¹صلاة لداود‎. ‎اسمع يا رب للحق. انصت الى صراخي اصغ الى صلاتي من شفتين بلا غش‎.

¹A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; Give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

²‎من قدامك يخرج قضائي. عيناك تنظران المستقيمات‎.

²Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity.

³‎جربت قلبي تعهدته ليلا. محصتني. لا تجد فيّ ذموما. لا يتعدى فمي‎.

³Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

⁴‎من جهة اعمال الناس فبكلام شفتيك انا تحفظت من طرق المعتنف‏‎.

⁴As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.

⁵‎تمسكت خطواتي بآثارك فما زلت قدماي

⁵My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.

⁶انا دعوتك لانك تستجيب لي يا الله. امل اذنك اليّ. اسمع كلامي

⁶I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: Incline thine ear unto me, [and] hear my speech.

⁷ميّز مراحمك يا مخلّص المتكلين عليك بيمينك من المقاومين‎.

⁷Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that take refuge [in thee ]From those that rise up [against them].

⁸‎احفظني مثل حدقة العين. بظل جناحيك استرني

⁸Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁹من وجه الاشرار الذين يخربونني اعدائي بالنفس الذين يكتنفونني‎.

⁹From the wicked that oppress me, My deadly enemies, that compass me about.

¹⁰‎قلبهم السمين قد اغلقوا. بافواههم قد تكلموا بالكبرياء‎.

¹⁰They are inclosed in their own fat: With their mouth they speak proudly.

¹¹‎في خطواتنا الآن قد احاطوا بنا. نصبوا اعينهم ليزلقونا الى الارض‎.

¹¹They have now compassed us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast [us] down to the earth.

¹²‎مثله مثل الاسد القرم الى الافتراس وكالشبل الكامن في عرّيسه

¹²He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, And as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

¹³قم يا رب تقدمه. اصرعه. نج نفسي من الشرير بسيفك

¹³Arise, O Jehovah, Confront him, cast him down: Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;

¹⁴من الناس بيدك يا رب من اهل الدنيا. نصيبهم في حياتهم‎. ‎بذخائرك تملأ بطونهم. يشبعون اولادا ويتركون فضالتهم لاطفالهم‎.

¹⁴From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

¹⁵‎اما انا فبالبر انظر وجهك. اشبع اذا استيقظت بشبهك

¹⁵As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with [beholding] thy form.
