¹شجوية لداود غناها للرب بسبب كلام كوش البنياميني‏‎. ‎يا رب الهي عليك توكلت. خلصني من كل الذين يطردونني ونجني‎.

¹Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehova, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

²‎لئلا يفترس كاسد نفسي هاشما اياها ولا منقذ

²Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

³يا رب الهي ان كنت قد فعلت هذا ان وجد ظلم في يديّ

³O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴ان كافأت مسالمي شرا وسلبت مضايقي بلا سبب

⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

⁵فليطارد عدو نفسي وليدركها وليدس الى الارض حياتي وليحط الى التراب مجدي. سلاه

⁵Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶قم يا رب بغضبك ارتفع على سخط مضايقيّ وانتبه لي. بالحق اوصيت‎.

⁶Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

⁷‎ومجمع القبائل يحيط بك فعد فوقها الى العلى‎.

⁷And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

⁸‎الرب يدين الشعوب. اقض لي يا رب كحقي ومثل كمالي الذي فيّ‎.

⁸Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹‎لينته شر الاشرار وثبت الصدّيق. فان فاحص القلوب والكلى الله البار‎.

⁹O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

¹⁰‎ترسي عند الله مخلّص مستقيمي القلوب

¹⁰My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹الله قاض عادل واله يسخط في كل يوم‎.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.

¹²‎ان لم يرجع يحدد سيفه. مدّ قوسه وهيّأها‎.

¹²If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹³‎وسدد نحوه آلة الموت. يجعل سهامه ملتهبة

¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].

¹⁴هوذا يمخض بالاثم. حمل تعبا وولد كذبا‎.

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵‎كرا جبّا. حفره فسقط في الهوة التي صنع‎.

¹⁵He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶‎يرجع تعبه على راسه وعلى هامته يهبط ظلمه‎.

¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁷‎احمد الرب حسب بره. وارنم لاسم الرب العلي

¹⁷I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
