Psalms 109
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent,
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ – مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا اللهُ، يَا مَنْ أُسَبِّحُهُ، لَا تَعْتَصِمْ بِالصَّمْتِ. | ١ |
2 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me — A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!
| فَقَدْ فَغَرَ أَشْرَارٌ مُخَادِعُونَ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ ضِدِّي، وَتَقَوَّلُوا عَلَيَّ بِالكَذِبِ، | ٢ |
3 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without cause.
| يُحَاصِرُونَنِي بِكَلامِ بُغْضٍ، وَيُهَاجِمُونَنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ. | ٣ |
4 For my love they oppose me, and I — prayer!
| يُبَادِلُونَ مَحَبَّتِي بِخِصَامٍ، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ. | ٤ |
5 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.
| يُجَازُونَنِي شَرّاً مُقَابِلَ خَيْرِي، وَبُغْضاً بَدَلَ حُبِّي. | ٥ |
6 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.
| وَلِّ عَلَى عَدُوِّي قَاضِياً ظَالِماً، وَلْيَقِفْ خَصْمُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ يَتَّهِمُهُ جَوْراً. | ٦ |
7 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.
| عِنْدَ مُحَاكَمَتِهِ لِيَثْبُتْ عَلَيْهِ ذَنْبُهُ، وَلْتُحْسَبْ لَهُ صَلاتُهُ خَطِيئَةً. | ٧ |
8 His days are few, his oversight another taketh,
| لِتَقْصُرْ أَيَّامُهُ وَلْيَتَوَلَّ وَظِيفَتَهُ آخَرُ. | ٨ |
9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow.
| لِيَتَيَتَّمْ بَنُوهُ وَتَتَرَمَّلْ زَوْجَتُهُ. | ٩ |
10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.
| لِيَتَشَرَّدْ بَنُوهُ وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَلْيَلْتَمِسُوا قُوتَهُمْ بَعِيداً عَنْ خَرَائِبِ سُكْنَاهُمْ. | ١٠ |
11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour.
| لِيَسْتَرْهِنِ الْمُدَايِنُ كُلَّ مُمْتَلَكَاتِهِ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ الْغُرَبَاءُ ثِمَارَ تَعَبِهِ. | ١١ |
12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans.
| لِيَنْقَرِضْ مَنْ يَتَرَاءَفُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلْيَنْقَطِعْ مَنْ يَتَحَنَّنُ عَلَى أَيْتَامِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out.
| لِيَنْقَرِضْ نَسْلُهُ وَلْيُمْحَ اسْمُهُمْ مِنَ الْجِيلِ الْقَادِمِ. | ١٣ |
14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out.
| لِيَذْكُرِ الرَّبُّ إِثْمَ آبَائِهِ، وَلَا يَغْفِرْ خَطِيئَةَ أُمِّهِ. | ١٤ |
15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.
| لِتَمْثُلْ خَطَايَاهُمْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً كَيْ يَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ. | ١٥ |
16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart — to slay,
| لأَنَّهُ تَغَافَلَ عَنْ إِبْدَاءِ الرَّحْمَةِ، بَلْ تَعَقَّبَ الفَقِيرَ الْمُنْسَحِقَ الْقَلْبِ، لِيُمِيتَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.
| أَحَبَّ اللَّعْنَةَ فَلَحِقَتْ بِهِ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فَابْتَعَدَتْ عَنْهُ. | ١٧ |
18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones.
| اكْتَسَى اللَّعْنَةَ كَرِدَاءٍ، فَتَسَرَّبَتْ إِلَى بَاطِنِهِ كَالْمِيَاهِ وَإِلَى عِظَامِهِ كَالزَّيْتِ. | ١٨ |
19 It is to him as apparel — he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on.
| فَلْتَكُنْ لَهُ كَرِدَاءٍ يَتَلَفَّعُ بِهِ، وَكَحِزَامٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهِ دَائِماً. | ١٩ |
20 This [is] the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
| هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّبِّ، النَّاطِقِينَ شَرّاً عَلَى نَفْسِي. | ٢٠ |
21 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ فَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَأَنْقِذْنِي لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. | ٢١ |
22 For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
| فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ وَقَلْبِي جَرِيحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٢ |
23 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have been driven away as a locust.
| قَدْ تَلاشَيْتُ كَالظِّلِّ عِنْدَ الْمَغِيبِ، وَانْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ. | ٢٣ |
24 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath failed of fatness.
| وَهَنَتْ رُكْبَتَايَ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ، وَهُزِلَ جَسَدِي كَثِيراً. | ٢٤ |
25 And I — I have been a reproach to them, They see me, they shake their head.
| صِرْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ عَاراً، يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ فَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ شَامِتِينَ. | ٢٥ |
26 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy kindness.
| أَعِنِّي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي، خَلِّصْنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast done it.
| فَيُدْرِكُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ، وَأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا الأَمْرَ. | ٢٧ |
28 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice.
| هُمْ يَلْعَنُونَنِي أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُنِي. لِيَخْزَ المُشْتَكُونَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَفْرَحَ أَنَا عَبْدَكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe [is] their shame.
| لِيَكْتَسِ خُصُومِي خَجَلاً، وَلْيَتَلَفَّعُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَالرِّدَاءِ. | ٢٩ |
30 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst of many I praise Him,
| بِهُتَافٍ أَرْفَعُ لِلرَّبِّ شُكْراً عَظِيماً، وَفِي وَسَطِ جُمْهُورٍ غَفِيرٍ أُسَبِّحُهُ. | ٣٠ |
31 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save from those judging his soul.
| لأَنَّهُ يَقِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِ المَظْلُومِ لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ الْحَاكِمِينَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَوْتِ. | ٣١ |
