Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:
| لِدَاوُدَ خَاصِمْ يَارَبُّ مُخَاصِمِيَّ. قَاتِلْ مُقَاتِلِيَّ. | ١ |
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;
| أَمْسِكْ مِجَنًّا وَتُرْسًا وَٱنْهَضْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي، | ٢ |
3 And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
| وَأَشْرِعْ رُمْحًا وَصُدَّ تِلْقَاءَ مُطَارِدِيَّ. قُلْ لِنَفْسِي: «خَلَاصُكِ أَنَا». | ٣ |
4 Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:
| لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي. لِيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ وَيَخْجَلِ ٱلْمُتَفَكِّرُونَ بِإِسَاءَتِي. | ٤ |
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;
| لِيَكُونُوا مِثْلَ ٱلْعُصَافَةِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاحِرُهُمْ. | ٥ |
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.
| لِيَكُنْ طَرِيقُهُمْ ظَلَامًا وَزَلَقًا، وَمَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَارِدُهُمْ. | ٦ |
7 For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul.
| لِأَنَّهُمْ بِلَا سَبَبٍ أَخْفَوْا لِي هُوَّةَ شَبَكَتِهِمْ. بِلَا سَبَبٍحَفَرُوا لِنَفْسِي. | ٧ |
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.
| لِتَأْتِهِ ٱلتَّهْلُكَةُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ، وَلْتَنْشَبْ بِهِ ٱلشَّبَكَةُ ٱلَّتِي أَخْفَاهَا، وَفِي ٱلتَّهْلُكَةِ نَفْسِهَا لِيَقَعْ. | ٨ |
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.
| أَمَّا نَفْسِي فَتَفْرَحُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَتَبْتَهِجُ بِخَلَاصِهِ. | ٩ |
10 All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!
| جَمِيعُ عِظَامِي تَقُولُ: «يَارَبُّ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ ٱلْمُنْقِذُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ، وَٱلْفَقِيرَ وَٱلْبَائِسَ مِنْ سَالِبِهِ؟». | ١٠ |
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
| شُهُودُ زُورٍ يَقُومُونَ، وَعَمَّا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ يَسْأَلُونَنِي. | ١١ |
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of my soul.
| يُجَازُونَنِي عَنِ ٱلْخَيْرِ شَرًّا، ثَكَلًا لِنَفْسِي. | ١٢ |
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَفِي مَرَضِهِمْ كَانَ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا. أَذْلَلْتُ بِٱلصَّوْمِ نَفْسِي، وَصَلَاتِي إِلَى حِضْنِي تَرْجِعُ. | ١٣ |
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] a friend, a brother to me; I bowed down in sadness, as one that mourneth [for] a mother.
| كَأَنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ، كَأَنَّهُ أَخِي كُنْتُ أَتَمَشَّى. كَمَنْ يَنُوحُ عَلَى أُمِّهِ ٱنْحَنَيْتُ حَزِينًا. | ١٤ |
15 But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
| وَلَكِنَّهُمْ فِي ظَلْعِي فَرِحُوا وَٱجْتَمَعُوا. ٱجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيَّ شَاتِمِينَ وَلَمْ أَعْلَمْ. مَزَّقُوا وَلَمْ يَكُفُّوا. | ١٥ |
16 With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.
| بَيْنَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ ٱلْمُجَّانِ لِأَجْلِ كَعْكَةٍ حَرَّقُوا عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُمْ. | ١٦ |
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.
| يَارَبُّ، إِلَى مَتَى تَنْظُرُ؟ ٱسْتَرِدَّ نَفْسِي مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ، وَحِيدَتِي مِنَ ٱلْأَشْبَالِ. | ١٧ |
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.
| أَحْمَدُكَ فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ. فِي شَعْبٍ عَظِيمٍ أُسَبِّحُكَ. | ١٨ |
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.
| لَا يَشْمَتْ بِي ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي بَاطِلًا، وَلَا يَتَغَامَزْ بِٱلْعَيْنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ١٩ |
20 For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.
| لِأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلسَّلَامِ، وَعَلَى ٱلْهَادِئِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ بِكَلَامِ مَكْرٍ. | ٢٠ |
21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen [it].
| فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ. قَالُوا: «هَهْ! هَهْ!قَدْ رَأَتْ أَعْيُنُنَا». | ٢١ |
22 Thou hast seen [it], Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
| قَدْ رَأَيْتَ يَارَبُّ، لَا تَسْكُتْ. يَا سَيِّدُ، لَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي. | ٢٢ |
23 Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!
| ٱسْتَيْقِظْ وَٱنْتَبِهْ إِلَى حُكْمِي، يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي إِلَى دَعْوَايَ. | ٢٣ |
24 Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.
| ٱقْضِ لِي حَسَبَ عَدْلِكَ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، فَلَا يَشْمَتُوا بِي. | ٢٤ |
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
| لَا يَقُولُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: «هَهْ! شَهْوَتُنَا». لَا يَقُولُوا: «قَدِ ٱبْتَلَعْنَاهُ!». | ٢٥ |
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
| لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعًا ٱلْفَرِحُونَ بِمُصِيبَتِي. لِيَلْبِسِ ٱلْخِزْيَ وَٱلْخَجَلَ ٱلْمُتَعَظِّمُونَ عَلَيَّ. | ٢٦ |
27 Let them exult and rejoice that delight in my righteousness; and let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant.
| لِيَهْتِفْ وَيَفْرَحِ ٱلْمُبْتَغُونَ حَقِّي، وَلْيَقُولُوا دَائِمًا: «لِيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْمَسْرُورُ بِسَلَامَةِ عَبْدِهِ». | ٢٧ |
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise, all the day.
| وَلِسَانِي يَلْهَجُ بِعَدْلِكَ. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ بِحَمْدِكَ. | ٢٨ |
