Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.

He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!

They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves.

My heart is steadfast, God. My heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.

Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

لإِمامِ الغِناء. «لا تُدَمِّر». لِداود. بِصَوتٍ خافِت. عِندَما هَرَبَ مِن وَجهِ شاولَ إِلى المغارة

إِرحَمْني يا أَللهُ ٱرحَمْني فإِنَّ نَفْسي بِكَ ٱعتَصَمَت. بِظِلِّ جَناحَيكَ أَعتَصِم إِلى أَن تَعبُرَ المُصيبَة

أَدْعو الإِلٰهَ العَلِيَّ الإِلٰهَ الَّذي أَتَمَّها علَيَّ

فلْيُرسِلْ مِنَ السَّماءِ ويُخَلِّصْني ويُخْزِ مَن يُرهِقُني. سِلاه. لِيُرسِلِ اللهُ رَحمَتَه وحَقَّه

نَفْسي بَينَ الأُسودِ مُضَّجِعة الأُسودِ الَّتي تَفتَرِسُ بَني آدَم. أَنْيابُها رِماحٌ وسِهام أَلسِنَتُها سُيوفٌ حادَّة

أَللَّهُمَّ ٱرتَفِعْ على السَّمَوات ولْيَكُنْ مَجدُكَ على الأَرضِ كُلِّها

نَصَبوا شِباكًا لِخَطَواتي فرَزَحَت نَفْسي. حَفَروا أَمامي هُوَّةً فوَقَعوا فيها. سِلاه

قَلْبي مُستَعِدٌّ يا أَلله قَلْبي مُستَعِدٌّ. إِنِّي أُنشِدُ وأَعزِف

إِستَيقِظْ يا مَجْدي إِستَيقِظْ أَيُّها العودُ والكِنَّارة سأُوقِظُ السَّحَر

أَحمَدُكَ أَيُّها السَّيِّدُ في الشُّعوب وأَعزِفُ لَكَ في الأُمَم

فقَد عَظُمَت رَحمَتُكَ إِلى السَّمَوات وحَقُّكَ إِلى الغُيوم

اِرتَفِعْ أَللَّهُمَّ على السَّمَوات ولْيَكُنْ مَجدُكَ على الأَرضِ كُلِّها
