المَزامِير 28

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَصْرُخُ، فَلَا تَتَصَامَمْ عَنِّي يَا صَخْرَتِي، لِئَلّا أَكُونَ، إِذَا سَكَتَّ عَنِّي، مِثْلَ الْمُنْحَدِرِينَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ.

[A Psalm] of David. To you, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest you be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.

٢ 2 اسْتَمِعْ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي عِنْدَمَا أَسْتَغِيثُ بِكَ، رَافِعاً يَدَيَّ نَحْوَ مِحْرَابِ قَدَاسَتِكَ.

Listen to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.

٣ 3 لَا تَطْرَحْنِي مَعَ الأَشْرَارِ وَفَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ، الَّذِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْوُدَّ لأَصْحَابِهِمْ، وَهُمْ يَكُنُّونَ لَهُمُ الشَّرَّ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ.

Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but evils are in their hearts.

٤ 4 جَازِهِمْ وَفْقاً لِفِعْلِهِمْ وَشَرِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. أَعْطِهِمْ مَا يَسْتَحِقُّ صَنِيعُ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ جَزَاءَهُمْ.

Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense to them.

٥ 5 وَلأَنَّهُمْ لَا يُبَالُونَ بِأَفْعَالِ الرَّبِّ وَلَا بِصَنِيعِ يَدَيْهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُدَمِّرُهُمْ وَلَا يُعِيدُ بِنَاءَهُمْ.

Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, you shall pull them down, and shall not build them up.

٦ 6 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ فَقَدْ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي.

Blessed be the Lord, for he has listened to the voice of my petition.

٧ 7 الرَّبُّ قُوَّتِي وَتُرْسِي. عَلَيْهِ اتَّكَلَ قَلْبِي، فَنِلْتُ الْغَوْثَ. لِذَلِكَ يَبْتَهِجُ قَلْبِي وَأَحْمَدُهُ بِنَشِيدِي.

The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.

٨ 8 الرَّبُّ قُوَّةُ شَعْبِهِ، وَهُوَ حِصْنُ خَلاصِ مَسِيحِهِ.

The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.

٩ 9 خَلِّصْ يَا رَبُّ شَعْبَكَ وَبَارِكْ مِيرَاثَكَ. كُنْ رَاعِياً لَهُمْ وَاحْمِلْهُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Save your people, and bless your inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
