المَزامِير 46

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى أَصْوَاتِ الْعَذَارَى تَرْنِيمَةٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ اللهُ لَنَا مَلْجَأٌ وَقُوَّةٌ، عَوْنُهُ مُتَوَافِرٌ لَنَا دَائِماً فِي الضِّيقَاتِ.

God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.

٢ 2 لِذَلِكَ لَا نَخَافُ وَلَوْ تَزَحْزَحَتِ الأَرْضُ وَانْقَلَبَتِ الْجِبَالُ إِلَى قَلْبِ الْبِحَارِ.

So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,

٣ 3 تَهِيجُ وَتُزْبِدُ مِيَاهُهَا؛ تَتَزَلْزَلُ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ عُنْفِ جَيَشَانِهَا.

and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!

٤ 4 تَفْرَحُ مَدِينَةُ اللهِ حَيْثُ مَسَاكِنُ الْعَلِيِّ بِنَهْرٍ دَائِمِ الْجَرَيَانِ.

[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.

٥ 5 اللهُ فِي وَسَطِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. يُعِينُهَا اللهُ فِي الفَجْرِ المُبَكِّرِ.

God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.

٦ 6 مَاجَتِ الأُمَمُ وَهَاجَتْ، فَتَزَلْزَلَتِ الْمَمَالِكُ، وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ دَوَّى بِصَوْتِهِ حَتَّى ذَابَتِ الأَرْضُ.

[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].

٧ 7 رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ مَعَنَا، مَلْجَأُنَا إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ.

But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.

٨ 8 تَعَالَوْا وَانْظُرُوا أَعْمَالَ اللهِ الَّذِي صَنَعَ عَجَائِبَ فِي الأَرْضِ

Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!

٩ 9 يَقْضِي عَلَى الْحُرُوبِ فِي الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. يَكْسِرُ الْقَوْسَ وَيَشُقُّ الرُّمْحَ، وَيُحْرِقُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ الْحَرْبِيَّةَ بِالنَّارِ.

He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.

١٠ 10 اسْتَكِينُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنِّي أَنَا اللهُ، أَتَعَالَى بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأَتَعَالَى فِي الأَرْضِ.

[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”

١١ 11 رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ مَعَنَا. مَلْجَأُنَا إِلَهُ يَعْقُوبَ.

[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
