اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 31

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ تَوَكَّلْتُ. لَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى مَدَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي.

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; Oh that I may never be put to shame: through thy righteousness do thou release me.

٢ 2 أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ. سَرِيعًا أَنْقِذْنِي. كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ حِصْنٍ، بَيْتَ مَلْجَإٍ لِتَخْلِيصِي.

Bend unto me thy ear; speedily deliver me: be thou unto me as a rock of protection, as a mountain strong-hold to save me.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ صَخْرَتِي وَمَعْقِلِي أَنْتَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ تَهْدِينِي وَتَقُودُنِي.

For my rock and my stronghold art thou; and for the sake of thy name lead me, and guide me.

٤ 4 أَخْرِجْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّبَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي خَبَّأُوهَا لِي، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ حِصْنِي.

Draw me out of the net which they have laid secretly for me; for thou art my protection.

٥ 5 فِي يَدِكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي. فَدَيْتَنِي يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ ٱلْحَقِّ.

Into thy hand do I commit my spirit: thou redeemest me, O Lord, the God of truth.

٦ 6 أَبْغَضْتُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَبَاطِيلَ كَاذِبَةً. أَمَّا أَنَا فَعَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

I hate those that depend on lying vanities; but I trust indeed in the Lord.

٧ 7 أَبْتَهِجُ وَأَفْرَحُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ نَظَرْتَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، وَعَرَفْتَ فِي ٱلشَّدَائِدِ نَفْسِي،

I will be glad and rejoice in thy kindness; because thou hast seen my misery; thou hast taken cognizance of the distresses of my soul;

٨ 8 وَلَمْ تَحْبِسْنِي فِي يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، بَلْ أَقَمْتَ فِي ٱلرُّحْبِ رِجْلِي.

And thou hast not surrendered me into the hand of the enemy: thou hast caused my feet to stand on an ample space.

٩ 9 اِرْحَمْنِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنِّي فِي ضِيْقٍ. خَسَفَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ عَيْنِي. نَفْسِي وَبَطْنِي.

Be gracious unto me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is consumed through vexation—my soul [too] and my body.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ حَيَاتِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ بِٱلْحُزْنِ، وَسِنِينِي بِٱلتَّنَهُّدِ. ضَعُفَتْ بِشَقَاوَتِي قُوَّتِي، وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing, my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

١١ 11 عِنْدَ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِي صِرْتُ عَارًا، وَعِنْدَ جِيرَانِي بِٱلْكُلِّيَّةِ، وَرُعْبًا لِمَعَارِفِي. ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْنِي خَارِجًا هَرَبُوا عَنِّي.

Because of all my assailants am I become a reproach, and unto my neighbors greatly so, and a terror to my acquaintance, those that see me abroad flee away from me.

١٢ 12 نُسِيتُ مِنَ ٱلْقَلْبِ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَيْتِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ إِنَاءٍ مُتْلَفٍ.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of the heart: I am become like a perishable vessel.

١٣ 13 لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ مَذَمَّةً مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ. ٱلْخَوْفُ مُسْتَدِيرٌ بِي بِمُؤَامَرَتِهِمْ مَعًا عَلَيَّ. تَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَخْذِ نَفْسِي.

For I have heard the slandering of many; terror was on every side, while they took counsel together against me: to take away my life did they purpose.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ يَارَبُّ. قُلْتُ: «إِلَهِي أَنْتَ».

But I trusted well in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.

١٥ 15 فِي يَدِكَ آجَالِي. نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِي وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْرُدُونَنِي.

In thy hand are my destinies: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from my persecutors.

١٦ 16 أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ. خَلِّصْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

Let thy face shine upon thy servant: save me through thy kindness.

١٧ 17 يَارَبُّ، لَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُكَ. لِيَخْزَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ. لِيَسْكُتُوا فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)

O Lord, let me not be put to shame; for I have called on thee: let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent, [passing] to the nether world. (Sheol h7585)

١٨ 18 لِتُبْكَمْ شِفَاهُ ٱلْكَذِبِ، ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَةُ عَلَى ٱلصِّدِّيقِ بِوَقَاحَةٍ، بِكِبْرِيَاءَ وَٱسْتِهَانَةٍ.

Let the lying lips be made dumb, which speak hard things against the righteous, with pride and contempt.

١٩ 19 مَا أَعْظَمَ جُودَكَ ٱلَّذِي ذَخَرْتَهُ لِخَائِفِيكَ، وَفَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ تُجَاهَ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ!

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast treasured up for those that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for those that trust in thee before the sons of men!

٢٠ 20 تَسْتُرُهُمْ بِسِتْرِ وَجْهِكَ مِنْ مَكَايِدِ ٱلنَّاسِ. تُخْفِيهِمْ فِي مَظَلَّةٍ مِنْ مُخَاصَمَةِ ٱلْأَلْسُنِ

Thou wilt conceal them in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracy of men: thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

٢١ 21 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ جَعَلَ عَجَبًا رَحْمَتَهُ لِي فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ.

Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shown me his kindness wonderfully in a beleaguered city.

٢٢ 22 وَأَنَا قُلْتُ فِي حَيْرَتِي: «إِنِّي قَدِ ٱنْقَطَعْتُ مِنْ قُدَّامِ عَيْنَيْكَ». وَلَكِنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي إِذْ صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ.

And yet had I said in my despondency, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou didst hear the voice of my supplications when I cried loudly unto thee.

٢٣ 23 أَحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ حَافِظُ ٱلْأَمَانَةِ، وَمُجَازٍ بِكِثْرَةٍ ٱلْعَامِلَ بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ.

Oh love the Lord, all ye his pious ones: the Lord preserveth the faithful, and recompenses the presumption of him that acteth proudly.

٢٤ 24 لِتَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَظِرِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Be strong, and let your heart be of good courage, all ye that hope in the Lord.
