Psalm 143 143 Psalms Book 5 Arabic Literal Text 1 GLT يَا رَبُّ، ٱسْمَعْ صَلَاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى تَضَرُّعَاتِي. بِأَمَانَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِعَدْلِكَ. BSB BSB: A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer. In Your faithfulness, give ear to my plea; in Your righteousness, answer me.
2 GLT وَلَا تَدْخُلْ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَتَبَرَّرَ قُدَّامَكَ حَيٌّ. BSB BSB: Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.
3 GLT لِأَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ قَدِ ٱضْطَهَدَ نَفْسِي. سَحَقَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي. أَجْلَسَنِي فِي ٱلظُّلُمَاتِ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَوْتَى مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ. BSB BSB: For the enemy has pursued my soul, crushing my life to the ground, making me dwell in darkness like those long since dead.
4 GLT أَعْيَتْ فِيَّ رُوحِي. تَحَيَّرَ فِي دَاخِلِي قَلْبِي. BSB BSB: My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is dismayed inside me.
5 GLT تَذَكَّرْتُ أَيَّامَ ٱلْقِدَمِ. لَهِجْتُ بِكُلِّ أَعْمَالِكَ. بِصَنَائِعِ يَدَيْكَ أَتَأَمَّلُ. BSB BSB: I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I consider the work of Your hands.
6 GLT بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَدَيَّ، نَفْسِي نَحْوَكَ كَأَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ. سِلَاهْ. BSB BSB: I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Selah
7 GLT أَسْرِعْ أَجِبْنِي يَا رَبُّ. فَنِيَتْ رُوحِي. لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي، فَأُشْبِهَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ. BSB BSB: Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
8 GLT أَسْمِعْنِي رَحْمَتَكَ فِي ٱلْغَدَاةِ، لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. عَرِّفْنِي ٱلطَّرِيقَ ٱلَّتِي أَسْلُكُ فِيهَا، لِأَنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَفَعْتُ نَفْسِي. BSB BSB: Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
9 GLT أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي يَا رَبُّ. إِلَيْكَ ٱلْتَجَأْتُ. BSB BSB: Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
10 GLT عَلِّمْنِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ رِضَاكَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي. رُوحُكَ ٱلصَّالِحُ يَهْدِينِي فِي أَرْضٍ مُسْتَوِيَةٍ. BSB BSB: Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11 GLT مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ يَا رَبُّ تُحْيِينِي. بِعَدْلِكَ تُخْرِجُ مِنَ ٱلضِّيقِ نَفْسِي، BSB BSB: For the sake of Your name, O LORD, revive me. In Your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 GLT وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ تَسْتَأْصِلُ أَعْدَائِي، وَتُبِيدُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِي نَفْسِي، لِأَنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ. BSB BSB: And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.
