اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 18
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَارَبُّ، يَا قُوَّتِي. | ١ 1 |
I will racham ·compassionately love, mercifully love· you, Adonai, my strength.
| ٱلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي وَمَلْجَإِي. | ٢ 2 |
Adonai is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my yesha' ·salvation·, my high tower.
| أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ، فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. | ٣ 3 |
I call on Adonai, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
| اِكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَسُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي. | ٤ 4 |
The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
| حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ حَاقَتْ بِي. أَشْرَاكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱنْتَشَبَتْ بِي. (Sheol h7585) | ٥ 5 |
The cords of Sheol ·Place of the dead· were around me. The snares of death came on me. (Sheol h7585)
| فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي قُدَّامَهُ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
In my distress I called on Adonai, and cried to my God. He sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.
| فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ، أُسُسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ. | ٧ 7 |
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
| صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ. | ٨ 8 |
Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
| طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ٩ 9 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
| رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ وَطَارَ، وَهَفَّ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيَاحِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
| جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ سِتْرَهُ. حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّتَهُ ضَبَابَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ. | ١١ 11 |
He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
| مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ عَبَرَتْ سُحُبُهُ. بَرَدٌ وَجَمْرُ نَارٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
| أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ، بَرَدًا وَجَمْرَ نَارٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
Adonai also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
| أَرْسَلَ سِهَامَهُ فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، وَبُرُوقًا كَثِيرَةً فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ، | ١٤ 14 |
He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
| فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Adonai, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
| أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي. نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
| أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي ٱلْقَوِيِّ، وَمِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي. | ١٧ 17 |
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
| أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي. | ١٨ 18 |
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Adonai was my support.
| أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرُّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. | ١٩ 19 |
He brought me out also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
| يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ لِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
Adonai has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
| لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي. | ٢١ 21 |
For I have kept the ways of Adonai, and have not been condemned as guilty before my God.
| لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضَهُ لَمْ أُبْعِدْهَا عَنْ نَفْسِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
For all his judgments were before me. I didn’t put away his regulations from me.
| وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا مَعَهُ وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my depravity (moral evil).
| فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Therefore Adonai has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
| مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect.
| مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا. | ٢٦ 26 |
With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَٱلْأَعْيُنُ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةُ تَضَعُهَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
For you will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes you will bring down.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُضِيءُ سِرَاجِي. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي يُنِيرُ ظُلْمَتِي. | ٢٨ 28 |
For you will light my lamp, Adonai. My God will light up my darkness.
| لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا، وَبِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا. | ٢٩ 29 |
For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
| ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
As for God, his way is perfect. Adonai’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
| لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟ | ٣١ 31 |
For who is God, except Adonai? Who is a rock, besides our God,
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُمَنْطِقُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا. | ٣٢ 32 |
the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
| ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفِعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي. | ٣٣ 33 |
He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
| ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. | ٣٤ 34 |
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
| وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ وَيَمِينُكَ تَعْضُدُنِي، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي. | ٣٥ 35 |
You have also given me the shield of your yesha' ·salvation·. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
| تُوَسِّعُ خُطُوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
| أَتْبَعُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ. | ٣٧ 37 |
I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.
| أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلْقِيَامَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ. | ٣٨ 38 |
I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
| تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِقُوَّةٍ لِلْقِتَالِ. تَصْرَعُ تَحْتِي ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. | ٣٩ 39 |
For you have armed me with strength to the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
| وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي، وَمُبْغِضِيَّ أُفْنِيهِمْ. | ٤٠ 40 |
You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
| يَصْرُخُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. | ٤١ 41 |
They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Adonai, but he didn’t answer them.
| فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَٱلْغُبَارِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَطْرَحُهُمْ. | ٤٢ 42 |
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
| تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. تَجْعَلُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي. | ٤٣ 43 |
You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
| مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي. بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. | ٤٤ 44 |
As soon as they hear of me they shall sh'ma ·hear obey· me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
| بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ. | ٤٥ 45 |
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
| حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفِعٌ إِلَهُ خَلَاصِي، | ٤٦ 46 |
Adonai lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my yesha' ·salvation·,
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلَّذِي يُخْضِعُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ تَحْتِي. | ٤٧ 47 |
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
| مُنَجِّيَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. رَافِعِي أَيْضًا فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. مِنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلظَّالِمِ تُنْقِذُنِي. | ٤٨ 48 |
He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
| لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ. | ٤٩ 49 |
Therefore I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Adonai, among the nations, and will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name.
| بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٥٠ 50 |
He gives great yishu'ah ·deliverance· to his king, and shows chesed ·loving-kindness· to his anointed, to David [Beloved] and to his offspring, forever more.
