Psalms 69
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Lilies.” By David. Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا اللهُ، فَإِنَّ الْمِيَاهَ قَدْ غَمَرَتْ نَفْسِي. | ١ |
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
| غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ وَلَا مَكَانَ فِيهَا أَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ. خُضْتُ أَعْمَاقَ الْمِيَاهِ. وَطَمَا عَلَيَّ السَّيْلُ. | ٢ |
3 I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.
| تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. جَفَّ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ وَأَنَا أَنْتَظِرُ إِلَهِي. | ٣ |
4 Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
| مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ أَكْثَرُ عَدَداً مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَطَالِبُو هَلاكِي طُغَاةٌ جَائِرُونَ. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ مَا لَمْ أَغْتَصِبْهُ. | ٤ |
5 God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t hidden from you.
| يَا اللهُ أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ حَمَاقَتِي، وَمَعَاصِيَّ لَمْ تَخْفَ عَنْكَ. | ٥ |
6 Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Armies. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.
| أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، لَا تَدَعْنِي أَكُونُ عِلَّةَ خِزْيِ مُلْتَمِسِيكَ، وَلَا مَثَارَ خَجَلِ طَالِبِيكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٦ |
7 Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.
| لأَنَّنِي تَحَمَّلْتُ الْعَارَ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ، وَغَطَّى الْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي. | ٧ |
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.
| صِرْتُ غَرِيباً فِي عُيُونِ إِخْوَتِي، وَأَجْنَبِيًّا فِي نَظَرِ بَنِي أُمِّي. | ٨ |
9 For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
| لأَنَّ الْغَيْرَةَ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي وَتَعْيِيرَاتُ الَّذِينَ يُعَيِّرُونَكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ. | ٩ |
10 When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.
| صُمْتُ وَبَكَيْتُ فَعَيَّرُونِي. | ١٠ |
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
| اتَّشَحْتُ بِالمُسُوحِ فَصِرْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ مَثَلاً. | ١١ |
12 Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.
| صِرْتُ حَدِيثَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَأُغْنِيَةً لِلسُّكَارَى. | ١٢ |
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ صَلاتِي يَا رَبُّ؛ لأَنَّ هَذَا أَوَانُ الرِّضَى، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا اللهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الْغَزِيرَةِ وَبِحَقِّ خَلاصِكَ. | ١٣ |
14 Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
| أَنْقِذْنِي مِنَ الوَحْلِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَانْتَشِلْنِي مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الْمِيَاهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.
| لَا يَطْمُ عَلَيَّ سَيْلُ الْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي الْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ الْهُوَّةُ عَلَيَّ فَمَهَا. | ١٥ |
16 Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.
| اسْتَجِبْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ، وَبِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِمِكَ الْوَفِيرَةِ الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ. | ١٦ |
17 Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!
| لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لأَنَّنِي فِي ضِيقٍ، فَأَسْرِعْ وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي. | ١٧ |
18 Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
| اقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي، وَفُكَّهَا. افْدِنِي بِأَعْدَائِي | ١٨ |
19 You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you.
| أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَهَوَانِي. أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.
| كَسَرَ الْعَارُ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. الْتَمَسْتُ عَطْفاً فَلَمْ أَجِدْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَعْثُرْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ. | ٢٠ |
21 They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
| وَضَعُوا عَلْقَماً فِي طَعَامِي، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلاً. | ٢١ |
22 Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
| لِتَصِرْ لَهُمْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخّاً وَعَقَبَةً وَعِقَاباً. | ٢٢ |
23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.
| لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا وَلْتَكُنْ ظُهُورُهُمْ مُنْحَنِيَةً دَائِماً. | ٢٣ |
24 Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
| صُبَّ سَخَطَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ غَضَبُكَ الْمُحْتَدِمُ. | ٢٤ |
25 Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
| لِيَصِرْ مَسْكَنُهُمْ خَرَاباً، وَلَا يَبْقَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ سَاكِنٌ. | ٢٥ |
26 For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
| لأَنَّهُمْ يَضْطَهِدُونَ مَنْ عَاقَبْتَهُ، وَيَشْمَتُونَ فِي وَجَعِ الَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ. | ٢٦ |
27 Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
| زِدْ إِثْماً عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ وَلَا تُبْرِئْ سَاحَتَهُمْ. | ٢٧ |
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
| لِتُحْذَفْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ وَلَا تُكْتَبْ مَعَ الأَبْرَارِ. | ٢٨ |
29 But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَمُتَضَايِقٌ وَمُتَوَجِّعٌ. فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي خَلاصُكَ يَا اللهُ. | ٢٩ |
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
| أُسَبِّحُ اسْمَ اللهِ بِنَشِيدٍ وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ. | ٣٠ |
31 It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
| فَيَطِيبُ ذَلِكَ لَدَى الرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَةٍ: ثَوْرٍ أَوْ عِجْلٍ. | ٣١ |
32 The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.
| يَرَى الْوُدَعَاءُ ذَلِكَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ. وَتَحْيَا نُفُوسُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي اللهِ. | ٣٢ |
33 For the LORD hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِلْمُحْتَاجِينَ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ شَعْبَهُ الأَسِيرَ. | ٣٣ |
34 Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
| تُسَبِّحُهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَالْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَتَحَرَّكَ فِيهَا. | ٣٤ |
35 For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.
| لأَنَّ اللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُ الشَّعْبُ فِيهَا وَيَمْتَلِكُهَا. | ٣٥ |
36 The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
| تَرِثُهَا ذُرِّيَّةُ عَبِيدِهِ، وَمُحِبُّو اسْمِهِ يَسْكُنوُنَ فِيهَا. | ٣٦ |
