اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 9

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. عَلَى «مَوْتِ ٱلِٱبْنِ». مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَحْمَدُ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي. أُحَدِّثُ بِجَمِيعِ عَجَائِبِكَ.

Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.

٢ 2 أَفْرَحُ وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِكَ. أُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْعَلِيُّ.

I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].

٣ 3 عِنْدَ رُجُوعِ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى خَلْفٍ، يَسْقُطُونَ وَيَهْلِكُونَ مِنْ قُدَّامِ وَجْهِكَ،

When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّكَ أَقَمْتَ حَقِّي وَدَعْوَايَ. جَلَسْتَ عَلَى ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ قَاضِيًا عَادِلًا.

You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.

٥ 5 ٱنْتَهَرْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ. أَهْلَكْتَ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ. مَحَوْتَ ٱسْمَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.

٦ 6 اَلْعَدُوُّ تَمَّ خَرَابُهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. وَهَدَمْتَ مُدُنًا. بَادَ ذِكْرُهُ نَفْسُهُ.

Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.

٧ 7 أَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَإِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ يَجْلِسُ. ثَبَّتَ لِلْقَضَاءِ كُرْسِيَّهُ،

But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,

٨ 8 وَهُوَ يَقْضِي لِلْمَسْكُونَةِ بِٱلْعَدْلِ. يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ بِٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةِ.

and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].

٩ 9 وَيَكُونُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَلْجَأً لِلْمُنْسَحِقِ. مَلْجَأً فِي أَزْمِنَةِ ٱلضِّيقِ.

Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.

١٠ 10 وَيَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْعَارِفُونَ ٱسْمَكَ، لِأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَتْرُكْ طَالِبِيكَ يَارَبُّ.

Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).

١١ 11 رَنِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، أَخْبِرُوا بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ بِأَفْعَالِهِ.

Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.

١٢ 12 لِأَنَّهُ مُطَالِبٌ بِٱلدِّمَاءِ. ذَكَرَهُمْ. لَمْ يَنْسَ صُرَاخَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ.

He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.

١٣ 13 اِرْحَمْنِي يَارَبُّ. ٱنْظُرْ مَذَلَّتِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ، يَارَافِعِي مِنْ أَبْوَابِٱلْمَوْتِ،

Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].

١٤ 14 لِكَيْ أُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ تَسَابِيحِكَ فِي أَبْوَابِ ٱبْنَةِ صِهْيَوْنَ، مُبْتَهِجًا بِخَلَاصِكَ.

I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.

١٥ 15 تَوَرَّطَتِ ٱلْأُمَمُ فِي ٱلْحُفْرَةِ ٱلَّتِي عَمِلُوهَا. فِي ٱلشَّبَكَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَخْفَوْهَا ٱنْتَشَبَتْ أَرْجُلُهُمْ.

[It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.

١٦ 16 مَعْرُوفٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ. قَضَاءً أَمْضَى. ٱلشِّرِّيرُ يَعْلَقُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ. ضَرْبُ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ. سِلَاهْ.

Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.

١٧ 17 اَلْأَشْرَارُ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلنَّاسِينَ ٱللهَ. (Sheol h7585)

Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُنْسَى ٱلْمِسْكِينُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. رَجَاءُ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ لَا يَخِيبُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ.

But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.

١٩ 19 قُمْ يَارَبُّ. لَا يَعْتَزَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. لِتُحَاكَمِ ٱلْأُمَمُ قُدَّامَكَ.

Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.

٢٠ 20 يَارَبُّ ٱجْعَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ رُعْبًا لِيَعْلَمَ ٱلْأُمَمُ أَنَّهُمْ بَشَرٌ. سِلَاهْ.

Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
