اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 28

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ أَصْرُخُ. يَا صَخْرَتِي، لَا تَتَصَامَمْ مِنْ جِهَتِي، لِئَلَّا تَسْكُتَ عَنِّي فَأُشْبِهَ ٱلْهَابِطِينَ فِي ٱلْجُبِّ.

Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.

٢ 2 ٱسْتَمِعْ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي إِذْ أَسْتَغِيثُ بِكَ وَأَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ إِلَى مِحْرَابِ قُدْسِكَ.

Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.

٣ 3 لَا تَجْذِبْنِي مَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَمَعَ فَعَلَةِ ٱلْإِثْمِ ٱلْمُخَاطِبِينَ أَصْحَابَهُمْ بِٱلسَّلَامِ وَٱلشَّرُّ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ.

Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbours is friendly, while evil is in their heart.

٤ 4 أَعْطِهِمْ حَسَبَ فِعْلِهِمْ وَحَسَبَ شَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. حَسَبَ صُنْعِ أَيْدِيهِمْ أَعْطِهِمْ. رُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مُعَامَلَتَهُمْ.

Give them as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَنْتَبِهُوا إِلَى أَفْعَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَا إِلَى أَعْمَالِ يَدَيْهِ، يَهْدِمُهُمْ وَلَا يَبْنِيهِمْ.

They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي.

Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.

٧ 7 ٱلرَّبُّ عِزِّي وَتُرْسِي. عَلَيْهِ ٱتَّكَلَ قَلْبِي، فَٱنْتَصَرْتُ. وَيَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبِي وَبِأُغْنِيَتِي أَحْمَدُهُ.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.

٨ 8 ٱلرَّبُّ عِزٌّ لَهُمْ، وَحِصْنُ خَلَاصِ مَسِيحِهِ هُوَ.

The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.

٩ 9 خَلِّصْ شَعْبَكَ، وَبَارِكْ مِيرَاثَكَ، وَٱرْعَهُمْ وَٱحْمِلْهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
