Psalms 12

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

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

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

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

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

يَقْطَعُ الرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ الشِّفَاهِ الْمَلِقَةِ وَاللِّسَانَ الْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِالْعَظَائِمِ،

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

الأَشْرَارُ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ الأَرْذَالِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ.
