اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 52

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ دُوَاغُ اَلْأَدُومِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَ شَاوُلَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «جَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيمَالِكَ». لِمَاذَا تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ؟ رَحْمَةُ ٱللهِ هِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ!

For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.

٢ 2 لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ مَفَاسِدَ. كَمُوسَى مَسْنُونَةٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

٣ 3 أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ، ٱلْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. سِلَاهْ.

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

٤ 4 أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلَامٍ مُهْلِكٍ، وَلِسَانِ غِشٍّ.

You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

٥ 5 أَيْضًا يَهْدِمُكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. يَخْطَفُكَ وَيَقْلَعُكَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. سِلَاهْ.

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

٦ 6 فَيَرَى ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَعَلَيْهِ يَضْحَكُونَ:

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

٧ 7 «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ ٱللهَ حِصْنَهُ، بَلِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَٱعْتَزَّ بِفَسَادِهِ».

“Behold, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

٨ 8 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى رَحْمَةِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

٩ 9 أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لِأَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ ٱسْمَكَ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ قُدَّامَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.

I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
