المَزامِير 21

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ مِنْ نَظْمِ دَاوُدَ رَبُّ بِقُوَّتِكَ يَفْرَحُ الْمَلِكُ، وَمَا أَعْظَمَ بَهْجَتَهُ بِخَلاصِكَ!

For the leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!

٢ 2 لَقَدْ وَهَبْتَهُ بُغْيَةَ قَلْبِهِ وَلَمْ تَحْرِمْهُ مِنْ طِلْبَةِ شَفَتَيْهِ.

You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)

٣ 3 بَادَرْتَهُ بِبَرَكَاتِ الْخَيْرِ، وَوَضَعْتَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجاً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ النَّقِيِّ!

You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.

٤ 4 طَلَبَ مِنْكَ الْحَيَاةَ فَوَهَبْتَهَا لَهُ، إِذْ أَطَلْتَ عُمْرَهُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الدُّهُورِ.

He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.

٥ 5 عَظِيمٌ مَجْدُهُ بِفَضْلِ خَلاصِكَ، بِالْعِزَّةِ وَالْبَهَاءِ كَلَّلْتَهُ.

Great is his glory because of your help, honor and majesty you lay upon him.

٦ 6 لأَنَّكَ جَعَلْتَهُ أَكْثَرَ الْمُبَارَكِينَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. تَغْمُرُهُ بِفَيْضِ الْفَرَحِ فِي حَضْرَتِكَ.

For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

٧ 7 لأَنَّ الْمَلِكَ يَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَبِنِعْمَةِ الْعَلِيِّ لَا يَتَزَعْزَعُ.

For the king puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.

٨ 8 يَدُكَ حَتْماً تَنَالُ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِكَ، وَيُمْنَاكَ حَقّاً تَظْفَرُ بِمُبْغِضِيكَ.

Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who hate you.

٩ 9 حِينَ يَتَجَلَّى وَجْهُكَ تُحْرِقُهُمْ كَمَا بِمَوْقِدٍ مُشْتَعِلٍ. تَلْتَهِمُهُمْ فِي غَضَبِكَ فَتَأْكُلُهُمُ النَّارُ.

You will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will devour them.

١٠ 10 تُبِيدُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَنَسْلَهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي آدَمَ.

You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.

١١ 11 لَقَدْ تَآمَرُوا لِلإِسَاءَةِ إِلَيْكَ، وَدَبَّرُوا مَكِيدَةً شِرِّيرَةً لَمْ يُفْلِحُوا فِيهَا.

When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.

١٢ 12 لأَنَّكَ تَجْعَلُهُمْ يُدْبِرُونَ لِلْهَرَبِ، عِنْدَمَا تَشُدُّ وَتَرَ الْقَوْسِ نَحْوَ وُجُوهِهِمْ.

For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.

١٣ 13 ارْتَفِعْ يَا رَبُّ بِقُوَّتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ وَنَتَغَنَّى بِقُدْرَتِكَ.

Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.
