Psalm 56 – NIRV & NAV

New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 56:1-13

Psalm 56

For the director of music. A miktam of David after the Philistines had captured him in Gath. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oak Trees.”

1Help me, God. Men are chasing me.

All day long they keep attacking me.

2My enemies chase me all day long.

Many proud people are attacking me.

3When I’m afraid,

I put my trust in you.

4I trust in God. I praise his word.

I trust in God. I am not afraid.

What can mere people do to me?

5All day long they twist my words.

They are always making plans to destroy me.

6They get together and hide.

They watch my steps.

They hope to kill me.

7Because they are so evil, make sure you don’t let them escape.

God, bring down the nations in your anger.

8Make a record of my sadness.

List my tears in your book.

Aren’t you making a record of them?

9My enemies will turn back

when I call out to you for help.

Then I will know that God is on my side.

10I trust in God. I praise his word.

I trust in the Lord. I praise his word.

11I trust in God. I am not afraid.

What can mere people do to me?

12God, I have made promises to you.

I will bring my thank offerings to you.

13You have saved me from the darkness of death.

You have kept me from tripping and falling.

Now I can live with you

in the light of life.

مزمور 56:1-13

الْمَزْمُورُ السَّادِسُ وَالْخَمْسُونَ

لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْحَمَامَةِ الْبَكْمَاءِ فِي الأَمْاكِنِ الْبَعِيدَةِ. قَصِيدَةٌ ذَهَبِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ فِي جَتَّ

1ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يَجِدُّ فِي مُطَارَدَتِي لاِفْتِرَاسِي. يُحَارِبُنِي الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ وَيُضَايِقُنِي. 2يَتَرَبَّصُ بِي أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ لاِبْتِلاعِي، وَمَا أَكْثَرَ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءِ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ. 3فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ. 4تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ الَّذِي أَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى كَلامِهِ، فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الْبَشَرُ؟ 5يُحَرِّفُ أَعْدَائِي طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ كَلامِي. كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ تَتَآمَرُ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَيَّ. 6يَتَجَمَّعُونَ عَلَيَّ وَيَكْمُنُونَ لِي. يَتَرَصَّدُونَ خُطْوَاتِي وَيَبْتَغُونَ نَفْسِي. 7عَاقِبْهُمْ يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى إِثْمِهِمْ. أَخْضِعْ بِغَضَبِكَ الشُّعُوبَ يَا اللهُ. 8أَنْتَ رَاقَبْتَ تَشَرُّدِي. فَاحْفَظْ دُمُوعِي فِي خَزَانَتِكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي كِتَابِكَ؟

9عِنْدَمَا أَدْعُوكَ يَتَقَهْقَرُ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. وَهَذَا مَا تَيَقَّنْتُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ اللهَ مَعِي. 10أَحْمَدُ اللهَ عَلَى كَلامِهِ. أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ عَلَى كَلامِهِ. 11عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ بِي الإِنْسَانُ؟ 12يَا رَبُّ إِنِّي أُوْفِي مَا عَلَيَّ مِنْ نُذُورٍ، وَأُقَرِّبُ لَكَ ذَبَائِحَ الشُّكْرِ. 13لأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، وَحَفِظْتَ رِجْلَيَّ مِنَ الزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسْلُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي نُورِ الْحَيَاةِ.
