اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 31

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عَلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ تَوَكَّلْتُ. لَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى مَدَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David according to an ecstasy. In you, Lord, I have hoped; let me never be confounded. In your justice, deliver me.

٢ 2 أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ. سَرِيعًا أَنْقِذْنِي. كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ حِصْنٍ، بَيْتَ مَلْجَإٍ لِتَخْلِيصِي.

Incline your ear to me. Hasten to rescue me. Be for me a protector God and a house of refuge, so as to accomplish my salvation.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّ صَخْرَتِي وَمَعْقِلِي أَنْتَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِكَ تَهْدِينِي وَتَقُودُنِي.

For you are my strength and my refuge; and for the sake of your name, you will lead me and nourish me.

٤ 4 أَخْرِجْنِي مِنَ ٱلشَّبَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي خَبَّأُوهَا لِي، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ حِصْنِي.

You will lead me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me. For you are my protector.

٥ 5 فِي يَدِكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي. فَدَيْتَنِي يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ ٱلْحَقِّ.

Into your hands, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth.

٦ 6 أَبْغَضْتُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ أَبَاطِيلَ كَاذِبَةً. أَمَّا أَنَا فَعَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

You have hated those who practice emptiness to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord.

٧ 7 أَبْتَهِجُ وَأَفْرَحُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ نَظَرْتَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، وَعَرَفْتَ فِي ٱلشَّدَائِدِ نَفْسِي،

I will exult and rejoice in your mercy. For you have looked upon my humility; you have saved my soul from needfulness.

٨ 8 وَلَمْ تَحْبِسْنِي فِي يَدِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، بَلْ أَقَمْتَ فِي ٱلرُّحْبِ رِجْلِي.

And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place.

٩ 9 اِرْحَمْنِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنِّي فِي ضِيْقٍ. خَسَفَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ عَيْنِي. نَفْسِي وَبَطْنِي.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am troubled. My eye has been disturbed by wrath, along with my soul and my gut.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ حَيَاتِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ بِٱلْحُزْنِ، وَسِنِينِي بِٱلتَّنَهُّدِ. ضَعُفَتْ بِشَقَاوَتِي قُوَّتِي، وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي.

For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed.

١١ 11 عِنْدَ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِي صِرْتُ عَارًا، وَعِنْدَ جِيرَانِي بِٱلْكُلِّيَّةِ، وَرُعْبًا لِمَعَارِفِي. ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْنِي خَارِجًا هَرَبُوا عَنِّي.

I have become a disgrace among all my enemies, and even more so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who catch sight of me, flee away from me.

١٢ 12 نُسِيتُ مِنَ ٱلْقَلْبِ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَيْتِ. صِرْتُ مِثْلَ إِنَاءٍ مُتْلَفٍ.

I have become forgotten, like one dead to the heart. I have become like a damaged utensil.

١٣ 13 لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ مَذَمَّةً مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ. ٱلْخَوْفُ مُسْتَدِيرٌ بِي بِمُؤَامَرَتِهِمْ مَعًا عَلَيَّ. تَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَخْذِ نَفْسِي.

For I have heard the harsh criticism of many who linger in the area. While assembled together against me in that place, they deliberated on how to take away my life.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ يَارَبُّ. قُلْتُ: «إِلَهِي أَنْتَ».

But I have hoped in you, O Lord. I said, “You are my God.”

١٥ 15 فِي يَدِكَ آجَالِي. نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِي وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْرُدُونَنِي.

My fate is in your hands. Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who are persecuting me.

١٦ 16 أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ. خَلِّصْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

Shine your face upon your servant. Save me in your mercy.

١٧ 17 يَارَبُّ، لَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى لِأَنِّي دَعَوْتُكَ. لِيَخْزَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ. لِيَسْكُتُوا فِي ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585)

Do not let me be confounded, Lord, for I have called upon you. Let the impious be ashamed and be drawn down into Hell. (Sheol h7585)

١٨ 18 لِتُبْكَمْ شِفَاهُ ٱلْكَذِبِ، ٱلْمُتَكَلِّمَةُ عَلَى ٱلصِّدِّيقِ بِوَقَاحَةٍ، بِكِبْرِيَاءَ وَٱسْتِهَانَةٍ.

May deceitful lips be silenced: those that speak iniquity against the just, in arrogance and in abusiveness.

١٩ 19 مَا أَعْظَمَ جُودَكَ ٱلَّذِي ذَخَرْتَهُ لِخَائِفِيكَ، وَفَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ تُجَاهَ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ!

How great is the multitude of your sweetness, O Lord, which you keep hidden for those who fear you, which you have perfected for those who hope in you, in the sight of the sons of men.

٢٠ 20 تَسْتُرُهُمْ بِسِتْرِ وَجْهِكَ مِنْ مَكَايِدِ ٱلنَّاسِ. تُخْفِيهِمْ فِي مَظَلَّةٍ مِنْ مُخَاصَمَةِ ٱلْأَلْسُنِ

You hide them in the concealment of your face, from the disturbance of men. You protect them in your tabernacle, from the contradiction of tongues.

٢١ 21 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ جَعَلَ عَجَبًا رَحْمَتَهُ لِي فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ.

Blessed is the Lord. For he has shown his wonderful mercy to me, in a fortified city.

٢٢ 22 وَأَنَا قُلْتُ فِي حَيْرَتِي: «إِنِّي قَدِ ٱنْقَطَعْتُ مِنْ قُدَّامِ عَيْنَيْكَ». وَلَكِنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي إِذْ صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ.

But I said in the excess of my mind: “I have been cast away from the glance of your eyes.” And so, you heeded the voice of my prayer, while I was still crying out to you.

٢٣ 23 أَحِبُّوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ. ٱلرَّبُّ حَافِظُ ٱلْأَمَانَةِ، وَمُجَازٍ بِكِثْرَةٍ ٱلْعَامِلَ بِٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ.

Love the Lord, all you his saints. For the Lord will require truth, and he will abundantly repay those who act with arrogance.

٢٤ 24 لِتَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَظِرِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

Act manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all you who hope in the Lord.
