اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 36

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ نَأْمَةُ مَعْصِيَةِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ فِي دَاخِلِ قَلْبِي أَنْ لَيْسَ خَوْفُ ٱللهِ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.

For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّهُ مَلَّقَ نَفْسَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ جِهَةِ وِجْدَانِ إِثْمِهِ وَبُغْضِهِلإ.

In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.

٣ 3 كَلَامُ فَمِهِ إِثْمٌ وَغِشٌّ. كَفَّ عَنِ ٱلتَّعَقُّلِ، عَنْ عَمَلِ ٱلْخَيْرِ.

Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.

٤ 4 يَتَفَكَّرُ بِٱلْإِثْمِ عَلَى مَضْجَعِهِ. يَقِفُ فِي طَرِيقٍ غَيْرِ صَالِحٍ. لَا يَرْفُضُ ٱلشَّرَّ.

Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.

٥ 5 يَارَبُّ، فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ رَحْمَتُكَ. أَمَانَتُكَ إِلَى ٱلْغَمَامِ.

Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.

٦ 6 عَدْلُكَ مِثْلُ جِبَالِ ٱللهِ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ لُجَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ. ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ تُخَلِّصُ يَارَبُّ.

Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.

٧ 7 مَا أَكْرَمَ رَحْمَتَكَ يَا ٱللهُ! فَبَنُو ٱلْبَشَرِ فِي ظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ يَحْتَمُونَ.

God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.

٨ 8 يَرْوَوْنَ مِنْ دَسَمِ بَيْتِكَ، وَمِنْ نَهْرِ نِعَمِكَ تَسْقِيهِمْ.

They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ عِنْدَكَ يَنْبُوعَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ. بِنُورِكَ نَرَى نُورًا.

You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.

١٠ 10 أَدِمْ رَحْمَتَكَ لِلَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَكَ، وَعَدْلَكَ لِلْمُسْتَقِيمِي ٱلْقَلْبِ.

Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.

١١ 11 لَا تَأْتِنِي رِجْلُ ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ، وَيَدُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ لَا تُزَحْزِحْنِي.

Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.

١٢ 12 هُنَاكَ سَقَطَ فَاعِلُو ٱلْإِثْمِ. دُحِرُوا فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا ٱلْقِيَامَ.

Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
