اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 69

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «ٱلسُّوْسَنِّ». لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا ٱللهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ إِلَى نَفْسِي.

To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

٢ 2 غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ عَمِيقَةٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَقَرٌّ. دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلسَّيْلُ غَمَرَنِي.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.

٣ 3 تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. يَبِسَ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ مِنِ ٱنْتِظَارِ إِلَهِي.

I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

٤ 4 أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي ٱلَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. ٱعْتَزَّ مُسْتَهْلِكِيَّ أَعْدَائِي ظُلْمًا. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أَخْطَفْهُ.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

٥ 5 يَا ٱللهُ أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ حَمَاقَتِي، وَذُنُوبِي عَنْكَ لَمْ تَخْفَ.

Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.

٦ 6 لَا يَخْزَ بِي مُنْتَظِرُوكَ يَا سَيِّدُ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. لَا يَخْجَلْ بِي مُلْتَمِسُوكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.

٧ 7 لِأَنِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكَ ٱحْتَمَلْتُ ٱلْعَارَ. غَطَّى ٱلْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.

٨ 8 صِرْتُ أَجْنَبِيًّا عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِي، وَغَرِيبًا عِنْدَ بَنِي أُمِّي.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;

٩ 9 لِأَنَّ غَيْرَةَ بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي، وَتَعْيِيرَاتِ مُعَيِّرِيكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.

For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.

١٠ 10 وَأَبْكَيْتُ بِصَوْمٍ نَفْسِي، فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَارًا عَلَيَّ.

And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; —

١١ 11 جَعَلْتُ لِبَاسِي مِسْحًا، وَصِرْتُ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا.

And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them.

١٢ 12 يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيَّ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ فِي ٱلْبَابِ، وَأَغَانِيُّ شَرَّابِي ٱلْمُسْكِرِ.

They that sit in the gate talk of me, and [I am] the song of the drunkards.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلَاتِي يَارَبُّ فِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا ٱللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلَاصِكَ.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:

١٤ 14 نَجِّنِي مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.

١٥ 15 لَا يَغْمُرَنِّي سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي ٱلْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عَلَيَّ فَاهَا.

Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

١٦ 16 ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي يَارَبُّ لِأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. كَكَثْرَةِ مَرَاحِمِكَ ٱلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;

١٧ 17 وَلَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لِأَنَّ لِي ضِيْقًا. ٱسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعًا.

And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.

١٨ 18 ٱقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي. فُكَّهَا. بِسَبَبِ أَعْدَائِي ٱفْدِنِي.

Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

١٩ 19 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَخَجَلِي. قُدَّامَكَ جَمِيعُ مُضَايِقِيَّ.

Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

٢٠ 20 ٱلْعَارُ قَدْ كَسَرَ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. ٱنْتَظَرْتُ رِقَّةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ.

Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

٢١ 21 وَيَجْعَلُونَ فِي طَعَامِي عَلْقَمًا، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلًّا.

Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

٢٢ 22 لِتَصِرْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ قُدَّامَهُمْ فَخًّا، وَلِلْآمِنِينَ شَرَكًا.

Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;

٢٣ 23 لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْبَصَرِ، وَقَلْقِلْ مُتُونَهُمْ دَائِمًا.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.

٢٤ 24 صُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطَكَ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِكَ.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

٢٥ 25 لِتَصِرْ دَارُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَفِي خِيَامِهِمْ لَا يَكُنْ سَاكِنٌ.

Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.

٢٦ 26 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ضَرَبْتَهُ أَنْتَ هُمْ طَرَدُوهُ، وَبِوَجَعِ ٱلَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.

٢٧ 27 اِجْعَلْ إِثْمًا عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُوا فِي بِرِّكَ.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.

٢٨ 28 لِيُمْحَوْا مِنْ سِفْرِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، وَمَعَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ لَا يُكْتَبُوا.

Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

٢٩ 29 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَكَئِيبٌ. خَلَاصُكَ يَا ٱللهُ فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي.

But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.

٣٠ 30 أُسَبِّحُ ٱسْمَ ٱللهِ بِتَسْبِيحٍ، وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;

٣١ 31 فَيُسْتَطَابُ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَوْرِ بَقَرٍ ذِي قُرُونٍ وَأَظْلَافٍ.

And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, — a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.

٣٢ 32 يَرَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَتَحْيَا قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي ٱللهِ.

The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.

٣٣ 33 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ سَامِعٌ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ أَسْرَاهُ.

For Jehovah heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.

٣٤ 34 تُسَبِّحُهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ، ٱلْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ فِيهَا.

Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.

٣٥ 35 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُونَ هُنَاكَ وَيَرِثُونَهَا.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it:

٣٦ 36 وَنَسْلُ عَبِيدِهِ يَمْلِكُونَهَا، وَمُحِبُّو ٱسْمِهِ يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا.

And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
