Psalms 12

خَلِّصْ يَا رَبُّ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَرَضَ التَّقِيُّ، لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ الأُمَنَاءُ مِنْ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ.

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ، بِشِفَاهٍ مَلِقَةٍ، بِقَلْبٍ فَقَلْبٍ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

يَقْطَعُ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ الشِّفَاهِ الْمَلِقَةِ وَاللِّسَانَ الْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِالْعَظَائِمِ،

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

الَّذِينَ قَالُوا: «بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا نَتَجَبَّرُ. شِفَاهُنَا مَعَنَا. مَنْ هُوَ سَيِّدٌ عَلَيْنَا؟ ».

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

«مِنِ اغْتِصَابِ الْمَسَاكِينِ، مِنْ صَرْخَةِ الْبَائِسِينَ، الآنَ أَقُومُ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، أَجْعَلُ فِي وُسْعٍ الَّذِي يُنْفَثُ فِيهِ».

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

كَلاَمُ الرَّبِّ كَلاَمٌ نَقِيٌّ، كَفِضَّةٍ مُصَفَّاةٍ فِي بُوطَةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ، مَمْحُوصَةٍ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ.

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَحْفَظُهُمْ. تَحْرُسُهُمْ مِنْ هذَا الْجِيلِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ.

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

الأَشْرَارُ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ الأَرْذَالِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
