المَزامِير 52

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا أَخْبَرَ دُوَاغُ شَاوُلَ بِذَهَابِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيمَالِكَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَفَاخَرُ بِالشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَّارُ؟ إِنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللهِ تَدُومُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ

For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David: when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the mercy of God [endureth] continually.

٢ 2 لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ الْمَسَاوِئَ، وَيُمَارِسُ الْغِشَّ وَيَجْرَحُ كَالْمُوسَى الْمَسْنُونَةِ.

Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

٣ 3 أَحْبَبْتَ الشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَالْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الصِّدْقِ.

Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

٤ 4 أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلامٍ مُهْلِكٍ أَيُّهَا اللِّسَانُ الْمُنَافِقُ.

Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

٥ 5 حَقّاً سَيُدَمِّرُكَ اللهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَخْتَطِفُكَ وَيَقْتَلِعُكَ مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

٦ 6 فَيَرَى الأَبْرَارُ ذَلِكَ وَيَخَافُونَ؛ يَضْحَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلِينَ:

The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying],

٧ 7 هَذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذِ اللهَ حِصْناً لَهُ، بَلِ اتَّكَلَ عَلَى وَفْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَاعْتَزَّ بِغِوَايَتِهِ.

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

٨ 8 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ وَثِقْتُ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

٩ 9 أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ اسْمَكَ الصَّالِحَ فِي مَحْضَرِ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.

I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
