Psalms 141

Berean Standard Bible tier 2New Arabic Version (Book of Life) tier 3
BSB

1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.

NAV

1 يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ دَعَوْتُ، فَأَسْرِعْ لإِغَاثَتِي. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَمَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ.

BSB

2 May my prayer be set before You like incense; my uplifted hands, like the evening offering.

NAV

2 لِتَكُنْ صَلاتِي أَمَامَكَ كَالْبَخُورِ، وَرَفْعُ يَدَيَّ مِثْلَ تَقْدِمَةِ الْمَسَاءِ.

BSB

3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

NAV

3 أَقِمْ يَا رَبُّ حَارِساً لِفَمِي، وَاحْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ.

BSB

4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

NAV

4 لَا تَدَعْ قَلْبِي يَتَعَلَّقُ بِشَيْءٍ رَدِيءٍ، فَيُمَارِسَ أَعْمَالَ الشَّرِّ مَعَ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ. وَلَا تَدَعْنِي آكُلُ مِنْ أَطَايِبِهِمْ.

BSB

5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.

NAV

5 لِيَضْرِبْنِي الصِّدِّيقُ فَذَلِكَ رَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَذَلِكَ زَيْتٌ عَاطِرٌ لِرَأْسِي. أَمَّا الأَشْرَارُ فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي دَائِماً (كَي تَحْفَظَنِي مِنْ أَفْعَالِهِمِ الأَثِيمَةِ).

BSB

6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

NAV

6 عِنْدَمَا يُلْقَى بِقُضَاتِهِمِ الظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، آنَئِذٍ يَسْمَعُونَ لِكَلِمَاتِي إِذْ يُوْقِنُونَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ.

BSB

7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

NAV

7 تَتَنَاثَرُ عِظَامُهُمْ عِنْدَ فَمِ الْقَبْرِ كَشَظَايَا الْحَطَبِ الْمُشَقَّقَةِ الْمُبَعْثَرَةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

BSB

8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.

NAV

8 لَكِنَّ نَحْوَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ رَفَعْتُ عَيْنَيَّ، وَبِكَ لُذْتُ، فَلَا تَتْرُكْ نَفْسِي عُرْضَةً لِلْمَوْتِ.

BSB

9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.

NAV

9 احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الْفَخِّ الَّذِي نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ.

BSB

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.

NAV

10 لِيَسْقُطِ الأَشْرَارُ فِي أَشْرَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ تَمَامَ النَّجَاةِ.
