اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 103

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ، وَكُلُّ مَا فِي بَاطِنِي لِيُبَارِكِ ٱسْمَهُ ٱلْقُدُّوسَ.

For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.

٢ 2 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ، وَلَا تَنْسَيْ كُلَّ حَسَنَاتِهِ.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.

٣ 3 ٱلَّذِي يَغْفِرُ جَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِكِ. ٱلَّذِي يَشْفِي كُلَّ أَمْرَاضِكِ.

Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.

٤ 4 ٱلَّذِي يَفْدِي مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ حَيَاتَكِ. ٱلَّذِي يُكَلِّلُكِ بِٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَٱلرَّأْفَةِ.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

٥ 5 ٱلَّذِي يُشْبِعُ بِٱلْخَيْرِ عُمْرَكِ، فَيَتَجَدَّدُ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّسْرِ شَبَابُكِ.

Who satisfieth thy desire with good things: thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.

٦ 6 اَلرَّبُّ مُجْرِي ٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْقَضَاءِ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمَظْلُومِينَ.

The Lord doth mercies, and judgment for all that suffer wrong.

٧ 7 عَرَّفَ مُوسَى طُرُقَهُ، وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَفْعَالَهُ.

He hath made his ways known to Moses: his wills to the children of Israel.

٨ 8 ٱلرَّبُّ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، طَوِيلُ ٱلرُّوحِ وَكَثِيرُ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ.

The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.

٩ 9 لَا يُحَاكِمُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَلَا يَحْقِدُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.

١٠ 10 لَمْ يَصْنَعْ مَعَنَا حَسَبَ خَطَايَانَا، وَلَمْ يُجَازِنَا حَسَبَ آثَامِنَا.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ مِثْلُ ٱرْتِفَاعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَوْقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَوِيَتْ رَحْمَتُهُ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ.

For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.

١٢ 12 كَبُعْدِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ أَبْعَدَ عَنَّا مَعَاصِيَنَا.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.

١٣ 13 كَمَا يَتَرَأَفُ ٱلْأَبُ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ يَتَرَأَفُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ.

As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him:

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ جِبْلَتَنَا. يَذْكُرُ أَنَّنَا تُرَابٌ نَحْنُ.

For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust:

١٥ 15 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ مِثْلُ ٱلْعُشْبِ أَيَّامُهُ. كَزَهَرِ ٱلْحَقْلِ كَذَلِكَ يُزْهِرُ.

Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ رِيحًا تَعْبُرُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَا يَكُونُ، وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ مَوْضِعُهُ بَعْدُ.

For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.

١٧ 17 أَمَّا رَحْمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ، وَعَدْلُهُ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْبَنِينَ،

But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,

١٨ 18 لِحَافِظِي عَهْدِهِ وَذَاكِرِي وَصَايَاهُ لِيَعْمَلُوهَا.

To such as keep his covenant, And are mindful of his commandments to do them.

١٩ 19 اَلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ ثَبَّتَ كُرْسِيَّهُ، وَمَمْلَكَتُهُ عَلَى ٱلْكُلِّ تَسُودُ.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: and his kingdom shall rule over all.

٢٠ 20 بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا مَلَائِكَتَهُ ٱلْمُقْتَدِرِينَ قُوَّةً، ٱلْفَاعِلِينَ أَمْرَهُ عِنْدَ سَمَاعِ صَوْتِ كَلَامِهِ.

Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.

٢١ 21 بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ جُنُودِهِ، خُدَّامَهُ ٱلْعَامِلِينَ مَرْضَاتَهُ.

Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: you ministers of his that do his will.

٢٢ 22 بَارِكُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِهِ، فِي كُلِّ مَوَاضِعِ سُلْطَانِهِ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِيَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Bless the Lord, all his works: in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
