< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 7 >
شَجَوِيَّةٌ لِدَاوُدَ، غَنَّاهَا لِلرَّبِّ بِسَبَبِ كَلَامِ كُوشَ ٱلْبِنْيَامِينِيِّ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْرُدُونَنِي وَنَجِّنِي، | ١ 1 |
Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
لِئَلَّا يَفْتَرِسَ كَأَسَدٍ نَفْسِي هَاشِمًا إِيَّاهَا وَلَا مُنْقِذَ. | ٢ 2 |
If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ هَذَا. إِنْ وُجِدَ ظُلْمٌ فِي يَدَيَّ. | ٣ 3 |
Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
إِنْ كَافَأْتُ مُسَالِمِي شَرًّا، وَسَلَبْتُ مُضَايِقِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ، | ٤ 4 |
if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
فَلْيُطَارِدْ عَدُوٌّ نَفْسِي وَلْيُدْرِكْهَا، وَلْيَدُسْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي، وَلْيَحُطَّ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ مَجْدِي. سِلَاهْ. | ٥ 5 |
allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
قُمْ يَارَبُّ بِغَضَبِكَ. ٱرْتَفِعْ عَلَى سَخَطِ مُضَايِقِيَّ وَٱنْتَبِهْ لِي. بِٱلْحَقِّ أَوْصَيْتَ. | ٦ 6 |
But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
وَمَجْمَعُ ٱلْقَبَائِلِ يُحِيطُ بِكَ، فَعُدْ فَوْقَهَا إِلَى ٱلْعُلَى. | ٧ 7 |
Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
ٱلرَّبُّ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ. ٱقْضِ لِي يَارَبُّ كَحَقِّي وَمِثْلَ كَمَالِي ٱلَّذِي فِيَّ. | ٨ 8 |
Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
لِيَنْتَهِ شَرُّ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَثَبِّتِ ٱلصِّدِّيقَ. فَإِنَّ فَاحِصَ ٱلْقُلُوبِ وَٱلْكُلَى ٱللهُ ٱلْبَارُّ. | ٩ 9 |
God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
تُرْسِي عِنْدَ ٱللهِ مُخَلِّصِ مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
ٱللهُ قَاضٍ عَادِلٌ، وَإِلَهٌ يَسْخَطُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. | ١١ 11 |
You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
إِنْ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ يُحَدِّدْ سَيْفَهُ. مَدَّ قَوْسَهُ وَهَيَّأَهَا، | ١٢ 12 |
Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
وَسَدَّدَ نَحوَهُ آلةَ ٱلْمَوْتِ. يَجْعَلُ سِهَامَهُ مُلْتَهِبَةً. | ١٣ 13 |
You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
هُوَذَا يَمْخَضُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ. حَمَلَ تَعَبًا وَوَلَدَ كَذِبًا. | ١٤ 14 |
Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
كَرَا جُبًّا. حَفَرَهُ، فَسَقَطَ فِي ٱلْهُوَّةِ ٱلَّتِي صَنَعَ. | ١٥ 15 |
But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
يَرْجِعُ تَعَبُهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَعَلَى هَامَتِهِ يَهْبِطُ ظُلْمُهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ حَسَبَ بِرِّهِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
