صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 22
| وَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ، | ١ 1 |
After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
| فَقَالَ: «اَلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي، | ٢ 2 |
[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
| إِلَهُ صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي. مَلْجَإِي وَمَنَاصِي. مُخَلِّصِي، مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ تُخَلِّصُنِي. | ٣ 3 |
Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
| أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. | ٤ 4 |
I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
| لِأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي. | ٥ 5 |
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
| حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. شُرُكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَصَابَتْنِي. (Sheol h7585) | ٦ 6 |
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
| فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. | ٧ 7 |
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
| فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ. أُسُسُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ، لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ. | ٨ 8 |
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
| صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ. | ٩ 9 |
[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
| طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
| رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ، وَطَارَ وَرُئِيَ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ. | ١١ 11 |
You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
| جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّاتٍ، مِيَاهًا حَاشِكَةً وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ. | ١٢ 12 |
The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
| مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
| أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
| أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
| فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
| أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي، نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
| أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ ٱلْقَوِيِّ، مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي. | ١٨ 18 |
You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.
| أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي. | ١٩ 19 |
They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
| أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرَّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
| يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ. | ٢١ 21 |
“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
| لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
| لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضُهُ لَا أَحِيدُ عَنْهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
| وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ٢٤ 24 |
You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
| فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
| «مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا. | ٢٦ 26 |
“Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
| مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure, but you are hostile to those who are perverse/wicked.
| وَتُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
You rescue those who are humble, but you watch [MTY] those who are proud and humiliate them.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي. | ٢٩ 29 |
Yahweh, you are [like] [MET] a lamp that causes it to become light when I am in the dark.
| لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا. | ٣٠ 30 |
With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
| ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ، وَقَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
“My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.
| لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ غَيْرُ إِلَهِنَا؟ | ٣٢ 32 |
Yahweh, you are [RHQ] the only one who is God; only you are like a huge rock [MET] [under which we are protected/safe].
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا. | ٣٣ 33 |
God, you [whom I worship] are a strong refuge for me; you keep me safe on the roads that I [walk on].
| ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي | ٣٤ 34 |
[When I walk] in the mountains, you enable me to walk safely, without stumbling [MET] like a deer runs.
| ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. | ٣٥ 35 |
You teach me [how to fight] in a battle in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
| وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي. | ٣٦ 36 |
[It is as though] [MET] you have given me a shield by which you have saved/rescued me, and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous/great.
| تُوَسِّعُ خَطْوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ. | ٣٧ 37 |
You have not allowed [my enemies] to capture me [IDM], and I have not fallen down [during battles].
| أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ. | ٣٨ 38 |
“pursued my enemies and defeated them; I did not stop [fighting them] until they were all killed.
| أُفْنِيهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَقُومُونَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
I struck them down; I stabbed them with my sword; they fell down at my feet and did not stand up again.
| «تُنَطِّقُنِي قُوَّةً لِلْقِتَالِ، وَتَصْرَعُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ تَحْتِي. | ٤٠ 40 |
You have given me strength for fighting battles and caused those who were attacking me to fall down, and I trampled on them.
| وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
You caused my enemies to turn and run away from me; I destroyed those who hated me.
| يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
They (looked for/wanted) someone to rescue them, but no one did. They cried out to you, Yahweh, [for help, ] but you did not answer them.
| فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ. | ٤٣ 43 |
I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.
| وَتُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ شَعْبِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
“You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).
| بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي. | ٤٥ 45 |
Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.
| بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ. | ٤٦ 46 |
They became afraid, and they came to me, trembling, from the places where they were hiding.
| حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفَعٌ إِلَهُ صَخْرَةِ خَلَاصِي. | ٤٧ 47 |
“Yahweh, you are alive! I praise you! You are like [MET] a [huge overhanging] rock under which I am safe/protected! You are the one who rescues me [MET]. Everyone should exalt/honor/praise you.
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي، | ٤٨ 48 |
You enable me to conquer my enemies; you cause people of [other] nations to be (under my authority/my slaves).
| وَٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَعْدَائِي، وَيَرْفَعُنِي فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ. | ٤٩ 49 |
You delivered me from my enemies; you caused me to be honored more than they were; you rescued me from men who [always] acted violently.
| لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِٱسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ. | ٥٠ 50 |
Because of all that, I exalt you among many people-groups and I sing to praise you.
| بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ». | ٥١ 51 |
You enable me, whom you appointed to be king, to powerfully conquer [my enemies]; you faithfully love me, David, and you will love my descendants forever.
