< Psalms 141 >

1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَارَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ صَرَخْتُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَ مَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ.١
2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
لِتَسْتَقِمْ صَلَاتِي كَٱلْبَخُورِ قُدَّامَكَ. لِيَكُنْ رَفْعُ يَدَيَّ كَذَبِيحَةٍ مَسَائِيَّةٍ.٢
3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
ٱجْعَلْ يَارَبُّ حَارِسًا لِفَمِي. ٱحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ.٣
4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
لَا تُمِلْ قَلْبِي إِلَى أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ، لِأَتَعَلَّلَ بِعِلَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ مَعَ أُنَاسٍ فَاعِلِي إِثْمٍ، وَلَا آكُلْ مِنْ نَفَائِسِهِمْ.٤
5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
لِيَضْرِبْنِي ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَرَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَزَيْتٌ لِلرَّأْسِ. لَا يَأْبَى رَأْسِي. لِأَنَّ صَلَاتِي بَعْدُ فِي مَصَائِبِهِمْ.٥
6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
قَدِ ٱنْطَرَحَ قُضَاتُهُمْ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، وَسَمِعُوا كَلِمَاتِي لِأَنَّهَا لَذِيذَةٌ.٦
7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
كَمَنْ يَفْلَحُ وَيَشُقُّ ٱلْأَرْضَ، تَبَدَّدَتْ عِظَامُنَا عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)٧
8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
لِأَنَّهُ إِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدُ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَايَ. بِكَ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ. لَا تُفْرِغْ نَفْسِي.٨
9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
ٱحْفَظْنِي مِنَ ٱلْفَخِّ ٱلَّذِي قَدْ نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.٩
10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
لِيَسْقُطِ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي شِبَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ أَنَا بِٱلْكُلِّيَّةِ.١٠
