Psalm 56 56 Psalms Book 2 Arabic Literal Text 1 GLT اِرْحَمْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ يَتَهَمَّمُنِي، وَٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ مُحَارِبًا يُضَايِقُنِي. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.
2 GLT تَهَمَّمَنِي أَعْدَائِي ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي بِكِبْرِيَاءَ. BSB BSB: My enemies pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.
3 GLT فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي، أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ. BSB BSB: When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
4 GLT ٱللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. عَلَى ٱللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي ٱلْبَشَرُ؟ BSB BSB: In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
5 GLT ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يُحَرِّفُونَ كَلَامِي. عَلَيَّ كُلُّ أَفْكَارِهِمْ بِٱلشَّرِّ. BSB BSB: All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.
6 GLT يَجْتَمِعُونَ، يَخْتَفُونَ، يُلَاحِظُونَ خُطُواتِي عِنْدَمَا تَرَصَّدُوا نَفْسِي. BSB BSB: They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
7 GLT عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ جَازِهِمْ. بِغَضَبٍ أَخْضِعِٱلشُّعُوبَ يَا ٱللهُ. BSB BSB: In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
8 GLT تَيَهَانِي رَاقَبْتَ. ٱجْعَلْ أَنْتَ دُمُوعِي فِي زِقِّكَ. أَمَا هِيَ فِي سِفْرِكَ؟ BSB BSB: You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle—are they not in Your book?
9 GLT حِينَئِذٍ تَرْتَدُّ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ فِي يَوْمٍ أَدْعُوكَ فِيهِ. هَذَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ لِي. BSB BSB: Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.
10 GLT ٱللهُ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ أَفْتَخِرُ بِكَلَامِهِ. BSB BSB: In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11 GLT عَلَى ٱللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُهُ بِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ BSB BSB: in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
12 GLT اَللَّهُمَّ، عَلَيَّ نُذُورُكَ. أُوفِي ذَبَائِحَ شُكْرٍ لَكَ. BSB BSB: Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.
13 GLT لِأَنَّكَ نَجَّيْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. نَعَمْ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ، لِكَيْ أَسِيرَ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ فِي نُورِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. BSB BSB: For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
