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

¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

²‎استرني من مؤامرة الاشرار من جمهور فاعلي الاثم

²Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

³الذين صقلوا ألسنتهم كالسيف. فوّقوا سهمهم كلاما مرّا

³Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

⁴ليرموا الكامل في المختفى بغتة يرمونه ولا يخشون‎.

⁴That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

⁵They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

⁶يخترعون اثما تمموا اختراعا محكما. وداخل الانسان وقلبه عميق

⁶They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

⁷فيرميهم الله بسهم بغتة كانت ضربتهم‎.

⁷But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

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

⁸By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

⁹‎ويخشى كل انسان ويخبر بفعل الله وبعمله يفطنون‎.

⁹And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

¹⁰‎يفرح الصدّيق بالرب ويحتمي به ويبتهج كل المستقيمي القلوب

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
