المَزامِير 103

١ 1 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي الرَّبَّ، وَلْيَحْمَدْ كُلُّ مَا فِي دَاخِلِي اسْمَهُ الْقُدُّوسَ.

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.

٢ 2 بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي الرَّبَّ، وَلَا تَنْسَيْ جَمِيعَ خَيْرَاتِهِ.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:

٣ 3 إِنَّهُ يَغْفِرُ جَمِيعَ آثَامِكِ وَيُبْرِئُ كُلَّ أَمْرَاضِكِ.

who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;

٤ 4 وَيَفْدِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ حَيَاتَكِ وَيُتَوِّجُكِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالرَّأْفَةِ.

who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;

٥ 5 وَيُشْبِعُ بِالْخَيْرِ عُمْرَكِ فَيَتَجَدَّدُ كَالنَّسْرِ شَبَابُكِ.

who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.

٦ 6 الرَّبُّ يَحْكُمُ بِالعَدْلِ وَيُنْصِفُ جَمِيعَ الْمَظْلُومِينَ.

The Lord executes mercy and judgment for all that are injured.

٧ 7 أَطْلَعَ مُوسَى عَلَى طُرُقِهِ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى أَفْعَالِهِ.

He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.

٨ 8 الرَّبُّ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، بَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ وَوَافِرُ الرَّحْمَةِ.

The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.

٩ 9 لَا يَسْخَطُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَلَا يَحْقِدُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ.

He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.

١٠ 10 لَمْ يُعَامِلْنَا حَسَبَ خَطَايَانَا وَلَمْ يُجَازِنَا حَسَبَ آثَامِنَا.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.

١١ 11 مِثْلَ ارْتِفَاعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ، تَعَاظَمَتْ رَحْمَتُهُ عَلَى مُتَّقِيهِ.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy toward them that fear him.

١٢ 12 وَكَبُعْدِ الْمَشْرِقِ عَنِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَبْعَدَ عَنَّا مَعَاصِيَنَا.

As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.

١٣ 13 مِثْلَمَا يَعْطِفُ الأَبُ عَلَى بَنِيهِ يَعْطِفُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى أَتْقِيَائِهِ.

As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.

١٤ 14 لأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ ضَعْفَنَا وَيَذْكُرُ أَنَّنَا جُبِلْنَا مِنْ تُرَابٍ.

For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.

١٥ 15 أَيَّامُ الإِنْسَانِ مِثْلُ الْعُشْبِ وَزَهْرِ الْحَقْلِ،

[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.

١٦ 16 تَهُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الرِّيحُ فَيَفْنَى، وَلَا يَعُودُ مَوْضِعُهُ يَتَذَكَّرُهُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.

١٧ 17 أَمَّا رَحْمَةُ الرَّبِّ فَهِيَ مِنَ الأَزَلِ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى مُتَّقِيهِ، وَعَدْلُهُ يَمْتَدُّ إِلَى بَنِي الْبَنِينَ،

But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

١٨ 18 لِلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ عَهْدَهُ وَالَّذِينَ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ وَصَايَاهُ وَيُمَارِسُونَهَا.

to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.

١٩ 19 الرَّبُّ ثَبَّتَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ عَرْشَهُ، وَمَمْلَكَتُهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْبَشَرِ تَسُودُ.

The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.

٢٠ 20 بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ يَا مَلائِكَتَهُ الْمُقْتَدِرِينَ قُوَّةً، الْفَاعِلِينَ أَمْرَهُ فَوْرَ صُدُورِ كَلِمَتِهِ.

Bless the Lord, all you his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.

٢١ 21 بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ جُنُودِهِ، يَا خُدَّامَهُ الْعَامِلِينَ رِضَاهُ.

Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.

٢٢ 22 بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ يَا كُلَّ خَلِيقَتِهِ، فِي كُلِّ مَوَاضِعِ سُلْطَانِهِ. بَارِكِي يَا نَفْسِي الرَّبَّ.

Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
