اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 139

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَارَبُّ، قَدِ ٱخْتَبَرْتَنِي وَعَرَفْتَنِي.

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, you have proved me, and known me.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ جُلُوسِي وَقِيَامِي. فَهِمْتَ فِكْرِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

You know my down-sitting and mine up-rising: you understand my thoughts long before.

٣ 3 مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْبَضِي ذَرَّيْتَ، وَكُلَّ طُرُقِي عَرَفْتَ.

You have traced my path and my bed, and have foreseen all my ways.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَلِمَةٌ فِي لِسَانِي، إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَهَا كُلَّهَا.

For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, you have known all things,

٥ 5 مِنْ خَلْفٍ وَمِنْ قُدَّامٍ حَاصَرْتَنِي، وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَيَّ يَدَكَ.

the last and the first: you have fashioned me, and laid your hand upon me.

٦ 6 عَجِيبَةٌ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ، فَوْقِي ٱرْتَفَعَتْ، لَا أَسْتَطِيعُهَا.

The knowledge of you is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I can’t [attain] to it.

٧ 7 أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَيْنَ أَهْرُبُ؟

Whither shall I go from your Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?

٨ 8 إِنْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَنْتَ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنْ فَرَشْتُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَهَا أَنْتَ. (Sheol h7585)

If I should go up to heaven, you are there: if I should go down to hell, you are present. (Sheol h7585)

٩ 9 إِنْ أَخَذْتُ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي أَقَاصِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],

١٠ 10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضًا تَهْدِينِي يَدُكَ وَتُمْسِكُنِي يَمِينُكَ.

for even there your hand would guide me, and your right hand would hold me.

١١ 11 فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّمَا ٱلظُّلْمَةُ تَغْشَانِي». فَٱللَّيْلُ يُضِيءُ حَوْلِي!

When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury.

١٢ 12 ٱلظُّلْمَةُ أَيْضًا لَا تُظْلِمُ لَدَيْكَ، وَٱللَّيْلُ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يُضِيءُ. كَٱلظُّلْمَةِ هَكَذَا ٱلنُّورُ.

For darkness will not be darkness with you; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to you].

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱقْتَنَيْتَ كُلْيَتَيَّ. نَسَجْتَنِي فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي.

For you, O Lord, have possessed my reins; you have helped me from my mother's womb.

١٤ 14 أَحْمَدُكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدِ ٱمْتَزْتُ عَجَبًا. عَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ أَعْمَالُكَ، وَنَفْسِي تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ يَقِينًا.

I will give you thanks; for you are fearfully wondrous; wondrous are your works; and my soul knows [it] well.

١٥ 15 لَمْ تَخْتَفِ عَنْكَ عِظَامِي حِينَمَا صُنِعْتُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ، وَرُقِمْتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

My bones, which you made in secret were not hidden from you, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.

١٦ 16 رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ أَعْضَائِي، وَفِي سِفْرِكَ كُلُّهَا كُتِبَتْ يَوْمَ تَصَوَّرَتْ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا.

Your eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in your book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them.

١٧ 17 مَا أَكْرَمَ أَفْكَارَكَ يَا ٱللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَكْثَرَ جُمْلَتَهَا!

But your friends, O God, have been greatly honored by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.

١٨ 18 إِنْ أُحْصِهَا فَهِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّمْلِ. ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَأَنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكَ.

I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with you.

١٩ 19 لَيْتَكَ تَقْتُلُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ يَا ٱللهُ. فَيَا رِجَالَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، ٱبْعُدُوا عَنِّي.

Oh that you would kill the wicked, O God; depart from me, you men of blood.

٢٠ 20 ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ نَاطِقِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

For you will say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take your cities in vain.

٢١ 21 أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَمْقُتُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ؟

Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate you? and wasted away because of your enemies?

٢٢ 22 بُغْضًا تَامًّا أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. صَارُوا لِي أَعْدَاءً.

I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.

٢٣ 23 ٱخْتَبِرْنِي يَا ٱللهُ وَٱعْرِفْ قَلْبِي. ٱمْتَحِنِّي وَٱعْرِفْ أَفْكَارِي.

Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;

٢٤ 24 وَٱنْظُرْ إِنْ كَانَ فِيَّ طَرِيقٌ بَاطِلٌ، وَٱهْدِنِي طَرِيقًا أَبَدِيًّا.

and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
