اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 103

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

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, —And all that is within me, his holy Name;

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

Bless, O my soul, Yahweh, And forget not all his dealings: —

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

Who forgiveth all thine iniquity, Who healeth all thy diseases;

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

Who redeemeth, from destruction, thy life, Who crowneth thee, with lovingkindness and compassion:

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

Who satisfieth, with good, thine age, Thy youth, reneweth itself like an eagle.

٦ 6 اَلرَّبُّ مُجْرِي ٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْقَضَاءِ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمَظْلُومِينَ.

Yahweh is one, who executeth righteousness, Yea vindication for all the oppressed.

٧ 7 عَرَّفَ مُوسَى طُرُقَهُ، وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَفْعَالَهُ.

Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.

٨ 8 ٱلرَّبُّ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، طَوِيلُ ٱلرُّوحِ وَكَثِيرُ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ.

Compassionate and gracious, is Yahweh, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness.

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

Not perpetually, will he contend, Nor age-abidingly, retain anger;

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

Not according to our sins, hath he dealt with us, Nor according to our iniquities, hath he treated us.

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

For, as the heavens are exalted over the earth, His lovingkindness hath prevailed over them who revere him;

١٢ 12 كَبُعْدِ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ مِنَ ٱلْمَغْرِبِ أَبْعَدَ عَنَّا مَعَاصِيَنَا.

As far as East from West, Hath he put far from us, our transgressions;

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

Like the compassion of a father for his children, Is, the compassion of Yahweh, for them who revere him;

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ جِبْلَتَنَا. يَذْكُرُ أَنَّنَا تُرَابٌ نَحْنُ.

For, he, knoweth how we are formed, He is mindful that, dust, we are.

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

As for man, like grass, are his days, Like the blossom of the field, so, doth he blossom;

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

For, a wind, hath passed over it, and it is gone, And its own place is acquainted with it no more.

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

But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to children’s children: —

١٨ 18 لِحَافِظِي عَهْدِهِ وَذَاكِرِي وَصَايَاهُ لِيَعْمَلُوهَا.

To such as keep his covenant, And remember his precepts, to do them.

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

Yahweh, in the heavens, hath established his throne, And, his kingdom, over all, hath dominion.

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

Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his, —Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word;

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

Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;

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

Bless Yahweh, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion, Bless, O my soul, Yahweh.
