< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 16 >
مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِحْفَظْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ. | ١ 1 |
A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لَا شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ». | ٢ 2 |
I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ. | ٣ 3 |
As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لَا أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ. | ٤ 4 |
Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
ٱلرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي. | ٥ 5 |
Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِي فِي ٱلنُّعَمَاءِ، فَٱلْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي. | ٦ 6 |
The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِٱللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ. | ٧ 7 |
I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
جَعَلْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ. | ٨ 8 |
I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَٱبْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا. | ٩ 9 |
That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا. (Sheol ) | ١٠ 10 |
For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol )
تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١١ 11 |
You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
