< Psalms 17 >

1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
صَلَاةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَارَبُّ لِلْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَلَاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ بِلَا غِشٍّ.١
2 Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ يَخْرُجُ قَضَائِي. عَيْنَاكَ تَنْظُرَانِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ.٢
3 Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
جَرَّبْتَ قَلْبِي. تَعَهَّدْتَهُ لَيْلًا. مَحَّصْتَنِي. لَا تَجِدُ فِيَّ ذُمُومًا. لَا يَتَعَدَّى فَمِي.٣
4 As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
مِنْ جِهَةِ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبِكَلَامِ شَفَتَيْكَ أَنَا تَحَفَّظْتُ مِنْ طُرُقِ ٱلْمُعْتَنِفِ.٤
5 My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
تَمَسَّكَتْ خُطُوَاتِي بِآثَارِكَ فَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمَايَ.٥
6 As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
أَنَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِي يَا ٱللهُ. أَمِلْ أُذُنَيْكَ إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامِي.٦
7 Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
مَيِّزْ مَرَاحِمَكَ، يَامُخَلِّصَ ٱلْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ، بِيَمِينِكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ.٧
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
ٱحْفَظْنِي مِثْلَ حَدَقَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ. بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ ٱسْتُرْنِي٨
9 From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُخْرِبُونَنِي، أَعْدَائِي بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتَنِفُونَنِي.٩
10 Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
قَلْبَهُمُ ٱلسَّمِينَ قَدْ أَغْلَقُوا. بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ قَدْ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ.١٠
11 At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
فِي خُطُوَاتِنَا ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَحَاطُوا بِنَا. نَصَبُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ لِيُزْلِقُونَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.١١
12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
مَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱلْقَرِمِ إِلَى ٱلِٱفْتِرَاسِ، وَكَٱلشِّبْلِ ٱلْكَامِنِ فِي عِرِّيسِهِ.١٢
13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
قُمْ يَارَبُّ. تَقَدَّمْهُ. اِصْرَعْهُ. نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بِسَيْفِكَ،١٣
14 From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِيَدِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلدُّنْيَا. نَصِيبُهُمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمْ. بِذَخَائِرِكَ تَمْلَأُ بُطُونَهُمْ. يَشْبَعُونَ أَوْلَادًا وَيَتْرُكُونَ فُضَالَتَهُمْ لِأَطْفَالِهِمْ.١٤
15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِشَبَهِكَ.١٥
