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 by David.] In you, Jehovah, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

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

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

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

For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your 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 secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

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

Into your hands I commit my spirit. You redeem me, Jehovah, God of truth.

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

I hate those who 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 your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

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

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

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

Have mercy on me, Jehovah, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

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

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones waste away.

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

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

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

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

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

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

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

But I trust in you, Jehovah. I said, "You are my God."

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

My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

١٦ 16 لِيُشْرِقْ وَجْهُكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

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

Let me not be disappointed, Jehovah, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

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

Let the lying lips be mute, 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 your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the descendants of Adam.

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

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

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

Praise be to Jehovah, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a besieged 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 your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

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

Oh love Jehovah, all you his faithful ones. Jehovah preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

٢٤ 24 لِتَتَقَوَّ وَلْتَتَشَجَّعْ قُلُوبُكُمْ يَا جَمِيعَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ الرَّبَّ.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Jehovah.
