اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 16

١ 1 مُذَهَّبَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِحْفَظْنِي يَا ٱللهُ لِأَنِّي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

A michtam of David. Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

٢ 2 قُلْتُ لِلرَّبِّ: «أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي. خَيْرِي لَا شَيْءَ غَيْرُكَ».

I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone.

٣ 3 ٱلْقِدِّيسُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْأَفَاضِلُ كُلُّ مَسَرَّتِي بِهِمْ.

Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.’

٤ 4 تَكْثُرُ أَوْجَاعُهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَعُوا وَرَاءَ آخَرَ. لَا أَسْكُبُ سَكَائِبَهُمْ مِنْ دَمٍ، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ بِشَفَتَيَّ.

Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name on my lips.

٥ 5 ٱلرَّبُّ نَصِيبُ قِسْمَتِي وَكَأْسِي. أَنْتَ قَابِضُ قُرْعَتِي.

The Lord is my share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.

٦ 6 حِبَالٌ وَقَعَتْ لِي فِي ٱلنُّعَمَاءِ، فَٱلْمِيرَاثُ حَسَنٌ عِنْدِي.

The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.

٧ 7 أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلَّذِي نَصَحَنِي، وَأَيْضًا بِٱللَّيْلِ تُنْذِرُنِي كُلْيَتَايَ.

I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.

٨ 8 جَعَلْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ أَمَامِي فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَلَا أَتَزَعْزَعُ.

I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ فَرِحَ قَلْبِي، وَٱبْتَهَجَتْ رُوحِي. جَسَدِي أَيْضًا يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنًّا.

So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّكَ لَنْ تَتْرُكَ نَفْسِي فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. لَنْ تَدَعَ تَقِيَّكَ يَرَى فَسَادًا. (Sheol h7585)

For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (Sheol h7585)

١١ 11 تُعَرِّفُنِي سَبِيلَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. أَمَامَكَ شِبَعُ سُرُورٍ. فِي يَمِينِكَ نِعَمٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

You will show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
