّي وَمِثْلَ كَمَالِي ٱلَّذِي فِيَّ.٨
9 O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.
لِيَنْتَهِ شَرُّ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَثَبِّتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ. فَإِنَّ فَاحِصَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ وَٱلْكُلَى ٱللهُ ٱلْبَارُّ.٩
10 God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.
تُرْسِي عِنْدَ ٱللهِ مُخَلِّصِ مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.١٠
11 God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.
ٱللهُ قَاضٍ عَادِلٌ، وَإِلَهٌ يَسْخَطُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.١١
12 If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.
إِنْ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ يُحَدِّدْ سَيْفَهُ. مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَهَيَّأَهَا،١٢
13 He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.
وَسَدَّدَ نَحوَهُ آلةَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. يَجْعَلُ سِهَامَهُ مُلْتَهِبَةً.١٣
14 That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.
هُوَذَا يَمْخَضُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ. حَمَلَ تَعَبًا وَوَلَدَ كَذِبًا.١٤
15 He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made
كَرَا جُبًّا. حَفَرَهُ، فَسَقَطَ فِي ٱلْهُوَّةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ.١٥
16 His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.
يَرْجِعُ تَعَبُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَعَلَى هَامَتِهِ يَهْبِطُ ظُلْمُهُ.١٦
17 I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.
أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.١٧
