Psalms 27
1 Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.
| لِدَاوُدَ اَلرَّبُّ نُورِي وَخَلَاصِي، مِمَّنْ أَخَافُ؟ ٱلرَّبُّ حِصْنُ حَيَاتِي، مِمَّنْ أَرْتَعِبُ؟ | ١ |
2 When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.
| عِنْدَ مَا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَيَّ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ لِيَأْكُلُوا لَحْمِي، مُضَايِقِيَّ وَأَعْدَائِي عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا. | ٢ |
3 [Even] if an army surrounds me, I [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will trust [in God].
| إِنْ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ جَيْشٌ لَا يَخَافُ قَلْبِي. إِنْ قَامَتْ عَلَيَّ حَرْبٌ فَفِي ذَلِكَ أَنَا مُطْمَئِنٌّ. | ٣ |
4 There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].
| وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَإِيَّاهَا أَلْتَمِسُ: أَنْ أَسْكُنَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي، لِكَيْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى جَمَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَتَفَرَّسَ فِي هَيْكَلِهِ. | ٤ |
5 He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).
| لِأَنَّهُ يُخَبِّئُنِي فِي مَظَلَّتِهِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ. يَسْتُرُنِي بِسِتْرِ خَيْمَتِهِ. عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ يَرْفَعُنِي. | ٥ |
6 Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.
| وَٱلْآنَ يَرْتَفِعُ رَأْسِي عَلَى أَعْدَائِي حَوْلِي، فَأَذْبَحُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْهُتَافِ. أُغَنِّي وَأُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ. | ٦ |
7 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.
| اِسْتَمِعْ يَارَبُّ. بِصَوْتِي أَدْعُو فَٱرْحَمْنِي وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي. | ٧ |
8 I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.
| لَكَ قَالَ قَلْبِي: «قُلْتَ: ٱطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي». وَجْهَكَ يَارَبُّ أَطْلُبُ. | ٨ |
9 I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].
| لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي. لَا تُخَيِّبْ بِسُخْطٍ عَبْدَكَ. قَدْ كُنْتَ عَوْنِي فَلَا تَرْفُضْنِي وَلَا تَتْرُكْنِي يَا إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي. | ٩ |
10 [Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.
| إِنَّ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَدْ تَرَكَانِي وَٱلرَّبُّ يَضُمُّنِي. | ١٠ |
11 Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.
| عَلِّمْنِي يَارَبُّ طَرِيقَكَ، وَٱهْدِنِي فِي سَبِيلٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي. | ١١ |
12 Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.
| لَا تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَرَامِ مُضَايِقِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ وَنَافِثُ ظُلْمٍ. | ١٢ |
13 But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.
| لَوْلَا أَنَّنِي آمَنْتُ بِأَنْ أَرَى جُودَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
| ٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ. لِيَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْيَتَشَجَّعْ قَلْبُكَ، وَٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ. | ١٤ |
