المَزامِير 38

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ يَا رَبُّ لَا تُوَبِّخْنِي بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِسَخَطِكَ،

A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

٢ 2 لأَنَّ سِهَامَكَ قَدْ أَصَابَتْنِي وَضَرَبَاتِكَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ.

For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me.

٣ 3 اعْتَلَّ جَسَدِي لِفَرْطِ غَضَبِكَ عَلَيَّ. وَبَلِيَتْ عِظَامِي بِسَبَبِ خَطِيئَتِي.

[There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

٤ 4 طَمَتْ آثَامِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِي. وَصَارَتْ كَعِبْءٍ ثَقِيلٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي عَلَى حَمْلِهِ.

For my iniquities have gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

٥ 5 أَنْتَنَتْ جِرَاحِي وَسَالَ صَدِيدُهَا بِسَبَبِ جَهَالَتِي.

My wounds are offensive, [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

٦ 6 انْحَنَيْتُ وَالْتَوَيْتُ. وَدَامَ نَحِيبِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

٧ 7 امْتلأَ دَاخِلِي بِأَلَمٍ حَارِقٍ، فَلَا صِحَّةَ فِي جَسَدِي.

For my loins are filled with a lothsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

٨ 8 أَنَا وَاهِنٌ وَمَسْحُوقٌ إِلَى الْغَايَةِ، وَأَئِنُّ مِنْ أَوْجَاعِ قَلْبِي الدَّفِينَةِ.

I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

٩ 9 أَمَامَكَ يَا رَبُّ كُلُّ تَأَوُّهِي، وَتَنَهُّدِي مَكْشُوفٌ لَدَيْكَ.

LORD, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

١٠ 10 خَفَقَ قَلْبِي وَفَارَقَتْنِي قُوَّتِي، وَاضْمَحَلَّ فِيَّ نُورُ عَيْنَيَّ.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.

١١ 11 وَقَفَ أَحِبَّائِي وَأَصْحَابِي مُسْتَنْكِفِينَ مِنِّي بِسَبَبِ مُصِيبَتِي، وَتَنَحَّى أَقَارِبِي عَنِّي.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

١٢ 12 نَصَبَ السَّاعُونَ لِقَتْلِي الْفِخَاخَ، وَطَالِبُو أَذِيَّتِي تَوَعَّدُوا بِدَمَارِي، وَتَآمَرُوا طُولَ النَّهَارِ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِي.

They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ كُنْتُ كَأَصَمَّ، لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَأَخْرَسَ لَا يَفْتَحُ فَاهُ.

But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

١٤ 14 كُنْتُ كَمَنْ لَا يَسْمَعُ، وَكَمَنْ لَيْسَ فِي فَمِهِ حُجَّةٌ.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

١٥ 15 لأَنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ فِيكَ رَجَائِي، وَأَنْتَ تَسْتَجِيبُنِي يَا رَبُّ يَا إِلَهِي.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O LORD my God.

١٦ 16 قُلْتُ: «لَا تَدَعْهُمْ يَشْمَتُونَ بِي فَحَالَمَا زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي تَغَطْرَسُوا عَلَيَّ»

For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.

١٧ 17 لأَنِّي أَكَادُ أَتَعَثَّرُ، وَوَجَعِي دَائِماً أَمَامَ نَاظِرِي.

For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

١٨ 18 أَعْتَرِفُ جَهْراً بِإِثْمِي، وأَحْزَنُ مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطِيئَتِي.

For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

١٩ 19 أَمَّا أَعْدَائِي فَيَفِيضُونَ حَيَوِيَّةً. تَجَبَّرُوا وَكَثُرَ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي ظُلْماً.

But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

٢٠ 20 وَالَّذِينَ يُجَازُونَ الْخَيْرَ بِالشَّرِّ يُقَاوِمُونَنِي لأَنِّي أَتْبَعُ الصَّلاحَ.

They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow [the thing that is] good.

٢١ 21 لَا تَنْبِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تَبْعُدْ عَنِّي.

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

٢٢ 22 أَسْرِعْ لِنَجْدَتِي يَا رَبُّ يَا مُخَلِّصِي.

Make haste to help me, O LORD my salvation.
