المَزامِير 33

١ 1 سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ أَيُّهَا الأَبْرَارُ، فَإِنَّ الْحَمْدَ يَلِيقُ بِالْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ.

Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.

٢ 2 اشْكُرُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى الْعُودِ، رَنِّمُوا لَهُ بِرَبَابَةٍ ذَاتِ عَشَرَةِ أَوْتَارٍ.

Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.

٣ 3 اعْزِفُوا أَمْهَرَ عَزْفٍ مَعَ الْهُتَافِ، رَنِّمُوا لَهُ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً.

Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.

٤ 4 فَإِنَّ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ وَهُوَ يَصْنَعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِالأَمَانَةِ.

For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.

٥ 5 يُحِبُّ الْبِرَّ وَالْعَدْلَ. وَرَحْمَتُهُ تَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ.

His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

٦ 6 بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنَ الرَّبِّ صُنِعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَبِنَسْمَةِ فَمِهِ كُلُّ مَجْمُوعَاتِ الْكَوَاكِبِ.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

٧ 7 يَجْمَعُ الْبِحَارَ كَكَوْمَةٍ وَالْلُّجَجَ فِي أَهْرَاءٍ.

He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

٨ 8 لِتَخَفِ الرَّبَّ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا، وَلْيُوَقِّرْهُ جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ الْعَالَمِ.

Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

٩ 9 قَالَ كَلِمَةً فَكَانَ. وَأَمَرَ فَصَارَ!

For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

١٠ 10 الرَّبُّ أَحْبَطَ مُؤَامَرَةَ الأُمَمِ. أَبْطَلَ أَفْكَارَ الشُّعُوبِ.

The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.

١١ 11 أَمَّا مَقَاصِدُ الرَّبِّ فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأَفْكَارُ قَلْبِهِ تَدُومُ مَدَى الدُّهُورِ.

The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.

١٢ 12 طُوبَى لِلأُمَّةِ الَّتِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهَا، وَلِلشَّعْبِ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ مِيرَاثاً لَهُ:

Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.

١٣ 13 يَنْظُرُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّماوَاتِ فَيَرَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;

١٤ 14 وَمِنْ مَقَامِ سُكْنَاهُ يُرَاقِبُ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ.

From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

١٥ 15 فَهُوَ جَابِلُ قُلُوبِهِمْ جَمِيعاً وَالْعَلِيمُ بِكُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ.

He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.

١٦ 16 لَا يَخْلُصُ الْمَلِكُ بِالْجَيْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَلَا الْجَبَّارُ بِشِدَّةِ الْقُوَّةِ.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

١٧ 17 بَاطِلاً يَرْجُو النَّصْرَ مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تُنَجِّي رَغْمَ قُوَّتِهَا.

A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.

١٨ 18 هُوَذَا عَيْنُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ، الْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ،

See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

١٩ 19 لِيُنْقِذَ نُفُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَيَسْتَحْيِيَهُمْ فِي الْمَجَاعَةِ.

To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.

٢٠ 20 أَنْفُسُنَا تَنَتَظِرُ الرَّبَّ. عَوْنُنَا وَتُرْسُنَا هُوَ.

Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.

٢١ 21 بِهِ تَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُنَا، لأَنَّنَا عَلَى اسْمِهِ الْقُدُّوسِ تَوَكَّلْنَا.

For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.

٢٢ 22 لِتَكُنْ يَا رَبُّ رَحْمَتُكَ عَلَيْنَا بِمُقْتَضَى رَجَائِنَا فِيكَ.

Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
