اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 91

١ 1 اَلسَّاكِنُ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، فِي ظِلِّ ٱلْقَدِيرِ يَبِيتُ.

Praise of a Song, by David. He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven.

٢ 2 أَقُولُ لِلرَّبِّ: «مَلْجَإِي وَحِصْنِي. إِلَهِي فَأَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ».

He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُ يُنَجِّيكَ مِنْ فَخِّ ٱلصَّيَّادِ وَمِنَ ٱلْوَبَإِ ٱلْخَطِرِ.

For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from [every] troublesome matter.

٤ 4 بِخَوَافِيهِ يُظَلِّلُكَ، وَتَحْتَ أَجْنِحَتِهِ تَحْتَمِي. تُرْسٌ وَمِجَنٌّ حَقُّهُ.

He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield.

٥ 5 لَا تَخْشَى مِنْ خَوْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَلَا مِنْ سَهْمٍ يَطِيرُ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ،

Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day;

٦ 6 وَلَا مِنْ وَبَإٍ يَسْلُكُ فِي ٱلدُّجَى، وَلَا مِنْ هَلَاكٍ يُفْسِدُ فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ.

[nor] of the [evil] thing that walks in darkness; [nor] of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day.

٧ 7 يَسْقُطُ عَنْ جَانِبِكَ أَلْفٌ، وَرِبْوَاتٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ. إِلَيْكَ لَا يَقْرُبُ.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

٨ 8 إِنَّمَا بِعَيْنَيْكَ تَنْظُرُ وَتَرَى مُجَازَاةَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

٩ 9 لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: «أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ مَلْجَإِي». جَعَلْتَ ٱلْعَلِيَّ مَسْكَنَكَ،

For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge.

١٠ 10 لَا يُلَاقِيكَ شَرٌّ، وَلَا تَدْنُو ضَرْبَةٌ مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ.

No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw nigh to thy dwelling.

١١ 11 لِأَنَّهُ يُوصِي مَلَائِكَتَهُ بِكَ لِكَيْ يَحْفَظُوكَ فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِكَ.

For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

١٢ 12 عَلَى ٱلْأَيْدِي يَحْمِلُونَكَ لِئَلَّا تَصْدِمَ بِحَجَرٍ رِجْلَكَ.

They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

١٣ 13 عَلَى ٱلْأَسَدِ وَٱلصِّلِّ تَطَأُ. ٱلشِّبْلَ وَٱلثُّعْبَانَ تَدُوسُ.

Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.

١٤ 14 «لِأَنَّهُ تَعَلَّقَ بِي أُنَجِّيهِ. أُرَفِّعُهُ لِأَنَّهُ عَرَفَ ٱسْمِي.

For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name.

١٥ 15 يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ، مَعَهُ أَنَا فِي ٱلضِّيقِ، أُنْقِذُهُ وَأُمَجِّدُهُ.

He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him.

١٦ 16 مِنْ طُولِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أُشْبِعُهُ، وَأُرِيهِ خَلَاصِي».

I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.
