المَزامِير 139

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمنُشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ فَحَصْتَنِي وَعَرَفْتَنِي.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known [me].

٢ 2 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ قُعُودِي وَقِيَامِي. فَهِمْتَ فِكْرِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off;

٣ 3 أَنْتَ تَقَصَّيْتَ مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْقَدِي، وَتَعْرِفُ كُلَّ طُرُقِي.

Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways;

٤ 4 عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ كَلِمَةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَفَوَّهَ بِها لِسَانِي.

For there is not yet a word on my tongue, [but] lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.

٥ 5 لَقَدْ طَوَّقْتَنِي (بِعِلْمِكَ) مِنْ خَلْفٍ وَمِنْ أَمَامٍ وَبَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ فَوْقِي.

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thy hand upon me.

٦ 6 مَا أَعْجَبَ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ الْفَائِقَ، إِنَّهُ أَسْمَى مِنْ أَنْ أُدْرِكَهُ.

O knowledge too wonderful for me! it is high, I cannot [attain] unto it.

٧ 7 أَيْنَ الْمَهْرَبُ مِنْ رُوحِكَ؟ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ؟

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither flee from thy presence?

٨ 8 إِنْ صَعِدْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَأَنْتَ هُنَاكَ، وَإِنْ جَعَلْتُ فِرَاشِي فِي عَالَمِ الأَمْوَاتِ فَهُنَاكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً. (Sheol h7585)

If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou [art there]; (Sheol h7585)

٩ 9 إِنِ اسْتَعَرْتُ أَجْنِحَةَ الْفَجْرِ وَطِرْتُ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي أَقْصَى أَطْرَافِ الْبَحْرِ

[If] I take the wings of the dawn [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

١٠ 10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً يَدُكَ تَهْدِينِي وَيُمْنَاكَ تُمْسِكُنِي.

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

١١ 11 إِنْ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: «رُبَّمَا الظُّلْمَةُ تَحْجُبُنِي وَالضَّوْءُ حَوْلِي يَصِيرُ لَيْلاً»،

And if I say, Surely darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night;

١٢ 12 فَحَتَّى الظُّلْمَةُ لَا تُخْفِي عَنْكَ شَيْئاً، وَاللَّيْلُ كَالنَّهَارِ يُضِيءُ، فَسِيَّانَ عِنْدَكَ الظَّلامُ وَالضَّوْءُ.

Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.

١٣ 13 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ قَدْ كَوَّنْتَ كُلْيَتَيَّ. نَسَجْتَنِي دَاخِلَ بَطْنِ أُمِّي.

For thou hast possessed my reins; thou didst cover me in my mother's womb.

١٤ 14 أَحْمَدُكَ لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَنِي بِإِعْجَازِكَ الْمُدْهِشِ. مَا أَعْجَبَ أَعْمَالَكَ وَنَفْسِي تَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ يَقِيناً.

I will praise thee, for I am fearfully, wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.

١٥ 15 لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيْكَ كِيَانِي عِنْدَمَا كُوِّنْتُ فِي السِّرِّ، وَجُبِلْتُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ.

My bones were not hidden from thee when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lower parts of the earth.

١٦ 16 رَأَتْنِي عَيْنَاكَ وَأَنَا مَازِلْتُ جَنِيناً؛ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تُخْلَقَ أَعْضَائِي كُتِبَتْ فِي سِفْرِكَ يَوْمَ تَصَوَّرْتَهَا.

Thine eyes did see my unformed substance, and in thy book all [my members] were written; [during many] days were they fashioned, when [as yet] there was none of them.

١٧ 17 مَا أَثْمَنَ أَفْكَارَكَ يَا اللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَعْظَمَ جُمْلَتَهَا!

But how precious are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

١٨ 18 إِنْ أَحْصَيْتُهَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الرَّمْلِ عَدَداً. عِنْدَمَا أَسْتَيْقِظُ أَجِدُنِي مَازِلْتُ مَعَكَ.

[If] I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.

١٩ 19 لَيْتَكَ يَا اللهُ تَقْتُلُ الأَشْرَارَ، فَيَبْتَعِدَ عَنِّي سَافِكُو الدِّمَاءِ.

Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God! And ye men of blood, depart from me.

٢٠ 20 فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْكَ بِالْمَكْرِ وَالْكَذِبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

For they speak of thee wickedly, they take [thy name] in vain, thine enemies.

٢١ 21 يَا رَبُّ أَلَا أُبْغِضُ مُبْغِضِيكَ، وَأَكْرَهُ الثَّائِرِينَ عَلَيْكَ؟

Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? and do not I loathe them that rise up against thee?

٢٢ 22 بُغْضاً تَامّاً أُبْغِضُهُمْ، وَأَحْسِبُهُمْ أَعْدَاءَ لِي.

I hate them with perfect hatred; I account them mine enemies.

٢٣ 23 تَفَحَّصْنِي يَا اللهُ وَاعْرِفْ قَلْبِي. امْتَحِنِّي وَاعْرِفْ أَفْكَارِي.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; prove me, and know my thoughts;

٢٤ 24 وَانْظُرْ إنْ كَانَ فِيَّ طَرِيقُ سُوءٍ، وَاهْدِنِي الطَّرِيقَ الأَبَدِيَّ.

And see if there be any grievous way in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
