اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 89

١ 1 قَصِيدَةٌ لِأَيْثَانَ ٱلْأَزْرَاحِيِّ بِمَرَاحِمِ ٱلرَّبِّ أُغَنِّي إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. لِدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ أُخْبِرُ عَنْ حَقِّكَ بِفَمِي.

An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

٢ 2 لِأَنِّي قُلْتُ: «إِنَّ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ تُبْنَى. ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُثْبِتُ فِيهَا حَقَّكَ».

For I said, 'To the age is kindness built, The heavens! Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.'

٣ 3 «قَطَعْتُ عَهْدًا مَعَ مُخْتَارِي، حَلَفْتُ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي:

I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:

٤ 4 إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أُثَبِّتُ نَسْلَكَ، وَأَبْنِي إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ كُرْسِيَّكَ». سِلَاهْ.

'Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to generation and generation thy throne. (Selah)

٥ 5 وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تَحْمَدُ عَجَائِبَكَ يَارَبُّ، وَحَقَّكَ أَيْضًا فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.

and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ يُعَادِلُ ٱلرَّبَّ. مَنْ يُشْبِهُ ٱلرَّبَّ بَيْنَ أَبْنَاءِ ٱللهِ؟

For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?

٧ 7 إِلَهٌ مَهُوبٌ جِدًّا فِي مُؤَامَرَةِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَمَخُوفٌ عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ.

God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

٨ 8 يَارَبُّ إِلَهَ ٱلْجُنُودِ، مَنْ مِثْلُكَ؟ قَوِيٌّ، رَبٌّ، وَحَقُّكَ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ.

O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee — a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.

٩ 9 أَنْتَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. عِنْدَ ٱرْتِفَاعِ لُجَجِهِ أَنْتَ تُسَكِّنُهَا.

Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

١٠ 10 أَنْتَ سَحَقْتَ رَهَبَ مِثْلَ ٱلْقَتِيلِ. بِذِرَاعِ قُوَّتِكَ بَدَّدْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ.

Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.

١١ 11 لَكَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ. لَكَ أَيْضًا ٱلْأَرْضُ. ٱلْمَسْكُونَةُ وَمِلْؤُهَا أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَهُمَا.

Thine [are] the heavens — the earth also [is] Thine, The habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them.

١٢ 12 ٱلشِّمَالُ وَٱلْجَنُوبُ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُمَا. تَابُورُ وَحَرْمُونُ بِٱسْمِكَ يَهْتِفَانِ.

North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon in Thy name do sing.

١٣ 13 لَكَ ذِرَاعُ ٱلْقُدْرَةِ. قَوِيَّةٌ يَدُكَ. مُرْتَفِعَةٌ يَمِينُكَ.

Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand — high Thy right hand.

١٤ 14 ٱلْعَدْلُ وَٱلْحَقُّ قَاعِدَةُ كُرْسِيِّكَ. ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَٱلْأَمَانَةُ تَتَقَدَّمَانِ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ.

Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.

١٥ 15 طُوبَى لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ ٱلْهُتَافَ. يَارَبُّ، بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ يَسْلُكُونَ.

O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually.

١٦ 16 بِٱسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَبِعَدْلِكَ يَرْتَفِعُونَ.

In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy righteousness they are exalted,

١٧ 17 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ فَخْرُ قُوَّتِهِمْ، وَبِرِضَاكَ يَنْتَصِبُ قَرْنُنَا.

For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy good will is our horn exalted,

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مِجَنُّنَا، وَقُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَلِكُنَا.

For of Jehovah [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of Israel our king.

١٩ 19 حِينَئِذٍ كَلَّمْتَ بِرُؤْيَا تَقِيَّكَ وَقُلْتَ: «جَعَلْتُ عَوْنًا عَلَى قَوِيٍّ. رَفَعْتُ مُخْتَارًا مِنْ بَيْنِ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen one out of the people,

٢٠ 20 وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي. بِدُهْنِ قُدْسِي مَسَحْتُهُ.

I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have anointed him.

٢١ 21 ٱلَّذِي تَثْبُتُ يَدِي مَعَهُ. أَيْضًا ذِرَاعِي تُشَدِّدُهُ.

With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth strengthen him.

٢٢ 22 لَا يُرْغِمُهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَٱبْنُ ٱلْإِثْمِ لَا يُذَلِّلُهُ.

An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

٢٣ 23 وَأَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَضْرِبُ مُبْغِضِيهِ.

And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And those hating him I plague,

٢٤ 24 أَمَّا أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي فَمَعَهُ، وَبِٱسْمِي يَنْتَصِبُ قَرْنُهُ.

And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My name is his horn exalted.

٢٥ 25 وَأَجْعَلُ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَدَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ يَمِينَهُ.

And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

٢٦ 26 هُوَ يَدْعُونِي: أَبِي أَنْتَ، إِلَهِي وَصَخْرَةُ خَلَاصِي.

He proclaimeth me: 'Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

٢٧ 27 أَنَا أَيْضًا أَجْعَلُهُ بِكْرًا، أَعْلَى مِنْ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

٢٨ 28 إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ أَحْفَظُ لَهُ رَحْمَتِي. وَعَهْدِي يُثَبَّتُ لَهُ.

To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant [is] stedfast with him.

٢٩ 29 وَأَجْعَلُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the days of the heavens.

٣٠ 30 إِنْ تَرَكَ بَنُوهُ شَرِيعَتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا بِأَحْكَامِي،

If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not walk;

٣١ 31 إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يَحْفَظُوا وَصَايَايَ،

If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep,

٣٢ 32 أَفْتَقِدُ بِعَصًا مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ، وَبِضَرَبَاتٍ إِثْمَهُمْ.

I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And with strokes their iniquity,

٣٣ 33 أَمَّا رَحْمَتِي فَلَا أَنْزِعُهَا عَنْهُ، وَلَا أَكْذِبُ مِنْ جِهَةِ أَمَانَتِي.

And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

٣٤ 34 لَا أَنْقُضُ عَهْدِي، وَلَا أُغَيِّرُ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ شَفَتَيَّ.

I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

٣٥ 35 مَرَّةً حَلَفْتُ بِقُدْسِي، أَنِّي لَا أَكْذِبُ لِدَاوُدَ:

Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David,

٣٦ 36 نَسْلُهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يَكُونُ، وَكُرْسِيُّهُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ أَمَامِي.

His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun before Me,

٣٧ 37 مِثْلَ ٱلْقَمَرِ يُثَبَّتُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. وَٱلشَّاهِدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَمِينٌ. سِلَاهْ.

As the moon it is established — to the age, And the witness in the sky is stedfast. (Selah)

٣٨ 38 لَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ، غَضِبْتَ عَلَى مَسِيحِكَ.

And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed,

٣٩ 39 نَقَضْتَ عَهْدَ عَبْدِكَ، نَجَّسْتَ تَاجَهُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ.

Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast polluted to the earth his crown,

٤٠ 40 هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ جُدْرَانِهِ جَعَلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَابًا.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his fenced places a ruin.

٤١ 41 أَفْسَدَهُ كُلُّ عَابِرِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ صَارَ عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِهِ.

Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a reproach to his neighbours,

٤٢ 42 رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ مُضَايِقِيهِ، فَرَّحْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ.

Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.

٤٣ 43 أَيْضًا رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي ٱلْقِتَالِ.

Also — Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And hast not established him in battle,

٤٤ 44 أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ، وَأَلْقَيْتَ كُرْسِيَّهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.

٤٥ 45 قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ غَطَّيْتَهُ بِٱلْخِزْيِ. سِلَاهْ.

Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered him over [with] shame. (Selah)

٤٦ 46 حَتَّى مَتَى يَارَبُّ تَخْتَبِئُ كُلَّ ٱلِٱخْتِبَاءِ؟ حَتَّى مَتَى يَتَّقِدُ كَٱلنَّارِ غَضَبُكَ؟

Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy fury burn as fire?

٤٧ 47 ٱذْكُرْ كَيْفَ أَنَا زَائِلٌ، إِلَى أَيِّ بَاطِلٍ خَلَقْتَ جَمِيعَ بَنِي آدَمَ!

Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in vain hast Thou created All the sons of men?

٤٨ 48 أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَحْيَا وَلَا يَرَى ٱلْمَوْتَ؟ أَيٌّ يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ؟ سِلَاهْ. (Sheol h7585)

Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

٤٩ 49 أَيْنَ مَرَاحِمُكَ ٱلْأُوَلُ يَارَبُّ، ٱلَّتِي حَلَفْتَ بِهَا لِدَاوُدَ بِأَمَانَتِكَ؟

Where [are] Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn to David in Thy faithfulness,

٥٠ 50 ٱذْكُرْ يَارَبُّ عَارَ عَبِيدِكَ ٱلَّذِي أَحْتَمِلُهُ فِي حِضْنِي مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْأُمَمِ كُلِّهَا،

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

٥١ 51 ٱلَّذِي بِهِ عَيَّرَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَارَبُّ، ٱلَّذِينَ عَيَّرُوا آثَارَ مَسِيحِكَ.

Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.

٥٢ 52 مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. آمِينَ فَآمِينَ.

Blessed [is] Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen!
