اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 19

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اَلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْفَلَكُ يُخْبِرُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ.

“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” The heavens relate the glory of God; and the expanse telleth of the works of his hands.

٢ 2 يَوْمٌ إِلَى يَوْمٍ يُذِيعُ كَلَامًا، وَلَيْلٌ إِلَى لَيْلٍ يُبْدِي عِلْمًا.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.

٣ 3 لَا قَوْلَ وَلَا كَلَامَ. لَا يُسْمَعُ صَوْتُهُمْ.

There is no speech, there are no words, their voice is not heard.

٤ 4 فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ خَرَجَ مَنْطِقُهُمْ، وَإِلَى أَقْصَى ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ كَلِمَاتُهُمْ. جَعَلَ لِلشَّمْسِ مَسْكَنًا فِيهَا،

[But] their melody extendeth through all the earth, and to the end of the world their words. For the sun hath he set a tabernacle among them;

٥ 5 وَهِيَ مِثْلُ ٱلْعَرُوسِ ٱلْخَارِجِ مِنْ حَجَلَتِهِ. يَبْتَهِجُ مِثْلَ ٱلْجَبَّارِ لِلسِّبَاقِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ.

And he goeth out as a bridegroom from his chamber, he is glad like a strong man to run his course;

٦ 6 مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ خُرُوجُهَا، وَمَدَارُهَا إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا، وَلَا شَيْءَ يَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَرِّهَا.

From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his circuit is unto their ends: and there is nothing hidden from his heat.

٧ 7 نَامُوسُ ٱلرَّبِّ كَامِلٌ يَرُدُّ ٱلنَّفْسَ. شَهَادَاتُ ٱلرَّبِّ صَادِقَةٌ تُصَيِّرُ ٱلْجَاهِلَ حَكِيمًا.

The law of the Lord is perfect, quieting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

٨ 8 وَصَايَا ٱلرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ تُفَرِّحُ ٱلْقَلْبَ. أَمْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَاهِرٌ يُنِيرُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ.

The precepts of the Lord are upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eyes.

٩ 9 خَوْفُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ ثَابِتٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. أَحْكَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَقٌّ عَادِلَةٌ كُلُّهَا.

The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever: the ordinances of the Lord are the truth, they are just altogether.

١٠ 10 أَشْهَى مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْإِبْرِيزِ ٱلْكَثِيرِ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ ٱلْعَسَلِ وَقَطْرِ ٱلشِّهَادِ.

They are those which are to be desired more than gold, and much fine gold; and they are sweeter than honey and the dropping of honeycomb.

١١ 11 أَيْضًا عَبْدُكَ يُحَذَّرُ بِهَا، وَفِي حِفْظِهَا ثَوَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

Moreover thy servant is admonished by them: in keeping them there is great reward.

١٢ 12 اَلسَّهَوَاتُ مَنْ يَشْعُرُ بِهَا؟ مِنَ ٱلْخَطَايَا ٱلْمُسْتَتِرَةِ أَبْرِئْنِي.

Who can guard against errors? from secret [faults] do thou cleanse me.

١٣ 13 أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٱحْفَظْ عَبْدَكَ فَلَا يَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَيَّ. حِينَئِذٍ أَكُونُ كَامِلًا وَأَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ عَظِيمٍ.

Also from presumptuous [sins] withhold thy servant; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from any great transgression.

١٤ 14 لِتَكُنْ أَقْوَالُ فَمِي وَفِكْرُ قَلْبِي مَرْضِيَّةً أَمَامَكَ يَارَبُّ، صَخْرَتِي وَوَلِيِّي.

May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable before thee, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
