اِحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. ١ 1
Give thanks to the Lord for his goodness, his kindness endures forever.
لِيَقُلْ إِسْرَائِيلُ: «إِنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ». ٢ 2
Let the house of Israel now say: his kindness endures forever.
لِيَقُلْ بَيْتُ هَارُونَ: «إِنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ». ٣ 3
Let the house of Aaron now say: his kindness endures forever.
لِيَقُلْ مُتَّقُو ٱلرَّبِّ: «إِنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ». ٤ 4
Let those who fear the Lord now say: his kindness endures forever.
مِنَ ٱلضِّيقِ دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَنِي مِنَ ٱلرُّحْبِ. ٥ 5
Out of straits I called on the Lord, the Lord answered and gave me room.
ٱلرَّبُّ لِي فَلَا أَخَافُ. مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِي ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ ٦ 6
The Lord is mine; I am fearless. What can mere people do to me?
ٱلرَّبُّ لِي بَيْنَ مُعِينِيَّ، وَأَنَا سَأَرَى بِأَعْدَائِي. ٧ 7
The Lord is mine, as my help: I shall feast my eyes on my foes.
ٱلِٱحْتِمَاءُ بِٱلرَّبِّ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ. ٨ 8
It is better to hide in the Lord than to trust in mortals.
ٱلِٱحْتِمَاءُ بِٱلرَّبِّ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَى ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ. ٩ 9
It is better to hide in the Lord than to put any trust in princes.
كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ أَحَاطُوا بِي. بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. ١٠ 10
Everywhere heathen swarmed round me; in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
أَحَاطُوا بِي وَٱكْتَنَفُونِي. بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. ١١ 11
They swarmed, swarmed around me; in the name of the Lord I cut them down,
أَحَاطُوا بِي مِثْلَ ٱلنَّحْلِ. ٱنْطَفَأُوا كَنَارِ ٱلشَّوْكِ. بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أُبِيدُهُمْ. ١٢ 12
they swarmed around me like bees, they blazed like a fire of thorns: in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
دَحَرْتَنِي دُحُورًا لِأَسْقُطَ، أَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَعَضَدَنِي. ١٣ 13
Sore they pushed me, to make me fall; but the Lord gave me his help.
قُوَّتِي وَتَرَنُّمِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَقَدْ صَارَ لِي خَلَاصًا. ١٤ 14
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he is become my salvation.
صَوْتُ تَرَنُّمٍ وَخَلَاصٍ فِي خِيَامِ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ: «يَمِينُ ٱلرَّبِّ صَانِعَةٌ بِبَأْسٍ. ١٥ 15
Hark! In the tents of the righteous glad cries of victory are ringing. The hand of the Lord has wrought bravely,
يَمِينُ ٱلرَّبِّ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ. يَمِينُ ٱلرَّبِّ صَانِعَةٌ بِبَأْسٍ». ١٦ 16
the hand of the Lord is exalted, the hand of the Lord has wrought bravely.
لَا أَمُوتُ بَلْ أَحْيَا وَأُحَدِّثُ بِأَعْمَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٧ 17
I shall not die: nay, I shall live, to declare the works of the Lord.
تَأْدِيبًا أَدَّبَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ، وَإِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ لَمْ يُسْلِمْنِي. ١٨ 18
Though the Lord has chastened me sore, he has not given me over to death. (The Procession arrives at the Temple)
اِفْتَحُوا لِي أَبْوَابَ ٱلْبِرِّ. أَدْخُلْ فِيهَا وَأَحْمَدِ ٱلرَّبَّ. ١٩ 19
‘Open to me the gates of victory. I would enter therein and give thanks to the Lord.’ (The Welcome)
هَذَا ٱلْبَابُ لِلرَّبِّ. ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِيهِ. ٢٠ 20
‘This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous may enter therein;’
أَحْمَدُكَ لِأَنَّكَ ٱسْتَجَبْتَ لِي وَصِرْتَ لِي خَلَاصًا. ٢١ 21
I thank you because you have heard me, and are become my salvation.
ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلَّذِي رَفَضَهُ ٱلْبَنَّاؤُونَ قَدْ صَارَ رَأْسَ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ. ٢٢ 22
The stone which the builders despised is become the head-stone of the corner.
مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَانَ هَذَا، وَهُوَ عَجِيبٌ فِي أَعْيُنِنَا. ٢٣ 23
This has been wrought by the Lord; it is marvellous in our eyes.
هَذَا هُوَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، نَبْتَهِجُ وَنَفْرَحُ فِيهِ. ٢٤ 24
This day is the Lord’s own creation: in it let us joy and be glad.
آهِ يَارَبُّ خَلِّصْ! آهِ يَارَبُّ أَنْقِذْ! ٢٥ 25
O Lord, save us, we pray, O Lord, prosper, we pray.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلْآتِي بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. بَارَكْنَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢٦ 26
Blessed the one who enters in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you.
ٱلرَّبُّ هُوَ ٱللهُ وَقَدْ أَنَارَ لَنَا. أَوْثِقُوا ٱلذَّبِيحَةَ بِرُبُطٍ إِلَى قُرُونِ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. ٢٧ 27
The Lord is God, he has given us light. Wreathe the dance with boughs, till they touch the horns of the altar.
إِلَهِي أَنْتَ فَأَحْمَدُكَ، إِلَهِي فَأَرْفَعُكَ. ٢٨ 28
You are my God, I will thank you; O my God, I will exalt you.
ٱحْمَدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ لِأَنَّهُ صَالِحٌ، لِأَنَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتَهُ. ٢٩ 29
Give thanks to the Lord for his goodness: his kindness endures forever.
