اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 109

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَا إِلَهَ تَسْبِيحِي لَا تَسْكُتْ،

Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَتَحَ عَلَيَّ فَمُ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ وَفَمُ ٱلْغِشِّ. تَكَلَّمُوا مَعِي بِلِسَانِ كِذْبٍ،

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

٣ 3 بِكَلَامِ بُغْضٍ أَحَاطُوا بِي، وَقَاتَلُونِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ.

They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

٤ 4 بَدَلَ مَحَبَّتِي يُخَاصِمُونَنِي. أَمَّا أَنَا فَصَلَاةٌ.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

٥ 5 وَضَعُوا عَلَيَّ شَرًّا بَدَلَ خَيْرٍ، وَبُغْضًا بَدَلَ حُبِّي.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

٦ 6 فَأَقِمْ أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ شِرِّيرًا، وَلْيَقِفْ شَيْطَانٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ.

Set you a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

٧ 7 إِذَا حُوكِمَ فَلْيَخْرُجْ مُذْنِبًا، وَصَلَاتُهُ فَلْتَكُنْ خَطِيَّةً.

When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

٨ 8 لِتَكُنْ أَيَّامُهُ قَلِيلَةً، وَوَظِيفَتُهُ لِيَأْخُذْهَا آخَرُ.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

٩ 9 لِيَكُنْ بَنُوهُ أَيْتَامًا وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ أَرْمَلَةً.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

١٠ 10 لِيَتِهْ بَنُوهُ تَيَهَانًا وَيَسْتَعْطُوا، وَيَلْتَمِسُوا خُبْزًا مِنْ خِرَبِهِمْ.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

١١ 11 لِيَصْطَدِ ٱلْمُرَابِي كُلَّ مَا لَهُ، وَلْيَنْهَبِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ تَعَبَهُ.

Let the extortionist catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

١٢ 12 لَا يَكُنْ لَهُ بَاسِطٌ رَحْمَةً، وَلَا يَكُنْ مُتَرَأِفٌ عَلَى يَتَامَاهُ.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

١٣ 13 لِتَنْقَرِضْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ. فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلْقَادِمِ لِيُمْحَ ٱسْمُهُمْ.

Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

١٤ 14 لِيُذْكَرْ إِثْمُ آبَائِهِ لَدَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا تُمْحَ خَطِيَّةُ أُمِّهِ.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

١٥ 15 لِتَكُنْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ دَائِمًا، وَلْيَقْرِضْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

١٦ 16 مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ رَحْمَةً، بَلْ طَرَدَ إِنْسَانًا مِسْكِينًا وَفَقِيرًا وَٱلْمُنْسَحِقَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لِيُمِيتَهُ.

Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

١٧ 17 وَأَحَبَّ ٱللَّعْنَةَ فَأَتَتْهُ، وَلَمْ يُسَرَّ بِٱلْبَرَكَةِ فَتَبَاعَدَتْ عَنْهُ.

As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

١٨ 18 وَلَبِسَ ٱللَّعْنَةَ مِثْلَ ثَوْبِهِ، فَدَخَلَتْ كَمِيَاهٍ فِي حَشَاهُ وَكَزَيْتٍ فِي عِظَامِهِ.

As he clothed himself with cursing like with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

١٩ 19 لِتَكُنْ لَهُ كَثَوْبٍ يَتَعَطَّفُ بِهِ، وَكَمِنْطَقَةٍ يَتَنَطَّقُ بِهَا دَائِمًا.

Let it be unto him as the garment which covers him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

٢٠ 20 هَذِهِ أُجْرَةُ مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأُجْرَةُ ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ شَرًّا عَلَى نَفْسِي.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فَٱصْنَعْ مَعِي مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ. لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ طَيِّبَةٌ نَجِّنِي.

But do you for me, O GOD the Lord, for your name's sake: because your mercy is good, deliver you me.

٢٢ 22 فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَمِسْكِينٌ أَنَا، وَقَلْبِي مَجْرُوحٌ فِي دَاخِلِي.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

٢٣ 23 كَظِلٍّ عِنْدَ مَيْلِهِ ذَهَبْتُ. ٱنْتَفَضْتُ كَجَرَادَةٍ.

I am gone like the shadow when it declines: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

٢٤ 24 رُكْبَتَايَ ٱرْتَعَشَتَا مِنَ ٱلصَّوْمِ، وَلَحْمِي هُزِلَ عَنْ سِمَنٍ.

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh fails of fatness.

٢٥ 25 وَأَنَا صِرْتُ عَارًا عِنْدَهُمْ. يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيَّ وَيُنْغِضُونَ رُؤُوسَهُمْ

I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shook their heads.

٢٦ 26 أَعِنِّي يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي. خَلِّصْنِي حَسَبَ رَحْمَتِكَ.

Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to your mercy:

٢٧ 27 وَلْيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ هَذِهِ هِيَ يَدُكَ. أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا.

That they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.

٢٨ 28 أَمَّا هُمْ فَيَلْعَنُونَ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُبَارِكُ. قَامُوا وَخَزُوا، أَمَّا عَبْدُكَ فَيَفْرَحُ.

Let them curse, but bless you: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let your servant rejoice.

٢٩ 29 لِيَلْبِسْ خُصَمَائِي خَجَلًا، وَلْيَتَعَطَّفُوا بِخِزْيِهِمْ كَٱلرِّدَاءِ.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

٣٠ 30 أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ جِدًّا بِفَمِي، وَفِي وَسَطِ كَثِيرِينَ أُسَبِّحُهُ.

I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

٣١ 31 لِأَنَّهُ يَقُومُ عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱلْمَسْكِينِ، لِيُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَاضِينَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
