Psalms 71
1 Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't disappoint me.
| يَا رَبُّ بِكَ احْتَمَيْتُ فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١ |
2 Save me, rescue me, because you always do what is right.
| أَنْقِذْنِي وَفْقاً لِعَدْلِكَ وَنَجِّنِي. أَرْهِفْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي. | ٢ |
3 Please listen to me, and save me. Be my rock of protection where I can always go and hide. You gave the command to save me; for you are my rock and fortress.
| كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَأٍ أَلُوذُ بِها دَائِماً. أَنْتَ أَمَرْتَ بِخَلاصِي لأَنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي. | ٣ |
4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of those who are evil and brutal.
| يَا إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ يَدِ الشِّرِّيرِ، مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَثِيمِ وَالظَّالِمِ. | ٤ |
5 For you, Lord God, are my hope. You are the one I have trusted since I was young.
| فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، وَمَوْضِعُ ثِقَتِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ. | ٥ |
6 I have depended on you since birth; you have taken care of me from my mother's womb. That's why I'm always praising you!
| عَلَيْكَ اعْتَمَدْتُ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِي، وَمِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي أَخْرَجْتَنِي، فَإِيَّاكَ أُسَبِّحُ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. | ٦ |
7 My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.
| صِرْتُ مَثَارَ اسْتِهْجَانٍ عِنْدَ كَثِيرِينَ، لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي الْقَوِيُّ. | ٧ |
8 All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!
| لِيَمْتَلِئْ فَمِي مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ وَمِنْ تَمْجِيدِكَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٨ |
9 Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.
| لَا تَنْبِذْنِي فِي شَيْخُوخَتِي، وَلَا تَخْذِلْنِي عِنْدَ اضْمِحْلالِ قُوَّتِي. | ٩ |
10 For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.
| لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيَّ وَالْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ بِي يَتَآمَرُونَ مَعاً. | ١٠ |
11 They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”
| قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ تَرَكَهُ اللهُ، فَطَارِدُوهُ وَاقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ لأَنَّهُ لَا مُنْقِذَ لَهُ». | ١١ |
12 God, please don't stay away from me. My God, hurry to help me!
| لَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي يَا اللهُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَا إِلَهِي. | ١٢ |
13 Defeat my accusers, get rid of them! May those who want to cause me trouble be covered with shame and disgrace!
| لِيَخْزَ وَيَبِدْ خُصُومُ نَفْسِي. لِيَكْتَسِ الْعَارَ وَالْهَوَانَ الْمُلْتَمِسُونَ أَذِيَّتِي. | ١٣ |
14 As for me, I will go on hoping in you, and I will praise you more and more.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِيَّاكَ أَرْجُو دَائِماً، وَأُكْثِرُ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ. | ١٤ |
15 I will talk about your goodness and your salvation every day, even though it's more than I can understand.
| أُخْبِرُ بِبِرِّكَ وَخَلاصِكَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَإِنْ كَانَا يَفُوقَانِ إِدْرَاكِي. | ١٥ |
16 I will come and explain what the Lord has done. I will remind people that you alone do what is right.
| أَجِيءُ (مُؤَيَّداً) بِقُوَّةِ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ، لأَذْكُرَ بِرَّكَ وَحْدَكَ. | ١٦ |
17 God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still tell others about all the wonderful things you do.
| قَدْ عَلَّمْتَنِي يَا اللهُ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، فَلَمْ أَكُفَّ لَحْظَةً عَنْ إِعْلانِ عَجَائِبِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 Even though I'm old and gray, please don't abandon me, God. Let me tell the new generation about your power. Let me explain to all who are to come the great things you do.
| لَا تَتْرُكْنِي فِي الشَّيْخُوخَةِ وَالشَّيْبِ يَا اللهُ، حَتَّى أُخْبِرَ هَذَا الْجِيلَ بِأَعْمَالِ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ (الْجِيلَ) الآتِي. | ١٨ |
19 God, your trustworthy and true nature is higher than the highest heaven! You have done incredible things! God, who is like you?
| بِرُّكَ مُتَعَالٍ يَا اللهُ، وَأَعْمَالُكَ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَ عَظِيمَةٌ، فَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ يَا اللهُ! | ١٩ |
20 You had me face many troubles and plenty of misery, but you will bring me back to life; you will rise me up from the depths of the earth.
| أَنْتَ الَّذِي اجْتَزْتَ بِنَا ضِيقَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً وَقَاسِيَةً، وَلَكِنَّكَ تَعُودُ فَتُحْيِينَا، وَتُصْعِدُنَا مِنْ جَدِيدٍ مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ. | ٢٠ |
21 You will give me even greater prestige, and you will make me happy again.
| تَزِيدُنِي شَرَفاً وَتُطَوِّقُنِي بِتَعْزِيَتِكَ. | ٢١ |
22 Then I will praise you on the harp for your trustworthiness, my God. I will sing praises to you on the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
| سَأَحْمَدُكَ وَأُشِيدُ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى الرَّبَابِ يَا إِلَهِي. أَشْدُو لَكَ عَلَى الْعُودِ يَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢٢ |
23 I will shout for joy as I sing praises to you, for you have redeemed me.
| تَبْتَهِجُ شَفَتَايَ عِنْدَمَا أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ، وَكَذَلِكَ نَفْسِي الَّتِي فَدَيْتَهَا. | ٢٣ |
24 All day long I will tell about all the good things you have done, for those who tried to cause me misery have been disgraced and humiliated.
| وَيَلْهَجُ لِسَانِي بِبِرِّكَ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لأَنَّ السَّاعِينَ إِلَى أَذِيَّتِي يَحِلُّ حَتْماً بِهِمِ الْخِزْيُ وَالْعَارُ. | ٢٤ |
