اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 103

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ، وَكُلُّ مَا فِي بَاطِنِي لِيُبَارِكِ ٱسْمَهُ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ.

Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.

٢ 2 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ، وَلَا تَنْسَيْ كُلَّ حَسَنَاتِهِ.

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.

٣ 3 ٱلَّذِي يَغْفِرُ جَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِكِ. ٱلَّذِي يَشْفِي كُلَّ أَمْرَاضِكِ.

He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

٤ 4 ٱلَّذِي يَفْدِي مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ حَيَاتَكِ. ٱلَّذِي يُكَلِّلُكِ بِٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَٱلرَّأْفَةِ.

He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِي يُشْبِعُ بِٱلْخَيْرِ عُمْرَكِ، فَيَتَجَدَّدُ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّسْرِ شَبَابُكِ.

He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.

٦ 6 اَلرَّبُّ مُجْرِي ٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْقَضَاءِ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمَظْلُومِينَ.

The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.

٧ 7 عَرَّفَ مُوسَى طُرُقَهُ، وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَفْعَالَهُ.

He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.

٨ 8 ٱلرَّبُّ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، طَوِيلُ ٱلرُّوحِ وَكَثِيرُ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ.

The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.

٩ 9 لَا يُحَاكِمُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يَحْقِدُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.

١٠ 10 لَمْ يَصْنَعْ مَعَنَا حَسَبَ خَطَايَانَا، وَلَمْ يُجَازِنَا حَسَبَ آثَامِنَا.

He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ مِثْلُ ٱرْتِفَاعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَوْقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَوِيَتْ رَحْمَتُهُ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ.

For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.

١٢ 12 كَبُعْدِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ أَبْعَدَ عَنَّا مَعَاصِيَنَا.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.

١٣ 13 كَمَا يَتَرَأَفُ ٱلْأَبُ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ يَتَرَأَفُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ.

As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ جِبْلَتَنَا. يَذْكُرُ أَنَّنَا تُرَابٌ نَحْنُ.

For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.

١٥ 15 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ أَيَّامُهُ. كَزَهَرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ كَذَلِكَ يُزْهِرُ.

As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ رِيحًا تَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَا يَكُونُ، وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ مَوْضِعُهُ بَعْدُ.

The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.

١٧ 17 أَمَّا رَحْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ، وَعَدْلُهُ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْبَنِينَ،

But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

١٨ 18 لِحَافِظِي عَهْدِهِ وَذَاكِرِي وَصَايَاهُ لِيَعْمَلُوهَا.

If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.

١٩ 19 اَلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ثَبَّتَ كُرْسِيَّهُ، وَمَمْلَكَتُهُ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ تَسُودُ.

The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.

٢٠ 20 بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا مَلَائِكَتَهُ ٱلْمُقْتَدِرِينَ قُوَّةً، ٱلْفَاعِلِينَ أَمْرَهُ عِنْدَ سَمَاعِ صَوْتِ كَلَامِهِ.

Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.

٢١ 21 بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ جُنُودِهِ، خُدَّامَهُ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ مَرْضَاتَهُ.

Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; and you his servants who do his pleasure.

٢٢ 22 بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِهِ، فِي كُلِّ مَوَاضِعِ سُلْطَانِهِ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
