المَزامِير 21

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

To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.

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

The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. (Selah)

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

For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.

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

Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him — length of days, Age-during — and for ever.

٥ 5 عَظِيمٌ مَجْدُهُ بِفَضْلِ خَلاصِكَ، بِالْعِزَّةِ وَالْبَهَاءِ كَلَّلْتَهُ.

Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.

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

For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

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

For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.

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

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

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

Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.

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

Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,

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

For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

١٣ 13 ارْتَفِعْ يَا رَبُّ بِقُوَّتِكَ، فَنَتَرَنَّمَ وَنَتَغَنَّى بِقُدْرَتِكَ.

Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
