لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. لِعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ. قَصِيدَةٌ خَاطَبَ بِها الرَّبَّ يَوْمَ أَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَا رَبُّ، يَا قُوَّتِي. ١ 1
[For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of YHWH, who spoke to YHWH the words of this song in the day that YHWH delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, ] I love you, YHWH, my strength.
الرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَرُكْنُ خَلاصِي، وَقَلْعَتِي الْحَصِينَةُ. ٢ 2
YHWH is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الْجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. ٣ 3
I call on YHWH, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
قَدْ أَحْدَقَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَفْزَعَتْنِي سُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ. ٤ 4
The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
أَحَاطَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فِخَاخُ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585) ٥ 5
The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me. (Sheol h7585)
فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ وَصَرَخْتُ إِلَى إِلَهِي، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ، وَصَعِدَ صُرَاخِي أَمَامَهُ، بَلْ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. ٦ 6
In my distress I called upon YHWH, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
عِنْدَئِذٍ ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَتَزَلْزَلَتْ. ارْتَجَفَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ الْجِبَالِ وَاهْتَزَّتْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ. ٧ 7
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
نَفَثَ أَنْفُهُ دُخَاناً، وَانْقَذَفَتْ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَكَأَنَّهَا جَمْرٌ مُلْتَهِبٌ. ٨ 8
Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، فَكَانَتِ الْغُيُومُ الْمُتَجَهِّمَةُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ. ٩ 9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَطَارَ مُسْرِعاً عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيْاحِ. ١٠ 10
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
جَعَلَ الظُّلْمَةَ سِتَاراً لَهُ، وَصَارَ ضَبَابُ الْمِيَاهِ وَسُحُبُ الْسَّمَاءِ الدَّاكِنَةُ مِظَلَّتَهُ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِهِ. ١١ 11
He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِهِ عَبَرَتِ السُّحُبُ أَمَامَهُ. حَدَثَتْ عَاصِفَةُ بَرَدٍ وَبَرْقٍ كَالْجَمْرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ. ١٢ 12
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، أَطْلَقَ الْعَلِيُّ صَوْتَهُ فَانْهَمَرَ بَرَدٌ، وَانْدَلَعَتْ نَارُ! ١٣ 13
YHWH also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فَبَدَّدَ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ. ١٤ 14
And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
ظَهَرَتْ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ الْعَمِيقَةِ، وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَمِنْ أَنْفِكَ اللّافِحَةِ. ١٥ 15
And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, YHWH, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْعُلَى وَأَمْسَكَنِي، وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنَ السُّيُولِ الْغَامِرَةِ. ١٦ 16
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي الْقَويِّ، وَمِنَ مُبْغِضِيَّ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَقْوَى مِنِّي. ١٧ 17
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
تَصَدَّوْا لِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي، ١٨ 18
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but YHWH was my support.
وَاقْتَادَنِي إِلَى مَكَانٍ رَحِيبٍ. أَنْقَذَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. ١٩ 19
He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى بِرِّي وَيُعَوِّضُنِي حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ، ٢٠ 20
YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
لأَنِّي سَلَكْتُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ أَعْصَ إِلَهِي. ٢١ 21
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَهُ دَائِماً نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَلَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِهِ. ٢٢ 22
For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
وَأَكُونُ مَعَهُ كَامِلاً وَأَصُونُ نَفْسِي مِنْ إِثْمِي. ٢٣ 23
I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
فَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ وَفْقاً لِبِرِّي، بِحَسَبِ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. ٢٤ 24
Therefore YHWH has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيماً، وَمَعَ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً، ٢٥ 25
With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
وَمَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِراً، وَمَعَ الْمُعْوَجِّ تَكُونُ مُعْوَجّاً. ٢٦ 26
With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ الشَّعْبَ الْمُتَضَايِقَ، أَمَّا الْمُتَرَفِّعُونَ فَتَخْفِضُ عُيُونَهُمْ. ٢٧ 27
For you will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
لأَنَّكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي تَضِيءُ مِصْبَاحِي، وَتُحَوِّلُ ظَلامِي نُوراً ٢٨ 28
For you light my lamp. YHWH my God lights up my darkness.
لأَنِّي بِكَ اقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشاً، وَبِمَعُونَةِ إِلَهِي اخْتَرَقْتُ أَسْوَاراً. ٢٩ 29
For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
مَا أَكْمَلَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ! إِنَّ كَلِمَتَهُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَهُوَ تُرْسٌ يَحْمِي جَمِيعَ الْمُلْتَجِئِينَ إِلَيْهِ. ٣٠ 30
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of YHWH is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
فَمَنْ هُوَ إِلْهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟ ٣١ 31
For who is God, except YHWH? Who is a rock, besides our God,
يَشُدُّنِي اللهُ بِحِزامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ، وَيَجْعَلُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً، ٣٢ 32
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
يُثَبِّتُ قَدَمَيَّ كَأَقْدَامِ الإيَّلِ وَيُصْعِدُنِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي الْوَعِرَةِ. ٣٣ 33
He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.
يُدَرِّبُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى فَنِّ الْحَرْبِ، فَتَشُدُّ ذِرَاعَايَ قَوْساً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. ٣٤ 34
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
تَجْعَلُ أَيْضاً خَلاصَكَ تُرْساً لِي، فَتُعَضِّدُنِي بِيَمِينِكَ، وَيُعَظِّمُنِي لُطْفُكَ. ٣٥ 35
You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ. ٣٦ 36
You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ. ٣٧ 37
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النُّهُوضَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ. ٣٨ 38
I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِحِزَامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ تَأَهُّباً لِلْقِتَالِ. تُخْضِعُ لِسُلْطَانِي الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ. ٣٩ 39
For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ هَرَباً أَمَامِي. وَأُفْنِي الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي. ٤٠ 40
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
يَسْتَغِيثُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. يُنَادُونَ الرَّبَّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. ٤١ 41
They cried, but there was none to save; even to YHWH, but he did not answer them.
فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَالْغُبَارِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ، وَأَطْرَحُهُمْ مِثْلَ الطِّينِ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ. ٤٢ 42
Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ ثَوْرَاتِ الشَّعْبِ، وَتَجْعَلُنِي سَيِّداً لِلأُمَمِ، حَتَّى صَارَ شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ عَبْداً يَخْدِمُنِي. ٤٣ 43
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
فَمَا إِنْ يَسْمَعُوا أَمْرِي حَتَّى يُلَبُّوهُ. الْغُرَبَاءُ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي ٤٤ 44
As soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ. ٤٥ 45
they are not bound in chains.
حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُتَعَالٍ إِلَهُ خَلاصِي، ٤٦ 46
YHWH lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي، ٤٧ 47
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، رَافِعِي عَلَى الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ الطَّاغِي تُخَلِّصُنِي. ٤٨ 48
He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
لِهَذَا أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُرَتِّلُ لاِسْمِكَ. ٤٩ 49
Therefore I will praise you, YHWH, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
يَا مَانِحَ الْخَلاصِ الْعَظِيمِ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَصَانِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. ٥٠ 50
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
