< Psalms 71 >

1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.
يَا رَبُّ بِكَ احْتَمَيْتُ فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ.١
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
أَنْقِذْنِي وَفْقاً لِعَدْلِكَ وَنَجِّنِي. أَرْهِفْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي.٢
3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَأٍ أَلُوذُ بِها دَائِماً. أَنْتَ أَمَرْتَ بِخَلاصِي لأَنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي.٣
4 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
يَا إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ يَدِ الشِّرِّيرِ، مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَثِيمِ وَالظَّالِمِ.٤
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، وَمَوْضِعُ ثِقَتِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ.٥
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
عَلَيْكَ اعْتَمَدْتُ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِي، وَمِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي أَخْرَجْتَنِي، فَإِيَّاكَ أُسَبِّحُ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.٦
7 I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
صِرْتُ مَثَارَ اسْتِهْجَانٍ عِنْدَ كَثِيرِينَ، لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي الْقَوِيُّ.٧
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.
لِيَمْتَلِئْ فَمِي مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ وَمِنْ تَمْجِيدِكَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ.٨
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
لَا تَنْبِذْنِي فِي شَيْخُوخَتِي، وَلَا تَخْذِلْنِي عِنْدَ اضْمِحْلالِ قُوَّتِي.٩
10 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,
لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيَّ وَالْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ بِي يَتَآمَرُونَ مَعاً.١٠
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ تَرَكَهُ اللهُ، فَطَارِدُوهُ وَاقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ لأَنَّهُ لَا مُنْقِذَ لَهُ».١١
12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.
لَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي يَا اللهُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَا إِلَهِي.١٢
13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
لِيَخْزَ وَيَبِدْ خُصُومُ نَفْسِي. لِيَكْتَسِ الْعَارَ وَالْهَوَانَ الْمُلْتَمِسُونَ أَذِيَّتِي.١٣
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِيَّاكَ أَرْجُو دَائِماً، وَأُكْثِرُ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ.١٤
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].
أُخْبِرُ بِبِرِّكَ وَخَلاصِكَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَإِنْ كَانَا يَفُوقَانِ إِدْرَاكِي.١٥
16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.
أَجِيءُ (مُؤَيَّداً) بِقُوَّةِ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ، لأَذْكُرَ بِرَّكَ وَحْدَكَ.١٦
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:
قَدْ عَلَّمْتَنِي يَا اللهُ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، فَلَمْ أَكُفَّ لَحْظَةً عَنْ إِعْلانِ عَجَائِبِكَ.١٧
18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
لَا تَتْرُكْنِي فِي الشَّيْخُوخَةِ وَالشَّيْبِ يَا اللهُ، حَتَّى أُخْبِرَ هَذَا الْجِيلَ بِأَعْمَالِ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ (الْجِيلَ) الآتِي.١٨
19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
بِرُّكَ مُتَعَالٍ يَا اللهُ، وَأَعْمَالُكَ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَ عَظِيمَةٌ، فَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ يَا اللهُ!١٩
20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;
أَنْتَ الَّذِي اجْتَزْتَ بِنَا ضِيقَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً وَقَاسِيَةً، وَلَكِنَّكَ تَعُودُ فَتُحْيِينَا، وَتُصْعِدُنَا مِنْ جَدِيدٍ مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ.٢٠
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
تَزِيدُنِي شَرَفاً وَتُطَوِّقُنِي بِتَعْزِيَتِكَ.٢١
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.
سَأَحْمَدُكَ وَأُشِيدُ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى الرَّبَابِ يَا إِلَهِي. أَشْدُو لَكَ عَلَى الْعُودِ يَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٢٢
23 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
تَبْتَهِجُ شَفَتَايَ عِنْدَمَا أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ، وَكَذَلِكَ نَفْسِي الَّتِي فَدَيْتَهَا.٢٣
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
وَيَلْهَجُ لِسَانِي بِبِرِّكَ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لأَنَّ السَّاعِينَ إِلَى أَذِيَّتِي يَحِلُّ حَتْماً بِهِمِ الْخِزْيُ وَالْعَارُ.٢٤
