المَزامِير 19

١ 1 السَّمَاوَاتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَجْدِ اللهِ، وَالْفَلَكُ يُخْبِرُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.

٢ 2 بِذَلِكَ تَتَحَادَثُ الأَيَّامُ أَبْلَغَ حَدِيثٍ، وَتَتَخَاطَبُ بِهِ اللَّيَالِي.

Day after day it sends out its word, and night after night it gives knowledge.

٣ 3 لاَ يَصْدُرُ عَنْهَا كَلاَمٌ، لَكِنَّ صَوْتَهَا يُسمَعُ وَاضِحاً.

There are no words or language; their voice makes no sound.

٤ 4 انْطَلَقَ صَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا وَكَلاَمُهُمْ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الْعَالَمِ. جَعَلَ لِلشَّمْسِ مَسْكَناً فِيهَا،

Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he put a tent for the sun,

٥ 5 وَهِيَ مِثْلُ الْعَرِيسِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ مُخْدَعِهِ، كَالْعَدَّاءِ الْمُبْتَهِجِ لِلسِّبَاقِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

Who is like a newly married man coming from his bride-tent, and is glad like a strong runner starting on his way.

٦ 6 تَنْطَلِقُ مِنْ أَقْصَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَدُورُ إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا، وَلاَ شَيْءَ يَحْتَجِبُ مِنْ حَرِّهَا.

His going out is from the end of the heaven, and his circle to the ends of it; there is nothing which is not open to his heat.

٧ 7 شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ كَامِلَةٌ تُنْعِشُ النَّفْسَ. شَهَادَةُ الرَّبِّ صَادِقَةٌ تَجْعَلُ الْجَاهِلَ حَكِيماً.

The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

٨ 8 وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ تُفَرِّحُ الْقَلْبَ. أَمْرُ الرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ يُنِيرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ.

The orders of the Lord are right, making glad the heart: the rule of the Lord is holy, giving light to the eyes.

٩ 9 مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ طَاهِرَةٌ ثَابِتَةٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأَحْكَامُ الرَّبِّ حَقٌّ وَعَادِلَةٌ كُلُّهَا.

The fear of the Lord is clean, and has no end; the decisions of the Lord are true and full of righteousness.

١٠ 10 إِنَّهَا أَشْهَى مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ، وَهِيَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ بَلِ الْقَطْرِ السَّائِلِ مِنْ أَقْرَاصِ الشَّهْدِ.

More to be desired are they than gold, even than much shining gold; sweeter than the dropping honey.

١١ 11 عَبْدُكَ يَهْتَدِي بِهَا، وَفِي صَوْنِهَا ثَوَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.

١٢ 12 مَنْ يَتَنَبَّهُ إِلَى سَهَوَاتِهِ؟ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا الْخَفِيَّةِ خَلِّصْنِي،

Who has full knowledge of his errors? make me clean from secret evil.

١٣ 13 وَمِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ أَيْضاً احْفَظْ عَبْدَكَ، وَلاَ تَدَعْهَا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. عِنْدَئِذٍ أَكُونُ كَامِلاً وَأَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ عَظِيمٍ.

Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.

١٤ 14 لِتَكُنْ أَقْوَالُ فَمِي وَخَوَاطِرُ قَلْبِي مَقْبُولَةً لَدَيْكَ يَارَبُّ، يَاصَخْرَتِي وَفَادِيَّ.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes, O Lord, my strength and my salvation.
