< Psalms 141 >

1 Lord, I cry to you: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to you.
مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ دَعَوْتُ، فَأَسْرِعْ لإِغَاثَتِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَمَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ.١
2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
لِتَكُنْ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ كَالْبَخُورِ، وَرَفْعُ يَدَيَّ مِثْلَ تَقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَاءِ.٢
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
أَقِمْ يَا رَبُّ حَارِساً لِفَمِي، وَاحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ.٣
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
لَا تَدَعْ قَلْبِي يَتَعَلَّقُ بِشَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ، فَيُمَارِسَ أَعْمَالَ الشَّرِّ مَعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. وَلَا تَدَعْنِي آكُلُ مِنْ أَطَايِبِهِمْ.٤
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
لِيَضْرِبْنِي الصِّدِّيقُ فَذَلِكَ رَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَذَلِكَ زَيْتٌ عَاطِرٌ لِرَأْسِي. أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي دَائِماً (كَي تَحْفَظَنِي مِنْ أَفْعَالِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ).٥
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
عِنْدَمَا يُلْقَى بِقُضَاتِهِمِ الظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، آنَئِذٍ يَسْمَعُونَ لِكَلِمَاتِي إِذْ يُوْقِنُونَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ.٦
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cuts and splits wood on the earth. (Sheol h7585)
تَتَنَاثَرُ عِظَامُهُمْ عِنْدَ فَمِ الْقَبْرِ كَشَظَايَا الْحَطَبِ الْمُشَقَّقَةِ الْمُبَعْثَرَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. (Sheol h7585)٧
8 But my eyes are to you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
لَكِنَّ نَحْوَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ، وَبِكَ لُذْتُ، فَلَا تَتْرُكْ نَفْسِي عُرْضَةً لِلْمَوْتِ.٨
9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الْفَخِّ الَّذِي نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ.٩
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I with escape.
لِيَسْقُطِ الأَشْرَارُ فِي أَشْرَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ تَمَامَ النَّجَاةِ.١٠
