اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 116

١ 1 أَحْبَبْتُ لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَسْمَعُ صَوْتِي، تَضَرُّعَاتِي.

I love the Lord, for he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ أَمَالَ أُذْنَهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَدْعُوهُ مُدَّةَ حَيَاتِي.

For he has inclined his ear to me: I will call upon him as long as I live.

٣ 3 ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. أَصَابَتْنِي شَدَائِدُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. كَابَدْتُ ضِيقًا وَحُزْنًا. (Sheol h7585)

About me were snares of death, the anguish of Sheol was upon me: distress and sorrow were mine. (Sheol h7585)

٤ 4 وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَعَوْتُ: «آهِ يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي!».

Then I called on the name of the Lord: ‘I beseech you, O Lord, deliver me.’

٥ 5 ٱلرَّبُّ حَنَّانٌ وَصِدِّيقٌ، وَإِلَهُنَا رَحِيمٌ.

Gracious and just is the Lord, compassionate is our God.

٦ 6 ٱلرَّبُّ حَافِظُ ٱلْبُسَطَاءِ. تَذَلَّلْتُ فَخَلَّصَنِي.

The Lord preserves the simple; when I was drooping, he saved me.

٧ 7 ٱرْجِعِي يَا نَفْسِي إِلَى رَاحَتِكِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْكِ.

Be at peace, my heart, once more, for the Lord has been good to you.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَعَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعَةِ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ.

You have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

٩ 9 أَسْلُكُ قُدَّامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ.

Before the Lord I will walk in the land of the living.

١٠ 10 آمَنْتُ لِذَلِكَ تَكَلَّمْتُ: «أَنَا تَذَلَّلْتُ جِدًّا».

I held fast my faith, though I said, ‘Ah me! I am sore afflicted,’

١١ 11 أَنَا قُلْتُ فِي حَيْرَتِي: «كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ كَاذِبٌ».

though in my alarm I said, ‘Everyone is a liar.’

١٢ 12 مَاذَا أَرُدُّ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ كُلِّ حَسَنَاتِهِ لِي؟

What shall I render the Lord for all his bounty to me?

١٣ 13 كَأْسَ ٱلْخَلَاصِ أَتَنَاوَلُ، وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْعُو.

I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.

١٤ 14 أُوفِي نُذُورِي لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ كُلِّ شَعْبِهِ.

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

١٥ 15 عَزِيزٌ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَوْتُ أَتْقِيَائِهِ.

Grave in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his loyal and loved ones.

١٦ 16 آهِ يَارَبُّ، لِأَنِّي عَبْدُكَ! أَنَا عَبْدُكَ ٱبْنُ أَمَتِكَ. حَلَلْتَ قُيُودِي.

Ah, Lord! I am your servant, your servant, child of your handmaid. You have loosened my bonds.

١٧ 17 فَلَكَ أَذْبَحُ ذَبِيحَةَ حَمْدٍ، وَبِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَدْعُو.

I will offer to you a thank-offering, and call on the name of the Lord.

١٨ 18 أُوفِي نُذُورِي لِلرَّبِّ مُقَابِلَ شَعْبِهِ،

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,

١٩ 19 فِي دِيَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فِي وَسَطِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ. هَلِّلُويَا.

in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
