المَزامِير 111

١ 1 هَلِّلُويَا! أَشْكُرُ الرَّبَّ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي فِي مَحْفَلِ أَتْقِيَاءِ الشَّعْبِ.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

٢ 2 مَا أَعْظَمَ أَعْمَالَ الرَّبِّ! يَتَأَمَّلُهَا جَمِيعُ الْمَسْرُورِينَ بِها.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

٣ 3 صَنِيعُهُ جَلالٌ وَبَهَاءٌ، وَعَدْلُهُ ثَابِتٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

٤ 4 جَعَلَ لِعَجَائِبِهِ ذِكْراً، فَالرَّبُّ حَنَّانٌ وَرَحِيمٌ.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

٥ 5 أَعْطَى مُتَّقِيهِ طَعَاماً، لأَنَّهُ لَا يَنْسَى عَهْدَهُ أَبَداً.

He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

٦ 6 أَظْهَرَ قُوَّتَهُ لِشَعْبِهِ حِينَ أَوْرَثَهُمْ أَرْضَ الأُمَمِ.

He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

٧ 7 أَعْمَالُ يَدَيْهِ حَقٌّ وَعَدْلٌ. وَكُلُّ وَصَايَاهُ أَمِينَةٌ.

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

٨ 8 رَاسِخَةٌ أَبَدَ الدَّهْرِ، مَصْنُوعَةٌ بِالْحَقِّ وَالاسْتِقَامَةِ.

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

٩ 9 افْتَدَى شَعْبَهُ وَكَرَّسَ عَهْدَهُ مَعَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، قَدُّوسٌ وَمَهُوبٌ اسْمُهُ.

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

١٠ 10 رَأْسُ الْحِكْمَةِ مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ. وَالعَامِلُ بِها ذُو فِطْنَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ. تَسْبِيحُ الرَّبِّ دَائِمٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
