المَزامِير 71

١ 1 يَا رَبُّ بِكَ احْتَمَيْتُ فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَخْزَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.

٢ 2 أَنْقِذْنِي وَفْقاً لِعَدْلِكَ وَنَجِّنِي. أَرْهِفْ إِلَيَّ أُذُنَكَ وَخَلِّصْنِي.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me.

٣ 3 كُنْ لِي صَخْرَةَ مَلْجَأٍ أَلُوذُ بِها دَائِماً. أَنْتَ أَمَرْتَ بِخَلاصِي لأَنَّكَ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي.

Be you my strong habitation, unto which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.

٤ 4 يَا إِلَهِي أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ يَدِ الشِّرِّيرِ، مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَثِيمِ وَالظَّالِمِ.

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

٥ 5 فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، وَمَوْضِعُ ثِقَتِي مُنْذُ صِبَايَ.

For you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.

٦ 6 عَلَيْكَ اعْتَمَدْتُ مُنْذُ وِلادَتِي، وَمِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي أَخْرَجْتَنِي، فَإِيَّاكَ أُسَبِّحُ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ.

By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.

٧ 7 صِرْتُ مَثَارَ اسْتِهْجَانٍ عِنْدَ كَثِيرِينَ، لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي الْقَوِيُّ.

I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.

٨ 8 لِيَمْتَلِئْ فَمِي مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ وَمِنْ تَمْجِيدِكَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ.

Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honour all the day.

٩ 9 لَا تَنْبِذْنِي فِي شَيْخُوخَتِي، وَلَا تَخْذِلْنِي عِنْدَ اضْمِحْلالِ قُوَّتِي.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.

١٠ 10 لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيَّ وَالْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ بِي يَتَآمَرُونَ مَعاً.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

١١ 11 قَائِلِينَ: «قَدْ تَرَكَهُ اللهُ، فَطَارِدُوهُ وَاقْبِضُوا عَلَيْهِ لأَنَّهُ لَا مُنْقِذَ لَهُ».

Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

١٢ 12 لَا تَبْتَعِدْ عَنِّي يَا اللهُ. أَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي يَا إِلَهِي.

O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

١٣ 13 لِيَخْزَ وَيَبِدْ خُصُومُ نَفْسِي. لِيَكْتَسِ الْعَارَ وَالْهَوَانَ الْمُلْتَمِسُونَ أَذِيَّتِي.

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِيَّاكَ أَرْجُو دَائِماً، وَأُكْثِرُ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ.

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.

١٥ 15 أُخْبِرُ بِبِرِّكَ وَخَلاصِكَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَإِنْ كَانَا يَفُوقَانِ إِدْرَاكِي.

My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

١٦ 16 أَجِيءُ (مُؤَيَّداً) بِقُوَّةِ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ، لأَذْكُرَ بِرَّكَ وَحْدَكَ.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of your only.

١٧ 17 قَدْ عَلَّمْتَنِي يَا اللهُ مُنْذُ صِبَايَ، فَلَمْ أَكُفَّ لَحْظَةً عَنْ إِعْلانِ عَجَائِبِكَ.

O God, you have taught me from my youth: and until now have I declared your wondrous works.

١٨ 18 لَا تَتْرُكْنِي فِي الشَّيْخُوخَةِ وَالشَّيْبِ يَا اللهُ، حَتَّى أُخْبِرَ هَذَا الْجِيلَ بِأَعْمَالِ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ (الْجِيلَ) الآتِي.

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.

١٩ 19 بِرُّكَ مُتَعَالٍ يَا اللهُ، وَأَعْمَالُكَ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَ عَظِيمَةٌ، فَمَنْ مِثْلُكَ يَا اللهُ!

Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like unto you!

٢٠ 20 أَنْتَ الَّذِي اجْتَزْتَ بِنَا ضِيقَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً وَقَاسِيَةً، وَلَكِنَّكَ تَعُودُ فَتُحْيِينَا، وَتُصْعِدُنَا مِنْ جَدِيدٍ مِنْ أَعْمَاقِ الأَرْضِ.

You, which have showed me great and sore troubles, shall restore life in me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

٢١ 21 تَزِيدُنِي شَرَفاً وَتُطَوِّقُنِي بِتَعْزِيَتِكَ.

You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

٢٢ 22 سَأَحْمَدُكَ وَأُشِيدُ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى الرَّبَابِ يَا إِلَهِي. أَشْدُو لَكَ عَلَى الْعُودِ يَا قُدُّوسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.

٢٣ 23 تَبْتَهِجُ شَفَتَايَ عِنْدَمَا أُرَنِّمُ لَكَ، وَكَذَلِكَ نَفْسِي الَّتِي فَدَيْتَهَا.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.

٢٤ 24 وَيَلْهَجُ لِسَانِي بِبِرِّكَ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، لأَنَّ السَّاعِينَ إِلَى أَذِيَّتِي يَحِلُّ حَتْماً بِهِمِ الْخِزْيُ وَالْعَارُ.

My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
