Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue me.
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْحَمَامَةِ ٱلْبَكْمَاءِ بَيْنَ ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ». مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا أَخَذَهُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي جَتَّ. اِرْحَمْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ يَتَهَمَّمُنِي، وَٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ مُحَارِبًا يُضَايِقُنِي. | ١ |
2 My enemies harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
| تَهَمَّمَنِي أَعْدَائِي ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءَ. | ٢ |
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
| فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي، أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ. | ٣ |
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
| ٱللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. عَلَى ٱللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي ٱلْبَشَرُ؟ | ٤ |
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
| ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يُحَرِّفُونَ كَلَامِي. عَلَيَّ كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ بِٱلشَّرِّ. | ٥ |
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
| يَجْتَمِعُونَ، يَخْتَفُونَ، يُلَاحِظُونَ خُطُواتِي عِنْدَمَا تَرَصَّدُوا نَفْسِي. | ٦ |
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
| عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ جَازِهِمْ. بِغَضَبٍ أَخْضِعِٱلشُّعُوبَ يَا ٱللهُ. | ٧ |
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
| تَيَهَانِي رَاقَبْتَ. ٱجْعَلْ أَنْتَ دُمُوعِي فِي زِقِّكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي سِفْرِكَ؟ | ٨ |
9 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْتَدُّ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ فِي يَوْمٍ أَدْعُوكَ فِيهِ. هَذَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ لِي. | ٩ |
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
| ٱللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. | ١٠ |
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
| عَلَى ٱللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ | ١١ |
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
| اَللَّهُمَّ، عَلَيَّ نُذُورُكَ. أُوفِي ذَبَائِحَ شُكْرٍ لَكَ. | ١٢ |
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
| لِأَنَّكَ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. نَعَمْ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسِيرَ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ فِي نُورِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ١٣ |
