Psalms 141

Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

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

SVD

1 يَارَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ صَرَخْتُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَ مَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ.

BSB

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

SVD

2 لِتَسْتَقِمْ صَلَاتِي كَٱلْبَخُورِ قُدَّامَكَ. لِيَكُنْ رَفْعُ يَدَيَّ كَذَبِيحَةٍ مَسَائِيَّةٍ.

BSB

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

SVD

3 ٱجْعَلْ يَارَبُّ حَارِسًا لِفَمِي. ٱحْفَظْ 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.

SVD

4 لَا تُمِلْ قَلْبِي إِلَى أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ، لِأَتَعَلَّلَ بِعِلَلِ ٱلشَّرِّ مَعَ أُنَاسٍ فَاعِلِي إِثْمٍ، وَلَا آكُلْ مِنْ نَفَائِسِهِمْ.

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.

SVD

5 لِيَضْرِبْنِي ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَرَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَزَيْتٌ لِلرَّأْسِ. لَا يَأْبَى رَأْسِي. لِأَنَّ صَلَاتِي بَعْدُ فِي مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

BSB

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

SVD

6 قَدِ ٱنْطَرَحَ قُضَاتُهُمْ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ، وَسَمِعُوا كَلِمَاتِي لِأَنَّهَا لَذِيذَةٌ.

BSB

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

SVD

7 كَمَنْ يَفْلَحُ وَيَشُقُّ ٱلْأَرْضَ، تَبَدَّدَتْ عِظَامُنَا عِنْدَ فَمِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ.

BSB

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

SVD

8 لِأَنَّهُ إِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدُ يَارَبُّ عَيْنَايَ. بِكَ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ. لَا تُفْرِغْ نَفْسِي.

BSB

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

SVD

9 ٱحْفَظْنِي مِنَ ٱلْفَخِّ ٱلَّذِي قَدْ نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.

BSB

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

SVD

10 لِيَسْقُطِ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي شِبَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ أَنَا بِٱلْكُلِّيَّةِ.
