المَزامِير 14

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ قَالَ الْجَاهِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: لَا يُوجَدُ إِلَهٌ! قَدْ فَسَدَ الْبَشَرُ وَارْتَكَبُوا الْمُوبِقَاتِ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ.

To the Overseer. — By David. A fool hath said in his heart, 'God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

٢ 2 أَشْرَفَ الرَّبُّ عَلَى بَنِي آدَمَ لِيَرَى هَلْ هُنَاكَ أَيُّ فَاهِمٍ يَطْلُبُ اللهَ؟

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one — seeking God.

٣ 3 فَإِذَا الْجَمِيعُ قَدْ ضَلُّوا عَلَى السَّوَاءِ. كُلُّهُمْ فَسَدُوا، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ الصَّلاحَ، وَلَا وَاحِدٌ.

The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

٤ 4 أَلَيْسَ لَدَى جَمِيعِ فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ مَعْرِفَةٌ؟ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ شَعْبِي كَمَا يَأْكُلُونَ خُبْزاً، وَلَا يَطْلُبُونَ الرَّبَّ.

Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

٥ 5 هُنَاكَ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ خَوْفٌ عَظِيمٌ، لأَنَّ اللهَ فِي جَمَاعَةِ الأَبْرَارِ.

There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

٦ 6 تُسَفِّهُونَ رَأْيَ الْمِسْكِينِ، لأَنَّهُ جَعَلَ اللهَ مَلْجَأَهُ.

The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah [is] his refuge.

٧ 7 لَيْتَ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ خَلاصَ إِسْرَائِيلَ. عِنْدَمَا يَرُدُّ الرَّبُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِهِ، يَبْتَهِجُ يَعْقُوبُ، وَيَفْرَحُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ.

'Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice — Israel is glad!
