Psalms 143

1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.

1 يَا رَبُّ اسْمَعْ صَلاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى تَضَرُّعَاتِي. اسْتَجِبْ لِي بِفَضْلِ أَمَانَتِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ.

2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

2 لَا تُحَاكِمْ عَبْدَكَ، فَلَنْ يَتَبَرَّرَ أَمَامَكَ إِنْسَانٌ.

3 For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.

3 الْعَدُوُّ يَضْطَهِدُنِي، يَسْحَقُ حَيَاتِي. زَجَّنِي فِي سِجْنٍ مُظْلِمٍ، فَصِرْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَانْدَثَرَ ذِكْرُهُمْ.

4 My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.

4 غُشِيَ عَلَى رُوحِي فِي دَاخِلِي، وَتَحَيَّرَ قَلْبِي فِي أَعْمَاقِي.

5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.

5 تَذَكَّرْتُ الأَيَّامَ السَّالِفَةَ مُتَأَمِّلاً فِي جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِكَ، مُتَفَكِّراً فِي صَنِيعِ يَدَيْكَ.

6 I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah

6 بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ، عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي كَأَرْضٍ ظَامِئَةٍ.

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.

7 أَجِبْنِي مُسْرِعاً يَا رَبُّ. وَهَنَتْ رُوحِي فَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي، لِئَلّا أَصِيرَ كالْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ.

8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.

8 أَسْمِعْنِي فِي الصَّبَاحِ رَحْمَتَكَ، فَإِنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. عَرِّفْنِي الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي أَسْلُكُهَا، لأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ نَفْسِي.

9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.

9 أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَا رَبُّ، لأَنَّنِي بِكَ اسْتَعَذْتُ.

10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

10 عَلِّمْنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، وَلْيَهْدِنِي رُوحُكَ الصَّالِحُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ.

11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.

11 أَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ أَفْرِجْ ضِيقَ نَفْسِي.

12 And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.

12 بِرَحْمَتِكَ لِي اسْتَأْصِلْ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَهْلِكْ جَمِيعَ ظَالِمِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَنَا خَادِمُكَ.
