Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
| لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ كُنْ خَصْماً لِمَنْ يُخَاصِمُونَنِي، وَحَارِبِ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي. | ١ |
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
| تَقَلَّدِ التُّرْسَ وَالدِّرْعَ وَهُبَّ لِنَجْدَتِي. | ٢ |
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
| جَرِّدْ رُمْحاً وَتَصَدَّ لِمُطَارِدِيَّ، وَقُلْ لِنَفْسِي: خَلاصُكِ أَنَا. | ٣ |
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
| لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلِ السَّاعُونَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيَنْهَزِمْ وَيَخْجَلِ الْمُتَوَاطِئُونَ عَلَى أَذِيَّتِي. | ٤ |
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them].
| لِيَكُونُوا مِثْلَ ذَرَّاتِ التِّبْنِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ. وَلْيَدْحَرْهُمْ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ. | ٥ |
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
| لِتَكُنْ طَرِيقُهُمْ مُظْلِمَةً وَزَلِقَةً، وَلْيَتَعَقَّبْهُمْ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ. | ٦ |
7 For without cause they have hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَبَبٍ أَخْفَوْا لِي شَبَكَةً فَوْقَ الْهُوَّةِ، وَمِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفْرَةً. | ٧ |
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
| لِيُطْبِقِ الْهَلاكُ فَجْأَةً عَلَى عَدُوِّي، وَلْتُمْسِكْ بِهِ الشَّبَكَةُ الَّتِي أَخْفَاهَا، فَيَهْلِكَ فِيهَا. | ٨ |
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
| أَمَّا نَفْسِي فَتَفْرَحُ بِالرَّبِّ وَتَبْتَهِجُ بِخَلاصِهِ. | ٩ |
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, even the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
| جَمِيعُ عِظَامِي تَقُولُ: يَا رَبُّ مَنْ مِثْلُكَ، المُخَلِّصُ الْمِسْكِينَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ وَمُنْقِذُ الْفَقِيرِ وَالْبَائِسِ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِهِ؟ | ١٠ |
11 False witnesses arose; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not.
| يَقُومُ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ يَتَّهِمُونَنِي ظُلْماً بِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ. | ١١ |
12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul.
| يُجَازُونَنِي عَنِ الْخَيْرِ شَرّاً إِتْعَاساً لِنَفْسِي. | ١٢ |
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ لَبِسْتُ الْمِسْحَ حُزْناً عَلَى مَرَضِهِمْ، وَأَذْلَلْتُ نَفْسِي بِالصَّوْمِ، وَلَكِنَّ صَلاتِي كَانَتْ تَرْتَدُّ إِلَى صَدْرِي مِنْ غَيْرِ اسْتِجَابَةٍ. | ١٣ |
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother.
| لَقَدْ عَامَلْتُ كُلًّا مِنْهُمْ كَأَنَّهُ صَدِيقِي وَأَخِي، وَأَطْرَقْتُ حُزْناً كَمَنْ يَنْدُبُ أُمَّهُ. | ١٤ |
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced, and assembled themselves: [yes], the abjects assembled themselves against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
| وَأَمَّا هُمْ فَشَمِتُوا فَرَحاً عِنْدَ سَقْطَتِي، وَتَجَمَّعُوا عَلَيَّ شَاتِمِينَ، وَشَرَعَ غُرَبَاءُ لَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ يَضْرِبُونَنِي. مَزَّقُونِي وَلَمْ يَرْتَدِعُوا. | ١٥ |
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
| كَفُجَّارٍ مَاجِنِينَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ حَوْلَ وَلِيمَةٍ حَرَّقُوا عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُمْ. | ١٦ |
17 LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
| يَا سَيِّدُ، حَتَّى مَتَى تَظَلُّ مُتَفَرِّجاً؟ نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ مَهَالِكِهِمْ وَخَلِّصْ حَيَاتِي مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَشْبَالِ. | ١٧ |
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people.
| أَشْكُرُكَ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الْعَابِدِينَ، وَأَحْمَدُكَ فِي وَسَطِ حُشُودٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ١٨ |
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
| لَا يَشْمَتْ بِي أَعْدَائِي بِحُجَّةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ، وَلَا يَتَغَامَزْ مُبْغِضِيَّ عَلَيَّ، بِغَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ. | ١٩ |
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land.
| فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالسَّلامِ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَتَآمَرُونَ بِمَكْرٍ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِالْمُسَالِمِينَ السَّاكِنِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
| فَغَرُوا علَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَى وِسْعِهَا، وَقَالُوا: «هَهْ! هَهْ! قَدْ رَأَيْنَا بِأَعْيُنِنَا (مَا فَعَلْتَ).» | ٢١ |
22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
| قَدْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَبُّ ذَلِكَ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي. | ٢٢ |
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my LORD.
| انْهَضْ يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي وَاسْتَيْقِظْ لإِحْقَاقِ حَقِّي وَإِنْصَافِ دَعْوَايَ. | ٢٣ |
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
| احْكُمْ بِبَرَاءَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي حَسَبَ عَدْلِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي. | ٢٤ |
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
| لِئَلّا يَقُولُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ: «هَهْ! قَدْ ظَفِرْنَا بِهِ» أَوْ يَقُولُوا: «قَدِ ابْتَلَعْنَاهُ!» | ٢٥ |
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at my hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify [themselves] against me.
| لِيَخْزَ وَيَخْجَلْ جَمِيعُ الشَّامِتِينَ بِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي. لِيَرْتَدِ الْمُتَعَظِّمُونَ عَلَيَّ لِبَاسَ الْخِزْيِ وَالْعَارِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yes, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
| وَلْيَهْتِفِ الْمَسْرُورُونَ بِبِرِّي بِهُتَافِ الْفَرَحِ وَالابْتِهَاجِ، قَائِلِينَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ: «لِيَتَمَجَّدِ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي يَبْتَهِجُ بِنَجَاحِ عَبْدِهِ». | ٢٧ |
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.
| فَيُذِيعَ لِسَانِي عَدْلَكَ، وَيَتَرَنَّمَ بِحَمْدِكَ النَّهَارَ كُلَّهُ. | ٢٨ |
