المَزامِير 69

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

For the Chief Musician; set to 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 with 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 cut me off, 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 be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts: let not those that seek thee be brought to dishonour through me, 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 reproach 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.

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb unto them.

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

They that sit in the gate talk of me; and [I am] 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, answer 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 overwhelm 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.

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

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 distress; answer me speedily.

١٨ 18 اقْتَرِبْ إِلَى نَفْسِي، وَفُكَّهَا. افْدِنِي بِأَعْدَائِي

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

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

Thou knowest 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 before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, [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 the fierceness of thine anger overtake them.

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

Let their habitation be desolate; 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 tell of the sorrow 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 life, 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.

And it shall please the LORD better than an ox, [or] a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

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

The meek have seen it, and are glad: ye that seek after God, let your heart live.

٣٣ 33 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لِلْمُحْتَاجِينَ وَلَا يَحْتَقِرُ شَعْبَهُ الأَسِيرَ.

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

٣٤ 34 تُسَبِّحُهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ وَالْبِحَارُ وَكُلُّ مَا يَتَحَرَّكَ فِيهَا.

Let 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 build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide 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.
