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, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.

٢ 2 تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي بِالرَّبِّ، فَيَسْمَعُنِي الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.

٣ 3 مَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَظِّمِ اسْمَهُ مَعاً.

Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.

٤ 4 الْتَمَسْتُ الرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَنِي، وأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي.

I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

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

They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.

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

This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.

٧ 7 مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ يُخَيِّمُ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.

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

Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.

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

Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.

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

Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,

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

Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.

١٢ 12 فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ بِحَيَاةٍ سَعِيدَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ طَيِّبَةٍ،

Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?

١٣ 13 فَلْيَمْنَعْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَشَفَتَيْهِ عَنْ كَلامِ الْغِشِّ

Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.

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

Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.

١٥ 15 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْعَى الأَبْرَارَ بِعِنَايَتِهِ وَيَسْتَجِيبُ إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ.

The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.

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

(The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)

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

They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.

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

Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.

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

Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

٢٠ 20 يَحْفَظُ عِظَامَهُ كُلَّهَا، فَلَا تُكْسَرُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا.

He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.

٢١ 21 الشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ الشِّرِّيرَ، وَالَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.

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

Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
