< Psalms 141 >

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَارَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ صَرَخْتُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَ مَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ.١
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening oblation.
لِتَسْتَقِمْ صَلَاتِي كَٱلْبَخُورِ قُدَّامَكَ. لِيَكُنْ رَفْعُ يَدَيَّ كَذَبِيحَةٍ مَسَائِيَّةٍ.٢
3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
ٱجْعَلْ يَارَبُّ حَارِسًا لِفَمِي. ٱحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ.٣
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men that are workers of iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties.
لَا تُمِلْ قَلْبِي إِلَى أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ، لِأَتَعَلَّلَ بِعِلَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ مَعَ أُنَاسٍ فَاعِلِي إِثْمٍ، وَلَا آكُلْ مِنْ نَفَائِسِهِمْ.٤
5 Let the righteous smite me, it is kindness; and let him reprove me, it is an excellent oil which my head shall not refuse: for yet my prayer also is [for them] in their calamities.
لِيَضْرِبْنِي ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَرَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَزَيْتٌ لِلرَّأْسِ. لَا يَأْبَى رَأْسِي. لِأَنَّ صَلَاتِي بَعْدُ فِي مَصَائِبِهِمْ.٥
6 When their judges are thrown down from the rocks, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
قَدِ ٱنْطَرَحَ قُضَاتُهُمْ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، وَسَمِعُوا كَلِمَاتِي لِأَنَّهَا لَذِيذَةٌ.٦
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol, as when one cutteth and cleaveth [wood] upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
كَمَنْ يَفْلَحُ وَيَشُقُّ ٱلْأَرْضَ، تَبَدَّدَتْ عِظَامُنَا عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)٧
8 For unto thee, Jehovah, Lord, are mine eyes; in thee do I trust: leave not my soul destitute.
لِأَنَّهُ إِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدُ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَايَ. بِكَ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ. لَا تُفْرِغْ نَفْسِي.٨
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
ٱحْفَظْنِي مِنَ ٱلْفَخِّ ٱلَّذِي قَدْ نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.٩
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal pass over.
لِيَسْقُطِ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي شِبَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ أَنَا بِٱلْكُلِّيَّةِ.١٠
