اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 102

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِمِسْكِينٍ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ يَارَبُّ، ٱسْتَمِعْ صَلَاتِي، وَلْيَدْخُلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي.

A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.

٢ 2 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ فِي يَوْمِ أَدْعُوكَ. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

Hide not Thy face from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ فِي دُخَانٍ، وَعِظَامِي مِثْلُ وَقِيدٍ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ.

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

٤ 4 مَلْفُوحٌ كَٱلْعُشْبِ وَيَابِسٌ قَلْبِي، حَتَّى سَهَوْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ خُبْزِي.

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

٥ 5 مِنْ صَوْتِ تَنَهُّدِي لَصِقَ عَظْمِي بِلَحْمِي.

By reason of the voice of my sighing my bones cleave to my flesh.

٦ 6 أَشْبَهْتُ قُوقَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ بُومَةِ ٱلْخِرَبِ.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

٧ 7 سَهِدْتُ وَصِرْتُ كَعُصْفُورٍ مُنْفَرِدٍ عَلَى ٱلسَّطْحِ.

I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.

٨ 8 ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِيَ. ٱلْحَنِقُونَ عَلَيَّ حَلَفُوا عَلَيَّ.

Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.

٩ 9 إِنِّي قَدْ أَكَلْتُ ٱلرَّمَادَ مِثْلَ ٱلْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِدُمُوعٍ،

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

١٠ 10 بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ حَمَلْتَنِي وَطَرَحْتَنِي.

Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

١١ 11 أَيَّامِي كَظِلٍّ مَائِلٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ يَبِسْتُ.

My days are like a lengthening shadow; and I am withered like grass.

١٢ 12 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ جَالِسٌ، وَذِكْرُكَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

But Thou, O LORD, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations.

١٣ 13 أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِأَنَّهُ وَقْتُ ٱلرَّأْفَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ جَاءَ ٱلْمِيعَادُ.

Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come.

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ عَبِيدَكَ قَدْ سُرُّوا بِحِجَارَتِهَا، وَحَنُّوا إِلَى تُرَابِهَا.

For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.

١٥ 15 فَتَخْشَى ٱلْأُمَمُ ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ.

So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory;

١٦ 16 إِذَا بَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ صِهْيَوْنَ يُرَى بِمَجْدِهِ.

When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;

١٧ 17 ٱلْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ ٱلْمُضْطَرِّ، وَلَمْ يَرْذُلْ دُعَاءَهُمْ.

When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, and hath not despised their prayer.

١٨ 18 يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلدَّوْرِ ٱلْآخِرِ، وشَعْبٌ سَوْفَ يُخْلَقُ يُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّبَّ:

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

١٩ 19 «لِأَنَّهُ أَشْرَفَ مِنْ عُلْوِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظَرَ،

For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

٢٠ 20 لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ ٱلْأَسِيرِ، لِيُطْلِقَ بَنِي ٱلْمَوْتِ».

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

٢١ 21 لِكَيْ يُحَدَّثَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبِتَسْبِيحِهِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ،

That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;

٢٢ 22 عِنْدَ ٱجْتِمَاعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ مَعًا وَٱلْمَمَالِكِ لِعِبَادَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

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

٢٣ 23 ضَعَّفَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ قُوَّتِي، قَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي.

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

٢٤ 24 أَقُولُ: «يَا إِلَهِي، لَا تَقْبِضْنِي فِي نِصْفِ أَيَّامِي. إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ سِنُوكَ.

I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.

٢٥ 25 مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ.

Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

٢٦ 26 هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَأَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، كَرِدَاءٍ تُغَيِّرُهُنَّ فَتَتَغَيَّرُ.

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 pass away;

٢٧ 27 وَأَنْتَ هُوَ وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ.

But Thou art the selfsame, and Thy years shall have no end.

٢٨ 28 أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَسْكُنُونَ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تُثَبَّتُ أَمَامَكَ».

The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.'
