اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 31

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

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.

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

Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue me.

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

For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.

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

Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.

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

Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.

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

I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.

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

I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,

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

And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.

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

Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.

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

For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.

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

I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.

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

I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.

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

For I haue heard the rayling of great men: feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.

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

But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.

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

My times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

١٦ 16 أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ. خَلِّصْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

Make thy face to shine vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.

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

Let me not be confounded, O Lord: for I haue called vpon thee: let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue. (Sheol h7585)

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

Let the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.

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

Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men!

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

Thou doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife of tongues.

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

Blessed be the Lord: for hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.

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

Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto thee.

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

Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.

٢٤ 24 لِتَتَشَدَّدْ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ، يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْمُنْتَظِرِينَ ٱلرَّبَّ.

All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
