اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 26

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ اِقْضِ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنِّي بِكَمَالِي سَلَكْتُ، وَعَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ تَوَكَّلْتُ بِلَا تَقَلْقُلٍ.

Of David. O Lord, be my judge, for my behaviour has been upright: I have put my faith in the Lord, I am not in danger of slipping.

٢ 2 جَرِّبْنِي يَارَبُّ وَٱمْتَحِنِّي. صَفِّ كُلْيَتَيَّ وَقَلْبِي.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَمَامَ عَيْنِي. وَقَدْ سَلَكْتُ بِحَقِّكَ.

For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

٤ 4 لَمْ أَجْلِسْ مَعَ أُنَاسِ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْمَاكِرِينَ لَا أَدْخُلُ.

I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

٥ 5 أَبْغَضْتُ جَمَاعَةَ ٱلْأَثَمَةِ، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ لَا أَجْلِسُ.

I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

٦ 6 أَغْسِلُ يَدَيَّ فِي ٱلنَّقَاوَةِ، فَأَطُوفُ بِمَذْبَحِكَ يَارَبُّ،

I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

٧ 7 لِأُسَمِّعَ بِصَوْتِ ٱلْحَمْدِ، وَأُحَدِّثَ بِجَمِيعِ عَجَائِبِكَ.

That I may give out the voice of praise, and make public all the wonders which you have done.

٨ 8 يَارَبُّ، أَحْبَبْتُ مَحَلَّ بَيْتِكَ وَمَوْضِعَ مَسْكَنِ مَجْدِكَ.

Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

٩ 9 لَا تَجْمَعْ مَعَ ٱلْخُطَاةِ نَفْسِي، وَلَا مَعَ رِجَالِ ٱلدِّمَاءِ حَيَاتِي.

Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;

١٠ 10 ٱلَّذِينَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ رَذِيلَةٌ، وَيَمِينُهُمْ مَلآنَةٌ رِشْوَةً.

In whose hands are evil designs, and whose right hands take money for judging falsely.

١١ 11 أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكَمَالِي أَسْلُكُ. ٱفْدِنِي وَٱرْحَمْنِي.

But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

١٢ 12 رِجْلِي وَاقِفَةٌ عَلَى سَهْلٍ. فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَاتِ أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ.

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.
