مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا كَانَ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ يَهُوذَا يَا اللهُ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي وَإِيَّاكَ أَطْلُبُ بَاكِراً. عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي وَيَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْكَ جِسْمِي فِي أَرْضٍ قَاحِلَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ لَا مَاءَ فِيهَا، ١ 1
A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;
حَتَّى أُعَايِنَ قُدْرَتَكَ وَمَجْدَكَ، مِثْلَمَا رَأَيْتُكَ فِي مَوْضِعِكَ الْمُقَدَّسِ. ٢ 2
To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ، لِذَلِكَ تُسَبِّحُكَ شَفَتَايَ. ٣ 3
Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
أَحْمَدُكَ عَلَى بَرَكَاتِكَ مَدَى حَيَاتِي، وَبِاسْمِكَ أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ مُبْتَهِلاً. ٤ 4
So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
تَشْبَعُ نَفْسِي كَأَنَّهَا أَكَلَتْ مِنَ الشَّحْمِ وَالدَّسَمِ، وَيُسَبِّحُكَ فَمِي بِشَفَتَيْنِ مُبْتَهِجَتَيْنِ ٥ 5
My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
أَذْكُرُكَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي وَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِيكَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ. ٦ 6
When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَوْناً لِي، فَإِنِّي فِي ظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ أُرَنِّمُ مُبْتَهِجاً. ٧ 7
Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
تَتَعَلَّقُ نَفْسِي بِكَ. يَمِينُكَ تَدْعَمُنِي ٨ 8
My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
أَمَّا طَالِبُو نَفْسِي لِيُهْلِكُوهَا فَسَيَدْخُلُونَ أَسْفَلَ أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ. ٩ 9
But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
يُسَلَّمُونَ إِلَى حَدِّ السَّيْفِ وَيَضْحَوْنَ مَأْكَلاً لِبَنَاتِ آوَى. ١٠ 10
They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
أَمَّا الْمَلِكُ فَيَفْرَحُ بِاللهِ وَيَفْتَخِرُ بِهِ كُلُّ مَنْ يُقْسِمُ (صَادِقاً) لأَنَّ أَفْوَاهَ النَّاطِقِينَ بِالْكَذِبِ تُسَدُّ. ١١ 11
But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
