< Psalms 64 >

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا اللهُ اسْمَعْ صَوْتِي حِينَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ أَمْرِي، وَاحْفَظْ حَيَاتِي مِنْ رَهْبَةِ عَدُوِّي.١
2 Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.
اسْتُرْنِي مِنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَمِنْ هِيَاجِ جُمْهُورِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ،٢
3 Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.
الَّذِينَ سَنُّوا أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ كَالسَّيْفِ، وَصَوَّبُوا سِهَامَ كَلامِهِمِ الْمُرِّ،٣
4 To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.
لِيَرْمُوا الْبَرِيءَ مِنْ مَكَامِنِهِمْ. يَرْمُونَهُ فَجْأَةً وَمِنْ غَيْرِ رَادِعٍ.٤
5 They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?
يُشَدِّدُونَ عَزَائِمَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ شِرِّيرٍ، وَيَكِيدُونَ لِنَصْبِ الْفِخَاخِ خُفْيَةً، قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَرَانَا؟»٥
6 They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.
يُدَبِّرُونَ الْمَكَائِدَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ: «نَحْنُ عَلَى أُهْبَةِ الاسْتِعْدَادِ فَقَدْ أَحْكَمْنَا الْخُطَّةَ». فَمَا أَعْمَقَ مَا يُضْمِرُهُ قَلْبُ الإِنْسَانِ مِنْ أَفْكَارٍ!٦
7 But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.
لَكِنَّ اللهَ يُطْلِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَهْماً فَيُصَابُونَ فَجْأَةً بِجِرَاحٍ.٧
8 They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.
كَلِمَاتُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ تَرْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَرَاهُمْ يَهُزُّ رَأْسَهُ احْتِقَاراً،٨
9 And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.
فَيَخَافُ جَمِيعُ الْبَشَرِ وَيُذِيعُونَ مَا فَعَلَهُ اللهُ، مُعْتَبِرِينَ بِصَنَائِعِهِ.٩
10 But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.
يَفْرَحُ الْبَارُّ بِالرَّبِّ وَيَحْتَمِي بِهِ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ جَمِيعُ أَصْحَابِ الْقُلُوبِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ.١٠
