< Psalms 59 >

1 For the end. Destroy not: by David for a memorial, when Saul sent, and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God; and ransom me from those that rise up against me.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – عَلَى لَا تُهْلِكْ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلاً يُرَاقِبُونَ بَيْتَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، وَاحْمِنِي مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ.١
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
نَجِّنِي مِنْ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ سَافِكِي الدِّمَاءِ.٢
3 For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; violent men have set upon me: neither [is it] my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.
قَدْ نَصَبُوا كَمِيناً لِنَفْسِي. اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوِيَاءُ، لَا بِسَبَبِ مَعْصِيَتِي وَلَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِي يَا رَبُّ.٣
4 Without iniquity I ran and directed [my course aright]: awake to help me, and behold.
يُسْرِعُونَ مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ إِثْماً. فَانْهَضْ لإِغَاثَتِي وَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي.٤
5 And you, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, draw near to visit all the heathen; pity not any that work iniquity. (Pause)
وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ وَإِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اسْتَيْقِظْ وَحَاسِبِ الأُمَمَ حِسَاباً عَسِيراً وَلَا تَتَرَأَّفْ بِالْغَادِرِ الأَثِيمِ٥
6 They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.
يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ، يَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ.٦
7 Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips; for who, [say they], has heard?
تَفِيضُ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ سُوءاً. (أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ) كَسُيُوفٍ حَادَّةٍ بَيْنَ شِفَاهِهِمْ، قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَسْمَعُنَا؟»٧
8 But you, Lord, will laugh them to scorn; you will utterly set at nothing all the heathen.
لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَضْحَكُ مِنْهُمْ. تَسْتَهْزِئُ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.٨
9 will keep my strength, [looking] to you; for you, O God, are my helper.
يَا قُوَّتِي إِيَّاكَ أَتَرَجَّى، لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ.٩
10 [As for] my God, his mercy shall go before me: my God will show me [vengeance] on mine enemies.
إِلَهِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ يُوَافِينِي. وَيُرِينِي هَزِيمَةَ أَعْدَائِي.١٠
11 Slay them not, lest they forget your law; scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord, my defender.
لَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّمَا اجْعَلْهُمْ عِبْرَةً لِئَلّا يَنْسَى شَعْبِي، بَلْ بَدِّدْهُمْ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَاطْرَحْهُمْ أَرْضاً أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ حَامِينَا،١١
12 [For] the sin of their mouth, [and] the word of their lips, let them be even taken in their pride.
جَزَاءَ خَطِيئَةِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَكَلامِ شِفَاهِهِمْ. لِيَسْقُطُوا فِي فَخِّ كِبْرِيَائِهِمْ لِقَاءَ مَا يَنْطِقُونَ بِهِ مِنَ اللَّعْنَاتِ وَالْكَذِبِ.١٢
13 And for [their] cursing and falsehood shall utter destruction be denounced: [they shall fall] by the wrath of utter destruction, and shall not be; so shall they know that the God of Jacob is Lord of the ends of the earth. (Pause)
أَفْنِهِمْ فِي غَضَبِكَ وَاسْتَأْصِلْهُمْ فَتُدْرِكَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَنَّ اللهَ يَسُودُ عَلَى بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ.١٣
14 They shall return at evening, and be hungry as a dog, and go round about the city.
يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ وَيَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ.١٤
15 They shall be scattered hither and there for meat; and if they be not satisfied, they shall even murmur.
يَهِيمُونَ مُتَشَرِّدِينَ طَلَباً لِلطَّعَامِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْبَعُوا يُدَمْدِمُونَ.١٥
16 But I will sing to your strength, and in the morning will I exult [in] your mercy; for you have been my supporter, and my refuge in the day of mine affliction.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَرَنَّمُ بِقُوَّتِكَ. أَتَهَلَّلُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ لِرَحْمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ لِي حِصْناً مَنِيعاً وَمَلْجَأً فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي.١٦
17 [You are] my helper; to you, my God, will I sing; you are my supporter, O my God, [and] my mercy.
لَكَ أُسَبِّحُ يَا قُوَّتِي لأَنَّ اللهَ مَلْجَإِي. إِلَهُ رَحْمَتِي.١٧
