Psalms 22

1 For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، عَلَى أَيِّلَةِ الصَّبَاحِ مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ إِلَهِي، إِلَهِي، لِمَاذَا تَرَكْتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تَبَاعَدْتَ عَنْ خَلاصِي وَعَنْ سَمَاعِ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدَاتِي؟

2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

٢ إِلَهِي، أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَغِيثاً فِي النَّهَارِ فَلَا تُجِيبُنِي، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ فَلَا رَاحَةَ لِي،

3 But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

٣ مَعْ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْقُدُّوسُ الَّذِي أَقَمْتَ عَرْشَكَ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِكَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُكَ.

4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.

٤ عَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلَ آبَاؤُنَا، وَبِكَ وَثِقُوا، وَأَنْتَ قَدْ نَجَّيْتَهُمْ.

5 They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

٥ إِلَيْكَ صَرَخُوا فَنَجَوْا، وَعَلَيْكَ اتَّكَلُوا فَلَمْ يَخْزَوْا.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

٦ أَمَّا أَنَا فَدُودَةٌ لَا إِنْسَانٌ. عَارٌ فِي نَظَرِ الْبَشَرِ، وَمَنْبُوذٌ فِي عَيْنَيْ شَعْبِي.

7 All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

٧ جَمِيعُ الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي، يَفْتَحُونَ شِفَاهَهُمْ عَلَيَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَيَهُزُّونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ قَائِلِينَ:

8 “He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

٨ «سَلَّمَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ أَمْرَهُ، فَلْيُنْجِدْهُ. لِيُنْقِذْهُ مَادَامَ قَدْ سُرَّ بِهِ».

9 But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.

٩ أَنْتَ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ الرَّحِمِ. أَنْتَ جَعَلْتَنِي أَنَامُ مُطْمَئِنّاً وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ عَلَى صَدْرِ أُمِّي.

10 I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

١٠ أَنْتَ مُتَّكَلِي مِنْ قَبْلِ مِيلادِي، فَأَنْتَ إِلَهِي مُنْذُ كُنْتُ جَنِيناً.

11 Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.

١١ لَا تَقِفْ بَعِيداً عَنِّي، لأَنَّ الضِّيقَ قَرِيبٌ وَلَا مُعِينَ لِي.

12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

١٢ حَاصَرَنِي أَعْدَاءُ أَقْوِيَاءُ، كَأَنَّهُمْ ثِيرَانُ بَاشَانَ الْقَوِيَّةُ.

13 They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

١٣ فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُم كَأَنَّهُمْ أُسُودٌ مُفْتَرِسَةٌ مُزَمْجِرَةٌ.

14 I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.

١٤ صَارَتْ قُوَّتِي كَالْمَاءِ، وَانْحَلَّتْ عِظَامِي. صَارَ قَلْبِي كَالشَّمْعِ، وَذَابَ فِي دَاخِلِي.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

١٥ جَفَّتْ نَضَارَتِي كَقِطْعَةِ الْفَخَّارِ، وَالْتَصَقَ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي. إِلَى تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ تَضَعُنِي.

16 For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

١٦ أَحَاطَ بِي الأَدْنِيَاءُ. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ طَوَّقَتْنِي. ثَقَبُوا يَدَيَّ وَرِجْلَيَّ.

17 I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

١٧ صِرْتُ لِهُزَالِي أُحْصِي عِظَامِي، وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَنِي وَيُحْدِقُونَ فِيَّ.

18 They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.

١٨ يَتَقَاسَمُونَ ثِيَابِي فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ، وَعَلَى لِبَاسِي يُلْقُونَ قُرْعَةً.

19 But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!

١٩ يَا رَبُّ، لَا تَتَبَاعَدْ عَنِّي. يَا قُوَّتِي أَسْرِعْ إِلَى نَجْدَتِي.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.

٢٠ أَنْقِذْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ مَخَالِبِ الأَدْنِيَاءِ حَيَاتِي.

21 Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.

٢١ خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ فَمِ الأَسَدِ، وَمِنْ بَيْنِ قُرُونِ الثِّيرَانِ الْوَحْشِيَّةِ اسْتَجِبْ لِي.

22 I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

٢٢ أُعْلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإِخْوَتِي، وَأُسَبِّحُكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ.

23 You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

٢٣ سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ يَا خَائِفِيهِ. مَجِّدُوهُ يَا جَمِيعَ نَسْلِ يَعْقُوبَ، واخْشَوْهُ يَا جَمِيعَ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

٢٤ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحْتَقِرْ بُؤْسَ الْمِسْكِينِ، وَلَا حَجَبَ عَنْهُ وَجْهَهُ، بَلِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ عِنْدَمَا صَرَخَ إِلَيْهِ.

25 My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

٢٥ أَنْتَ تُلْهِمُنِي تَسْبِيحَكَ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَمَاعَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، فَأُوْفِي بِنُذُورِي أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ خَائِفِيهِ.

26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

٢٦ يَأْكُلُ الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَشْبَعُونَ، وَطَالِبُو الرَّبِّ يُسَبِّحُونَهُ. تَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

٢٧ تَتَذَكَّرُ جَمِيعُ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ وَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ، وَتَتَعَبَّدُ أَمَامَكَ جَمِيعُ قَبَائِلِ الأُمَمِ.

28 For the kingdom is Yahweh’s. He is the ruler over the nations.

٢٨ لأَنَّ الْمُلْكَ لِلرَّبِّ، وَهُوَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَى الأُمَمِ.

29 All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

٢٩ جَمِيعُ عُظَمَاءِ الأَرْضِ يَحْتَفِلُونَ وَيَسْجُدُونَ. يَنْحَنِي أَمَامَهُ الْهَابِطُونَ إِلَى التُّرَابِ وَالْفَانُونَ،

30 Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.

٣٠ يَتَعَبَّدُ نَسْلُهُمْ لِلهِ، وَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنِ الرَّبِّ لِلْجِيلِ الآتِي.

31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.

٣١ يَأْتُونَ وَيُخْبِرُونَ بِبِرِّهِ وَبِمُعْجِزَاتِهِ شَعْباً لَمْ يُولَدْ بَعْدُ.
