اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 40

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِنْتِظَارًا ٱنْتَظَرْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَمَالَ إِلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُرَاخِي،

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

٢ 2 وَأَصْعَدَنِي مِنْ جُبِّ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، مِنْ طِينِ ٱلْحَمْأَةِ، وَأَقَامَ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ رِجْلَيَّ. ثَبَّتَ خُطُوَاتِي،

He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.

٣ 3 وَجَعَلَ فِي فَمِي تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَةً لِإِلَهِنَا. كَثِيرُونَ يَرَوْنَ وَيَخَافُونَ وَيَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.

And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

٤ 4 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ مُتَّكَلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى ٱلْغَطَارِيسِ وَٱلْمُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ.

Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.

٥ 5 كَثِيرًا مَا جَعَلْتَ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي عَجَائِبَكَ وَأَفْكَارَكَ مِنْ جِهَتِنَا. لَا تُقَوَّمُ لَدَيْكَ. لَأُخْبِرَنَّ وَأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ بِهَا. زَادَتْ عَنْ أَنْ تُعَدَّ.

Many things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.

٦ 6 بِذَبِيحَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةٍ لَمْ تُسَرَّ. أُذُنَيَّ فَتَحْتَ. مُحْرَقَةً وَذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَطْلُبْ.

Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.

٧ 7 حِينَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَأَنَذَا جِئْتُ. بِدَرْجِ ٱلْكِتَابِ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي:

Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;

٨ 8 أَنْ أَفْعَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ يَا إِلَهِي سُرِرْتُ، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ فِي وَسَطِ أَحْشَائِي».

I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

٩ 9 بَشَّرْتُ بِبِرٍّ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ. هُوَذَا شَفَتَايَ لَمْ أَمْنَعْهُمَا. أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَلِمْتَ.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.

١٠ 10 لَمْ أَكْتُمْ عَدْلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ قَلْبِي. تَكَلَّمْتُ بِأَمَانَتِكَ وَخَلَاصِكَ. لَمْ أُخْفِ رَحْمَتَكَ وَحَقَّكَ عَنِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ.

I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.

١١ 11 أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَلَا تَمْنَعْ رَأْفَتَكَ عَنِّي. تَنْصُرُنِي رَحْمَتُكَ وَحَقُّكَ دَائِمًا.

Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّ شُرُورًا لَا تُحْصَى قَدِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. حَاقَتْ بِي آثَامِي، وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُبْصِرَ. كَثُرَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَقَلْبِي قَدْ تَرَكَنِي.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.

١٣ 13 اِرْتَضِ يَارَبُّ بِأَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي. يَارَبُّ، إِلَى مَعُونَتِي أَسْرِعْ.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.

١٤ 14 لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعًا ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِإِهْلَاكِهَا. لِيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَلْيَخْزَ ٱلْمَسْرُورُونَ بِأَذِيَّتِي.

Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

١٥ 15 لِيَسْتَوْحِشْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خِزْيِهِمِ ٱلْقَائِلُونَ لِي: «هَهْ! هَهْ!».

Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'

١٦ 16 لِيَبْتَهِجْ وَيَفْرَحْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ مُحِبُّو خَلَاصِكَ: «يَتَعَظَّمُ ٱلرَّبُّ».

Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'The LORD be magnified.'

١٧ 17 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَبَائِسٌ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَهْتَمُّ بِي. عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تُبْطِئْ.

But, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.
