< Psalms 59 >

1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – عَلَى لَا تُهْلِكْ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ شَاوُلُ رُسُلاً يُرَاقِبُونَ بَيْتَهُ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، وَاحْمِنِي مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ.١
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
نَجِّنِي مِنْ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ سَافِكِي الدِّمَاءِ.٢
3 For lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
قَدْ نَصَبُوا كَمِيناً لِنَفْسِي. اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوِيَاءُ، لَا بِسَبَبِ مَعْصِيَتِي وَلَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِي يَا رَبُّ.٣
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
يُسْرِعُونَ مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ إِثْماً. فَانْهَضْ لإِغَاثَتِي وَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي.٤
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ وَإِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اسْتَيْقِظْ وَحَاسِبِ الأُمَمَ حِسَاباً عَسِيراً وَلَا تَتَرَأَّفْ بِالْغَادِرِ الأَثِيمِ٥
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ، يَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ.٦
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
تَفِيضُ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ سُوءاً. (أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ) كَسُيُوفٍ حَادَّةٍ بَيْنَ شِفَاهِهِمْ، قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَسْمَعُنَا؟»٧
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَضْحَكُ مِنْهُمْ. تَسْتَهْزِئُ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.٨
9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defense.
يَا قُوَّتِي إِيَّاكَ أَتَرَجَّى، لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ.٩
10 The God of my mercy will succor me: God will let me see [my desire] upon my enemies.
إِلَهِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ يُوَافِينِي. وَيُرِينِي هَزِيمَةَ أَعْدَائِي.١٠
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield.
لَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّمَا اجْعَلْهُمْ عِبْرَةً لِئَلّا يَنْسَى شَعْبِي، بَلْ بَدِّدْهُمْ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَاطْرَحْهُمْ أَرْضاً أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ حَامِينَا،١١
12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak.
جَزَاءَ خَطِيئَةِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَكَلامِ شِفَاهِهِمْ. لِيَسْقُطُوا فِي فَخِّ كِبْرِيَائِهِمْ لِقَاءَ مَا يَنْطِقُونَ بِهِ مِنَ اللَّعْنَاتِ وَالْكَذِبِ.١٢
13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
أَفْنِهِمْ فِي غَضَبِكَ وَاسْتَأْصِلْهُمْ فَتُدْرِكَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَنَّ اللهَ يَسُودُ عَلَى بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ.١٣
14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ وَيَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ.١٤
15 Let them wander up and down for food, and grudge if they are not satisfied.
يَهِيمُونَ مُتَشَرِّدِينَ طَلَباً لِلطَّعَامِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْبَعُوا يُدَمْدِمُونَ.١٥
16 But I will sing of thy power; yes, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَرَنَّمُ بِقُوَّتِكَ. أَتَهَلَّلُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ لِرَحْمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ لِي حِصْناً مَنِيعاً وَمَلْجَأً فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي.١٦
17 To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defense, [and] the God of my mercy.
لَكَ أُسَبِّحُ يَا قُوَّتِي لأَنَّ اللهَ مَلْجَإِي. إِلَهُ رَحْمَتِي.١٧
