Psalms 55
1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الآلاتِ الْوَتَرِيَّةِ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ أَصْغِ يَا اللهُ إِلَى صَلاتِي، وَلَا تَتَغَافَلْ عَنْ تَضَرُّعِي. | ١ |
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
| اسْتَمِعْ لِي وَاسْتَجِبْ، لأَنِّي حَائِرٌ وَمُضْطَرِبٌ فِي كُرْبَتِي، | ٢ |
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
| مِنْ تَهْدِيدَاتِ الأَعْدَاءِ وَجَوْرِ الشِّرِّيرِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَجْلِبُونَ عَلَيَّ الْمَتَاعِبَ، وَبِغَضَبٍ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي. | ٣ |
4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
| قَلْبِي يَتَوَجَّعُ فِي دَاخِلِي، وَأَهْوَالُ الْمَوْتِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. | ٤ |
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
| اعْتَرَانِي الْخَوْفُ وَالارْتِعَادُ، وَطَغَى عَلَيَّ الرُّعْبُ. | ٥ |
6 I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
| فَقُلْتُ: «لَيْتَ لِي جَنَاحاً كَالْحَمَامَةِ فَأَطِيرَ وَأَسْتَرِيحَ. | ٦ |
7 Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
| كُنْتُ أَشْرُدُ هَارِباً وَأبِيتُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٧ |
8 "I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
| كُنْتُ أُسْرِعُ لِلنَّجَاةِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْعَاصِفَةِ، وَمِنَ نَوْءِ الْبَحْرِ». | ٨ |
9 Confuse them, LORD, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
| بَلْبِلْ أَلْسِنَةَ (أَعْدَائِي) يَا رَبُّ وَأَبْكِمْهُمْ، فَإِنِّي أَرَى فِي الْمَدِينَةِ عُنْفاً وَعُدْوَاناً، | ٩ |
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
| يُحْدِقَانِ بِأَسْوَارِهَا نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً، وَفِي وَسَطِهَا الإِثْمُ وَالأَذَى. | ١٠ |
11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.
| الْمَفَاسِدُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَالظُّلْمُ وَالْغِشُّ لَا يُفَارقَانِ سَاحَاتِهَا. | ١١ |
12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
| لَوْ كَانَ عَدُوِّي هُوَ الَّذَي يُعَيِّرُنِي لَكُنْتُ أَحْتَمِلُ. وَلَوْ كَانَ مَنْ يُبْغِضُنِي هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَجَبَّرُ عَلَيَّ لَكُنْتُ أَخْتَبِئُ مِنْهُ. | ١٢ |
13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
| وَلَكِنَّكَ عَدِيلِي، وَإِلْفِي وَصَدِيقِي الْحَمِيمُ، | ١٣ |
14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
| الَّذِي كَانَتْ لَنَا عِشْرَةٌ مَعَهُ، وَكُنَّا نَتَرَافَقُ فِي الْحُضُورِ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ مَعَ جُمْهُورِ الْعَابِدِينَ. | ١٤ |
15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
| لِيُفَاجِئِ الْمَوْتُ أَعْدَائِي فَيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ أَحْيَاءَ، لأَنَّ الشَّرَّ جَاثِمٌ فِي وَسَطِ مَسَاكِنِهِمْ. (Sheol h7585) | ١٥ |
16 As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالرَّبِّ أَسْتَغِيثُ وَالرَّبُّ يُخَلِّصُنِي. | ١٦ |
17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
| مَسَاءً وَصَبَاحاً وَظُهْراً أَشْكُو لَهُ صَارِخاً وَنَائِحاً، فَيَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي. | ١٧ |
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
| يُخَلِّصُ نَفْسِي بِسَلامٍ مِنَ الْمَعَارِكِ النَّاشِبَةِ حَوْلِي إِذْ إِنَّ الْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ كَثِيرُونَ. | ١٨ |
19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
| حَقّاً إنَّ اللهَ الْجَالِسَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ يَسْمَعُ لِي فَيُذِلُّ أَعْدَائِي، الَّذِينَ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُونَ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ اللهَ. | ١٩ |
20 He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated his covenant.
| (رَفِيقِي الْقَدِيمُ) هَاجَمَ أَصْحَابَهُ الْمُسَالِمِينَ وَنَقَضَ عَهْدَهُ مَعَهُمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
| كَانَ كَلامُهُ أَنْعَمَ مِنَ الزُّبْدَةِ، وَفِي قَلْبِهِ يُضْمِرُ الْقِتَالَ. كَلِمَاتُهُ أَلْيَنُ مِنَ الزَّيْتِ، وَلَكِنَّهَا سُيُوفٌ مَسْلُولَةٌ. | ٢١ |
22 Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
| أَلْقِ عَلَى الرَّبِّ هَمَّكَ وَهُوَ يَعْتَنِي بِكَ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَدَعُ الصِّدِّيقَ يَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٢٢ |
23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا اللهُ تَطْرَحُ الأَشْرَارَ إِلَى هُوَّةِ الْهَلاكِ وَتُقَصِّرُ أَعْمَارَ سَافِكِي الدِّمَاءِ وَالْغَشَّاشِينَ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٢٣ |
