اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 71

١ 1 بِكَ يَارَبُّ ٱحْتَمَيْتُ، فَلَا أَخْزَى إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.

٢ 2 بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي. أَمِلْ إِلَيَّ أُذْنَكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

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

Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

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

My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

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

For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.

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

On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

٧ 7 صِرْتُ كَآيَةٍ لِكَثِيرِينَ. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَمَلْجَإِي ٱلْقَوِيُّ.

I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

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

My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, 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 faileth.

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

For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,

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

Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize 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; my God, hasten to my help.

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

Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

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

But as for me, 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 declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].

١٦ 16 آتِي بِجَبَرُوتِ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ. أَذْكُرُ بِرَّكَ وَحْدَكَ.

I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.

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

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:

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

Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.

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

And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?

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

Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;

٢١ 21 تَزِيدُ عَظَمَتِي وَتَرْجِعُ فَتُعَزِّينِي.

Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

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, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.

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

My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast 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; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
