اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 139

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

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.

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

You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.

٣ 3 مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْبَضِي ذَرَّيْتَ، وَكُلَّ طُرُقِي عَرَفْتَ.

You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways.

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

Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

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

You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.

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

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

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

Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?

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

If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. (Sheol h7585)

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

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,

١٠ 10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضًا تَهْدِينِي يَدُكَ وَتُمْسِكُنِي يَمِينُكَ.

even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

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

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—

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

even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

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

For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

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

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.

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

My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

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

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

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

How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!

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

If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.

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

O God, that You would slay the wicked— away from me, you bloodthirsty men—

٢٠ 20 ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ نَاطِقِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.

٢١ 21 أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَمْقُتُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ؟

Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You?

٢٢ 22 بُغْضًا تَامًّا أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. صَارُوا لِي أَعْدَاءً.

I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them as my enemies.

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

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.

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

See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.
