Psalms 56

Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

اِرْحَمْنِي يَا اَللهُ لأَنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَتَهَمَّمُنِي، وَالْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ مُحَارِبًا يُضَايِقُنِي.

Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

تَهَمَّمَنِي أَعْدَائِي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءَ.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي، أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

اَللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلاَمِهِ. عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلاَ أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟

Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.

الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يُحَرِّفُونَ كَلاَمِي. عَلَيَّ كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ بِالشَّرِّ.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.

يَجْتَمِعُونَ، يَخْتَفُونَ، يُلاَحِظُونَ خُطُواتِي عِنْدَمَا تَرَصَّدُوا نَفْسِي.

Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ جَازِهِمْ. بِغَضَبٍ أَخْضِعِالشُّعُوبَ يَا اَللهُ.

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

تَيَهَانِي رَاقَبْتَ. اجْعَلْ أَنْتَ دُمُوعِي فِي زِقِّكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي سِفْرِكَ؟

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

حِينَئِذٍ تَرْتَدُّ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ فِي يَوْمٍ أَدْعُوكَ فِيهِ. هذَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ لأَنَّ اللهَ لِي.

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

اَللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلاَمِهِ. الرَّبُّ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلاَمِهِ.

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلاَ أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي الإِنْسَانُ؟

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

اَللَّهُمَّ، عَلَيَّ نُذُورُكَ. أُوفِي ذَبَائِحَ شُكْرٍ لَكَ.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

لأَنَّكَ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. نَعَمْ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسِيرَ قُدَّامَ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الأَحْيَاءِ.
