المَزامِير 36

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

For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.

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

For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

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

The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

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

He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

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

O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

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

Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.

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

How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.

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

They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.

٩ 9 لأَنَّ عِنْدَكَ نَبْعَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَبِنُورِكَ نَرَى النُّورَ.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.

١٠ 10 أَدِمْ رَحْمَتَكَ لِعَارِفيِكَ، وَعَدْلَكَ لِذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ الْمُسْتَقِيمَةِ.

Extend your mercy to them that 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 pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.

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

There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
