اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 101

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ رَحْمَةً وَحُكْمًا أُغَنِّي. لَكَ يَارَبُّ أُرَنِّمُ.

A psalm of David. I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.

٢ 2 أَتَعَقَّلُ فِي طَرِيقٍ كَامِلٍ. مَتَى تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ؟ أَسْلُكُ فِي كَمَالِ قَلْبِي فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِي.

I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.

٣ 3 لَا أَضَعُ قُدَّامَ عَيْنَيَّ أَمْرًا رَدِيئًا. عَمَلَ ٱلزَّيَغَانِ أَبْغَضْتُ. لَا يَلْصَقُ بِي.

I will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.

٤ 4 قَلْبٌ مُعْوَجٌّ يَبْعُدُ عَنِّي. ٱلشِّرِّيرُ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ.

I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِي يَغْتَابُ صَاحِبَهُ سِرًّا هَذَا أَقْطَعُهُ. مُسْتَكْبِرُ ٱلْعَيْنِ وَمُنْتَفِخُ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَا أَحْتَمِلُهُ.

I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

٦ 6 عَيْنَايَ عَلَى أُمَنَاءِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِكَيْ أُجْلِسَهُمْ مَعِي. ٱلسَّالِكُ طَرِيقًا كَامِلًا هُوَ يَخْدِمُنِي.

I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve me.

٧ 7 لَا يَسْكُنُ وَسَطَ بَيْتِي عَامِلُ غِشٍّ. ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ لَا يَثْبُتُ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيَّ.

No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.

٨ 8 بَاكِرًا أُبِيدُ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَقْطَعَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.

I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.
