المَزامِير 40

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ انْتَظَرْتُ الرَّبَّ صَابِراً، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُرَاخَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي،

I waited patiently for Jehovah, and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.

٢ 2 وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنْ هُوَّةِ الْهَلاكِ، مِنْ طِينِ الْمُسْتَنْقَعِ. وَأَوْقَفَ قَدَمَيَّ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتُ أَمْشِي بِخُطُوَاتٍ ثَابِتَةٍ.

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

٣ 3 وَضَعَ فِي فَمِي تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، قَصِيدَةَ تَسْبِيحٍ لإِلَهِنَا. يَرَى ذَلِكَ كَثِيرُونَ فَيَخَافُونَ الرَّبَّ.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.

٤ 4 طُوبَى لِرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ فِي الرَّبِّ ثِقَتَهُ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى الْكَذِبِ.

Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust, and respects not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

٥ 5 أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، مَا أَكْثَرَ أَعْمَالَكَ الْعَجِيبَةَ! إِنْ تَحَدَّثْتُ عَنْ خُطَطِكَ الرَّائِعَةِ لَنَا فَلَنْ أَقْدِرَ أَنْ أُحْصِيَهَا. زَادَتْ عَنْ أَنْ تُعَدَّ.

Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works which thou have done, and thy thoughts which are toward us. They cannot be set in order to thee. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

٦ 6 لَمْ تُرِدْ أَوْ تَطْلُبْ ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لَكِنَّكَ وَهَبْتَنِي أُذُنَيْنِ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ مُطِيعَتَيْنِ.

Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but a body thou have prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require.

٧ 7 عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا أَجِيءُ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي دَرْجِ الْكِتَابِ:

Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me.

٨ 8 إِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ الصَّالِحَةَ يَا إِلَهِي، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ فِي صَمِيمِ قَلْبِي.

I delight to do thy will, O my God. Yea, thy law is within my heart.

٩ 9 أَعْلَنْتُ بِرَّكَ وَسَطَ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُلْجِمْ شَفَتَيَّ.

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great assembly. Lo, I will not refrain my lips. O Jehovah, thou know.

١٠ 10 لَمْ أُخْفِ بِرَّكَ دَاخِلَ قَلْبِي، بَلْ أَعْلَنْتُ أَمَانَتَكَ وَخَلاصَكَ. لَمْ أَكْتُمْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَحَقَّكَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ».

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart. I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy loving kindness and thy truth from the great assembly.

١١ 11 فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ لَنْ تَمْنَعَ مَرَاحِمَكَ عَنِّي. تَنْصُرُنِي دَائِماً رَحْمَتُكَ وَحَقُّكَ.

Withhold thou not thy tender mercies from me, O Jehovah. Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me,

١٢ 12 إِنَّ شُرُوراً لَا تُحْصَى قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِي، وَآثَامِي قَدْ أَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فَأَعْمَتْنِي لأَنَّهَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَقَلْبِي قَدْ خَذَلَنِي.

for innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.

١٣ 13 يَا رَبُّ، ارْتَضِ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي. أَسْرِعْ يَا رَبُّ لإِغَاثَتِي.

Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

١٤ 14 لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعاً الَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيُدْبِرْ وَلْيَخْزَ الْمَسْرُورُونَ بِأَذِيَّتِي.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

١٥ 15 لِيَذْهَلْ خِزْياً السَّاخِرُونَ مِنِّي.

Let them be desolate because of their shame who say to me, Aha, aha.

١٦ 16 وَلْيَفْرَحْ وَيَبْتَهِجْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ كُلَّ حِينٍ مُحبُّو خَلاصِكَ: «يَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ».

Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified.

١٧ 17 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَبَائِسٌ. الرَّبُّ يَهْتَمُّ بِي. عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. فَلَا تَتَوَانَ يَا إِلَهِي.

But I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. Thou are my help and my deliverer. Make no delay, O my God.
