اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 101

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

“By David, a psalm.” Of kindness and justice will I sing: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing praises.

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

I will carefully regard the way of the perfect: oh when will thou come unto me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

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

I will not set before my eyes a godless thing; to commit a departure [from righteousness] do I hate; it shall not cleave to me.

٤ 4 قَلْبٌ مُعْوَجٌّ يَبْعُدُ عَنِّي. ٱلشِّرِّيرُ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ.

A perverse heart shall depart from me: evil will I not know.

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

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbor, him will I destroy: whoso hath proud eyes and a haughty heart, him will I not suffer.

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

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may abide with me: he that walketh in the way of the perfect, he it is that shall serve me.

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

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehoods shall not succeed before my eyes.

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

Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land, cutting off from the city of the Lord all the wrong-doers.
