سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ، فَإِنَّ التَّرَنُّمَ لإِلَهِنَا طَيِّبٌ، وَتَسْبِيحُهُ مُلِذٌّ وَلائِقٌ. ١ 1
Praise Yah, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him.
يَبْنِي الرَّبُّ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَيَجْمَعُ شَمْلَ الْمَنْفِيِّينَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
Yahweh builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
إِنَّهُ يَشْفِي مُنْكَسِرِي الْقَلْبِ وَيُضَمِّدُ جِرَاحَهُمْ. ٣ 3
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
يُحْصِي عَدَدَ الْكَوَاكِبِ وَيَدْعُوهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَسْمَائِهَا. ٤ 4
He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.
عَظِيمٌ هُوَ سَيِّدُنَا، وَفَائِقَةٌ هِيَ قُوَّتُهُ، وَلَا حَدَّ لِحِكْمَتِهِ. ٥ 5
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.
يَرْفَعُ الرَّبُّ الْوُدَعَاءَ، وَيَطْرَحُ الأَشْرَارَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
Yahweh upholds the humble. He brings the wicked down to the ground.
رُدُّوا عَلَى الرَّبِّ بِحَمْدٍ، رَنِّمُوا لإِلَهِنَا عَلَى الْعُودِ. ٧ 7
Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving. Sing praises on the harp to our God,
فَهُوَ يَكْسُو السَّمَاوَاتِ سَحَاباً وَيُمْطِرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَيُنْبِتُ الْعُشْبَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ. ٨ 8
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.
يَهَبُ الطَّعَامَ لِلْبَهَائِمِ، وَلِفِرَاخِ الْغِرْبَانِ النَّاعِقَةِ. ٩ 9
He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
لَا تَسْتَهْوِيهِ قُوَّةُ الْخَيْلِ، وَلَا تَسُرُّهُ سَاقَا الْعَدَّاءِ. ١٠ 10
He doesn’t delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
إِنَّمَا يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ بِخَائِفِيهِ، الرَّاجِينَ رَحْمَتَهُ. ١١ 11
Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his loving kindness.
مَجِّدِي الرَّبَّ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَسَبِّحِي إِلَهَكِ يَا صِهْيَوْنُ. ١٢ 12
Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem! Praise your God, Zion!
فَإِنَّهُ ثَبَّتَ عَوَارِضَ أَبْوَابِكِ (فِي وَجْهِ الأَعْدَاءِ)، وَبَارَكَ بَنِيكِ فِي دَاخِلِكِ. ١٣ 13
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates. He has blessed your children within you.
هُوَ الَّذِي يَجْعَلُ حُدُودَكِ آمِنَةً، وَمِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْحِنْطَةِ يُشْبِعُكِ خُبْزاً. ١٤ 14
He makes peace in your borders. He fills you with the finest of the wheat.
يُصْدِرُ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتُنَفِّذُهُ بِسُرْعَةٍ فَائِقَةٍ. ١٥ 15
He sends out his commandment to the earth. His word runs very swiftly.
يَنْثُرُ الثَّلْجَ كَالصُّوفِ، وَيُذَرِّي الْجَلِيدَ كَالرَّمَادِ. ١٦ 16
He gives snow like wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
يُلْقِي بَرَدَهُ كَفُتَاتِ الْخُبْزِ. مَنْ يَصْمُدُ فِي وَجْهِ صَقِيعِهِ؟ ١٧ 17
He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?
ثُمَّ يُصْدِرُ أَمْرَهُ فَيُذِيبُهَا. يُرْسِلُ رِيحَهُ فَتَسِيلُ الْمِيَاهُ. ١٨ 18
He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
يُعْلِنُ لِيَعْقُوبَ كَلِمَتَهُ وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ فَرَائِضَهُ وَأَحْكَامَهُ. ١٩ 19
He shows his word to Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
لَمْ يُعَامِلْ أُمَّةً أُخْرَى هَكَذَا، وَلَمْ يُعَرِّفْهَا أَحْكَامَهُ هَلِّلُويَا. ٢٠ 20
He has not done this for just any nation. They don’t know his ordinances. Praise Yah!
