المَزامِير 69

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى السُّوسَنِّ. لِدَاوُدَ خَلِّصْنِي يَا اللهُ، فَإِنَّ الْمِيَاهَ قَدْ غَمَرَتْ نَفْسِي.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

٢ 2 غَرِقْتُ فِي حَمْأَةٍ وَلَا مَكَانَ فِيهَا أَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ. خُضْتُ أَعْمَاقَ الْمِيَاهِ. وَطَمَا عَلَيَّ السَّيْلُ.

I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

٣ 3 تَعِبْتُ مِنْ صُرَاخِي. جَفَّ حَلْقِي. كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ وَأَنَا أَنْتَظِرُ إِلَهِي.

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

٤ 4 مُبْغِضِيَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ أَكْثَرُ عَدَداً مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَطَالِبُو هَلاكِي طُغَاةٌ جَائِرُونَ. حِينَئِذٍ رَدَدْتُ مَا لَمْ أَغْتَصِبْهُ.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.

٥ 5 يَا اللهُ أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ حَمَاقَتِي، وَمَعَاصِيَّ لَمْ تَخْفَ عَنْكَ.

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

٦ 6 أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، لَا تَدَعْنِي أَكُونُ عِلَّةَ خِزْيِ مُلْتَمِسِيكَ، وَلَا مَثَارَ خَجَلِ طَالِبِيكَ يَا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

٧ 7 لأَنَّنِي تَحَمَّلْتُ الْعَارَ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ، وَغَطَّى الْخَجَلُ وَجْهِي.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

٨ 8 صِرْتُ غَرِيباً فِي عُيُونِ إِخْوَتِي، وَأَجْنَبِيًّا فِي نَظَرِ بَنِي أُمِّي.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.

٩ 9 لأَنَّ الْغَيْرَةَ عَلَى بَيْتِكَ أَكَلَتْنِي وَتَعْيِيرَاتُ الَّذِينَ يُعَيِّرُونَكَ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيَّ.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

١٠ 10 صُمْتُ وَبَكَيْتُ فَعَيَّرُونِي.

When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

١١ 11 اتَّشَحْتُ بِالمُسُوحِ فَصِرْتُ عِنْدَهُمْ مَثَلاً.

I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

١٢ 12 صِرْتُ حَدِيثَ الْجَالِسِينَ فِي بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَأُغْنِيَةً لِلسُّكَارَى.

They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the song of the drunkards.

١٣ 13 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِلَيْكَ صَلاتِي يَا رَبُّ؛ لأَنَّ هَذَا أَوَانُ الرِّضَى، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا اللهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الْغَزِيرَةِ وَبِحَقِّ خَلاصِكَ.

But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

١٤ 14 أَنْقِذْنِي مِنَ الوَحْلِ فَلَا أَغْرَقَ. نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ وَانْتَشِلْنِي مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الْمِيَاهِ.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

١٥ 15 لَا يَطْمُ عَلَيَّ سَيْلُ الْمِيَاهِ، وَلَا يَبْتَلِعَنِّي الْعُمْقُ، وَلَا تُطْبِقِ الْهُوَّةُ عَلَيَّ فَمَهَا.

Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

١٦ 16 اسْتَجِبْ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ صَالِحَةٌ، وَبِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِمِكَ الْوَفِيرَةِ الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ.

Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

١٧ 17 لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، لأَنَّنِي فِي ضِيقٍ، فَأَسْرِعْ وَاسْتَجِبْ لِي.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

١٨ 18 اقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي، وَفُكَّهَا. افْدِنِي بِأَعْدَائِي

Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

١٩ 19 أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ عَارِي وَخِزْيِي وَهَوَانِي. أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ كُلَّ مُضَايِقِيَّ.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.

٢٠ 20 كَسَرَ الْعَارُ قَلْبِي فَمَرِضْتُ. الْتَمَسْتُ عَطْفاً فَلَمْ أَجِدْ، وَمُعَزِّينَ فَلَمْ أَعْثُرْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ.

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for comforters, but I found none.

٢١ 21 وَضَعُوا عَلْقَماً فِي طَعَامِي، وَفِي عَطَشِي يَسْقُونَنِي خَلاً.

They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

٢٢ 22 لِتَصِرْ لَهُمْ مَائِدَتُهُمْ فَخّاً وَعَقَبَةً وَعِقَاباً.

Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.

٢٣ 23 لِتُظْلِمْ عُيُونُهُمْ كَيْ لَا يُبْصِرُوا وَلْتَكُنْ ظُهُورُهُمْ مُنْحَنِيَةً دَائِماً.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

٢٤ 24 صُبَّ سَخَطَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلْيُدْرِكْهُمْ غَضَبُكَ الْمُحْتَدِمُ.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

٢٥ 25 لِيَصِرْ مَسْكَنُهُمْ خَرَاباً، وَلَا يَبْقَ فِي خِيَامِهِمْ سَاكِنٌ.

Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in their tents.

٢٦ 26 لأَنَّهُمْ يَضْطَهِدُونَ مَنْ عَاقَبْتَهُ، وَيَشْمَتُونَ فِي وَجَعِ الَّذِينَ جَرَحْتَهُمْ.

For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

٢٧ 27 زِدْ إِثْماً عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ وَلَا تُبْرِئْ سَاحَتَهُمْ.

Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

٢٨ 28 لِتُحْذَفْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مِنْ سِجِلِّ الْحَيَاةِ وَلَا تُكْتَبْ مَعَ الأَبْرَارِ.

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

٢٩ 29 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمُتَضَايِقٌ وَمُتَوَجِّعٌ. فَلْيُرَفِّعْنِي خَلاصُكَ يَا اللهُ.

But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

٣٠ 30 أُسَبِّحُ اسْمَ اللهِ بِنَشِيدٍ وَأُعَظِّمُهُ بِحَمْدٍ.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

٣١ 31 فَيَطِيبُ ذَلِكَ لَدَى الرَّبِّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَةٍ: ثَوْرٍ أَوْ عِجْلٍ.

[This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

٣٢ 32 يَرَى الْوُدَعَاءُ ذَلِكَ فَيَفْرَحُونَ. وَتَحْيَا نُفُوسُكُمْ يَا طَالِبِي اللهِ.

The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

٣٣ 33 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِلْمُحْتَاجِينَ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ شَعْبَهُ الأَسِيرَ.

For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

٣٤ 34 تُسَبِّحُهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَالْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَتَحَرَّكَ فِيهَا.

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

٣٥ 35 لأَنَّ اللهَ يُخَلِّصُ صِهْيَوْنَ وَيَبْنِي مُدُنَ يَهُوذَا، فَيَسْكُنُ الشَّعْبُ فِيهَا وَيَمْتَلِكُهَا.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

٣٦ 36 تَرِثُهَا ذُرِّيَّةُ عَبِيدِهِ، وَمُحِبُّو اسْمِهِ يَسْكُنوُنَ فِيهَا.

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
