Psalms 56

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْحَمَامَةِ الْبَكْمَاءِ فِي الأَمْاكِنِ الْبَعِيدَةِ. قَصِيدَةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي جَتَّ ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَجِدُّ فِي مُطَارَدَتِي لاِفْتِرَاسِي. يُحَارِبُنِي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ وَيُضَايِقُنِي.

2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

٢ يَتَرَبَّصُ بِي أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ لاِبْتِلاعِي، وَمَا أَكْثَرَ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءِ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ.

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

٣ فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ.

4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

٤ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي أَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى كَلامِهِ، فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟

5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

٥ يُحَرِّفُ أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ كَلامِي. كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ تَتَآمَرُ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَيَّ.

6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.

٦ يَتَجَمَّعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَكْمُنُونَ لِي. يَتَرَصَّدُونَ خُطْوَاتِي وَيَبْتَغُونَ نَفْسِي.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

٧ عَاقِبْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى إِثْمِهِمْ. أَخْضِعْ بِغَضَبِكَ الشُّعُوبَ يَا اللهُ.

8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?

٨ أَنْتَ رَاقَبْتَ تَشَرُّدِي. فَاحْفَظْ دُمُوعِي فِي خَزَانَتِكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي كِتَابِكَ؟

9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.

٩ عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوكَ يَتَقَهْقَرُ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. وَهَذَا مَا تَيَقَّنْتُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ اللهَ مَعِي.

10 In God, I will praise his word. In Jehovah, I will praise his word.

١٠ أَحْمَدُ اللهَ عَلَى كَلامِهِ. أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ عَلَى كَلامِهِ.

11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

١١ عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الإِنْسَانُ؟

12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

١٢ يَا رَبُّ إِنِّي أُوْفِي مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ نُذُورٍ، وَأُقَرِّبُ لَكَ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ.

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

١٣ لأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَحَفِظْتَ رِجْلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الْحَيَاةِ.
