المَزامِير 19

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ السَّمَاوَاتُ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَجْدِ اللهِ، وَالْفَلَكُ يُخْبِرُ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

٢ 2 بِذَلِكَ تَتَحَادَثُ الأَيَّامُ أَبْلَغَ حَدِيثٍ، وَتَتَخَاطَبُ بِهِ اللَّيَالِي.

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

٣ 3 لَا يَصْدُرُ عَنْهَا كَلامٌ، لَكِنَّ صَوْتَهَا يُسمَعُ وَاضِحاً.

Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,

٤ 4 انْطَلَقَ صَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا وَكَلامُهُمْ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الْعَالَمِ. جَعَلَ لِلشَّمْسِ مَسْكَناً فِيهَا،

their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

٥ 5 وَهِيَ مِثْلُ الْعَرِيسِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ مُخْدَعِهِ، كَالْعَدَّاءِ الْمُبْتَهِجِ لِلسِّبَاقِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.

Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,

٦ 6 تَنْطَلِقُ مِنْ أَقْصَى السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَتَدُورُ إِلَى أَقَاصِيهَا، وَلَا شَيْءَ يَحْتَجِبُ مِنْ حَرِّهَا.

it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

٧ 7 شَرِيعَةُ الرَّبِّ كَامِلَةٌ تُنْعِشُ النَّفْسَ. شَهَادَةُ الرَّبِّ صَادِقَةٌ تَجْعَلُ الْجَاهِلَ حَكِيماً.

The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

٨ 8 وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ تُفَرِّحُ الْقَلْبَ. أَمْرُ الرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ يُنِيرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ.

The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

٩ 9 مَخَافَةُ الرَّبِّ طَاهِرَةٌ ثَابِتَةٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأَحْكَامُ الرَّبِّ حَقٌّ وَعَادِلَةٌ كُلُّهَا.

The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.

١٠ 10 إِنَّهَا أَشْهَى مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ، وَهِيَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ بَلِ الْقَطْرِ السَّائِلِ مِنْ أَقْرَاصِ الشَّهْدِ.

They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

١١ 11 عَبْدُكَ يَهْتَدِي بِها، وَفِي صَوْنِهَا ثَوَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

١٢ 12 مَنْ يَتَنَبَّهُ إِلَى سَهَوَاتِهِ؟ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا الْخَفِيَّةِ خَلِّصْنِي،

Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.

١٣ 13 وَمِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ أَيْضاً احْفَظْ عَبْدَكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْهَا تَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. عِنْدَئِذٍ أَكُونُ كَامِلاً وَأَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ عَظِيمٍ.

Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.

١٤ 14 لِتَكُنْ أَقْوَالُ فَمِي وَخَوَاطِرُ قَلْبِي مَقْبُولَةً لَدَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ، يَا صَخْرَتِي وَفَادِيَّ.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
