Psalms 59
1 God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – عَلَى لَا تُهْلِكْ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلاً يُرَاقِبُونَ بَيْتَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، وَاحْمِنِي مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ. | ١ |
2 Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
| نَجِّنِي مِنْ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ سَافِكِي الدِّمَاءِ. | ٢ |
3 Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
| قَدْ نَصَبُوا كَمِيناً لِنَفْسِي. اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوِيَاءُ، لَا بِسَبَبِ مَعْصِيَتِي وَلَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِي يَا رَبُّ. | ٣ |
4 It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
| يُسْرِعُونَ مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ إِثْماً. فَانْهَضْ لإِغَاثَتِي وَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي. | ٤ |
5 Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ وَإِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اسْتَيْقِظْ وَحَاسِبِ الأُمَمَ حِسَاباً عَسِيراً وَلَا تَتَرَأَّفْ بِالْغَادِرِ الأَثِيمِ | ٥ |
6 They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
| يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ، يَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ. | ٦ |
7 They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
| تَفِيضُ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ سُوءاً. (أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ) كَسُيُوفٍ حَادَّةٍ بَيْنَ شِفَاهِهِمْ، قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَسْمَعُنَا؟» | ٧ |
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
| لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَضْحَكُ مِنْهُمْ. تَسْتَهْزِئُ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ. | ٨ |
9 God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
| يَا قُوَّتِي إِيَّاكَ أَتَرَجَّى، لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ. | ٩ |
10 Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
| إِلَهِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ يُوَافِينِي. وَيُرِينِي هَزِيمَةَ أَعْدَائِي. | ١٠ |
11 But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
| لَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّمَا اجْعَلْهُمْ عِبْرَةً لِئَلّا يَنْسَى شَعْبِي، بَلْ بَدِّدْهُمْ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَاطْرَحْهُمْ أَرْضاً أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ حَامِينَا، | ١١ |
12 Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
| جَزَاءَ خَطِيئَةِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَكَلامِ شِفَاهِهِمْ. لِيَسْقُطُوا فِي فَخِّ كِبْرِيَائِهِمْ لِقَاءَ مَا يَنْطِقُونَ بِهِ مِنَ اللَّعْنَاتِ وَالْكَذِبِ. | ١٢ |
13 because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
| أَفْنِهِمْ فِي غَضَبِكَ وَاسْتَأْصِلْهُمْ فَتُدْرِكَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَنَّ اللهَ يَسُودُ عَلَى بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ. | ١٣ |
14 My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
| يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ وَيَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١٤ |
15 They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
| يَهِيمُونَ مُتَشَرِّدِينَ طَلَباً لِلطَّعَامِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْبَعُوا يُدَمْدِمُونَ. | ١٥ |
16 But [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَرَنَّمُ بِقُوَّتِكَ. أَتَهَلَّلُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ لِرَحْمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ لِي حِصْناً مَنِيعاً وَمَلْجَأً فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. | ١٦ |
17 God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
| لَكَ أُسَبِّحُ يَا قُوَّتِي لأَنَّ اللهَ مَلْجَإِي. إِلَهُ رَحْمَتِي. | ١٧ |
