المَزامِير 34

١ 1 لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا ادَّعَى الْجُنُونَ أَمَامَ أَبِيمَالِكَ، فَصَرَفَهُ عَنْهُ، فَمَضَى آمِناً. أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. تَسْبِيحُهُ دَائِماً فِي فَمِي.

By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

٢ 2 تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي بِالرَّبِّ، فَيَسْمَعُنِي الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

My soul shall boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

٣ 3 مَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَظِّمِ اسْمَهُ مَعاً.

Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let’s exalt his name together.

٤ 4 الْتَمَسْتُ الرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَنِي، وأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي.

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

٥ 5 الَّذِينَ تَطَلَّعُوا إِلَيْهِ اسْتَنَارُوا، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قَطُّ.

They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

٦ 6 هَذَا الْمِسْكِينُ اسْتَغَاثَ، فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّبُّ وَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِهِ.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

٧ 7 مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ يُخَيِّمُ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

٨ 8 ذُوقُوا وَانْظُرُوا مَا أَطْيَبَ الرَّبَّ. طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَلَيْهِ.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

٩ 9 اتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ يَا قِدِّيسِيهِ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَوَزٌ لِمُتَّقِيهِ.

Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.

١٠ 10 تَحْتَاجُ الأَشْبَالُ وَتَجُوعُ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو الرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.

١١ 11 تَعَالَوْا أَيُّهَا الْبَنُونَ وَأَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَأُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَخَافَةَ الرَّبِّ.

Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

١٢ 12 فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ بِحَيَاةٍ سَعِيدَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ طَيِّبَةٍ،

Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

١٣ 13 فَلْيَمْنَعْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَشَفَتَيْهِ عَنْ كَلامِ الْغِشِّ

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

١٤ 14 لِيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَيَفْعَلِ الْخَيْرَ. لِيَطْلُبِ السَّلامَ وَيَسْعَ لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.

١٥ 15 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْعَى الأَبْرَارَ بِعِنَايَتِهِ وَيَسْتَجِيبُ إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ.

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

١٦ 16 وَلَكِنْ يَقِفُ ضِدَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الشَّرَّ لِيَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.

١٧ 17 يَسْتَغِيثُ الأَبْرَارُ، فَيَسْمَعُ لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِهِمْ.

The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

١٨ 18 الرَّبُّ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ مُنْكَسِرِي الْقَلْبِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ مُنْسَحِقِي الرُّوحِ.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

١٩ 19 مَا أَكْثَرَ مَصَائِبَ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ جَمِيعِهَا يُنْقِذُهُ الرَّبُّ.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

٢٠ 20 يَحْفَظُ عِظَامَهُ كُلَّهَا، فَلَا تُكْسَرُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا.

He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

٢١ 21 الشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ الشِّرِّيرَ، وَالَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

٢٢ 22 الرَّبُّ يَفْدِي نُفُوسَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ يَنْجُو.

Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
