Psalms 56

1 For the chief musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A psalm of David. A michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for men are attacking me! All the day long those who fight me press their assault.

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْحَمَامَةِ الْبَكْمَاءِ فِي الأَمْاكِنِ الْبَعِيدَةِ. قَصِيدَةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي جَتَّ ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَجِدُّ فِي مُطَارَدَتِي لاِفْتِرَاسِي. يُحَارِبُنِي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ وَيُضَايِقُنِي.

2 My enemies trample me all day long; for there are many who arrogantly fight against me.

٢ يَتَرَبَّصُ بِي أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ لاِبْتِلاعِي، وَمَا أَكْثَرَ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءِ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ.

3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

٣ فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ.

4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man do to me?

٤ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي أَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى كَلامِهِ، فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟

5 All the day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

٥ يُحَرِّفُ أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ كَلامِي. كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ تَتَآمَرُ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَيَّ.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.

٦ يَتَجَمَّعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَكْمُنُونَ لِي. يَتَرَصَّدُونَ خُطْوَاتِي وَيَبْتَغُونَ نَفْسِي.

7 Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.

٧ عَاقِبْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى إِثْمِهِمْ. أَخْضِعْ بِغَضَبِكَ الشُّعُوبَ يَا اللهُ.

8 You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?

٨ أَنْتَ رَاقَبْتَ تَشَرُّدِي. فَاحْفَظْ دُمُوعِي فِي خَزَانَتِكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي كِتَابِكَ؟

9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; this I know, that God is for me.

٩ عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوكَ يَتَقَهْقَرُ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. وَهَذَا مَا تَيَقَّنْتُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ اللهَ مَعِي.

10 In God—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,

١٠ أَحْمَدُ اللهَ عَلَى كَلامِهِ. أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ عَلَى كَلامِهِ.

11 in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?

١١ عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الإِنْسَانُ؟

12 The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings to you.

١٢ يَا رَبُّ إِنِّي أُوْفِي مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ نُذُورٍ، وَأُقَرِّبُ لَكَ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ.

13 For you have rescued my life from death; you have kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

١٣ لأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَحَفِظْتَ رِجْلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الْحَيَاةِ.
