اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 28

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ أَصْرُخُ. يَا صَخْرَتِي، لَا تَتَصَامَمْ مِنْ جِهَتِي، لِئَلَّا تَسْكُتَ عَنِّي فَأُشْبِهَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ.

Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.

٢ 2 ٱسْتَمِعْ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي إِذْ أَسْتَغِيثُ بِكَ وَأَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى مِحْرَابِ قُدْسِكَ.

Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.

٣ 3 لَا تَجْذِبْنِي مَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَمَعَ فَعَلَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ ٱلْمُخَاطِبِينَ أَصْحَابَهُمْ بِٱلسَّلَامِ وَٱلشَّرُّ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ.

Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.

٤ 4 أَعْطِهِمْ حَسَبَ فِعْلِهِمْ وَحَسَبَ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. حَسَبَ صُنْعِ أَيْدِيهِمْ أَعْطِهِمْ. رُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُعَامَلَتَهُمْ.

Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَنْتَبِهُوا إِلَى أَفْعَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا إِلَى أَعْمَالِ يَدَيْهِ، يَهْدِمُهُمْ وَلَا يَبْنِيهِمْ.

Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي.

Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!

٧ 7 ٱلرَّبُّ عِزِّي وَتُرْسِي. عَلَيْهِ ٱتَّكَلَ قَلْبِي، فَٱنْتَصَرْتُ. وَيَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبِي وَبِأُغْنِيَتِي أَحْمَدُهُ.

Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.

٨ 8 ٱلرَّبُّ عِزٌّ لَهُمْ، وَحِصْنُ خَلَاصِ مَسِيحِهِ هُوَ.

Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.

٩ 9 خَلِّصْ شَعْبَكَ، وَبَارِكْ مِيرَاثَكَ، وَٱرْعَهُمْ وَٱحْمِلْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.
