Psalms 18
1 For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of Yahweh, who spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. لِعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ. قَصِيدَةٌ خَاطَبَ بِها الرَّبَّ يَوْمَ أَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَا رَبُّ، يَا قُوَّتِي. | ١ |
2 Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
| الرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَرُكْنُ خَلاصِي، وَقَلْعَتِي الْحَصِينَةُ. | ٢ |
3 I call on Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
| أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الْجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. | ٣ |
4 The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
| قَدْ أَحْدَقَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَفْزَعَتْنِي سُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ. | ٤ |
| أَحَاطَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فِخَاخُ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585) | ٥ |
6 In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
| فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ وَصَرَخْتُ إِلَى إِلَهِي، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ، وَصَعِدَ صُرَاخِي أَمَامَهُ، بَلْ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَتَزَلْزَلَتْ. ارْتَجَفَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ الْجِبَالِ وَاهْتَزَّتْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ. | ٧ |
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
| نَفَثَ أَنْفُهُ دُخَاناً، وَانْقَذَفَتْ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَكَأَنَّهَا جَمْرٌ مُلْتَهِبٌ. | ٨ |
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
| طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، فَكَانَتِ الْغُيُومُ الْمُتَجَهِّمَةُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٩ |
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
| امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَطَارَ مُسْرِعاً عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيْاحِ. | ١٠ |
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
| جَعَلَ الظُّلْمَةَ سِتَاراً لَهُ، وَصَارَ ضَبَابُ الْمِيَاهِ وَسُحُبُ الْسَّمَاءِ الدَّاكِنَةُ مِظَلَّتَهُ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِهِ. | ١١ |
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
| مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِهِ عَبَرَتِ السُّحُبُ أَمَامَهُ. حَدَثَتْ عَاصِفَةُ بَرَدٍ وَبَرْقٍ كَالْجَمْرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ. | ١٢ |
13 Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
| أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، أَطْلَقَ الْعَلِيُّ صَوْتَهُ فَانْهَمَرَ بَرَدٌ، وَانْدَلَعَتْ نَارُ! | ١٣ |
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
| أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فَبَدَّدَ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
| ظَهَرَتْ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ الْعَمِيقَةِ، وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَمِنْ أَنْفِكَ اللّافِحَةِ. | ١٥ |
16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
| مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْعُلَى وَأَمْسَكَنِي، وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنَ السُّيُولِ الْغَامِرَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
| أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي الْقَويِّ، وَمِنَ مُبْغِضِيَّ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَقْوَى مِنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
| تَصَدَّوْا لِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي، | ١٨ |
19 He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
| وَاقْتَادَنِي إِلَى مَكَانٍ رَحِيبٍ. أَنْقَذَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. | ١٩ |
20 Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
| يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى بِرِّي وَيُعَوِّضُنِي حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ، | ٢٠ |
21 For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
| لأَنِّي سَلَكْتُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ أَعْصَ إِلَهِي. | ٢١ |
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
| جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَهُ دَائِماً نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَلَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِهِ. | ٢٢ |
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
| وَأَكُونُ مَعَهُ كَامِلاً وَأَصُونُ نَفْسِي مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ٢٣ |
24 Therefore Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
| فَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ وَفْقاً لِبِرِّي، بِحَسَبِ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
| مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيماً، وَمَعَ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً، | ٢٥ |
26 With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
| وَمَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِراً، وَمَعَ الْمُعْوَجِّ تَكُونُ مُعْوَجّاً. | ٢٦ |
27 For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
| لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ الشَّعْبَ الْمُتَضَايِقَ، أَمَّا الْمُتَرَفِّعُونَ فَتَخْفِضُ عُيُونَهُمْ. | ٢٧ |
28 For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.
| لأَنَّكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي تَضِيءُ مِصْبَاحِي، وَتُحَوِّلُ ظَلامِي نُوراً | ٢٨ |
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
| لأَنِّي بِكَ اقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشاً، وَبِمَعُونَةِ إِلَهِي اخْتَرَقْتُ أَسْوَاراً. | ٢٩ |
30 As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
| مَا أَكْمَلَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ! إِنَّ كَلِمَتَهُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَهُوَ تُرْسٌ يَحْمِي جَمِيعَ الْمُلْتَجِئِينَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٣٠ |
31 For who is God, except Yahweh? Who is a rock, besides our God,
| فَمَنْ هُوَ إِلْهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟ | ٣١ |
32 the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
| يَشُدُّنِي اللهُ بِحِزامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ، وَيَجْعَلُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً، | ٣٢ |
33 He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
| يُثَبِّتُ قَدَمَيَّ كَأَقْدَامِ الإيَّلِ وَيُصْعِدُنِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي الْوَعِرَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
| يُدَرِّبُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى فَنِّ الْحَرْبِ، فَتَشُدُّ ذِرَاعَايَ قَوْساً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. | ٣٤ |
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
| تَجْعَلُ أَيْضاً خَلاصَكَ تُرْساً لِي، فَتُعَضِّدُنِي بِيَمِينِكَ، وَيُعَظِّمُنِي لُطْفُكَ. | ٣٥ |
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
| وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ. | ٣٦ |
37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
| أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ. | ٣٧ |
38 I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
| أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النُّهُوضَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ. | ٣٨ |
39 For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
| تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِحِزَامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ تَأَهُّباً لِلْقِتَالِ. تُخْضِعُ لِسُلْطَانِي الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ. | ٣٩ |
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
| يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ هَرَباً أَمَامِي. وَأُفْنِي الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي. | ٤٠ |
41 They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.
| يَسْتَغِيثُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. يُنَادُونَ الرَّبَّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. | ٤١ |
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
| فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَالْغُبَارِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ، وَأَطْرَحُهُمْ مِثْلَ الطِّينِ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ. | ٤٢ |
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
| تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ ثَوْرَاتِ الشَّعْبِ، وَتَجْعَلُنِي سَيِّداً لِلأُمَمِ، حَتَّى صَارَ شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ عَبْداً يَخْدِمُنِي. | ٤٣ |
44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
| فَمَا إِنْ يَسْمَعُوا أَمْرِي حَتَّى يُلَبُّوهُ. الْغُرَبَاءُ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي | ٤٤ |
45 The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
| الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ. | ٤٥ |
46 Yahweh lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
| حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُتَعَالٍ إِلَهُ خَلاصِي، | ٤٦ |
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
| الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي، | ٤٧ |
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
| مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، رَافِعِي عَلَى الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ الطَّاغِي تُخَلِّصُنِي. | ٤٨ |
49 Therefore I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
| لِهَذَا أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُرَتِّلُ لاِسْمِكَ. | ٤٩ |
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.
| يَا مَانِحَ الْخَلاصِ الْعَظِيمِ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَصَانِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٥٠ |
