اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 43

١ 1 اِقْضِ لِي يَا ٱللهُ، وَخَاصِمْ مُخَاصَمَتِي مَعَ أُمَّةٍ غَيْرِ رَاحِمَةٍ، وَمِنْ إِنْسَانِ غِشٍّ وَظُلْمٍ نَجِّنِي.

Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, deliver me.

٢ 2 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ حِصْنِي. لِمَاذَا رَفَضْتَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا أَتَمَشَّى حَزِينًا مِنْ مُضَايَقَةِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ؟

For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?

٣ 3 أَرْسِلْ نُورَكَ وَحَقَّكَ، هُمَا يَهْدِيَانِنِي وَيَأْتِيَانِبِي إِلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِكَ وَإِلَى مَسَاكِنِكَ.

Send forth your light and your truth, let them be my guides: to your holy hill let them bring me, to the place where you live.

٤ 4 فَآتِي إِلَى مَذْبَحِ ٱللهِ، إِلَى ٱللهِ بَهْجَةِ فَرَحِي، وَأَحْمَدُكَ بِٱلْعُودِ يَا ٱللهُ إِلَهِي.

Then will I go to God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.

٥ 5 لِمَاذَا أَنْتِ مُنْحَنِيَةٌ يَا نَفْسِي؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَئِنِّينَ فِيَّ؟ تَرَجَّيِ ٱللهَ، لِأَنِّي بَعْدُ أَحْمَدُهُ، خَلَاصَ وَجْهِي وَإِلَهِي.

Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
