اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 71

١ 1 بِكَ يَارَبُّ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ، فَلَا أَخْزَى إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame.

٢ 2 بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذْنَكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me. Bow down thine ear to me, and save me.

٣ 3 كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَإٍ أَدْخُلُهُ دَائِمًا. أَمَرْتَ بِخَلَاصِي لِأَنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي.

Be thou to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually resort. Thou have given commandment to save me, for thou are my rock and my fortress.

٤ 4 يَا إِلَهِي، نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ، مِنْ كَفِّ فَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلظَّالِمِ.

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of a wicked man, out of the hand of an unrighteous and cruel man.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي يَا سَيِّدِي ٱلرَّبَّ، مُتَّكَلِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ.

For thou are my hope, O lord Jehovah, my trust from my youth.

٦ 6 عَلَيْكَ ٱسْتَنَدْتُ مِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ، وَأَنْتَ مُخْرِجِي مِنْ أَحْشَاءِ أُمِّي. بِكَ تَسْبِيحِي دَائِمًا.

By thee I have been held up from the womb. Thou are he who took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise shall be continually of thee.

٧ 7 صِرْتُ كَآيَةٍ لِكَثِيرِينَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَمَلْجَإِي ٱلْقَوِيُّ.

I am as a wonder to many, but thou are my strong refuge.

٨ 8 يَمْتَلِئُ فَمِي مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ، ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ مَجْدِكَ.

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy honor all the day.

٩ 9 لَا تَرْفُضْنِي فِي زَمَنِ ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ. لَا تَتْرُكْنِي عِنْدَ فَنَاءِ قُوَّتِي.

Cast me not off in the time of old age. Forsake me not when my strength fails.

١٠ 10 لِأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَقَاوَلُوا عَلَيَّ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَرْصُدُونَ نَفْسِي تَآمَرُوا مَعًا.

For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my soul take counsel together,

١١ 11 قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ تَرَكَهُ. ٱلْحَقُوهُ وَأَمْسِكُوهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا مُنْقِذَ لَهُ».

saying, God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver.

١٢ 12 يَا ٱللهُ، لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي. يَا إِلَهِي، إِلَى مَعُونَتِي أَسْرِعْ.

O God, be not far from me. O my God, make haste to help me.

١٣ 13 لِيَخْزَ وَيَفْنَ مُخَاصِمُو نَفْسِي. لِيَلْبَسِ ٱلْعَارَ وَٱلْخَجَلَ ٱلْمُلْتَمِسُونَ لِي شَرًّا.

Let them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my soul. Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor who seek my hurt.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَرْجُو دَائِمًا، وَأَزِيدُ عَلَى كُلِّ تَسْبِيحِكَ.

But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

١٥ 15 فَمِي يُحَدِّثُ بِعَدْلِكَ، ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ بِخَلَاصِكَ، لِأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ لَهَا أَعْدَادًا.

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, of thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers.

١٦ 16 آتِي بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. أَذْكُرُ بِرَّكَ وَحْدَكَ.

I will come with the mighty acts of the lord Jehovah. I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

١٧ 17 اَللَّهُمَّ، قَدْ عَلَّمْتَنِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْآنَ أُخْبِرُ بِعَجَائِبِكَ.

O God, thou have taught me from my youth, and I have declared thy wondrous works until now.

١٨ 18 وَأَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلشَّيْخُوخَةِ وَٱلشَّيْبِيَا ٱللهُ لَا تَتْرُكْنِي، حَتَّى أُخْبِرَ بِذِرَاعِكَ ٱلْجِيلَ ٱلْمُقْبِلَ، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ كُلَّ آتٍ.

Yea, even when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared thy strength to a generation, thy might to everyone who is to come.

١٩ 19 وَبِرُّكَ إِلَى ٱلْعَلْيَاءِ يَا ٱللهُ، ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتَ ٱلْعَظَائِمَ. يَا ٱللهُ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ؟

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, thou who have done great things. O God, who is like thee?

٢٠ 20 أَنْتَ ٱلَّذِي أَرَيْتَنَا ضِيقَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً وَرَدِيئَةً، تَعُودُ فَتُحْيِينَا، وَمِنْ أَعْمَاقِ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَعُودُ فَتُصْعِدُنَا.

Thou, who have shown us many and great troubles, will revive us again, and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

٢١ 21 تَزِيدُ عَظَمَتِي وَتَرْجِعُ فَتُعَزِّينِي.

Increase thou my greatness, and turn again and comfort me.

٢٢ 22 فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَحْمَدُكَ بِرَبَابٍ، حَقَّكَ يَا إِلَهِي. أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ بِٱلْعُودِ يَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God. To thee I will sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

٢٣ 23 تَبْتَهِجُ شَفَتَايَ إِذْ أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ، وَنَفْسِي ٱلَّتِي فَدَيْتَهَا.

My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to thee, and my soul, which thou have redeemed.

٢٤ 24 وَلِسَانِي أَيْضًا ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يَلْهَجُ بِبِرِّكَ. لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَزِيَ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ خَجِلَ ٱلْمُلْتَمِسُونَ لِي شَرًّا.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long. For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek my hurt.
