اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 77

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «يَدُوثُونَ». لِآسَافَ. مَزْمُورٌ صَوْتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَأَصْرُخُ. صَوْتِي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَأَصْغَى إِلَيَّ.

For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.

٢ 2 فِي يَوْمِ ضِيْقِي ٱلْتَمَسْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ. يَدِي فِي ٱللَّيْلِ ٱنْبَسَطَتْ وَلَمْ تَخْدَرْ. أَبَتْ نَفْسِي ٱلتَّعْزِيَةَ.

In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.

٣ 3 أَذْكُرُ ٱللهَ فَأَئِنُّ. أُنَاجِي نَفْسِي فَيُغْشَى عَلَى رُوحِي. سِلَاهْ.

I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)

٤ 4 أَمْسَكْتَ أَجْفَانَ عَيْنَيَّ. ٱنْزَعَجْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ.

All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.

٥ 5 تَفَكَّرْتُ فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ، ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلدَّهْرِيَّةِ.

I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.

٦ 6 أَذْكُرُ تَرَنُّمِي فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. مَعَ قَلْبِي أُنَاجِي، وَرُوحِي تَبْحَثُ:

And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],

٧ 7 «هَلْ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ يَرْفُضُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَلَا يَعُودُ لِلرِّضَا بَعْدُ؟

Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?

٨ 8 هَلِ ٱنْتَهَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ رَحْمَتُهُ؟ ٱنْقَطَعَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ؟

Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?

٩ 9 هَلْ نَسِيَ ٱللهُ رَأْفَةً؟ أَوْ قَفَصَ بِرِجْزِهِ مَرَاحِمَهُ؟». سِلَاهْ.

Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)

١٠ 10 فَقُلْتُ: «هَذَا مَا يُعِلُّنِي: تَغَيُّرُ يَمِينِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ».

And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.

١١ 11 أَذْكُرُ أَعْمَالَ ٱلرَّبِّ. إِذْ أَتَذَكَّرُ عَجَائِبَكَ مُنْذُ ٱلْقِدَمِ،

I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.

١٢ 12 وَأَلْهَجُ بِجَمِيعِ أَفْعَالِكَ، وَبِصَنَائِعِكَ أُنَاجِي.

And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.

١٣ 13 اَللَّهُمَّ، فِي ٱلْقُدْسِ طَرِيقُكَ. أَيُّ إِلَهٍ عَظِيمٌ مِثْلُ ٱللهِ؟

O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?

١٤ 14 أَنْتَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَجَائِبَ. عَرَّفْتَ بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ قُوَّتَكَ.

You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power amongst the nations.

١٥ 15 فَكَكْتَ بِذِرَاعِكَ شَعْبَكَ، بَنِي يَعْقُوبَ وَيُوسُفَ. سِلَاهْ.

You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)

١٦ 16 أَبْصَرَتْكَ ٱلْمِيَاهُ يَا ٱللهُ، أَبْصَرَتْكَ ٱلْمِيَاهُ فَفَزِعَتْ، اِرْتَعَدَتْ أَيْضًا ٱللُّجَجُ.

The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.

١٧ 17 سَكَبَتِ ٱلْغُيُومُ مِيَاهًا، أَعْطَتِ ٱلسُّحُبُ صَوْتًا. أَيْضًا سِهَامُكَ طَارَتْ.

[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.

١٨ 18 صَوْتُ رَعْدِكَ فِي ٱلزَّوْبَعَةِ. ٱلْبُرُوقُ أَضَاءَتِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةَ. ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَرَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.

١٩ 19 فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ طَرِيقُكَ، وَسُبُلُكَ فِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ، وَآثَارُكَ لَمْ تُعْرَفْ.

Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.

٢٠ 20 هَدَيْتَ شَعْبَكَ كَٱلْغَنَمِ بِيَدِ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ.

You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
