< Psalms 64 >

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْتَمِعْ يَا ٱللهُ صَوْتِي فِي شَكْوَايَ. مِنْ خَوْفِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ ٱحْفَظْ حَيَاتِي.١
2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
ٱسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، مِنْ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ،٢
3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
ٱلَّذِينَ صَقَلُوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَٱلسَّيْفِ. فَوَّقُوا سَهْمَهُمْ كَلَامًا مُرًّا،٣
4 To shoot in secret the undefiled.
لِيَرْمُوا ٱلْكَامِلَ فِي ٱلْمُخْتَفَى بَغْتَةً. يَرْمُونَهُ وَلَا يَخْشَوْنَ.٤
5 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?
يُشَدِّدُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِأَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ. يَتَحَادَثُونَ بِطَمْرِ فِخَاخٍ. قَالُوا: «مَنْ يَرَاهُمْ؟».٥
6 They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
يَخْتَرِعُونَ إِثْمًا، تَمَّمُوا ٱخْتِرَاعًا مُحْكَمًا. وَدَاخِلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ وَقَلْبُهُ عَمِيقٌ.٦
7 And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
فَيَرْمِيهِمِ ٱللهُ بِسَهْمٍ. بَغْتَةً كَانَتْ ضَرْبَتُهُمْ.٧
8 And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
وَيُوقِعُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ. يُنْغِضُ ٱلرَّأْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ.٨
9 And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
وَيَخْشَى كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ، وَيُخْبِرُ بِفِعْلِ ٱللهِ، وَبِعَمَلِهِ يَفْطَنُونَ.٩
10 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
يَفْرَحُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ كُلُّ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.١٠
