< المَزامِير 7 >
قَصِيدَةُ حُزْنٍ نَظَمَهَا دَاوُدُ وَرَنَّمَهَا لِلرَّبِّ رَدّاً لِلتُّهْمَةِ الَّتِي رَمَاهُ بِها كُوشُ الْبَنْيَامِينِيُّ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، إِلَيْكَ الْتَجَأْتُ، فَأَنْقِذْنِي وَنَجِّنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُطَارِدِيَّ، | ١ 1 |
[A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.] LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
لِئَلّا يَفْتَرِسَ الْعَدُوُّ نَفْسِي كَالأَسَدِ، وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُنْقِذُنِي. | ٢ 2 |
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ اقْتَرَفْتُ هَذِهِ الإِسَاءَةَ، وَكَانَتْ يَدَايَ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَتَا هَذَا الإِثْمَ، | ٣ 3 |
LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسَأْتُ لِمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيَّ وَسَلَبْتُ عَدُوِّي مِنْ غَيْرِ سَبَبٍ، | ٤ 4 |
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, or oppressed my enemy without cause,
إِذَنْ فَلْيُطَارِدِ الْعَدُوُّ نَفْسِي ويَنْزِعْهَا مِنِّي، وَلْيَدُسْ فِي الأَرْضِ حَيَاتِي، وَيُعَفِّرْ فِي التُّرَابِ شَرَفِي. | ٥ 5 |
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
انْهَضْ يَا رَبُّ فِي احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِكَ، وَانْتَصِبْ فِي وَجْهِ سَخَطِ خُصُومِي، يَا مَنْ أَوْصَيْتَ بِالْعَدْلِ. | ٦ 6 |
Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake, my God; you have appointed judgment.
لِتُحِطْ بِكَ جَمَاعَةُ الشُّعُوبِ فَتَحْكُمَهَا مِنْ مَنَصَّةِ الْقَضَاءِ الْعَالِيَةِ. | ٧ 7 |
And let the congregation of the peoples surround you, and rule over them on high.
إِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَدِينُ الأُمَمَ. اقضِ لِي يَا رَبُّ كَحَقِّي، بِحَسَبِ مَا فِيَّ مِنْ كَمَالٍ. | ٨ 8 |
The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
ضَعْ حَدّاً لِشَرِّ الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَثْبِتْ بَرَاءَةَ الأَبْرَارِ، أَيُّهَا الإِلَهُ الْعَادِلُ فَاحِصُ الْقُلُوبِ وَالدَّخَائِلِ. | ٩ 9 |
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. The righteous God tests hearts and minds.
مَلْجَإِي عِنْدَ اللهِ مُخَلِّصِ مُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
اللهُ قَاضٍ عَادِلٌ، وَهُوَ إِلَهٌ يَسْخَطُ عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ. | ١١ 11 |
God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
صَقَلَ سَيْفَهُ لِيَضْرِبَ بِهِ الشِّرِّيرَ الَّذِي لَا يَتُوبُ. وَتَّرَ قَوْسَهُ وَهَيَّأَهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
أَعَدَّ لَهُ الأَسْلِحَةَ الْقَتَّالَةَ، وَجَعَلَ سِهَامَهُ مُحْرِقَةً. | ١٣ 13 |
He has also prepared for himself deadly weapons. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
هُوَذَا الْعَدُوُّ يَتَمَخَّضُ بِالإِثْمِ، يَحْبَلُ بِالأَذَى، وَيَلِدُ كَذِباً. | ١٤ 14 |
Look, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
حَفَرَ بِئْراً وَعَمَّقَهَا، فَسَقَطَ فِيهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
شَرُّهُ يَرْتَدُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَظُلْمُهُ يَهْبِطُ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head, and his violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
إِنِّي أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَدَالَتِهِ، وَأَتَرَنَّمُ لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ العَلِيِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
