اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 34

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا غَيَّرَ عَقْلَهُ قُدَّامَ أَبِيمَالِكَ فَطَرَدَهُ فَٱنْطَلَقَ أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. دَائِمًا تَسْبِيحُهُ فِي فَمِي.

“By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.

٢ 2 بِٱلرَّبِّ تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي. يَسْمَعُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ.

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.

٣ 3 عَظِّمُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَلِّ ٱسْمَهُ مَعًا.

Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

٤ 4 طَلَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي، وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي أَنْقَذَنِي.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.

٥ 5 نَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَٱسْتَنَارُوا، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ لَمْ تَخْجَلْ.

They [who] looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.

٦ 6 هَذَا ٱلْمِسْكِينُ صَرَخَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ ٱسْتَمَعَهُ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقَاتِهِ خَلَّصَهُ.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.

٧ 7 مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَالٌّ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.

٨ 8 ذُوقُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا مَا أَطْيَبَ ٱلرَّبَّ! طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَلَيْهِ.

Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.

٩ 9 ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا قِدِّيسِيهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَوَزٌ لِمُتَّقِيهِ.

Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.

١٠ 10 ٱلْأَشْبَالُ ٱحْتَاجَتْ وَجَاعَتْ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.

١١ 11 هَلُمَّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَنُونَ ٱسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَخَافَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.

١٢ 12 مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَهْوَى ٱلْحَيَاةَ، وَيُحِبُّ كَثْرَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِيَرَى خَيْرًا؟

Who is the man that desireth life, loveth [many] days, that he may see happiness?

١٣ 13 صُنْ لِسَانَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَشَفَتَيْكَ عَنِ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.

١٤ 14 حِدْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ. ٱطْلُبِ ٱلسَّلَامَةَ، وَٱسْعَ وَرَاءَهَا.

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

١٥ 15 عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ نَحْوَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَأُذُنَاهُ إِلَى صُرَاخِهِمْ.

The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.

١٦ 16 وَجْهُ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِدُّ عَامِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ لِيَقْطَعَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

[But] the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.

١٧ 17 أُولَئِكَ صَرَخُوا، وَٱلرَّبُّ سَمِعَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَدَائِدِهِمْ أَنْقَذَهُمْ.

Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.

١٨ 18 قَرِيبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْمُنْكَسِرِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِي ٱلرُّوحِ.

The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken-hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.

١٩ 19 كَثِيرَةٌ هِيَ بَلَايَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِهَا يُنَجِّيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.

٢٠ 20 يَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ عِظَامِهِ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا لَا يَنْكَسِرُ.

He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

٢١ 21 ٱلشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، وَمُبْغِضُو ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.

٢٢ 22 ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِي نُفُوسِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَيْهِ لَا يُعَاقَبُ.

The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and all that trust in him shall not incur guiltiness.
