Psalms 56

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

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.

NAV

1 ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَجِدُّ فِي مُطَارَدَتِي لاِفْتِرَاسِي. يُحَارِبُنِي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ وَيُضَايِقُنِي.

BSB

2 My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.

NAV

2 يَتَرَبَّصُ بِي أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ لاِبْتِلاعِي، وَمَا أَكْثَرَ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءِ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ.

BSB

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

NAV

3 فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ.

BSB

4 In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

NAV

4 تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي أَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى كَلامِهِ، فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟

BSB

5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

NAV

5 يُحَرِّفُ أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ كَلامِي. كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ تَتَآمَرُ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَيَّ.

BSB

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

NAV

6 يَتَجَمَّعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَكْمُنُونَ لِي. يَتَرَصَّدُونَ خُطْوَاتِي وَيَبْتَغُونَ نَفْسِي.

BSB

7 In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.

NAV

7 عَاقِبْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى إِثْمِهِمْ. أَخْضِعْ بِغَضَبِكَ الشُّعُوبَ يَا اللهُ.

BSB

8 You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle—are they not in Your book?

NAV

8 أَنْتَ رَاقَبْتَ تَشَرُّدِي. فَاحْفَظْ دُمُوعِي فِي خَزَانَتِكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي كِتَابِكَ؟

BSB

9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

NAV

9 عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوكَ يَتَقَهْقَرُ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. وَهَذَا مَا تَيَقَّنْتُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ اللهَ مَعِي.

BSB

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

NAV

10 أَحْمَدُ اللهَ عَلَى كَلامِهِ. أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ عَلَى كَلامِهِ.

BSB

11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

NAV

11 عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الإِنْسَانُ؟

BSB

12 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

NAV

12 يَا رَبُّ إِنِّي أُوْفِي مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ نُذُورٍ، وَأُقَرِّبُ لَكَ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ.

BSB

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

NAV

13 لأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَحَفِظْتَ رِجْلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الْحَيَاةِ.
