Psalms 143
1 A Psalm by David. Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
| مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ اسْمَعْ صَلاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى تَضَرُّعَاتِي. اسْتَجِبْ لِي بِفَضْلِ أَمَانَتِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ. | ١ |
2 Don’t enter into judgement with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
| لَا تُحَاكِمْ عَبْدَكَ، فَلَنْ يَتَبَرَّرَ أَمَامَكَ إِنْسَانٌ. | ٢ |
3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
| الْعَدُوُّ يَضْطَهِدُنِي، يَسْحَقُ حَيَاتِي. زَجَّنِي فِي سِجْنٍ مُظْلِمٍ، فَصِرْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَانْدَثَرَ ذِكْرُهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
| غُشِيَ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي، وَتَحَيَّرَ قَلْبِي فِي أَعْمَاقِي. | ٤ |
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ الأَيَّامَ السَّالِفَةَ مُتَأَمِّلاً فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكَ، مُتَفَكِّراً فِي صَنِيعِ يَدَيْكَ. | ٥ |
6 I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
| بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ، عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي كَأَرْضٍ ظَامِئَةٍ. | ٦ |
7 Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
| أَجِبْنِي مُسْرِعاً يَا رَبُّ. وَهَنَتْ رُوحِي فَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي، لِئَلّا أَصِيرَ كالْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ. | ٧ |
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
| أَسْمِعْنِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ رَحْمَتَكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. عَرِّفْنِي الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي أَسْلُكُهَا، لأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ نَفْسِي. | ٨ |
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
| أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَا رَبُّ، لأَنَّنِي بِكَ اسْتَعَذْتُ. | ٩ |
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
| عَلِّمْنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، وَلْيَهْدِنِي رُوحُكَ الصَّالِحُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ. | ١٠ |
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
| أَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ أَفْرِجْ ضِيقَ نَفْسِي. | ١١ |
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
| بِرَحْمَتِكَ لِي اسْتَأْصِلْ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَهْلِكْ جَمِيعَ ظَالِمِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا خَادِمُكَ. | ١٢ |
