اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 139

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and knowest.

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

Thou — Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

٣ 3 مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْبَضِي ذَرَّيْتَ، وَكُلَّ طُرُقِي عَرَفْتَ.

My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my ways hast been acquainted.

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

For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

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

Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost place on me Thy hand.

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

Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.

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

Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face do I flee?

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

If I ascend the heavens — there Thou [art], And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! (Sheol h7585)

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

I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,

١٠ 10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضًا تَهْدِينِي يَدُكَ وَتُمْسِكُنِي يَمِينُكَ.

Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.

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

And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is] light to me.

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

Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light.

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

For Thou — Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover me in my mother's belly.

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

I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is knowing [it] well.

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

My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth.

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

Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed — And not one among them.

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

And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how great hath been their sum!

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

I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have waked, and I am still with Thee.

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

Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!

٢٠ 20 ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَلِّمُونَكَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ نَاطِقِينَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity [are] Thine enemies.

٢١ 21 أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ يَارَبُّ، وَأَمْقُتُ مُقَاوِمِيكَ؟

Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy withstanders grieve myself?

٢٢ 22 بُغْضًا تَامًّا أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. صَارُوا لِي أَعْدَاءً.

[With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they have become to me.

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 a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way age-during!
