رَبُّ، لِمَاذَا تَقِفُ بَعِيداً وَتَحْتَجِبُ فِي أَزْمِنَةِ الضِّيقِ؟ ١ 1
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
الشِّرِّيرُ، بِعَجْرَفَةٍ، يَجِدُّ فِي تَعَقُّبِ الْمِسْكِينِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ الأَشْرَارَ يَسْقُطُونَ فِي مُؤَامَرَتِهِمِ الَّتِي فَكَّرُوا فِيهَا. ٢ 2
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
الشِّرِّيرُ يَفْتَخِرُ بِشَهَوَاتِ نَفْسِهِ، وَالرَّجُلُ الطَّمَّاعُ يَلْعَنُ وَيُجَدِّفُ عَلَى اللهِ. ٣ 3
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
فِي تَكَبُّرِهِ وَتَشَامُخِهِ لَا يَلْتَمِسُ اللهَ، وَلَا مَكَانَ لِلهِ فِي أَفْكَارِهِ كُلِّهَا، ٤ 4
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
وَمَعْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ مَسَاعِيَهُ تَبْدُو نَاجِحَةً، وَيَسْتَخِفُّ بِجَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِهِ. وَلَكِنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَالِيَةٌ أَسْمَى مِنْهُ ٥ 5
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
قَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «لَنْ يُزَحْزِحَنِي شَيْءٌ، وَلَنْ يَنَالَنِي مَكْرُوهٌ قَطُّ». ٦ 6
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
فَمُهُ مَمْلُوءٌ لَعْنَةً وَغِشّاً وَظُلْماً. تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ الأَذَى وَالإِثْمُ. ٧ 7
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
يَتَرَبَّصُ فِي كَمَائِنِ الدِّيَارِ لِيَقْتُلَ الْبَرِيءَ. عَيْنَاهُ تَتَرَصَّدَانِ الْمِسْكِينَ. ٨ 8
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
يَكْمُنُ فِي الْخَفَاءِ، كَأَسَدٍ فِي عَرِينِهِ لِيَخْطِفَ الْمِسْكِينَ وَيَجُرَّهُ فِي شَبَكَتِهِ. ٩ 9
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
يَسْحَقُ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَيَدُوسُهُمْ حِينَ يَسْقُطُونَ بَيْنَ مَخَالِبِهِ الْقَوِيَّةِ. ١٠ 10
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
يَقُولُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: اللهُ غَافِلٌ. قَدْ حَجَبَ وَجْهَهُ، وَلَنْ يَرَى مَا يَجْرِي ١١ 11
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
قُمْ يَا رَبُّ، ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ يَا اللهُ، لَا تَنْسَ الْمَسَاكِينَ. ١٢ 12
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
لِمَاذَا يَسْتَهِينُ الشِّرِّيرُ بِاللهِ قَائِلاً فِي قَلْبِهِ: إِنَّكَ لَا تُحَاسِبُهُ؟ ١٣ 13
Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
وَلَكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَ. عَايَنْتَ مَا أَصَابَ الْمَسَاكِينَ مِنَ الْمَشَقَّةِ وَالْغَمِّ، فَتُجَازِي الشِّرِّيرَ بِيَدِكَ. يُسَلِّمُ إِلَيْكَ الْمِسْكِينُ أَمْرَهُ، فَأَنْتَ دَائِماً مُعِينُ الْيَتِيمِ. ١٤ 14
But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
حَطِّمْ ذِرَاعَ الشِّرِّيرِ وَالْفَاجِرِ. حَاسِبْهُ عَلَى شَرِّهِ، حَتَّى لَا تَجِدَهُ. ١٥ 15
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
الرَّبُّ مَلِكٌ إِلَى أَبَدِ الدُّهُورِ، قَدْ بَادَتْ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ الأُمَمُ (الَّتِي تَعْبُدُ آلِهَةً سِوَاهُ) ١٦ 16
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَسْتَجِيبُ طِلْبَةَ الْوُدَعَاءِ، تُشَدِّدُ قُلُوبَهُمْ إِذْ تُصْغِي (إِلَى تَأَوُّهَاتِهِمْ). ١٧ 17
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
تُنْصِفُ الْيَتِيمَ وَالْمَقْهُورَ، فَلَا يَعُودُ إِنْسَانٌ فِي الأَرْضِ يُرْعِبُهُمْ. ١٨ 18
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
