Psalms 141

يَا رَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ صَرَخْتُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. أَصْغِ إِلَى صَوْتِي عِنْدَ مَا أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ.

LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

لِتَسْتَقِمْ صَلاَتِي كَالْبَخُورِ قُدَّامَكَ. لِيَكُنْ رَفْعُ يَدَيَّ كَذَبِيحَةٍ مَسَائِيَّةٍ.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

اجْعَلْ يَا رَبُّ حَارِسًا لِفَمِي. احْفَظْ بَابَ شَفَتَيَّ.

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

لاَ تُمِلْ قَلْبِي إِلَى أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ، لأَتَعَلَّلَ بِعِلَلِ الشَّرِّ مَعَ أُنَاسٍ فَاعِلِي إِثْمٍ، وَلاَ آكُلْ مِنْ نَفَائِسِهِمْ.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

لِيَضْرِبْنِي الصِّدِّيقُ فَرَحْمَةٌ، وَلْيُوَبِّخْنِي فَزَيْتٌ لِلرَّأْسِ. لاَ يَأْبَى رَأْسِي. لأَنَّ صَلاَتِي بَعْدُ فِي مَصَائِبِهِمْ.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

قَدِ انْطَرَحَ قُضَاتُهُمْ مِنْ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، وَسَمِعُوا كَلِمَاتِي لأَنَّهَا لَذِيذَةٌ.

When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

كَمَنْ يَفْلَحُ وَيَشُقُّ الأَرْضَ، تَبَدَّدَتْ عِظَامُنَا عِنْدَ فَمِ الْهَاوِيَةِ.

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

لأَنَّهُ إِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدُ يَا رَبُّ عَيْنَايَ. بِكَ احْتَمَيْتُ. لاَ تُفْرِغْ نَفْسِي.

But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الْفَخِّ الَّذِي قَدْ نَصَبُوهُ لِي، وَمِنْ أَشْرَاكِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ.

Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

لِيَسْقُطِ الأَشْرَارُ فِي شِبَاكِهِمْ حَتَّى أَنْجُوَ أَنَا بِالْكُلِّيَّةِ.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
