Psalms 102

1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

١ صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.

2 Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily.

٢ لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

٣ لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ.

4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

٤ مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي.

5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

٥ مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.

6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

٦ أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ.

7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

٧ سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ.

8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

٨ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ.

9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

٩ إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ،

10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

١٠ بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.

11 My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

١١ أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.

12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

١٢ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

13 Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

١٣ أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.

14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

١٤ لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا.

15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

١٥ فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.

16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

١٦ إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.

17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

١٧ ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.

18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

١٨ يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ:

19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

١٩ «لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ،

20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

٢٠ لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ».

21 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

٢١ لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

٢٢ عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

٢٣ ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.

٢٤ أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ.

25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.

٢٥ مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

٢٦ هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ.

27 But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.

٢٧ وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

٢٨ أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».
