اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 72

١ 1 لِسُلَيْمَانَ اَللَّهُمَّ، أَعْطِ أَحْكَامَكَ لِلْمَلِكِ، وَبِرَّكَ لِٱبْنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.

A psalm of Solomon. God, please give the king fairness, and give the king's son the ability to do what's right.

٢ 2 يَدِينُ شَعْبَكَ بِٱلْعَدْلِ، وَمَسَاكِينَكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ.

May he rightly judge your people, and may he be fair to the poor.

٣ 3 تَحْمِلُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَلَامًا لِلشَّعْبِ، وَٱلْآكَامُ بِٱلْبِرِّ.

May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring goodness.

٤ 4 يَقْضِي لِمَسَاكِينِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. يُخَلِّصُ بَنِي ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، وَيَسْحَقُ ٱلظَّالِمَ.

May he defend the poor and save their children, may he crush those who oppress them.

٥ 5 يَخْشَوْنَكَ مَا دَامَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ، وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْقَمَرِ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

May they respect him as long as the sun and the moon shine above, for all generations.

٦ 6 يَنْزِلُ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَطَرِ عَلَى ٱلْجُزَازِ، وَمِثْلَ ٱلْغُيُوثِ ٱلذَّارِفَةِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

May his reign be like rain falling on new grass, like showers that water the earth.

٧ 7 يُشْرِقُ فِي أَيَّامِهِ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ، وَكَثْرَةُ ٱلسَّلَامِ إِلَى أَنْ يَضْمَحِلَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ.

May those who live right prosper under his rule; may there be great prosperity until the moon is no more.

٨ 8 وَيَمْلِكُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.

May he rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth.

٩ 9 أَمَامَهُ تَجْثُو أَهْلُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَأَعْدَاؤُهُ يَلْحَسُونَ ٱلتُّرَابَ.

Desert tribes will kneel before him; and his enemies will bite the dust.

١٠ 10 مُلُوكُ تَرْشِيشَ وَٱلْجَزَائِرِ يُرْسِلُونَ تَقْدِمَةً. مُلُوكُ شَبَا وَسَبَإٍ يُقَدِّمُونَ هَدِيَّةً.

The kings of Tarshish and the islands will bring him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba will present him with gifts.

١١ 11 وَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ كُلُّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ. كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ تَتَعَبَّدُ لَهُ.

Every king will bow down to him; every nation will serve him.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ يُنَجِّي ٱلْفَقِيرَ ٱلْمُسْتَغِيثَ، وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ إِذْ لَا مُعِينَ لَهُ.

He will help the poor when they cry out to him, and help those who are suffering that have no one to support them.

١٣ 13 يُشْفِقُ عَلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْبَائِسِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ أَنْفُسَ ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ.

He has pity on the poor and needy—he saves their lives!

١٤ 14 مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْخَطْفِ يَفْدِي أَنْفُسَهُمْ، وَيُكْرَمُ دَمُهُمْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.

He rescues them from violence and oppression, for their lives mean so much to him.

١٥ 15 وَيَعِيشُ وَيُعْطِيهِ مِنْ ذَهَبِ شَبَا. وَيُصَلِّي لِأَجْلِهِ دَائِمًا. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يُبَارِكُهُ.

May he live long! May the gold from Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him and bless him all day long.

١٦ 16 تَكُونُ حُفْنَةُ بُرٍّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ. تَتَمَايَلُ مِثْلَ لُبْنَانَ ثَمَرَتُهَا، وَيُزْهِرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِثْلَ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

May there be plenty of grain in the land, even growing on mountain-tops. May the fruit on the trees sway like the trees of Lebanon. May the people in the city flourish like grass in a field.

١٧ 17 يَكُونُ ٱسْمُهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَمْتَدُّ ٱسْمُهُ، وَيَتَبَارَكُونَ بِهِ. كُلُّ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُطَوِّبُونَهُ.

May his fame live forever, may it last as long as the sun. May all nations be blessed through him, and may they praise him.

١٨ 18 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱللهُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَجَائِبَ وَحْدَهُ.

Praise the Lord God, the God of Israel, who is the only one who can do such fantastic things!

١٩ 19 وَمُبَارَكٌ ٱسْمُ مَجْدِهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ، وَلْتَمْتَلِئِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ مَجْدِهِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِينَ.

Praise his wonderful nature forever! May the whole world be full of his glory! Amen and amen!

٢٠ 20 تَمَّتْ صَلَوَاتُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى

(This is the end of the psalms of David, son of Jesse.)
