المَزامِير 139

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] LORD, you have searched me, and you know me.

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

You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

٣ 3 أَنْتَ تَقَصَّيْتَ مَسْلَكِي وَمَرْقَدِي، وَتَعْرِفُ كُلَّ طُرُقِي.

You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

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

For there is not a word on my tongue, but, look, LORD, you know it altogether.

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

You encircle me behind and in front, and you place your hand upon me.

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

This knowledge is beyond me. It's lofty. I can't attain it.

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

Where could I go from your Ruach? Or where could I flee from your 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 heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, look, you are there. (Sheol h7585)

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

If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;

١٠ 10 فَهُنَاكَ أَيْضاً يَدُكَ تَهْدِينِي وَيُمْنَاكَ تُمْسِكُنِي.

Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.

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

If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night;"

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

even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

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

For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.

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

I will give thanks to you, for I am awesomely and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and my soul knows that very well.

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

My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

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

Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

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

How precious to me are your thoughts, God. How vast 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 wake up, I am still with you.

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

If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men.

٢٠ 20 فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْكَ بِالْمَكْرِ وَالْكَذِبِ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكَ.

For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.

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

LORD, do I not hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

٢٢ 22 بُغْضاً تَامّاً أُبْغِضُهُمْ، وَأَحْسِبُهُمْ أَعْدَاءَ لِي.

I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

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

Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

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

See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
