المَزامِير 101

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ سَأُشِيدُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَعَدْلِكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَلَكَ أُرَنِّمُ.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

٢ 2 أَسْلُكُ بِتَعَقُّلٍ فِي طَرِيقِ الْكَمَالِ. مَتَى تَأْتِي يَا رَبُّ لِمَعُونَتِي؟ أَسْلُكُ فِي وَسَطِ بَيْتِي بِاسْتِقَامَةِ قَلْبِي.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

٣ 3 لَنْ أَضَعَ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ أَمْراً بَاطِلاً، فَإِنِّي أُبْغِضُ عَمَلَ الضَّالِّينَ لِئَلّا يَلْتَصِقَ بِي.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

٤ 4 لِيُفَارِقْنِي الْقَلْبُ الْمُنْحَرِفُ فَلَا أَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

٥ 5 أُبِيدُ كُلَّ مَنْ يَغْتَابُ قَرِيبَهُ سِرّاً؛ وَذُو الْعَيْنِ الْمُتَشَامِخَةِ وَالْقَلْبِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِ لَا أَحْتَمِلُهُ.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

٦ 6 تَرْعَى عَيْنَايَ الأُمَنَاءَ فِي الأَرْضِ لِيَسْكُنُوا مَعِي. وَخُدَّامِي هُمُ السَّالِكُونَ فِي طَرِيقِ الكَمَالِ.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

٧ 7 لَا يُقِيمُ دَاخِلَ بَيْتِي الْغَشَّاشُونَ، وَالْكَذَبَةُ لَا يَمْثُلُونَ أَمَامِي.

The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

٨ 8 أَقْضِي فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الأَشْرَارِ فِي أَرْضِنَا، حَتَّى أَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ الرَّبِّ كُلَّ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ.

Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
