Psalms 7
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in you have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
| شَجَوِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ، غَنَّاهَا لِلرَّبِّ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ كُوشَ ٱلْبِنْيَامِينِيِّ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْرُدُونَنِي وَنَجِّنِي، | ١ |
2 Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
| لِئَلَّا يَفْتَرِسَ كَأَسَدٍ نَفْسِي هَاشِمًا إِيَّاهَا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ. | ٢ |
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
| يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا. إِنْ وُجِدَ ظُلْمٌ فِي يَدَيَّ. | ٣ |
4 if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
| إِنْ كَافَأْتُ مُسَالِمِي شَرًّا، وَسَلَبْتُ مُضَايِقِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ، | ٤ |
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
| فَلْيُطَارِدْ عَدُوٌّ نَفْسِي وَلْيُدْرِكْهَا، وَلْيَدُسْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي، وَلْيَحُطَّ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ مَجْدِي. سِلَاهْ. | ٥ |
6 Arise, O Lord, in your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
| قُمْ يَارَبُّ بِغَضَبِكَ. ٱرْتَفِعْ عَلَى سَخَطِ مُضَايِقِيَّ وَٱنْتَبِهْ لِي. بِٱلْحَقِّ أَوْصَيْتَ. | ٦ |
7 And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
| وَمَجْمَعُ ٱلْقَبَائِلِ يُحِيطُ بِكَ، فَعُدْ فَوْقَهَا إِلَى ٱلْعُلَى. | ٧ |
8 The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
| ٱلرَّبُّ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ. ٱقْضِ لِي يَارَبُّ كَحَقِّي وَمِثْلَ كَمَالِي ٱلَّذِي فِيَّ. | ٨ |
9 Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins.
| لِيَنْتَهِ شَرُّ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَثَبِّتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ. فَإِنَّ فَاحِصَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ وَٱلْكُلَى ٱللهُ ٱلْبَارُّ. | ٩ |
10 My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
| تُرْسِي عِنْدَ ٱللهِ مُخَلِّصِ مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ. | ١٠ |
11 God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
| ٱللهُ قَاضٍ عَادِلٌ، وَإِلَهٌ يَسْخَطُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. | ١١ |
12 If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
| إِنْ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ يُحَدِّدْ سَيْفَهُ. مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَهَيَّأَهَا، | ١٢ |
13 And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
| وَسَدَّدَ نَحوَهُ آلةَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. يَجْعَلُ سِهَامَهُ مُلْتَهِبَةً. | ١٣ |
14 Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
| هُوَذَا يَمْخَضُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ. حَمَلَ تَعَبًا وَوَلَدَ كَذِبًا. | ١٤ |
15 He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
| كَرَا جُبًّا. حَفَرَهُ، فَسَقَطَ فِي ٱلْهُوَّةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ. | ١٥ |
16 His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
| يَرْجِعُ تَعَبُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَعَلَى هَامَتِهِ يَهْبِطُ ظُلْمُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
| أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. | ١٧ |
