اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 104

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي، قَدْ عَظُمْتَ جِدًّا. مَجْدًا وَجَلَالًا لَبِسْتَ.

BLESS the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

٢ 2 ٱللَّابِسُ ٱلنُّورَ كَثَوْبٍ، ٱلْبَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ كَشُقَّةٍ.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

٣ 3 ٱلْمُسَقِّفُ عَلَالِيَهُ بِٱلْمِيَاهِ. ٱلْجَاعِلُ ٱلسَّحَابَ مَرْكَبَتَهُ، ٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيحِ.

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

٤ 4 ٱلصَّانِعُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ رِيَاحًا، وَخُدَّامَهُ نَارًا مُلْتَهِبَةً.

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

٥ 5 ٱلْمُؤَسِّسُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِهَا فَلَا تَتَزَعْزَعُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

٦ 6 كَسَوْتَهَا ٱلْغَمْرَ كَثَوْبٍ. فَوْقَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَقِفُ ٱلْمِيَاهُ.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

٧ 7 مِنِ ٱنْتِهَارِكَ تَهْرُبُ، مِنْ صَوْتِ رَعْدِكَ تَفِرُّ.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

٨ 8 تَصْعَدُ إِلَى ٱلْجِبَالِ. تَنْزِلُ إِلَى ٱلْبِقَاعِ، إِلَى ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي أَسَّسْتَهُ لَهَا.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

٩ 9 وَضَعْتَ لَهَا تَخْمًا لَا تَتَعَدَّاهُ. لَا تَرْجِعُ لِتُغَطِّيَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

١٠ 10 اَلْمُفَجِّرُ عُيُونًا فِي ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ. بَيْنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ تَجْرِي.

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

١١ 11 تَسْقِي كُلَّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْبَرِّ. تَكْسِرُ ٱلْفِرَاءُ ظَمْأَهَا.

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

١٢ 12 فَوْقَهَا طُيُورُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ تَسْكُنُ. مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلْأَغْصَانِ تُسَمِّعُ صَوْتًا.

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

١٣ 13 ٱلسَّاقِي ٱلْجِبَالَ مِنْ عَلَالِيهِ. مِنْ ثَمَرِ أَعْمَالِكَ تَشْبَعُ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

١٤ 14 ٱلْمُنْبِتُ عُشْبًا لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِخْرَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

١٥ 15 وَخَمْرٍ تُفَرِّحُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِإِلْمَاعِ وَجْهِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلزَّيْتِ، وَخُبْزٍ يُسْنِدُ قَلْبَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ.

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.

١٦ 16 تَشْبَعُ أَشْجَارُ ٱلرَّبِّ، أَرْزُ لُبْنَانَ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ.

The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

١٧ 17 حَيْثُ تُعَشِّشُ هُنَاكَ ٱلْعَصَافِيرُ. أَمَّا ٱللَّقْلَقُ فَٱلسَّرْوُ بَيْتُهُ.

Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

١٨ 18 ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلْعَالِيَةُ لِلْوُعُولِ، ٱلصُّخُورُ مَلْجَأٌ لِلْوِبَارِ.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

١٩ 19 صَنَعَ ٱلْقَمَرَ لِلْمَوَاقِيتِ. ٱلشَّمْسُ تَعْرِفُ مَغْرِبَهَا.

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

٢٠ 20 تَجْعَلُ ظُلْمَةً فَيَصِيرُ لَيْلٌ. فِيهِ يَدِبُّ كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْوَعْرِ.

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

٢١ 21 ٱلْأَشْبَالُ تُزَمْجِرُ لِتَخْطَفَ، وَلِتَلْتَمِسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ طَعَامَهَا.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

٢٢ 22 تُشْرِقُ ٱلشَّمْسُ فَتَجْتَمِعُ، وَفِي مَآوِيهَا تَرْبِضُ.

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

٢٣ 23 ٱلْإِنْسَانُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى عَمَلِهِ، وَإِلَى شُغْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ.

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

٢٤ 24 مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَكَ يَارَبُّ! كُلَّهَا بِحِكْمَةٍ صَنَعْتَ. مَلْآنةٌ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ غِنَاكَ.

O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

٢٥ 25 هَذَا ٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْوَاسِعُ ٱلْأَطْرَافِ. هُنَاكَ دَبَّابَاتٌ بِلَا عَدَدٍ. صِغَارُ حَيَوَانٍ مَعَ كِبَارٍ.

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

٢٦ 26 هُنَاكَ تَجْرِي ٱلسُّفُنُ. لِوِيَاثَانُ هَذَا خَلَقْتَهُ لِيَلْعَبَ فِيهِ.

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

٢٧ 27 كُلُّهَا إِيَّاكَ تَتَرَجَّى لِتَرْزُقَهَا قُوتَهَا فِي حِينِهِ.

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

٢٨ 28 تُعْطِيهَا فَتَلْتَقِطُ. تَفْتَحُ يَدَكَ فَتَشْبَعُ خَيْرًا.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

٢٩ 29 تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ فَتَرْتَاعُ. تَنْزِعُ أَرْوَاحَهَا فَتَمُوتُ، وَإِلَى تُرَابِهَا تَعُودُ.

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

٣٠ 30 تُرْسِلُ رُوحَكَ فَتُخْلَقُ، وَتُجَدِّدُ وَجْهَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

٣١ 31 يَكُونُ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. يَفْرَحُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

٣٢ 32 ٱلنَّاظِرُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَتَرْتَعِدُ. يَمَسُّ ٱلْجِبَالَ فَتُدَخِّنُ.

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

٣٣ 33 أُغَنِّي لِلرَّبِّ فِي حَيَاتِي. أُرَنِّمُ لِإِلَهِي مَا دُمْتُ مَوْجُودًا.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

٣٤ 34 فَيَلَذُّ لَهُ نَشِيدِي، وَأَنَا أَفْرَحُ بِٱلرَّبِّ.

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord.

٣٥ 35 لِتُبَدِ ٱلْخُطَاةُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَشْرَارُ لَا يَكُونُوا بَعْدُ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي ٱلرَّبَّ. هَلِّلُويَا.

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.
