المَزامِير 36

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، لِعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ يُنْبِئُنِي قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي بِمَعْصِيَةِ الشِّرِّيرِ، الَّذِي لَا يَرْتَدِعُ خَوْفاً مِنَ اللهِ.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

٢ 2 فَإِنَّهُ يَتَمَلَّقُ نَفْسَهُ (لِيُقْنِعَهَا) أَنَّ خَطِيئَتَهُ الْمَمْقُوتَةَ لَنْ تُكْتَشَفَ وَتُدَانَ.

For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.

٣ 3 كَلامُ فَمِهِ إِثْمٌ وَنِفَاقٌ، وَقَدْ كَفَّ عَنِ التَّعَقُّلِ لأَجْلِ عَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ.

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.

٤ 4 يَتَفَكَّرُ فِي الْبَاطِلِ عَلَى سَرِيرِه لَيْلاً. وَيَسْلُكُ فِي سَبِيلِ السُّوءِ لَا يَسْتَنْكِرُ الشَّرَّ.

Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.

٥ 5 يَا رَبُّ، إِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَأَمَانَتَكَ تَبْلُغُ الْغُيُومَ.

Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.

٦ 6 عَدْلُكَ ثَابِتٌ مِثْلُ الْجِبَالِ الشَّامِخَةِ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ كَالْعُمْقِ السَّحِيقِ. وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ تَحْفَظُ النَّاسَ وَالْبَهَائِمَ جَمِيعاً.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.

٧ 7 اللهُمَّ، مَا أَثْمَنَ رَحْمَتَكَ! فَإِنَّ بَنِي الْبَشَرِ يَحْتَمُونَ فِي ظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ.

How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

٨ 8 يَرْتَوُونَ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ بَيْتِكَ، وَمِنْ نَهْرِ نِعَمِكَ تَسْقِيهِمْ.

They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

٩ 9 لأَنَّ عِنْدَكَ نَبْعَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَبِنُورِكَ نَرَى النُّورَ.

For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

١٠ 10 أَدِمْ رَحْمَتَكَ لِعَارِفيِكَ، وَعَدْلَكَ لِذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ.

Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

١١ 11 لَا تَدَعْ قَدَمَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِ تَبْلُغُنِي، وَيَدَ الأَشْرَارِ تُزَحْزِحُنِي.

Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

١٢ 12 هُنَاكَ سَقَطَ فَاعِلُو الإِثْمِ، طُرِحُوا، عَجَزُوا عَنِ النُّهُوضِ.

There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
