< المَزامِير 7 >
أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، إِلَيْكَ الْتَجَأْتُ، فَأَنْقِذْنِي وَنَجِّنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُطَارِدِيَّ، | ١ 1 |
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
لِئَلاَّ يَفْتَرِسَ الْعَدُوُّ نَفْسِي كَالأَسَدِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُنِي. | ٢ 2 |
Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ اقْتَرَفْتُ هَذِهِ الإِسَاءَةَ، وَكَانَتْ يَدَايَ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَتَا هَذَا الإِثْمَ، | ٣ 3 |
O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسَأْتُ لِمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيَّ وَسَلَبْتُ عَدُوِّي مِنْ غَيْرِ سَبَبٍ، | ٤ 4 |
if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
إِذَنْ فَلْيُطَارِدِ الْعَدُوُّ نَفْسِي ويَنْزِعْهَا مِنِّي، وَلْيَدُسْ فِي الأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي، وَيُعَفِّرْ فِي التُّرَابِ شَرَفِي. | ٥ 5 |
Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
انْهَضْ يَارَبُّ فِي احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِكَ، وَانْتَصِبْ فِي وَجْهِ سَخَطِ خُصُومِي، يَامَنْ أَوْصَيْتَ بِالْعَدْلِ. | ٦ 6 |
Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command.
لِتُحِطْ بِكَ جَمَاعَةُ الشُّعُوبِ فَتَحْكُمَهَا مِنْ مِنَصَّةِ الْقَضَاءِ الْعَالِيَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.
إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَدِينُ الأُمَمَ. اقضِ لِي يَارَبُّ كَحَقِّي، بِحَسَبِ مَا فِيَّ مِنْ كَمَالٍ. | ٨ 8 |
The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
ضَعْ حَدّاً لِشَرِّ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَثْبِتْ بَرَاءَةَ الأَبْرَارِ، أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ الْعَادِلُ فَاحِصُ الْقُلُوبِ وَالدَّخَائِلِ. | ٩ 9 |
Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.
مَلْجَإِي عِنْدَ اللهِ مُخَلِّصِ مُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
اللهُ قَاضٍ عَادِلٌ، وَهُوَ إِلَهٌ يَسْخَطُ عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. | ١١ 11 |
God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
صَقَلَ سَيْفَهُ لِيَضْرِبَ بِهِ الشِّرِّيرَ الَّذِي لاَ يَتُوبُ. وَتَّرَ قَوْسَهُ وَهَيَّأَهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
أَعَدَّ لَهُ الأَسْلِحَةَ الْقَتَّالَةَ، وَجَعَلَ سِهَامَهُ مُحْرِقَةً. | ١٣ 13 |
And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
هُوَذَا الْعَدُوُّ يَتَمَخَّضُ بِالإِثْمِ، يَحْبَلُ بِالأَذَى، وَيَلِدُ كَذِباً. | ١٤ 14 |
Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
حَفَرَ بِئْراً وَعَمَّقَهَا، فَسَقَطَ فِيهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
شَرُّهُ يَرْتَدُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَظُلْمُهُ يَهْبِطُ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
إِنِّي أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَدَالَتِهِ، وَأَتَرَنَّمُ لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ العَلِيِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
