المَزامِير 103

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

[By David.] Praise YHWH, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.

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

Praise YHWH, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;

٣ 3 إِنَّهُ يَغْفِرُ جَمِيعَ آثَامِكِ وَيُبْرِئُ كُلَّ أَمْرَاضِكِ.

who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases;

٤ 4 وَيَفْدِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ حَيَاتَكِ وَيُتَوِّجُكِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَالرَّأْفَةِ.

who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;

٥ 5 وَيُشْبِعُ بِالْخَيْرِ عُمْرَكِ فَيَتَجَدَّدُ كَالنَّسْرِ شَبَابُكِ.

who satisfies your desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

٦ 6 الرَّبُّ يَحْكُمُ بِالعَدْلِ وَيُنْصِفُ جَمِيعَ الْمَظْلُومِينَ.

YHWH executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

٧ 7 أَطْلَعَ مُوسَى عَلَى طُرُقِهِ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى أَفْعَالِهِ.

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

٨ 8 الرَّبُّ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، بَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ وَوَافِرُ الرَّحْمَةِ.

YHWH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

٩ 9 لَا يَسْخَطُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ وَلَا يَحْقِدُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ.

He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

١٠ 10 لَمْ يُعَامِلْنَا حَسَبَ خَطَايَانَا وَلَمْ يُجَازِنَا حَسَبَ آثَامِنَا.

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

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

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who 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.

Like a father has compassion on his children, so YHWH has compassion on those who fear him.

١٤ 14 لأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ ضَعْفَنَا وَيَذْكُرُ أَنَّنَا جُبِلْنَا مِنْ تُرَابٍ.

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

١٥ 15 أَيَّامُ الإِنْسَانِ مِثْلُ الْعُشْبِ وَزَهْرِ الْحَقْلِ،

As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

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

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.

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

But YHWH's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;

١٨ 18 لِلَّذِينَ يُرَاعُونَ عَهْدَهُ وَالَّذِينَ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ وَصَايَاهُ وَيُمَارِسُونَهَا.

to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

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

YHWH has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

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

Praise YHWH, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.

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

Praise YHWH, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

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

Praise YHWH, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise YHWH, my soul.
