اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 107

١ 1 اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ.

Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.

٢ 2 لِيَقُلْ مَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلَّذِينَ فَدَاهُمْ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ،

Let them, which haue bene redeemed of the Lord, shewe how he hath deliuered them from the hand of the oppressour,

٣ 3 وَمِنَ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ جَمَعَهُمْ، مِنَ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَمِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ، مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ.

And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South.

٤ 4 تَاهُوا فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي قَفْرٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. لَمْ يَجِدُوا مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ.

When they wandered in the desert and wildernesse out of the waie, and founde no citie to dwell in,

٥ 5 جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ.

Both hungrie and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.

٦ 6 فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ،

Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse,

And led them forth by the right way, that they might goe to a citie of habitation.

Let them therefore confesse before ye Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا،

For he satisfied the thirstie soule, and filled the hungrie soule with goodnesse.

١٠ 10 ٱلْجُلُوسَ فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِٱلذُّلِّ وَٱلْحَدِيدِ.

They that dwell in darkenesse and in the shadowe of death, being bounde in miserie and yron,

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلَامَ ٱللهِ، وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

Because they rebelled against the wordes of the Lord, and despised the counsell of the most High,

١٢ 12 فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ.

When he humbled their heart with heauines, then they fell downe and there was no helper.

Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse.

He brought them out of darkenes, and out of the shadowe of death, and brake their bandes asunder.

Let them therefore cofesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.

For hee hath broken the gates of brasse, and brast the barres of yron asunder.

١٧ 17 وَٱلْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ، وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ.

Fooles by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.

Their soule abhorreth al meat, and they are brought to deaths doore.

He sendeth his worde and healeth them, and deliuereth them from their graues.

And let them offer sacrifices of praise, and declare his workes with reioycing.

٢٣ 23 اَلنَّازِلُونَ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ فِي ٱلسُّفُنِ، ٱلْعَامِلُونَ عَمَلًا فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ،

They that goe downe to the sea in ships, and occupie by the great waters,

For he commaundeth and raiseth the stormie winde, and it lifteth vp the waues thereof.

٢٦ 26 يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْأَعْمَاقِ. ذَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِٱلشَّقَاءِ.

They mount vp to the heauen, and descend to ye deepe, so that their soule melteth for trouble.

٢٧ 27 يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ٱبْتُلِعَتْ.

They are tossed to and from, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their cunning is gone.

Then they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresse.

He turneth the storme to calme, so that the waues thereof are still.
