Psalms 141
1 A psalm of David. Yahweh, I am crying out to you; come quickly to me. Listen to me when I call to you.
| مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ دَعَوْتُ، فَأَسْرِعْ لإِغَاثَتِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَمَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ. | ١ |
2 May my prayer be like incense before you; may my lifted hands be like the evening sacrifice.
| لِتَكُنْ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ كَالْبَخُورِ، وَرَفْعُ يَدَيَّ مِثْلَ تَقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَاءِ. | ٢ |
3 Yahweh, place a guard over my mouth; guard the door of my lips.
| أَقِمْ يَا رَبُّ حَارِساً لِفَمِي، وَاحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ. | ٣ |
4 Do not let my heart desire any evil thing or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. May I not eat any of their delicacies.
| لَا تَدَعْ قَلْبِي يَتَعَلَّقُ بِشَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ، فَيُمَارِسَ أَعْمَالَ الشَّرِّ مَعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. وَلَا تَدَعْنِي آكُلُ مِنْ أَطَايِبِهِمْ. | ٤ |
5 Let a righteous man hit me; it will be a kindness to me. Let him correct me; it will be like oil on my head; may my head not refuse to accept it. But my prayer is always against their wicked deeds.
| لِيَضْرِبْنِي الصِّدِّيقُ فَذَلِكَ رَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَذَلِكَ زَيْتٌ عَاطِرٌ لِرَأْسِي. أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي دَائِماً (كَي تَحْفَظَنِي مِنْ أَفْعَالِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ). | ٥ |
6 Their leaders will be thrown down from the top of cliffs; they will hear that my own words are pleasant.
| عِنْدَمَا يُلْقَى بِقُضَاتِهِمِ الظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، آنَئِذٍ يَسْمَعُونَ لِكَلِمَاتِي إِذْ يُوْقِنُونَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ. | ٦ |
7 They will have to say, “As when one plows and breaks up the ground, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
| تَتَنَاثَرُ عِظَامُهُمْ عِنْدَ فَمِ الْقَبْرِ كَشَظَايَا الْحَطَبِ الْمُشَقَّقَةِ الْمُبَعْثَرَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. (Sheol h7585) | ٧ |
8 Surely my eyes are on you, Yahweh, Lord; in you I take refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
| لَكِنَّ نَحْوَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ، وَبِكَ لُذْتُ، فَلَا تَتْرُكْ نَفْسِي عُرْضَةً لِلْمَوْتِ. | ٨ |
9 Protect me from the snares that they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.
| احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الْفَخِّ الَّذِي نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. | ٩ |
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets while I escape.
| لِيَسْقُطِ الأَشْرَارُ فِي أَشْرَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ تَمَامَ النَّجَاةِ. | ١٠ |
