Psalms 55
1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David. Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِصْغَ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَى صَلَاتِي، وَلَا تَتَغَاضَ عَنْ تَضَرُّعِي. | ١ |
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan
| ٱسْتَمِعْ لِي وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي. أَتَحَيَّرُ فِي كُرْبَتِي وَأَضْطَرِبُ | ٢ |
3 because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
| مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ قِبَلِ ظُلْمِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. لِأَنَّهُمْ يُحِيلُونَ عَلَيَّ إِثْمًا، وَبِغَضَبٍ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي. | ٣ |
4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
| يَمْخَضُ قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي، وَأَهْوَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ سَقَطَتْ عَلَيَّ. | ٤ |
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
| خَوْفٌ وَرَعْدَةٌ أَتَيَا عَلَيَّ، وَغَشِيَنِي رُعْبٌ. | ٥ |
6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
| فَقُلْتُ: «لَيْتَ لِي جَنَاحًا كَٱلْحَمَامَةِ، فَأَطِيرَ وَأَسْتَرِيحَ! | ٦ |
7 Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” (Selah)
| هَأَنَذَا كُنْتُ أَبْعُدُ هَارِبًا، وَأَبِيتُ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. سِلَاهْ. | ٧ |
8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
| كُنْتُ أُسْرِعُ فِي نَجَاتِي مِنَ ٱلرِّيحِ ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّوْءِ». | ٨ |
9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
| أَهْلِكْ يَارَبُّ، فَرِّقْ أَلْسِنَتَهُمْ، لِأَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ ظُلْمًا وَخِصَامًا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ. | ٩ |
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
| نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا يُحِيطُونَ بِهَا عَلَى أَسْوَارِهَا، وَإِثْمٌ وَمَشَقَّةٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا. | ١٠ |
11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.
| مَفَاسِدُ فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَلَا يَبْرَحُ مِنْ سَاحَتِهَا ظُلْمٌ وَغِشٌّ. | ١١ |
12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَدُوٌّ يُعَيِّرُنِي فَأَحْتَمِلَ. لَيْسَ مُبْغِضِي تَعَظَّمَ عَلَيَّ فَأَخْتَبِئَ مِنْهُ. | ١٢ |
13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
| بَلْ أَنْتَ إِنْسَانٌ عَدِيلِي، إِلْفِي وَصَدِيقِي، | ١٣ |
14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.
| ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ كَانَتْ تَحْلُو لَنَا ٱلْعِشْرَةُ. إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ كُنَّا نَذْهَبُ فِي ٱلْجُمْهُورِ. | ١٤ |
15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is amongst them, in their dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
| لِيَبْغَتْهُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ. لِيَنْحَدِرُوا إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَحْيَاءً، لِأَنَّ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ، فِي وَسْطِهِمْ شُرُورًا. (Sheol h7585) | ١٥ |
16 As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَى ٱللهِ أَصْرُخُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُخَلِّصُنِي. | ١٦ |
17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
| مَسَاءً وَصَبَاحًا وَظُهْرًا أَشْكُو وَأَنُوحُ، فَيَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي. | ١٧ |
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
| فَدَى بِسَلَامٍ نَفْسِي مِنْ قِتَالٍ عَلَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ بِكَثْرَةٍ كَانُوا حَوْلِي. | ١٨ |
19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. (Selah) They never change and don’t fear God.
| يَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ فَيُذِلُّهُمْ، وَٱلْجَالِسُ مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ. سِلَاهْ. ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ تَغَيُّرٌ، وَلَا يَخَافُونَ ٱللهَ. | ١٩ |
20 He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.
| أَلْقَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى مُسَالِمِيهِ. نَقَضَ عَهْدَهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
| أَنْعَمُ مِنَ ٱلزُّبْدَةِ فَمُهُ، وَقَلْبُهُ قِتَالٌ. أَلْيَنُ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتِ كَلِمَاتُهُ، وَهِيَ سُيُوفٌ مَسْلُولَةٌ. | ٢١ |
22 Cast your burden on the LORD and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
| أَلْقِ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ هَمَّكَ فَهُوَ يَعُولُكَ. لَا يَدَعُ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ يَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٢٢ |
23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
| وَأَنْتَ يَا ٱللهُ تُحَدِّرُهُمْ إِلَى جُبِّ ٱلْهَلَاكِ. رِجَالُ ٱلدِّمَاءِ وَٱلْغِشِّ لَا يَنْصُفُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٢٣ |
