اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 71

١ 1 بِكَ يَارَبُّ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ، فَلَا أَخْزَى إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

In you, Adonai, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

٢ 2 بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذْنَكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

٣ 3 كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإٍ أَدْخُلُهُ دَائِمًا. أَمَرْتَ بِخَلَاصِي لِأَنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي.

Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the enjoin to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

٤ 4 يَا إِلَهِي، نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، مِنْ كَفِّ فَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلظَّالِمِ.

Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ، مُتَّكَلِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ.

For you are my hope, Lord Adonai; my confidence from my youth.

٦ 6 عَلَيْكَ ٱسْتَنَدْتُ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، وَأَنْتَ مُخْرِجِي مِنْ أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّي. بِكَ تَسْبِيحِي دَائِمًا.

I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always tehilah ·praise song· you.

٧ 7 صِرْتُ كَآيَةٍ لِكَثِيرِينَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَمَلْجَإِي ٱلْقَوِيُّ.

I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.

٨ 8 يَمْتَلِئُ فَمِي مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ، ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ مَجْدِكَ.

My mouth shall be filled with your tehilah ·praise song·, with your honor all the day.

٩ 9 لَا تَرْفُضْنِي فِي زَمَنِ ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ. لَا تَتْرُكْنِي عِنْدَ فَنَاءِ قُوَّتِي.

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَقَاوَلُوا عَلَيَّ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَرْصُدُونَ نَفْسِي تَآمَرُوا مَعًا.

For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

١١ 11 قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ تَرَكَهُ. ٱلْحَقُوهُ وَأَمْسِكُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا مُنْقِذَ لَهُ».

saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

١٢ 12 يَا ٱللهُ، لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي. يَا إِلَهِي، إِلَى مَعُونَتِي أَسْرِعْ.

God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

١٣ 13 لِيَخْزَ وَيَفْنَ مُخَاصِمُو نَفْسِي. لِيَلْبَسِ ٱلْعَارَ وَٱلْخَجَلَ ٱلْمُلْتَمِسُونَ لِي شَرًّا.

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَرْجُو دَائِمًا، وَأَزِيدُ عَلَى كُلِّ تَسْبِيحِكَ.

But I will always hope, and will add to all of your tehilah ·praise song·.

١٥ 15 فَمِي يُحَدِّثُ بِعَدْلِكَ، ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ بِخَلَاصِكَ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ لَهَا أَعْدَادًا.

My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.

١٦ 16 آتِي بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. أَذْكُرُ بِرَّكَ وَحْدَكَ.

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Adonai. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

١٧ 17 اَللَّهُمَّ، قَدْ عَلَّمْتَنِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْآنَ أُخْبِرُ بِعَجَائِبِكَ.

God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

١٨ 18 وَأَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ وَٱلشَّيْبِيَا ٱللهُ لَا تَتْرُكْنِي، حَتَّى أُخْبِرَ بِذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْجِيلَ ٱلْمُقْبِلَ، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ كُلَّ آتٍ.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

١٩ 19 وَبِرُّكَ إِلَى ٱلْعَلْيَاءِ يَا ٱللهُ، ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتَ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ. يَا ٱللهُ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ؟

Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

٢٠ 20 أَنْتَ ٱلَّذِي أَرَيْتَنَا ضِيقَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً وَرَدِيئَةً، تَعُودُ فَتُحْيِينَا، وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَعُودُ فَتُصْعِدُنَا.

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

٢١ 21 تَزِيدُ عَظَمَتِي وَتَرْجِعُ فَتُعَزِّينِي.

Increase my honor, and comfort me again.

٢٢ 22 فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَحْمَدُكَ بِرَبَابٍ، حَقَّكَ يَا إِلَهِي. أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ بِٱلْعُودِ يَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

I will also yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you with the lyre, haKadosh Isra'el [the Holy One of God prevails].

٢٣ 23 تَبْتَهِجُ شَفَتَايَ إِذْ أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ، وَنَفْسِي ٱلَّتِي فَدَيْتَهَا.

My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings zahmar ·musical praise· to you!

٢٤ 24 وَلِسَانِي أَيْضًا ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَلْهَجُ بِبِرِّكَ. لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَزِيَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَجِلَ ٱلْمُلْتَمِسُونَ لِي شَرًّا.

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
