المَزامِير 46
| اللهُ لَنَا مَلْجَأٌ وَقُوَّةٌ، عَوْنُهُ مُتَوَافِرٌ لَنَا دَائِماً فِي الضِّيقَاتِ. | ١ 1 |
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
| لِذَلِكَ لاَ نَخَافُ وَلَوْ تَزَحْزَحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَانْقَلَبَتِ الْجِبَالُ إِلَى قَلْبِ الْبِحَارِ. | ٢ 2 |
Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;
| تَهِيجُ وَتُزْبِدُ مِيَاهُهَا؛ تَتَزَلْزَلُ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ عُنْفِ جَيَشَانِهَا. | ٣ 3 |
though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
| تَفْرَحُ مَدِينَةُ اللهِ حَيْثُ مَسَاكِنُ الْعَلِيِّ بِنَهْرٍ دَائِمِ الْجَرَيَانِ. | ٤ 4 |
There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of haElyon [the Most High].
| اللهُ فِي وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. يُعِينُهَا اللهُ فِي الفَجْرِ المُبَكِّرِ. | ٥ 5 |
God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
| مَاجَتِ الأُمَمُ وَهَاجَتْ، فَتَزَلْزَلَتِ الْمَمَالِكُ، وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ دَوَّى بِصَوْتِهِ حَتَّى ذَابَتِ الأَرْضُ. | ٦ 6 |
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.
| رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ مَعَنَا، مَلْجَأُنَا إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٧ 7 |
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is with us. The God of Jacob [Supplanter] is our refuge. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
| تَعَالَوْا وَانْظُرُوا أَعْمَالَ اللهِ الَّذِي صَنَعَ عَجَائِبَ فِي الأَرْضِ | ٨ 8 |
Come, see Adonai’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.
| يَقْضِي عَلَى الْحُرُوبِ فِي الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. يَكْسِرُ الْقَوْسَ وَيَشُقُّ الرُّمْحَ، وَيُحْرِقُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ الْحَرْبِيَّةَ بِالنَّارِ. | ٩ 9 |
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.
| اسْتَكِينُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ، أَتَعَالَى بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأَتَعَالَى فِي الأَرْضِ. | ١٠ 10 |
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”
| رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ مَعَنَا. مَلْجَأُنَا إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ. | ١١ 11 |
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is with us. The God of Jacob [Supplanter] is our refuge. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
