| 1 اِحْفَظْنِي يَا اَللهُ لأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. | 1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. |
|
| 2 قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لاَ شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ». | 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; |
|
| 3 الْقِدِّيسُونَ الَّذِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ. | 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. |
|
| 4 تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لاَ أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلاَ أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ. | 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. |
|
| 5 الرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي. | 5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. |
|
6 حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِي فِي النُّعَمَاءِ، فَالْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي.  | 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. |
|
| 7 أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ الَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِاللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ. | 7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. |
|
| 8 جَعَلْتُ الرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلاَ أَتَزَعْزَعُ. | 8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. |
|
| 9 لِذلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَابْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا. | 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. |
|
| 10 لأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي الْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا. | 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
|
| 11 تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ الْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. |
