اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 27

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ اَلرَّبُّ نُورِي وَخَلَاصِي، مِمَّنْ أَخَافُ؟ ٱلرَّبُّ حِصْنُ حَيَاتِي، مِمَّنْ أَرْتَعِبُ؟

The psalm of David before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?

٢ 2 عِنْدَ مَا ٱقْتَرَبَ إِلَيَّ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ لِيَأْكُلُوا لَحْمِي، مُضَايِقِيَّ وَأَعْدَائِي عَثَرُوا وَسَقَطُوا.

Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.

٣ 3 إِنْ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ جَيْشٌ لَا يَخَافُ قَلْبِي. إِنْ قَامَتْ عَلَيَّ حَرْبٌ فَفِي ذَلِكَ أَنَا مُطْمَئِنٌّ.

If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident.

٤ 4 وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَإِيَّاهَا أَلْتَمِسُ: أَنْ أَسْكُنَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي، لِكَيْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى جَمَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَأَتَفَرَّسَ فِي هَيْكَلِهِ.

One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُ يُخَبِّئُنِي فِي مَظَلَّتِهِ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلشَّرِّ. يَسْتُرُنِي بِسِتْرِ خَيْمَتِهِ. عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ يَرْفَعُنِي.

For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.

٦ 6 وَٱلْآنَ يَرْتَفِعُ رَأْسِي عَلَى أَعْدَائِي حَوْلِي، فَأَذْبَحُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْهُتَافِ. أُغَنِّي وَأُرَنِّمُ لِلرَّبِّ.

He hath exalted me upon a rock: and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies. I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.

٧ 7 اِسْتَمِعْ يَارَبُّ. بِصَوْتِي أَدْعُو فَٱرْحَمْنِي وَٱسْتَجِبْ لِي.

Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me.

٨ 8 لَكَ قَالَ قَلْبِي: «قُلْتَ: ٱطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي». وَجْهَكَ يَارَبُّ أَطْلُبُ.

My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.

٩ 9 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي. لَا تُخَيِّبْ بِسُخْطٍ عَبْدَكَ. قَدْ كُنْتَ عَوْنِي فَلَا تَرْفُضْنِي وَلَا تَتْرُكْنِي يَا إِلَهَ خَلَاصِي.

Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.

١٠ 10 إِنَّ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَدْ تَرَكَانِي وَٱلرَّبُّ يَضُمُّنِي.

For my father and my mother have left me: but the Lord hath taken me up.

١١ 11 عَلِّمْنِي يَارَبُّ طَرِيقَكَ، وَٱهْدِنِي فِي سَبِيلٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي.

Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.

١٢ 12 لَا تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَرَامِ مُضَايِقِيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ عَلَيَّ شُهُودُ زُورٍ وَنَافِثُ ظُلْمٍ.

Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.

١٣ 13 لَوْلَا أَنَّنِي آمَنْتُ بِأَنْ أَرَى جُودَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ.

I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.

١٤ 14 ٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ. لِيَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْيَتَشَجَّعْ قَلْبُكَ، وَٱنْتَظِرِ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
