اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 69

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوْسَنِّ». لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ إِلَى نَفْسِي.

[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Lilies." By David.] Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck.

٢ 2 غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ عَمِيقَةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَقَرٌّ. دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلسَّيْلُ غَمَرَنِي.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

٣ 3 تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. يَبِسَ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنِ ٱنْتِظَارِ إِلَهِي.

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

٤ 4 أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٱعْتَزَّ مُسْتَهْلِكِيَّ أَعْدَائِي ظُلْمًا. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أَخْطَفْهُ.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I did not take away.

٥ 5 يَا ٱللهُ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ حَمَاقَتِي، وَذُنُوبِي عَنْكَ لَمْ تَخْفَ.

God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren't hidden from you.

٦ 6 لَا يَخْزَ بِي مُنْتَظِرُوكَ يَا سَيِّدُ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لَا يَخْجَلْ بِي مُلْتَمِسُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame because of me, LORD of hosts. Do not let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُ ٱلْعَارَ. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.

Because for your sake I suffer insults. Shame has covered my face.

٨ 8 صِرْتُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِي، وَغَرِيبًا عِنْدَ بَنِي أُمِّي.

I have become a stranger to my brothers, a foreigner to my mother's children.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ غَيْرَةَ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي، وَتَعْيِيرَاتِ مُعَيِّرِيكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.

For the zeal of your house consumes me. The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.

١٠ 10 وَأَبْكَيْتُ بِصَوْمٍ نَفْسِي، فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَيَّ.

When I wept and I fasted, it brought me insults.

١١ 11 جَعَلْتُ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا، وَصِرْتُ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا.

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.

١٢ 12 يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيَّ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، وَأَغَانِيُّ شَرَّابِي ٱلْمُسْكِرِ.

Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا ٱللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلَاصِكَ.

But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

١٤ 14 نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

Deliver me out of the mire, and do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

١٥ 15 لَا يَغْمُرَنِّي سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي ٱلْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عَلَيَّ فَاهَا.

Do not let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.

١٦ 16 ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. كَكَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.

١٧ 17 وَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ضِيْقًا. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily.

١٨ 18 ٱقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. فُكَّهَا. بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي ٱفْدِنِي.

Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

١٩ 19 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَخَجَلِي. قُدَّامَكَ جَمِيعُ مُضَايِقِيَّ.

You know how I am insulted, and my shame, and my disgrace. My adversaries are all before you.

٢٠ 20 ٱلْعَارُ قَدْ كَسَرَ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. ٱنْتَظَرْتُ رِقَّةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

Insults have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.

٢١ 21 وَيَجْعَلُونَ فِي طَعَامِي عَلْقَمًا، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلًّا.

They also gave me gall for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

٢٢ 22 لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ قُدَّامَهُمْ فَخًّا، وَلِلْآمِنِينَ شَرَكًا.

Let their table before them become a snare, and a retribution, and a trap, and a stumbling block.

٢٣ 23 لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْبَصَرِ، وَقَلْقِلْ مُتُونَهُمْ دَائِمًا.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and make their backs weak continually.

٢٤ 24 صُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطَكَ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِكَ.

Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.

٢٥ 25 لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَفِي خِيَامِهِمْ لَا يَكُنْ سَاكِنٌ.

Let their habitation be desolate, and let no one dwell in their tents.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبْتَهُ أَنْتَ هُمْ طَرَدُوهُ، وَبِوَجَعِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ.

For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.

٢٧ 27 اِجْعَلْ إِثْمًا عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا فِي بِرِّكَ.

Charge them with crime upon crime. Do not let them come into your righteousness.

٢٨ 28 لِيُمْحَوْا مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ لَا يُكْتَبُوا.

Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life, and not be written with the righteous.

٢٩ 29 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَكَئِيبٌ. خَلَاصُكَ يَا ٱللهُ فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي.

But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.

٣٠ 30 أُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ بِتَسْبِيحٍ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

٣١ 31 فَيُسْتَطَابُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَوْرِ بَقَرٍ ذِي قُرُونٍ وَأَظْلَافٍ.

It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.

٣٢ 32 يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي ٱللهِ.

The humble will see it and rejoice. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

٣٣ 33 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَامِعٌ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ أَسْرَاهُ.

For the LORD hears the needy, and doesn't despise his captive people.

٣٤ 34 تُسَبِّحُهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ، ٱلْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ فِيهَا.

Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves in them.

٣٥ 35 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ هُنَاكَ وَيَرِثُونَهَا.

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.

٣٦ 36 وَنَسْلُ عَبِيدِهِ يَمْلِكُونَهَا، وَمُحِبُّو ٱسْمِهِ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.

The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell in it.
