اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 52

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ دُوَاغُ اَلْأَدُومِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَ شَاوُلَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «جَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيمَالِكَ». لِمَاذَا تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ؟ رَحْمَةُ ٱللهِ هِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ!

For the leader. A maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul that David had gone to Abimelech’s house. Why glory in mischief, you hero? God’s kindness is all the day.

٢ 2 لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ مَفَاسِدَ. كَمُوسَى مَسْنُونَةٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

Engulfing ruin you plot, your tongue like a razor sharpened, you practiser of deceit.

٣ 3 أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ، ٱلْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. سِلَاهْ.

Evil, not good, you love, and falsehood, not words of truth. (Selah)

٤ 4 أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلَامٍ مُهْلِكٍ، وَلِسَانِ غِشٍّ.

But you love all words that devour, and a tongue that is given to deceit.

٥ 5 أَيْضًا يَهْدِمُكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. يَخْطَفُكَ وَيَقْلَعُكَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. سِلَاهْ.

But God, on his part, shall destroy you forever, grasp you and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

٦ 6 فَيَرَى ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَعَلَيْهِ يَضْحَكُونَ:

Smitten with awe at the sight, the righteous shall laugh at you.

٧ 7 «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ ٱللهَ حِصْنَهُ، بَلِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَٱعْتَزَّ بِفَسَادِهِ».

“Look” (they will say) “at the hero who did not make God his stronghold, but trusted in his great wealth and in the strength of his riches.”

٨ 8 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى رَحْمَةِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

But I am like a fresh olive-tree in the house of God. I trust in the kindness of God for ever and evermore.

٩ 9 أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لِأَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ ٱسْمَكَ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ قُدَّامَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.

I will render you thanks for ever for what you have done. I will tell how good you are in the presence of those who love you.
