Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend to my cry, give ear to my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
| صَلَاةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَارَبُّ لِلْحَقِّ. أَنْصِتْ إِلَى صُرَاخِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَلَاتِي مِنْ شَفَتَيْنِ بِلَا غِشٍّ. | ١ |
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thy eyes behold the things that are equal.
| مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ يَخْرُجُ قَضَائِي. عَيْنَاكَ تَنْظُرَانِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَاتِ. | ٢ |
3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I have purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress.
| جَرَّبْتَ قَلْبِي. تَعَهَّدْتَهُ لَيْلًا. مَحَّصْتَنِي. لَا تَجِدُ فِيَّ ذُمُومًا. لَا يَتَعَدَّى فَمِي. | ٣ |
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
| مِنْ جِهَةِ أَعْمَالِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَبِكَلَامِ شَفَتَيْكَ أَنَا تَحَفَّظْتُ مِنْ طُرُقِ ٱلْمُعْتَنِفِ. | ٤ |
5 Uphold my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip not.
| تَمَسَّكَتْ خُطُوَاتِي بِآثَارِكَ فَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمَايَ. | ٥ |
6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thy ear to me, [and hear] my speech.
| أَنَا دَعَوْتُكَ لِأَنَّكَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لِي يَا ٱللهُ. أَمِلْ أُذُنَيْكَ إِلَيَّ. ٱسْمَعْ كَلَامِي. | ٦ |
7 Show thy wonderful loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them who put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
| مَيِّزْ مَرَاحِمَكَ، يَامُخَلِّصَ ٱلْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ، بِيَمِينِكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ. | ٧ |
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shade of thy wings.
| ٱحْفَظْنِي مِثْلَ حَدَقَةِ ٱلْعَيْنِ. بِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ ٱسْتُرْنِي | ٨ |
9 From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies, [who] encompass me,
| مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُخْرِبُونَنِي، أَعْدَائِي بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتَنِفُونَنِي. | ٩ |
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
| قَلْبَهُمُ ٱلسَّمِينَ قَدْ أَغْلَقُوا. بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ قَدْ تَكَلَّمُوا بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ. | ١٠ |
11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
| فِي خُطُوَاتِنَا ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَحَاطُوا بِنَا. نَصَبُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ لِيُزْلِقُونَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١١ |
12 Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
| مَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ ٱلْقَرِمِ إِلَى ٱلِٱفْتِرَاسِ، وَكَٱلشِّبْلِ ٱلْكَامِنِ فِي عِرِّيسِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, [who is] thy sword:
| قُمْ يَارَبُّ. تَقَدَّمْهُ. اِصْرَعْهُ. نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ بِسَيْفِكَ، | ١٣ |
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, [who have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their babes.
| مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِيَدِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلدُّنْيَا. نَصِيبُهُمْ فِي حَيَاتِهِمْ. بِذَخَائِرِكَ تَمْلَأُ بُطُونَهُمْ. يَشْبَعُونَ أَوْلَادًا وَيَتْرُكُونَ فُضَالَتَهُمْ لِأَطْفَالِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِالْبِرِّ أَنْظُرُ وَجْهَكَ. أَشْبَعُ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ بِشَبَهِكَ. | ١٥ |
