المَزامِير 31

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ يَا رَبُّ، إِلَيْكَ الْتَجَأْتُ فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَخِيبُ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ. بِعَدْلِكَ نَجِّنِي.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Let me never be put to shame: Deliver me in thy righteousness.

٢ 2 أَدِرْ أُذُنَكَ نَحْوِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي سَرِيعاً. كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةً تَحْمِينِي وَمَعْقِلاً حَصِيناً يُخَلِّصُنِي،

Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.

٣ 3 إِذْ إِنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَقَلْعَتِي. وَمِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِكَ تَقُودُنِي وَتَهْدِينِي.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me.

٤ 4 أَطْلِقْنِي مِنَ الشَّبَكَةِ الَّتِي أَخْفَاهَا الأَشْرَارُ لِي، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَلْجَأِي.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold.

٥ 5 فِي يَدِكَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ رُوحِي. فَدَيْتَنِي أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ.

Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.

٦ 6 لَقَدْ أَبْغَضْتُ الْمُتَعَبِّدِينَ لِلأَصْنَامِ الْبَاطِلَةِ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَعَلَى الرَّبِّ تَوَكَّلْتُ.

I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.

٧ 7 أَفْرَحُ وَأَبْتَهِجُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ لأَنَّكَ قَدْ نَظَرْتَ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي، وَعَرَفْتَ أَلَمَ نَفْسِي الْمُبَرِّحَ.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;

٨ 8 لَمْ تُسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى قَبْضَةِ الْعَدُوِّ بَلْ أَوْقَفْتَنِي فِي أَرْضٍ فَسِيحَةٍ.

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

٩ 9 ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ فَأَنَا فِي ضِيقٍ: كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ غَمّاً، وَاعْتَلَّتْ نَفْسِي وَدَخِيلَتِي أَيْضاً.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, [yea], my soul and my body.

١٠ 10 لأَنَّ حَيَاتِي قَدْ فَنِيَتْ بِالْحُزْنِ وَسِنِي حَيَاتِي بِالتَّنَهُّدِ. خَارَتْ قُوَايَ مِنْ قَصَاصِ إِثْمِي.

For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

١١ 11 صِرْتُ مُحْتَقَراً مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِي وَمَصْدَرَ رُعْبٍ لِجِيرَانِي. الَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَنِي فِي الشَّارِعِ يَتَهَرَّبُونَ مِنِّي.

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

١٢ 12 صِرْتُ مَنْسِيًّا كَمَا لَوْ كُنْتُ مَيْتاً، وَأَصْبَحْتُ كَإِنَاءٍ مُحَطَّمٍ،

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

١٣ 13 لأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ الْمَذَمَّةَ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ، حَتَّى بَاتَ الْخَوْفُ يُطَوِّقُنِي، إذْ يَتَآمَرُونَ جَمِيعاً عَلَيَّ، عَازِمِينَ عَلَى قَتْلِي.

For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

١٤ 14 غَيْرَ أَنِّي يَا رَبُّ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَقُلْتُ: أَنْتَ إِلَهِي،

But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.

١٥ 15 آجَالِي فِي يَدِكَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ يَدِ أَعْدَائِي وَمِنْ مُطَارِدِيَّ.

My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

١٦ 16 لِيُشْرِقْ وَجْهُكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.

١٧ 17 لَا تَدَعْنِي يَا رَبُّ أَخْزَى، فَإِنِّي دَعَوْتُكَ. لِيَخْزَ الأَشْرَارُ وَلْيَنْزِلُوا إِلَى هُوَّةِ الْمَوْتِ وَيَسْكُتُوا إِلَى الأَبَدِ. (Sheol h7585)

Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

١٨ 18 لِتَخْرَسِ الشِّفَاهُ الْكَاذِبَةُ، النَّاطِقَةُ بِكِبْرِيَاءَ وَازْدِرَاءٍ وَوَقَاحَةٍ عَلَى الصِّدِّيقِ.

Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.

١٩ 19 يَا رَبُّ، مَا أَعْظَمَ صَلاحَكَ الَّذِي ذَخَرْتَهُ لِخَائِفِيكَ، وَأَظْهَرْتَهُ لِلْوَاثِقِينَ بِكَ عَلَى مَرْأَى جَمِيعِ الْبَشَرِ،

Oh how great is thy goodness, Which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, Which thou hast wrought for them that take refuge in thee, Before the sons of men!

٢٠ 20 فَإِنَّكَ تَصُونُهُمْ فِي خِبَاءِ حَضْرَتِكَ، فِي مَأْمَنٍ مِنْ مُؤَامَرَاتِ النَّاسِ. فِي خَيْمَةٍ وَاقِيَةٍ تَحْرُسُهُمْ مِنْ لَدْغَاتِ أَلْسُنِ خُصُومِهِمْ.

In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

٢١ 21 مُبَارَكٌ الرَّبُّ لأَنَّهُ أَحَاطَنِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ الْعَجِيبَةِ وَكَأَنِّي فِي مَدِينَةٍ مُحَصَّنَةٍ.

Blessed be Jehovah; For he hath showed me his marvellous lovingkindness in a strong city.

٢٢ 22 تَسَرَّعْتُ فِي رُعْبِي وَقُلْتُ: «قَدْ تَخَلَّى الرَّبُّ عَنِّي» وَلَكِنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ صَوْتَ تَضَرُّعِي عِنْدَمَا اسْتَغَثْتُ بِكَ.

As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications, When I cried unto thee.

٢٣ 23 أَحِبُّوا الرَّبَّ يَا جَمِيعَ أَتْقِيَائِهِ، فَإِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَحْفَظُ الأُمَنَاءَ، وَيُجَازِي بِعَدْلِهِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ أَشَدَّ الْجَزَاءِ.

Oh love Jehovah, all ye his saints: Jehovah preserveth the faithful, And plentifully rewardeth him that dealeth proudly.

٢٤ 24 لِتَتَقَوَّ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ الرَّبَّ.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that hope in Jehovah.
