اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 11

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ تَوَكَّلْتُ. كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لِنَفْسِي: «ٱهْرُبُوا إِلَى جِبَالِكُمْ كَعُصْفُورٍ؟

For the leader. Of David. In the Lord I take refuge. How can you tell me to flee like a bird to the mountains?

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ يَمُدُّونَ ٱلْقَوْسَ. فَوَّقُوا ٱلسَّهْمَ فِي ٱلْوَتَرِ لِيَرْمُوا فِي ٱلدُّجَى مُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ.

‘See! The wicked are bending the bow, their arrow is set on the string, to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

٣ 3 إِذَا ٱنْقَلَبَتِ ٱلْأَعْمِدَةُ، فَٱلصِّدِّيقُ مَاذَا يَفْعَلُ؟»

In this tearing down of foundations what good can a good person do?’

٤ 4 اَلرَّبُّ فِي هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ كُرْسِيُّهُ. عَيْنَاهُ تَنْظُرَانِ. أَجْفَانُهُ تَمْتَحِنُ بَنِي آدَمَ.

The Lord in his holy temple, the Lord in heaven, enthroned. His eyes watch the world, they see everyone.

٥ 5 ٱلرَّبُّ يَمْتَحِنُ ٱلْصِّدِّيقَ، أَمَّا ٱلشِّرِّيرُ وَمُحِبُّ ٱلظُّلْمِ فَتُبْغِضُهُ نَفْسُهُ.

The Lord examines the righteous and wicked, and the lover of violence he hates.

٦ 6 يُمْطِرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فِخَاخًا، نَارًا وَكِبْرِيتًا، وَرِيحَ ٱلسَّمُومِ نَصِيبَ كَأْسِهِمْ.

On the wicked he rains coals of fire and brimstone, and their drink will be scorching wind.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ عَادِلٌ وَيُحِبُّ ٱلْعَدْلَ. ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ يُبْصِرُ وَجْهَهُ.

For the Lord is just, and justice he loves; so the upright will see his face.
