المَزامِير 101

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

David’s. A Melody. Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

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

I will behave myself wisely in a blameless way, When wilt thou come in unto me? I will walk to and fro in the blamelessness 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 will not set before mine eyes, a vile thing, —The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto me;

٤ 4 لِيُفَارِقْنِي الْقَلْبُ الْمُنْحَرِفُ فَلَا أَرْتَكِبَ شَرّاً.

A perverse heart, shall depart from me, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

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

He that uttereth slander in secret against his friend, him, will I root out; One of lofty eyes, and of an ambitious heart, him shall I not be able to endure.

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 walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

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

There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, —he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine eyes;

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

Morning by morning, will I uproot, All the lawless ones of the land, That I may cut off, out of the city of Yahweh—All the workers of iniquity.
