اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 109
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَا إِلَهَ تَسْبِيحِي لَا تَسْكُتْ، | ١ 1 |
For the music director. A psalm of David. God, the one I praise, please don't remain silent,
| لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ عَلَيَّ فَمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ وَفَمُ ٱلْغِشِّ. تَكَلَّمُوا مَعِي بِلِسَانِ كِذْبٍ، | ٢ 2 |
because wicked and deceitful people are attacking me, telling lies about me.
| بِكَلَامِ بُغْضٍ أَحَاطُوا بِي، وَقَاتَلُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ٣ 3 |
They surround me with words of hate, fighting against me for no reason.
| بَدَلَ مَحَبَّتِي يُخَاصِمُونَنِي. أَمَّا أَنَا فَصَلَاةٌ. | ٤ 4 |
I love them, but they respond with hostility towards me, even while I'm praying for them!
| وَضَعُوا عَلَيَّ شَرًّا بَدَلَ خَيْرٍ، وَبُغْضًا بَدَلَ حُبِّي. | ٥ 5 |
They pay me back with evil instead of good, with hatred instead of love.
| فَأَقِمْ أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ شِرِّيرًا، وَلْيَقِفْ شَيْطَانٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
“Appoint someone wicked over him. Have someone stand as an accuser against him.
| إِذَا حُوكِمَ فَلْيَخْرُجْ مُذْنِبًا، وَصَلَاتُهُ فَلْتَكُنْ خَطِيَّةً. | ٧ 7 |
When he is judged and sentenced, may he be found guilty. Let his prayers be counted as sins.
| لِتَكُنْ أَيَّامُهُ قَلِيلَةً، وَوَظِيفَتُهُ لِيَأْخُذْهَا آخَرُ. | ٨ 8 |
May his life be short; let someone else take over his position.
| لِيَكُنْ بَنُوهُ أَيْتَامًا وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ أَرْمَلَةً. | ٩ 9 |
May his children be left fatherless, and his wife become a widow.
| لِيَتِهْ بَنُوهُ تَيَهَانًا وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَيَلْتَمِسُوا خُبْزًا مِنْ خِرَبِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
May his children be homeless, wandering beggars, driven from their ruined houses.
| لِيَصْطَدِ ٱلْمُرَابِي كُلَّ مَا لَهُ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ تَعَبَهُ. | ١١ 11 |
May creditors seize all that he owns; may strangers take all that he worked for.
| لَا يَكُنْ لَهُ بَاسِطٌ رَحْمَةً، وَلَا يَكُنْ مُتَرَأِفٌ عَلَى يَتَامَاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
May no one be kind to him; may no one take pity on his fatherless children.
| لِتَنْقَرِضْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ. فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْقَادِمِ لِيُمْحَ ٱسْمُهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
May his descendants die; may his family name be wiped out in the next generation.
| لِيُذْكَرْ إِثْمُ آبَائِهِ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تُمْحَ خَطِيَّةُ أُمِّهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
May the Lord be reminded of the sins of his fathers; may his mother's sins not be blotted out.
| لِتَكُنْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا، وَلْيَقْرِضْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
May their sins be constantly before the Lord; may his name be totally forgotten by people.
| مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ رَحْمَةً، بَلْ طَرَدَ إِنْسَانًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لِيُمِيتَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
For he didn't think to be kind to others, instead he harassed and killed the poor, the needy, the brokenhearted.
| وَأَحَبَّ ٱللَّعْنَةَ فَأَتَتْهُ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِٱلْبَرَكَةِ فَتَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
He loved to put a curse on others—let it come back on him. He had no time for blessings—so may he never receive any.
| وَلَبِسَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ مِثْلَ ثَوْبِهِ، فَدَخَلَتْ كَمِيَاهٍ فِي حَشَاهُ وَكَزَيْتٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
He cursed as often as he got dressed. May his curses go into him like the water he drinks, like the olive oil he rubs on his skin that enters his bones.
| لِتَكُنْ لَهُ كَثَوْبٍ يَتَعَطَّفُ بِهِ، وَكَمِنْطَقَةٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهَا دَائِمًا. | ١٩ 19 |
May his curses stick to him like clothing, may they be pulled tight around him like a belt.”
| هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأُجْرَةُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ شَرًّا عَلَى نَفْسِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
May all this be the punishment of the Lord on my enemies, on those who speak evil of me.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فَٱصْنَعْ مَعِي مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ طَيِّبَةٌ نَجِّنِي. | ٢١ 21 |
But treat me well, Lord God, because of your own reputation. Save me because you are faithful and good.
| فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ أَنَا، وَقَلْبِي مَجْرُوحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is breaking.
| كَظِلٍّ عِنْدَ مَيْلِهِ ذَهَبْتُ. ٱنْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ. | ٢٣ 23 |
I am fading away like an evening shadow; I am like a locust that is shaken off.
| رُكْبَتَايَ ٱرْتَعَشَتَا مِنَ ٱلصَّوْمِ، وَلَحْمِي هُزِلَ عَنْ سِمَنٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
I am so weak from lack of food that my legs give way; my body is just skin and bones.
| وَأَنَا صِرْتُ عَارًا عِنْدَهُمْ. يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ وَيُنْغِضُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ | ٢٥ 25 |
People ridicule me—they look at me and shake their heads!
| أَعِنِّي يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي. خَلِّصْنِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Help me, Lord my God; save me because of your trustworthy love.
| وَلْيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ. أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
May they recognize that this is what you are doing—that you are the one who saves me.
| أَمَّا هُمْ فَيَلْعَنُونَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُ. قَامُوا وَخَزُوا، أَمَّا عَبْدُكَ فَيَفْرَحُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
When they curse me, you will bless me. When they attack me, you will defeat them. And I, your servant, will be happy.
| لِيَلْبِسْ خُصَمَائِي خَجَلًا، وَلْيَتَعَطَّفُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَٱلرِّدَاءِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
May those who accuse me be clothed with disgrace; may they cover themselves with a cloak of shame.
| أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ جِدًّا بِفَمِي، وَفِي وَسَطِ كَثِيرِينَ أُسَبِّحُهُ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But I will keep on thanking the Lord, praising him to everyone around me.
| لِأَنَّهُ يَقُومُ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَسْكِينِ، لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَاضِينَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ. | ٣١ 31 |
For he takes a stand to defend the needy, to save them from those who condemn them.
