< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 139 >

لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَارَبُّ، قَدِ ٱخْتَبَرْتَنِي وَعَرَفْتَنِي. ١ 1
For the music director. A psalm of David. Lord, you have examined me from the inside out—you know everything about me!
أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ جُلُوسِي وَقِيَامِي. فَهِمْتَ فِكْرِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٢ 2
You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I'm thinking even when I'm a long way away.
مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْبَضِي ذَرَّيْتَ، وَكُلَّ طُرُقِي عَرَفْتَ. ٣ 3
You observe where I go and when I rest. You're familiar with everything I do.
لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَلِمَةٌ فِي لِسَانِي، إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَهَا كُلَّهَا. ٤ 4
Lord, you even know what I'm going to say before I say it.
مِنْ خَلْفٍ وَمِنْ قُدَّامٍ حَاصَرْتَنِي، وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَيَّ يَدَكَ. ٥ 5
You're always there—behind me, in front of me, and all around me. You place your caring hand on me.
عَجِيبَةٌ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ، فَوْقِي ٱرْتَفَعَتْ، لَا أَسْتَطِيعُهَا. ٦ 6
This amazing knowledge you have is far beyond me, way beyond my understanding!
أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَيْنَ أَهْرُبُ؟ ٧ 7
Where can I go that you're not already there? Where can I run to escape your presence?
إِنْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَنْتَ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنْ فَرَشْتُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَهَا أَنْتَ. (Sheol h7585) ٨ 8
If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I lie down in Sheol, look—you are there too! (Sheol h7585)
إِنْ أَخَذْتُ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي أَقَاصِي ٱلْبَحْرِ، ٩ 9
If I were to fly away on wings of the dawn to the east; if I were to live on the far western shore of the sea,
فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضًا تَهْدِينِي يَدُكَ وَتُمْسِكُنِي يَمِينُكَ. ١٠ 10
even there your hand would lead me, your right hand would support me.
فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّمَا ٱلظُّلْمَةُ تَغْشَانِي». فَٱللَّيْلُ يُضِيءُ حَوْلِي! ١١ 11
If I asked the darkness to hide me, and light to become night around me,
ٱلظُّلْمَةُ أَيْضًا لَا تُظْلِمُ لَدَيْكَ، وَٱللَّيْلُ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يُضِيءُ. كَٱلظُّلْمَةِ هَكَذَا ٱلنُّورُ. ١٢ 12
Even darkness would not be dark for you, and the night would be bright as day, for darkness is like light to you.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱقْتَنَيْتَ كُلْيَتَيَّ. نَسَجْتَنِي فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي. ١٣ 13
You made me from the inside out, shaping me in my mother's womb.
أَحْمَدُكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدِ ٱمْتَزْتُ عَجَبًا. عَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ أَعْمَالُكَ، وَنَفْسِي تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ يَقِينًا. ١٤ 14
I praise you for making me in such an awesome and wonderful way. What you do is incredible—I realize this completely!
لَمْ تَخْتَفِ عَنْكَ عِظَامِي حِينَمَا صُنِعْتُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ، وَرُقِمْتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٥ 15
My growing body was not hidden from you as I was formed in secret, as I was intricately put together “in the depths of the earth.”
رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ أَعْضَائِي، وَفِي سِفْرِكَ كُلُّهَا كُتِبَتْ يَوْمَ تَصَوَّرَتْ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا. ١٦ 16
You saw me as an embryo, and in your book all my days were written down—the days that were made for me before any of them existed.
مَا أَكْرَمَ أَفْكَارَكَ يَا ٱللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَكْثَرَ جُمْلَتَهَا! ١٧ 17
God, your thoughts are so valuable to me! Taken together, they can't be counted!
إِنْ أُحْصِهَا فَهِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّمْلِ. ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَأَنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكَ. ١٨ 18
If I tried to count them, they would be more than every grain of sand. Yet when I awake I am still with you.
لَيْتَكَ تَقْتُلُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ يَا ٱللهُ. فَيَا رِجَالَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، ٱبْعُدُوا عَنِّي. ١٩ 19
God, if you would only kill the wicked! Murderers, get away from me!
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ نَاطِقِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ. ٢٠ 20
When they speak of you they're being deceptively evil. Since they are your enemies, they call on you in vain.
أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَمْقُتُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ؟ ٢١ 21
Lord, don't I hate those who hate you? I despise those who rebel against you!
بُغْضًا تَامًّا أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. صَارُوا لِي أَعْدَاءً. ٢٢ 22
I hate them with absolute hatred—they have become my enemies!
ٱخْتَبِرْنِي يَا ٱللهُ وَٱعْرِفْ قَلْبِي. ٱمْتَحِنِّي وَٱعْرِفْ أَفْكَارِي. ٢٣ 23
Examine me carefully, God, so you can be sure of my true feelings. Check me out so you can know what I really think.
وَٱنْظُرْ إِنْ كَانَ فِيَّ طَرِيقٌ بَاطِلٌ، وَٱهْدِنِي طَرِيقًا أَبَدِيًّا. ٢٤ 24
Please show me if I'm following any kind of idol, and lead me along the path of eternal life.
