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 أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَا إِلَهِي. مِنْ مُقَاوِمِيَّ ٱحْمِنِي.

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

2 نَجِّنِي مِنْ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ، وَمِنْ رِجَالِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ خَلِّصْنِي،

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 لِأَنَّهُمْ يَكْمِنُونَ لِنَفْسِي. ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءُ يَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيَّ، لَا لِإِثْمِي وَلَا لِخَطِيَّتِي يَارَبُّ.

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

4 بِلَا إِثْمٍ مِنِّي يَجْرُونَ وَيُعِدُّونَ أَنْفُسَهُمُ. ٱسْتَيْقِظْ إِلَى لِقَائِي وَٱنْظُرْ!

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 يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱنْتَبِهْ لِتُطَالِبَ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ. كُلَّ غَادِرٍ أَثِيمٍ لَا تَرْحَمْ. سِلَاهْ.

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

6 يَعُودُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ ٱلْكَلْبِ، وَيَدُورُونَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

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

7 هُوَذَا يُبِقُّونَ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ. سُيُوفٌ فِي شِفَاهِهِمْ. لِأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «مَنْ سَامِعٌ؟».

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

8 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَتَضْحَكُ بِهِمْ. تَسْتَهْزِئُ بِجَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

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

9 مِنْ قُوَّتِهِ، إِلَيْكَ أَلْتَجِئُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَلْجَإِي.

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

10 إِلَهِي رَحْمَتُهُ تَتَقَدَّمُنِي. ٱللهُ يُرِينِي بِأَعْدَائِي.

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 لِئَلَّا يَنْسَى شَعْبِي. تَيِّهْهُمْ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَأَهْبِطْهُمْ يَارَبُّ تُرْسَنَا.

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 خَطِيَّةُ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ هِيَ كَلَامُ شِفَاهِهِمْ. وَلْيُؤْخَذُوا بِكِبْرِيَائِهِمْ، وَمِنَ ٱللَّعْنَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلْكَذِبِ ٱلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُونَ بِهِ.

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 أَفْنِ، بِحَنَقٍ أَفْنِ، وَلَا يَكُونُوا، وَلْيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ ٱللهَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ فِي يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. سِلَاهْ.

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

14 وَيَعُودُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. يَهِرُّونَ مِثْلَ ٱلْكَلْبِ، وَيَدُورُونَ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

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

15 هُمْ يَتِيهُونَ لِلْأَكْلِ. إِنْ لَمْ يَشْبَعُوا وَيَبِيتُوا.

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 فَأُغَنِّي بِقُوَّتِكَ، وَأُرَنِّمُ بِٱلْغَدَاةِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لِي، وَمَنَاصًا 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 يَا قُوَّتِي لَكَ أُرَنِّمُ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَلْجَإِي، إِلَهُ رَحْمَتِي.
