¹لامام المغنين. مزمور لداود‎. ‎استمع يا الله صوتي في شكواي. من خوف العدو احفظ حياتي‎.

¹To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

²‎استرني من مؤامرة الاشرار من جمهور فاعلي الاثم

²Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

³الذين صقلوا ألسنتهم كالسيف. فوّقوا سهمهم كلاما مرّا

³Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow — a bitter word.

⁴ليرموا الكامل في المختفى بغتة يرمونه ولا يخشون‎.

⁴To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

⁵‎يشددون انفسهم لامر رديء. يتحادثون بطمر فخاخ. قالوا من يراهم

⁵They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?`

⁶يخترعون اثما تمموا اختراعا محكما. وداخل الانسان وقلبه عميق

⁶They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,` And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.

⁷فيرميهم الله بسهم بغتة كانت ضربتهم‎.

⁷And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

⁸‎ويوقعون السنتهم على انفسهم. ينغض الراس كل من ينظر اليهم‎.

⁸And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

⁹‎ويخشى كل انسان ويخبر بفعل الله وبعمله يفطنون‎.

⁹And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

¹⁰‎يفرح الصدّيق بالرب ويحتمي به ويبتهج كل المستقيمي القلوب

¹⁰The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
