اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 107

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

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

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

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

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.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

٥ 5 جِيَاعٌ عِطَاشٌ أَيْضًا أَعْيَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فِيهِمْ.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

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

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

٧ 7 وَهَدَاهُمْ طَرِيقًا مُسْتَقِيمًا لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ سَكَنٍ.

And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

٨ 8 فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

٩ 9 لِأَنَّهُ أَشْبَعَ نَفْسًا مُشْتَهِيَةً وَمَلَأَ نَفْسًا جَائِعَةً خَيْرًا،

For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

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

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُمْ عَصَوْا كَلَامَ ٱللهِ، وَأَهَانُوا مَشُورَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ.

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the most High:

١٢ 12 فَأَذَلَّ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِتَعَبٍ. عَثَرُوا وَلَا مَعِينَ.

Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

١٣ 13 ثُمَّ صَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ.

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

١٤ 14 أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَالِ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَقَطَّعَ قُيُودَهُمْ.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands asunder.

١٥ 15 فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ كَسَّرَ مَصَارِيعَ نُحَاسٍ، وَقَطَّعَ عَوَارِضَ حَدِيدٍ.

For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.

١٧ 17 وَٱلْجُهَّالُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ، وَمِنْ آثَامِهِمْ يُذَلُّونَ.

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

١٨ 18 كَرِهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ كُلَّ طَعَامٍ، وَٱقْتَرَبُوا إِلَى أَبْوَابِ ٱلْمَوْتِ.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death.

١٩ 19 فَصَرَخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، فَخَلَّصَهُمْ مِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ.

Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, he saveth them out of their distresses.

٢٠ 20 أَرْسَلَ كَلِمَتَهُ فَشَفَاهُمْ، وَنَجَّاهُمْ مِنْ تَهْلُكَاتِهِمْ.

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

٢١ 21 فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

٢٢ 22 وَلْيَذْبَحُوا لَهُ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْحَمْدِ، وَلْيَعُدُّوا أَعْمَالَهُ بِتَرَنُّمٍ.

And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

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

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business on great waters;

٢٤ 24 هُمْ رَأَوْا أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَعَجَائِبَهُ فِي ٱلْعُمْقِ.

These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

٢٥ 25 أَمَرَ فَأَهَاجَ رِيحًا عَاصِفَةً فَرَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ.

For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up its waves.

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

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

٢٧ 27 يَتَمَايَلُونَ وَيَتَرَنَّحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ، وَكُلُّ حِكْمَتِهِمِ ٱبْتُلِعَتْ.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

٢٨ 28 فَيَصْرُخُونَ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِهِمْ، وَمِنْ شَدَائِدِهِمْ يُخَلِّصُهُمْ.

Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

٢٩ 29 يُهْدِئُ ٱلْعَاصِفَةَ فَتَسْكُنُ، وَتَسْكُتُ أَمْوَاجُهَا.

He maketh the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.

٣٠ 30 فَيَفْرَحُونَ لِأَنَّهُمْ هَدَأُوا، فَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَرْفَإِ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيدُونَهُ.

Then are they glad because they are quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven.

٣١ 31 فَلْيَحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ وَعَجَائِبِهِ لِبَنِي آدَمَ.

O that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

٣٢ 32 وَلْيَرْفَعُوهُ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَلْيُسَبِّحُوهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمَشَايِخِ.

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

٣٣ 33 يَجْعَلُ ٱلْأَنْهَارَ قِفَارًا، وَمَجَارِيَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ مَعْطَشَةً،

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

٣٤ 34 وَٱلْأَرْضَ ٱلْمُثْمِرَةَ سَبِخَةً مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا.

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it.

٣٥ 35 يَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَفْرَ غَدِيرَ مِيَاهٍ، وَأَرْضًا يَبَسًا يَنَابِيعَ مِيَاهٍ.

He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

٣٦ 36 وَيُسْكِنُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْجِيَاعَ فَيُهَيِّئُونَ مَدِينَةَ سَكَنٍ.

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

٣٧ 37 وَيَزْرَعُونَ حُقُولًا وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا، فَتَصْنَعُ ثَمَرَ غَلَّةٍ.

And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

٣٨ 38 وَيُبَارِكُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ جِدًّا، وَلَا يُقَلِّلُ بَهَائِمَهُمْ.

He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and doest not let their cattle to decrease.

٣٩ 39 ثُمَّ يَقِلُّونَ وَيَنْحَنُونَ مِنْ ضَغْطِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلْحُزْنِ.

Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

٤٠ 40 يَسْكُبُ هَوَانًا عَلَى رُؤَسَاءَ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ،

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

٤١ 41 وَيُعَلِّي ٱلْمِسْكِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ مِثْلَ قُطْعَانِ ٱلْغَنَمِ.

Yet he setteth the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

٤٢ 42 يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَكُلُّ إِثْمٍ يَسُدُّ فَاهُ.

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

٤٣ 43 مَنْ كَانَ حَكِيمًا يَحْفَظُ هَذَا، وَيَتَعَقَّلُ مَرَاحِمَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
