Psalms 69

1 To the Chief Musician. On "The Lilies." David’s. Save me, O God, For waters have entered as far as the life;

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوْسَنِّ». لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ إِلَى نَفْسِي.

2 I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;

٢ غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ عَمِيقَةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَقَرٌّ. دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلسَّيْلُ غَمَرَنِي.

3 I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat, —Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God.

٣ تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. يَبِسَ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنِ ٱنْتِظَارِ إِلَهِي.

4 More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause, —Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause, —What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore.

٤ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٱعْتَزَّ مُسْتَهْلِكِيَّ أَعْدَائِي ظُلْمًا. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أَخْطَفْهُ.

5 O God, thou, hast known my folly, And, my wrong-doings, from thee, have not been hid.

٥ يَا ٱللهُ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ حَمَاقَتِي، وَذُنُوبِي عَنْكَ لَمْ تَخْفَ.

6 Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, —Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel!

٦ لَا يَخْزَ بِي مُنْتَظِرُوكَ يَا سَيِّدُ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لَا يَخْجَلْ بِي مُلْتَمِسُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

7 Because, for thy sake, have I borne reproach, Confusion hath covered my face;

٧ لِأَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُ ٱلْعَارَ. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.

8 One estranged, have I become, to my own brethren, Yea, an alien, to the sons of my own mother;

٨ صِرْتُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِي، وَغَرِيبًا عِنْدَ بَنِي أُمِّي.

9 Because, zeal for thy house, hath eaten me up, And, the reproaches of them who have reproached thee, have fallen upon me.

٩ لِأَنَّ غَيْرَةَ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي، وَتَعْيِيرَاتِ مُعَيِّرِيكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.

10 When I have humbled my soul with fasting, Then hath it turned to my reproach;

١٠ وَأَبْكَيْتُ بِصَوْمٍ نَفْسِي، فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَيَّ.

11 When I have made my clothing of sackcloth, Then have I served them for a by-word;

١١ جَعَلْتُ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا، وَصِرْتُ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا.

12 They who sit in the gate talk against me, —And [against me are] the songs of them who imbibe strong drink.

١٢ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيَّ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، وَأَغَانِيُّ شَرَّابِي ٱلْمُسْكِرِ.

13 But, as for me, my prayer shall be unto thee, O Yahweh, in a time of acceptance, O God, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, answer me with thy saving faithfulness.

١٣ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا ٱللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلَاصِكَ.

14 Rescue me out of the mire, lest I sink, Let me be rescued, From my haters, and, From abysses of waters:

١٤ نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

15 Let not a flood of waters overflow me, And let not the depth swallow me up, Neither let the well close, over me, her mouth.

١٥ لَا يَغْمُرَنِّي سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي ٱلْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عَلَيَّ فَاهَا.

16 Answer me, O Yahweh, for good is thy lovingkindness, According to the abounding of thy compassions, turn thou towards me:

١٦ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. كَكَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

17 Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou—answer me!

١٧ وَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ضِيْقًا. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

18 Oh draw near unto my soul—redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me.

١٨ ٱقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. فُكَّهَا. بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي ٱفْدِنِي.

19 Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries.

١٩ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَخَجَلِي. قُدَّامَكَ جَمِيعُ مُضَايِقِيَّ.

20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak, —Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.

٢٠ ٱلْعَارُ قَدْ كَسَرَ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. ٱنْتَظَرْتُ رِقَّةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

21 But they put in my food—poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink—vinegar!

٢١ وَيَجْعَلُونَ فِي طَعَامِي عَلْقَمًا، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلًّا.

22 Let their table, before them, become a snare, And unto their friends, a lure;

٢٢ لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ قُدَّامَهُمْ فَخًّا، وَلِلْآمِنِينَ شَرَكًا.

23 Let their eyes become too dim to see, And, their loins, continually cause thou to shake;

٢٣ لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْبَصَرِ، وَقَلْقِلْ مُتُونَهُمْ دَائِمًا.

24 Pour out over them thine indignation, And let, the glow of thine anger, overtake them:

٢٤ صُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطَكَ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِكَ.

25 Let their encampment become desolate, In their tents, be there none to dwell:

٢٥ لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَفِي خِيَامِهِمْ لَا يَكُنْ سَاكِنٌ.

26 For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.

٢٦ لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبْتَهُ أَنْتَ هُمْ طَرَدُوهُ، وَبِوَجَعِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ.

27 Lay punishment on their iniquity, And let them not enter into thy righteousness;

٢٧ اِجْعَلْ إِثْمًا عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا فِي بِرِّكَ.

28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And, with the righteous, let them not be enrolled.

٢٨ لِيُمْحَوْا مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ لَا يُكْتَبُوا.

29 I, then, am humbled and in pain, Thy salvation, O God, may it set me on high.

٢٩ أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَكَئِيبٌ. خَلَاصُكَ يَا ٱللهُ فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي.

30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving;

٣٠ أُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ بِتَسْبِيحٍ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.

31 So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn [and] divided hoof.

٣١ فَيُسْتَطَابُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَوْرِ بَقَرٍ ذِي قُرُونٍ وَأَظْلَافٍ.

32 The humbled have seen—they rejoice! Ye seekers of God, let your heart, then, revive;

٣٢ يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي ٱللهِ.

33 For, a Hearkener to the needy, is Yahweh, And, his prisoners, hath he not despised.

٣٣ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَامِعٌ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ أَسْرَاهُ.

34 Let the heavens and the earth, praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein.

٣٤ تُسَبِّحُهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ، ٱلْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ فِيهَا.

35 For, God, will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, So shall men dwell there, and possess it:

٣٥ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ هُنَاكَ وَيَرِثُونَهَا.

36 Yea, the seed of his servants, shall inherit it, And, the lovers of his Name, shall settle down therein.

٣٦ وَنَسْلُ عَبِيدِهِ يَمْلِكُونَهَا، وَمُحِبُّو ٱسْمِهِ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.
