Psalms 31

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.

1 يَا رَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ الْتَجَأْتُ فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَخِيبُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ. بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي.

2 Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.

2 أَدِرْ أُذُنَكَ نَحْوِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي سَرِيعاً. كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةً تَحْمِينِي وَمَعْقِلاً حَصِيناً يُخَلِّصُنِي،

3 For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

3 إِذْ إِنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَقَلْعَتِي. وَمِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ تَقُودُنِي وَتَهْدِينِي.

4 You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

4 أَطْلِقْنِي مِنَ الشَّبَكَةِ الَّتِي أَخْفَاهَا الأَشْرَارُ لِي، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَلْجَأِي.

5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

5 فِي يَدِكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي. فَدَيْتَنِي أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ.

6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.

6 لَقَدْ أَبْغَضْتُ الْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ لِلأَصْنَامِ الْبَاطِلَةِ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَعَلَى الرَّبِّ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

7 أَفْرَحُ وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ قَدْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، وَعَرَفْتَ أَلَمَ نَفْسِي الْمُبَرِّحَ.

8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.

8 لَمْ تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى قَبْضَةِ الْعَدُوِّ بَلْ أَوْقَفْتَنِي فِي أَرْضٍ فَسِيحَةٍ.

9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

9 ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَأَنَا فِي ضِيقٍ: كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ غَمّاً، وَاعْتَلَّتْ نَفْسِي وَدَخِيلَتِي أَيْضاً.

10 For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

10 لأَنَّ حَيَاتِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ بِالْحُزْنِ وَسِنِي حَيَاتِي بِالتَّنَهُّدِ. خَارَتْ قُوَايَ مِنْ قَصَاصِ إِثْمِي.

11 Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends—they flee when they see me on the street.

11 صِرْتُ مُحْتَقَراً مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِي وَمَصْدَرَ رُعْبٍ لِجِيرَانِي. الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي فِي الشَّارِعِ يَتَهَرَّبُونَ مِنِّي.

12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.

12 صِرْتُ مَنْسِيًّا كَمَا لَوْ كُنْتُ مَيْتاً، وَأَصْبَحْتُ كَإِنَاءٍ مُحَطَّمٍ،

13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

13 لأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ الْمَذَمَّةَ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ، حَتَّى بَاتَ الْخَوْفُ يُطَوِّقُنِي، إذْ يَتَآمَرُونَ جَمِيعاً عَلَيَّ، عَازِمِينَ عَلَى قَتْلِي.

14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

14 غَيْرَ أَنِّي يَا رَبُّ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَقُلْتُ: أَنْتَ إِلَهِي،

15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.

15 آجَالِي فِي يَدِكَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِي وَمِنْ مُطَارِدِيَّ.

16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.

16 لِيُشْرِقْ وَجْهُكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.

17 لَا تَدَعْنِي يَا رَبُّ أَخْزَى، فَإِنِّي دَعَوْتُكَ. لِيَخْزَ الأَشْرَارُ وَلْيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى هُوَّةِ الْمَوْتِ وَيَسْكُتُوا إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

18 May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

18 لِتَخْرَسِ الشِّفَاهُ الْكَاذِبَةُ، النَّاطِقَةُ بِكِبْرِيَاءَ وَازْدِرَاءٍ وَوَقَاحَةٍ عَلَى الصِّدِّيقِ.

19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

19 يَا رَبُّ، مَا أَعْظَمَ صَلاحَكَ الَّذِي ذَخَرْتَهُ لِخَائِفِيكَ، وَأَظْهَرْتَهُ لِلْوَاثِقِينَ بِكَ عَلَى مَرْأَى جَمِيعِ الْبَشَرِ،

20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

20 فَإِنَّكَ تَصُونُهُمْ فِي خِبَاءِ حَضْرَتِكَ، فِي مَأْمَنٍ مِنْ مُؤَامَرَاتِ النَّاسِ. فِي خَيْمَةٍ وَاقِيَةٍ تَحْرُسُهُمْ مِنْ لَدْغَاتِ أَلْسُنِ خُصُومِهِمْ.

21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.

21 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ لأَنَّهُ أَحَاطَنِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ الْعَجِيبَةِ وَكَأَنِّي فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ.

22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

22 تَسَرَّعْتُ فِي رُعْبِي وَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ تَخَلَّى الرَّبُّ عَنِّي» وَلَكِنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي عِنْدَمَا اسْتَغَثْتُ بِكَ.

23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.

23 أَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَحْفَظُ الأُمَنَاءَ، وَيُجَازِي بِعَدْلِهِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ أَشَدَّ الْجَزَاءِ.

24 Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.

24 لِتَتَقَوَّ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ الرَّبَّ.
