اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 12

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ٱلْقَرَارِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْ يَارَبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْقَرَضَ ٱلتَّقِيُّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْقَطَعَ ٱلْأُمَنَاءُ مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ.

For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.

٢ 2 يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ، بِشِفَاهٍ مَلِقَةٍ، بِقَلْبٍ فَقَلْبٍ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ.

They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

٣ 3 يَقْطَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشِّفَاهِ ٱلْمَلِقَةِ وَٱللِّسَانَ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَ بِٱلْعَظَائِمِ،

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

٤ 4 ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا: «بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا نَتَجَبَّرُ. شِفَاهُنَا مَعَنَا. مَنْ هُوَ سَيِّدٌ عَلَيْنَا؟».

They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”

٥ 5 «مِنِ ٱغْتِصَابِ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، مِنْ صَرْخَةِ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، ٱلْآنَ أَقُومُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، أَجْعَلُ فِي وُسْعٍ ٱلَّذِي يُنْفَثُ فِيهِ».

“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

٦ 6 كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَلَامٌ نَقِيٌّ، كَفِضَّةٍ مُصَفَّاةٍ فِي بُوطَةٍ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، مَمْحُوصَةٍ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ.

The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

٧ 7 أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ تَحْفَظُهُمْ. تَحْرُسُهُمْ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

٨ 8 ٱلْأَشْرَارُ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱرْتِفَاعِ ٱلْأَرْذَالِ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ.

The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.
