صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلثَّانِي 22

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ دَاوُدُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ،

And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

٢ 2 فَقَالَ: «اَلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي،

and he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;

٣ 3 إِلَهُ صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي. مَلْجَإِي وَمَنَاصِي. مُخَلِّصِي، مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ تُخَلِّصُنِي.

The God of my rock, in him will I trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, thou savest me from violence.

٤ 4 أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّ أَمْوَاجَ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. سُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.

For the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

٦ 6 حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَحَاطَتْ بِي. شُرُكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ أَصَابَتْنِي. (Sheol h7585)

The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)

٧ 7 فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry [came] into his ears.

٨ 8 فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ. أُسُسُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ، لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ.

Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

٩ 9 صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

١٠ 10 طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under his feet.

١١ 11 رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ، وَطَارَ وَرُئِيَ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

١٢ 12 جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّاتٍ، مِيَاهًا حَاشِكَةً وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ.

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

١٣ 13 مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ جَمْرُ نَارٍ.

At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.

١٤ 14 أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ.

The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.

١٥ 15 أَرْسَلَ سِهَامًا فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، بَرْقًا فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ.

And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

١٦ 16 فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِهِ.

Then the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare, by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

١٧ 17 أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي، نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.

He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;

١٨ 18 أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّيَ ٱلْقَوِيِّ، مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

١٩ 19 أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

٢٠ 20 أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرَّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

٢١ 21 يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ.

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

٢٣ 23 لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضُهُ لَا أَحِيدُ عَنْهَا.

For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

٢٤ 24 وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا لَدَيْهِ، وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.

I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

٢٥ 25 فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيَّ كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَتِي أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eyesight.

٢٦ 26 «مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا.

With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;

٢٧ 27 مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا.

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.

٢٨ 28 وَتُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَعَيْنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلْمُتَرَفِّعِينَ فَتَضَعُهُمْ.

And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ سِرَاجِي يَارَبُّ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يُضِيءُ ظُلْمَتِي.

For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.

٣٠ 30 لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا. بِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.

For by thee I run upon a troop: by my God do I leap over a wall.

٣١ 31 ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ، وَقَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ.

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.

٣٢ 32 لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ غَيْرُ إِلَهِنَا؟

For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

٣٣ 33 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُعَزِّزُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ، وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا.

God is my strong fortress: and he guideth the perfect in his way.

٣٤ 34 ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي

He maketh his feet like hinds’ [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places.

٣٥ 35 ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.

He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.

٣٦ 36 وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.

٣٧ 37 تُوَسِّعُ خَطْوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ كَعْبَايَ.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.

٣٨ 38 أَلْحَقُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُهْلِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.

I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

٣٩ 39 أُفْنِيهِمْ وَأَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَقُومُونَ، بَلْ يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ.

And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.

٤٠ 40 «تُنَطِّقُنِي قُوَّةً لِلْقِتَالِ، وَتَصْرَعُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ تَحْتِي.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

٤١ 41 وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي وَمُبْغِضِيَّ فَأُفْنِيهِمْ.

Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.

٤٢ 42 يَتَطَلَّعُونَ فَلَيْسَ مُخَلِّصٌ، إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُهُمْ.

They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

٤٣ 43 فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَغُبَارِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَدُقُّهُمْ وَأَدُوسُهُمْ.

Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.

٤٤ 44 وَتُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ شَعْبِي، وَتَحْفَظُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي.

Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people; thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

٤٥ 45 بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي.

The strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.

٤٦ 46 بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.

The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.

٤٧ 47 حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفَعٌ إِلَهُ صَخْرَةِ خَلَاصِي.

The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation:

٤٨ 48 ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلْمُخْضِعُ شُعُوبًا تَحْتِي،

Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,

٤٩ 49 وَٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ أَعْدَائِي، وَيَرْفَعُنِي فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَيُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ رَجُلِ ٱلظُّلْمِ.

And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man.

٥٠ 50 لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَلِٱسْمِكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name.

٥١ 51 بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ».

Great deliverance giveth he to his king: and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
