المَزامِير 33

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

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely for the upright.

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

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.

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

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

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

For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth.

٥ 5 يُحِبُّ الْبِرَّ وَالْعَدْلَ. وَرَحْمَتُهُ تَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ.

He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness 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 host of them by the breath of his mouth.

٧ 7 يَجْمَعُ الْبِحَارَ كَكَوْمَةٍ وَالْلُّجَجَ فِي أَهْرَاءٍ.

He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

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

Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

٩ 9 قَالَ كَلِمَةً فَكَانَ. وَأَمَرَ فَصَارَ!

For he spake, and it was [done; ] he commanded, and it stood fast.

١٠ 10 الرَّبُّ أَحْبَطَ مُؤَامَرَةَ الأُمَمِ. أَبْطَلَ أَفْكَارَ الشُّعُوبِ.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

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

The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

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

Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

١٣ 13 يَنْظُرُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّماوَاتِ فَيَرَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

١٤ 14 وَمِنْ مَقَامِ سُكْنَاهُ يُرَاقِبُ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ.

From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

١٥ 15 فَهُوَ جَابِلُ قُلُوبِهِمْ جَمِيعاً وَالْعَلِيمُ بِكُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ.

He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

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

There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

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

An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength.

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

Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

١٩ 19 لِيُنْقِذَ نُفُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَيَسْتَحْيِيَهُمْ فِي الْمَجَاعَةِ.

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

٢٠ 20 أَنْفُسُنَا تَنَتَظِرُ الرَّبَّ. عَوْنُنَا وَتُرْسُنَا هُوَ.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our shield.

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

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

٢٢ 22 لِتَكُنْ يَا رَبُّ رَحْمَتُكَ عَلَيْنَا بِمُقْتَضَى رَجَائِنَا فِيكَ.

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
