المَزامِير 36

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، لِعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ يُنْبِئُنِي قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي بِمَعْصِيَةِ الشِّرِّيرِ، الَّذِي لَا يَرْتَدِعُ خَوْفاً مِنَ اللهِ.

[For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of YHWH.] Transgression speaks to the wicked within his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.

٢ 2 فَإِنَّهُ يَتَمَلَّقُ نَفْسَهُ (لِيُقْنِعَهَا) أَنَّ خَطِيئَتَهُ الْمَمْقُوتَةَ لَنْ تُكْتَشَفَ وَتُدَانَ.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

٣ 3 كَلامُ فَمِهِ إِثْمٌ وَنِفَاقٌ، وَقَدْ كَفَّ عَنِ التَّعَقُّلِ لأَجْلِ عَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

٤ 4 يَتَفَكَّرُ فِي الْبَاطِلِ عَلَى سَرِيرِه لَيْلاً. وَيَسْلُكُ فِي سَبِيلِ السُّوءِ لَا يَسْتَنْكِرُ الشَّرَّ.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.

٥ 5 يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأَمَانَتَكَ تَبْلُغُ الْغُيُومَ.

Your loving kindness, YHWH, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

٦ 6 عَدْلُكَ ثَابِتٌ مِثْلُ الْجِبَالِ الشَّامِخَةِ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ كَالْعُمْقِ السَّحِيقِ. وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَحْفَظُ النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ جَمِيعاً.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. YHWH, you preserve man and animal.

٧ 7 اللهُمَّ، مَا أَثْمَنَ رَحْمَتَكَ! فَإِنَّ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ يَحْتَمُونَ فِي ظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ.

How precious is your loving kindness, God. The descendants of Adam take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

٨ 8 يَرْتَوُونَ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ بَيْتِكَ، وَمِنْ نَهْرِ نِعَمِكَ تَسْقِيهِمْ.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

٩ 9 لأَنَّ عِنْدَكَ نَبْعَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَبِنُورِكَ نَرَى النُّورَ.

For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.

١٠ 10 أَدِمْ رَحْمَتَكَ لِعَارِفيِكَ، وَعَدْلَكَ لِذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ.

Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.

١١ 11 لَا تَدَعْ قَدَمَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِ تَبْلُغُنِي، وَيَدَ الأَشْرَارِ تُزَحْزِحُنِي.

Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

١٢ 12 هُنَاكَ سَقَطَ فَاعِلُو الإِثْمِ، طُرِحُوا، عَجَزُوا عَنِ النُّهُوضِ.

There evildoers are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
