طُوبَى لِلسَّالِكِينَ فِي طَرِيقِ الكَمَالِ، طَرِيقِ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
[Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,
طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَهُ بِكُلِّ الْقَلْبِ، | ٢ 2 |
O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
وَلَا يَرْتَكِبُونَ إِثْماً، إِنَّمَا فِي طُرُقِهِ يَسِيرُونَ. | ٣ 3 |
Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
أَنْتَ أَوْصَيْتَ بِحِفْظِ وَصَايَاكَ وَالعَمَلِ بِها كُلِّهَا. | ٤ 4 |

لَيْتَكَ تُوَجِّهُ طُرُقِي لِمُمَارَسَةِ فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٥ 5 |
O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
عِنْدَئِذٍ لَا أَخْزَى إِذَا تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي جَمِيعِ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦ 6 |
Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.

Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
بِمَاذَا يُزَكِّي الشَّابُّ مَسْلَكَهُ؟ بِطَاعَتِهِ لِكَلِمَتِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
[Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe — according to Thy word.

With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
خَبَأْتُ كَلامَكَ فِي قَلْبِي، لِئَلّا أُخْطِئَ إِلَيْكَ. | ١١ 11 |
In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢ 12 |

With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
بِطَرِيقِ شَهَادَاتِكَ قَدْ سُرِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سُرُورِ الْحَائِزِ عَلَى كُلِّ غِنىً. | ١٤ 14 |

[Gimel.] Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.

غَرِيبٌ أَنَا فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَا تَحْجُبْ عَنِّي وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٩ 19 |
A sojourner I [am] on earth, Hide not from me Thy commands.

Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.
أَنْتَ تَزْجُرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ الْمَلْعُونِينَ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
انْتَزِعْ عَارِي وَهَوَانِي، لأَنَّنِي أُرَاعِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
جَلَسَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَتَآمَرُوا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا أَنَا، عَبدَكَ، فَبَقِيتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Princes also sat — against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,
وَصَايَاكَ الشَّاهِدَةُ أَيْضاً هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي، وَأَنَا أَسْتَشِيرُهَا دَائِماً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
(أَنَا يَائِسٌ) أَرْقُدُ مُلْتَصِقاً بالتُّرَابِ، فَأَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
[Daleth.] Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.

This [is] my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.
جَاوَزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الْحَدَّ فِي السُّخْرِيَةِ بِي، لَكِنْ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ 51 |
The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.
تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ 52 |
I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.
تَوَلّانِي الْغَيْظُ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٣ 53 |
Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.

Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.

I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy testimonies.

I have made haste, And delayed not, to keep Thy commands.
قَامَ الأَشْرَارُ بِالإِيقَاعِ بِي، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٦١ 61 |
Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.
أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ لأَحْمَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ٦٢ 62 |
At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.
رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ، وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ 63 |
A companion I [am] to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.

Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy statutes teach Thou me!
صَنَعْتَ خَيْراً يَا رَبُّ مَعِي أَنَا عَبْدَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتَ. | ٦٥ 65 |
[Teth.] Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word.

The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.
ضَلَلْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَدَّبْتَنِي، أَمَّا الآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
Before I am afflicted, I — I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept.
أَنْتَ صَالِحٌ وَمُحْسِنٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ 68 |
Good Thou [art], and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes.
لَفَّقَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَالاً كَاذِبَةً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ 69 |
Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.
غَلُظَ قَلْبُهُمْ وَتَقَسَّى، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَمَتَّعُ بِشَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I — in Thy law I have delighted.
كَانَ مَا ذُقْتُ مِنْ هَوَانٍ لِخَيْرِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ 71 |
Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.
شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَهَبِ الْعَالَمِ وَفِضَّتِهِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
Better to me [is] the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!
يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَكَوَّنَتَانِي، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ 73 |
[Yod.] Thy hands made me and establish me, Cause me to understand, and I learn Thy commands.

Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.
قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَادِلَةٌ، وَأَنَّكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَدَّبْتَنِي. | ٧٥ 75 |
I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous [are] Thy judgments, And [in] faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.
فَلْتَكُنْ رَحْمَتُكَ تَعْزِيَةً لِي، بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ 76 |
Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.
لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ مُتْعَتِي. | ٧٧ 77 |
Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law [is] my delight.
لِيَخْزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لأَنَّهُمُ افْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ زُوراً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ 78 |
Ashamed are the proud, For [with] falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts.
لِيَنْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ 79 |
Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy testimonies.
لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي مُتَعَلِّقاً بِكَامِلِ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ 80 |
My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.
تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلاصِكَ. رَجَائِي هُوَ كَلِمَتُكَ. | ٨١ 81 |
[Kaph.] Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي انْتِظَارِ كَلامِكَ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟ | ٨٢ 82 |
Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, 'When doth it comfort me?'
أَصْبَحْتُ كَقِرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ أَتْلَفَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ وَالدُّخَانُ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٨٣ 83 |
For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.
كَمْ هِي أَيَّامُ عُمْرِ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُنْزِلُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي؟ | ٨٤ 84 |
How many [are] the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou execute Against my pursuers judgment?
الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْصَوْنَ شَرِيعَتَكَ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفَراً. | ٨٥ 85 |
The proud have digged for me pits, That [are] not according to Thy law.
وَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا صَادِقَةٌ. زُوراً يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي فَأَغِثْنِي. | ٨٦ 86 |
All Thy commands [are] faithfulness, [With] falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.
لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَرِيعَتَكْ. | ٨٧ 87 |
Almost consumed me on earth have they, And I — I have not forsaken Thy precepts.
أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأُطِيعَ شَرَائِعَكَ. | ٨٨ 88 |
According to Thy kindness quicken Thou me, And I keep the testimony of Thy mouth!
يَا رَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ تَدُومُ ثَابِتَةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٨٩ 89 |
[Lamed.] To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.
مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. | ٩٠ 90 |
To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth.
بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ تَثْبُتُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْكُلَّ خُدَّامٌ لَكَ. | ٩١ 91 |
According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole [are] Thy servants.
لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ مُتْعَتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ فِي مَذَلَّتِي، | ٩٢ 92 |
Unless Thy law [were] my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.
لَنْ أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ أَبَداً، لأَنَّكَ بِها وَهَبْتَنِي الْحَيَاةَ. | ٩٣ 93 |
To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou hast quickened me.
أَنَا لَكَ، فَخَلِّصْنِي، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ 94 |
I [am] Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.
تَرَبَّصَ بِيَ الأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي، لَكِنِّي أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٩٥ 95 |
Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me, Thy testimonies I understand.
رَأَيْتُ لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ حَدّاً، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَلَا حَدَّ لَهَا. | ٩٦ 96 |
Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad [is] Thy command — exceedingly!
كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ، إِنَّهَا مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٩٧ 97 |
[Mem.] O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it [is] my (meditation)
وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لأَنَّهَا نَصِيبِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٩٨ 98 |
Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it [is] before me to the age.
صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فَهْماً مِنْ مُعَلِّمِيَّ، لأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي. | ٩٩ 99 |
Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies [are] my (meditation)
صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فِطْنَةً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ، لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ 100 |
Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.
مَنَعْتُ قَدَمَيَّ عَنْ سُلُوكِ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلامَكَ. | ١٠١ 101 |
From every evil path I restrained my feet, So that I keep Thy word.
لَمْ أَبْتَعِدْ عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لأَنَّكَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ 102 |
From Thy judgments I turned not aside, For Thou — Thou hast directed me.
مَا أَحْلَى أَقْوَالَكَ لِمَذَاقِي. إِنَّهَا أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي. | ١٠٣ 103 |
How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.
مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ اكْتَسَبْتُ فِطْنَةً لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٠٤ 104 |
From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!
سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ 105 |
[Nun.] A lamp to my foot [is] Thy word, And a light to my path.

I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me, according to Thy word.
تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ 108 |
Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me.
نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٠٩ 109 |
My soul [is] in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.
نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ 110 |
The wicked have laid a snare for me, And from thy precepts I wandered not.
اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ 111 |
I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy of my heart [are] they.
لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ. | ١١٢ 112 |
I have inclined my heart To do Thy statutes, to the age — [to] the end!
أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ 113 |
[Samech.] Doubting ones I have hated, And Thy law I have loved.
أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١١٤ 114 |
My hiding place and my shield [art] Thou, For Thy word I have hoped.
ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ 115 |
Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the commands of my God.
كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ 116 |
Sustain me according to Thy saying, And I live, and Thou puttest me not to shame Because of my hope.

Support Thou me, and I am saved, And I look on Thy statutes continually.
احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ 118 |
Thou hast trodden down All going astray from Thy statutes, For falsehood [is] their deceit.
رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ 119 |
Dross! Thou hast caused to cease All the wicked of the earth; Therefore I have loved Thy testimonies.

Trembled from Thy fear hath my flesh, And from Thy judgments I have been afraid!
أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ 121 |
[Ain.] I have done judgment and righteousness, Leave me not to mine oppressors.
كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ 122 |
Make sure Thy servant for good, Let not the proud oppress me.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ 123 |
Mine eyes have been consumed for Thy salvation. And for the saying of Thy righteousness.

Thy servant [am] I — cause me to understand, And I know Thy testimonies.
يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ 126 |
Time for Jehovah to work! they have made void Thy law.
لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ 127 |
Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold — even fine gold.
وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ 128 |
Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!

[Pe.] Wonderful [are] Thy testimonies, Therefore hath my soul kept them.

Look unto me, and favour me, As customary to those loving Thy name.

Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and exceeding faithful,
أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ 139 |
Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.
أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ 140 |
Tried [is] thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.

Near [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands [are] truth.
مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ 152 |
