المَزامِير 28

١ 1 يَارَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَصْرُخُ، فَلاَ تَتَصَامَمْ عَنِّي يَاصَخْرَتِي، لِئَلاَّ أَكُونَ، إِذَا سَكَتَّ عَنِّي، مِثْلَ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ.

[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

٢ 2 اسْتَمِعْ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي عِنْدَمَا أَسْتَغِيثُ بِكَ، رَافِعاً يَدَيَّ نَحْوَ مِحْرَابِ قَدَاسَتِكَ.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

٣ 3 لاَ تَطْرَحْنِي مَعَ الأَشْرَارِ وَفَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، الَّذِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْوُدَّ لأَصْحَابِهِمْ، وَهُمْ يَكُنُّونَ لَهُمُ الشَّرَّ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in their hearts.

٤ 4 جَازِهِمْ وَفْقاً لِفِعْلِهِمْ وَشَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْطِهِمْ مَا يَسْتَحِقُّ صَنِيعُ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ جَزَاءَهُمْ.

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

٥ 5 وَلأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يُبَالُونَ بِأَفْعَالِ الرَّبِّ وَلاَ بِصَنِيعِ يَدَيْهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُدَمِّرُهُمْ وَلاَ يُعِيدُ بِنَاءَهُمْ.

Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ فَقَدْ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي.

Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

٧ 7 الرَّبُّ قُوَّتِي وَتُرْسِي. عَلَيْهِ اتَّكَلَ قَلْبِي، فَنِلْتُ الْغَوْثَ. لِذَلِكَ يَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبِي وَأَحْمَدُهُ بِنَشِيدِي.

The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

٨ 8 الرَّبُّ قُوَّةُ شَعْبِهِ، وَهُوَ حِصْنُ خَلاَصِ مَسِيحِهِ.

The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength of his anointed.

٩ 9 خَلِّصْ يَارَبُّ شَعْبَكَ وَبَارِكْ مِيرَاثَكَ. كُنْ رَاعِياً لَهُمْ وَاحْمِلْهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
