اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 139

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ. مَزْمُورٌ يَارَبُّ، قَدِ ٱخْتَبَرْتَنِي وَعَرَفْتَنِي.

O Jehovah, thou have searched me, and known.

٢ 2 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ جُلُوسِي وَقِيَامِي. فَهِمْتَ فِكْرِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

Thou know my sitting down and my rising up. Thou understand my thought afar off.

٣ 3 مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْبَضِي ذَرَّيْتَ، وَكُلَّ طُرُقِي عَرَفْتَ.

Thou search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَلِمَةٌ فِي لِسَانِي، إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَرَفْتَهَا كُلَّهَا.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Jehovah, thou know it altogether.

٥ 5 مِنْ خَلْفٍ وَمِنْ قُدَّامٍ حَاصَرْتَنِي، وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَيَّ يَدَكَ.

Thou have beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.

٦ 6 عَجِيبَةٌ هَذِهِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةُ، فَوْقِي ٱرْتَفَعَتْ، لَا أَسْتَطِيعُهَا.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is high, I cannot attain to it.

٧ 7 أَيْنَ أَذْهَبُ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ وَمِنْ وَجْهِكَ أَيْنَ أَهْرُبُ؟

Where shall I go from thy Spirit? Or where shall I flee from thy presence?

٨ 8 إِنْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَنْتَ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنْ فَرَشْتُ فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ فَهَا أَنْتَ. (Sheol h7585)

If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou are there. (Sheol h7585)

٩ 9 إِنْ أَخَذْتُ جَنَاحَيِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي أَقَاصِي ٱلْبَحْرِ،

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the outermost parts of the sea,

١٠ 10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضًا تَهْدِينِي يَدُكَ وَتُمْسِكُنِي يَمِينُكَ.

even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

١١ 11 فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّمَا ٱلظُّلْمَةُ تَغْشَانِي». فَٱللَّيْلُ يُضِيءُ حَوْلِي!

If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, and the light around me shall be night,

١٢ 12 ٱلظُّلْمَةُ أَيْضًا لَا تُظْلِمُ لَدَيْكَ، وَٱللَّيْلُ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يُضِيءُ. كَٱلظُّلْمَةِ هَكَذَا ٱلنُّورُ.

even the darkness hides not from thee, but the night shines as the day. The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ ٱقْتَنَيْتَ كُلْيَتَيَّ. نَسَجْتَنِي فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّي.

For thou formed my inward parts. Thou covered me in my mother's womb.

١٤ 14 أَحْمَدُكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي قَدِ ٱمْتَزْتُ عَجَبًا. عَجِيبَةٌ هِيَ أَعْمَالُكَ، وَنَفْسِي تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ يَقِينًا.

I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well.

١٥ 15 لَمْ تَخْتَفِ عَنْكَ عِظَامِي حِينَمَا صُنِعْتُ فِي ٱلْخَفَاءِ، وَرُقِمْتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

١٦ 16 رَأَتْ عَيْنَاكَ أَعْضَائِي، وَفِي سِفْرِكَ كُلُّهَا كُتِبَتْ يَوْمَ تَصَوَّرَتْ، إِذْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا.

Thine eyes saw my unformed substance, and in thy book they were all written, even the days that were ordained, when as yet there was none of them.

١٧ 17 مَا أَكْرَمَ أَفْكَارَكَ يَا ٱللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَكْثَرَ جُمْلَتَهَا!

How precious also are thy thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

١٨ 18 إِنْ أُحْصِهَا فَهِيَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ ٱلرَّمْلِ. ٱسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَأَنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكَ.

I count them; they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.

١٩ 19 لَيْتَكَ تَقْتُلُ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ يَا ٱللهُ. فَيَا رِجَالَ ٱلدِّمَاءِ، ٱبْعُدُوا عَنِّي.

Surely thou will kill the wicked, O God. Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.

٢٠ 20 ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ نَاطِقِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take it in vain.

٢١ 21 أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَمْقُتُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ؟

Do I not hate them, O Jehovah, who hate thee? And am I not grieved with those who rise up against thee?

٢٢ 22 بُغْضًا تَامًّا أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. صَارُوا لِي أَعْدَاءً.

I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

٢٣ 23 ٱخْتَبِرْنِي يَا ٱللهُ وَٱعْرِفْ قَلْبِي. ٱمْتَحِنِّي وَٱعْرِفْ أَفْكَارِي.

Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts,

٢٤ 24 وَٱنْظُرْ إِنْ كَانَ فِيَّ طَرِيقٌ بَاطِلٌ، وَٱهْدِنِي طَرِيقًا أَبَدِيًّا.

and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.
