اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 34

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا غَيَّرَ عَقْلَهُ قُدَّامَ أَبِيمَالِكَ فَطَرَدَهُ فَٱنْطَلَقَ أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. دَائِمًا تَسْبِيحُهُ فِي فَمِي.

[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.

٢ 2 بِٱلرَّبِّ تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي. يَسْمَعُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ.

My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.

٣ 3 عَظِّمُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَلِّ ٱسْمَهُ مَعًا.

Magnify ye the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

٤ 4 طَلَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي، وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي أَنْقَذَنِي.

I sought the Lord diligently, and he hearkened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.

٥ 5 نَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَٱسْتَنَارُوا، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ لَمْ تَخْجَلْ.

Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.

٦ 6 هَذَا ٱلْمِسْكِينُ صَرَخَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ ٱسْتَمَعَهُ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقَاتِهِ خَلَّصَهُ.

This poor man cried, and the Lord hearkened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.

٧ 7 مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَالٌّ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.

٨ 8 ذُوقُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا مَا أَطْيَبَ ٱلرَّبَّ! طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَلَيْهِ.

Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.

٩ 9 ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا قِدِّيسِيهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَوَزٌ لِمُتَّقِيهِ.

Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

١٠ 10 ٱلْأَشْبَالُ ٱحْتَاجَتْ وَجَاعَتْ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ.

The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not want any good thing. (Pause)

١١ 11 هَلُمَّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَنُونَ ٱسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَخَافَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Come, ye children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

١٢ 12 مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَهْوَى ٱلْحَيَاةَ، وَيُحِبُّ كَثْرَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِيَرَى خَيْرًا؟

What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?

١٣ 13 صُنْ لِسَانَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَشَفَتَيْكَ عَنِ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

١٤ 14 حِدْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ. ٱطْلُبِ ٱلسَّلَامَةَ، وَٱسْعَ وَرَاءَهَا.

Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

١٥ 15 عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ نَحْوَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَأُذُنَاهُ إِلَى صُرَاخِهِمْ.

The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:

١٦ 16 وَجْهُ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِدُّ عَامِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ لِيَقْطَعَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord hearkened to them,

١٧ 17 أُولَئِكَ صَرَخُوا، وَٱلرَّبُّ سَمِعَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَدَائِدِهِمْ أَنْقَذَهُمْ.

and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

١٨ 18 قَرِيبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْمُنْكَسِرِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِي ٱلرُّوحِ.

The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.

١٩ 19 كَثِيرَةٌ هِيَ بَلَايَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِهَا يُنَجِّيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.

٢٠ 20 يَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ عِظَامِهِ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا لَا يَنْكَسِرُ.

He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.

٢١ 21 ٱلشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، وَمُبْغِضُو ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.

٢٢ 22 ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِي نُفُوسِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَيْهِ لَا يُعَاقَبُ.

The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
