Psalms 59

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.

1 إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، وَاحْمِنِي مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ.

2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.

2 نَجِّنِي مِنْ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، وَخَلِّصْنِي مِنْ سَافِكِي الدِّمَاءِ.

3 See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

3 قَدْ نَصَبُوا كَمِيناً لِنَفْسِي. اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوِيَاءُ، لَا بِسَبَبِ مَعْصِيَتِي وَلَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِي يَا رَبُّ.

4 For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.

4 يُسْرِعُونَ مُتَأَهِّبِينَ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ إِثْماً. فَانْهَضْ لإِغَاثَتِي وَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي.

5 O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah

5 وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ وَإِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، اسْتَيْقِظْ وَحَاسِبِ الأُمَمَ حِسَاباً عَسِيراً وَلَا تَتَرَأَّفْ بِالْغَادِرِ الأَثِيمِ

6 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

6 يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ، يَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ.

7 See what they spew from their mouths—sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”

7 تَفِيضُ أَفْوَاهُهُمْ سُوءاً. (أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ) كَسُيُوفٍ حَادَّةٍ بَيْنَ شِفَاهِهِمْ، قَائِلِينَ: «مَنْ يَسْمَعُنَا؟»

8 But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

8 لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَضْحَكُ مِنْهُمْ. تَسْتَهْزِئُ بِجَمِيعِ الأُمَمِ.

9 I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

9 يَا قُوَّتِي إِيَّاكَ أَتَرَجَّى، لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ.

10 My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.

10 إِلَهِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ يُوَافِينِي. وَيُرِينِي هَزِيمَةَ أَعْدَائِي.

11 Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

11 لَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّمَا اجْعَلْهُمْ عِبْرَةً لِئَلّا يَنْسَى شَعْبِي، بَلْ بَدِّدْهُمْ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَاطْرَحْهُمْ أَرْضاً أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ حَامِينَا،

12 By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

12 جَزَاءَ خَطِيئَةِ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَكَلامِ شِفَاهِهِمْ. لِيَسْقُطُوا فِي فَخِّ كِبْرِيَائِهِمْ لِقَاءَ مَا يَنْطِقُونَ بِهِ مِنَ اللَّعْنَاتِ وَالْكَذِبِ.

13 Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

13 أَفْنِهِمْ فِي غَضَبِكَ وَاسْتَأْصِلْهُمْ فَتُدْرِكَ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ أَنَّ اللهَ يَسُودُ عَلَى بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ.

14 They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.

14 يَرْجِعُونَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ الْكِلابِ وَيَطُوفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ.

15 They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

15 يَهِيمُونَ مُتَشَرِّدِينَ طَلَباً لِلطَّعَامِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَشْبَعُوا يُدَمْدِمُونَ.

16 But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

16 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَرَنَّمُ بِقُوَّتِكَ. أَتَهَلَّلُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ لِرَحْمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ لِي حِصْناً مَنِيعاً وَمَلْجَأً فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي.

17 To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

17 لَكَ أُسَبِّحُ يَا قُوَّتِي لأَنَّ اللهَ مَلْجَإِي. إِلَهُ رَحْمَتِي.
