¹Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

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

²lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

²‎لئلا يفترس كاسد نفسي هاشما اياها ولا منقذ

³Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

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

⁴if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

⁴ان كافأت مسالمي شرا وسلبت مضايقي بلا سبب

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

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

⁶Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

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

⁷Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

⁷‎ومجمع القبائل يحيط بك فعد فوقها الى العلى‎.

⁸Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

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

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

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

¹⁰My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

¹⁰‎ترسي عند الله مخلّص مستقيمي القلوب

¹¹God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

¹¹الله قاض عادل واله يسخط في كل يوم‎.

¹²If a man doesn’t relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

¹²‎ان لم يرجع يحدد سيفه. مدّ قوسه وهيّأها‎.

¹³He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

¹³‎وسدد نحوه آلة الموت. يجعل سهامه ملتهبة

¹⁴Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁴هوذا يمخض بالاثم. حمل تعبا وولد كذبا‎.

¹⁵He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

¹⁵‎كرا جبّا. حفره فسقط في الهوة التي صنع‎.

¹⁶The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

¹⁶‎يرجع تعبه على راسه وعلى هامته يهبط ظلمه‎.

¹⁷I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.

¹⁷‎احمد الرب حسب بره. وارنم لاسم الرب العلي
