المَزامِير 72

١ 1 لِسُلَيْمَانَ اللهُمَّ أَعْطِ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ ولابْنِهِ بِرَّكَ،

[A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.

٢ 2 فَيَقْضِيَ لِشَعْبِكَ بِالْعَدْلِ وَمَسَاكِينِكَ بِالإِنْصَافِ.

He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

٣ 3 لِتَحْمِلِ الْجِبَالُ لِلشَّعْبِ سَلاماً، وَالتِّلالُ بِرّاً.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

٤ 4 لِيَحْكُمِ الْمَلِكُ بِالْحَقِّ لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَيُنْقِذْ بَنِي الْبَائِسِينَ، وَيُحَطِّمِ الظَّالِمَ.

He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

٥ 5 لِيَرْهَبُوكَ مَادَامَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.

They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.

٦ 6 لِيَكُنِ الْمَلِكُ كَالْمَطَرِ الْمُنْهَمِرِ عَلَى الْمَرَاعِي الْمَجْزُوزَةِ، كَالْغُيُوثِ الَّتِي تَسْقِي الأَرْضَ.

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth.

٧ 7 لِيَزْدَهِرْ فِي أَيَّامِهِ الصِّدِّيقُ، وَيَتَوَافَرِ السَّلامُ مَادَامَ الْقَمَرُ يُضِيءُ.

In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.

٨ 8 وَلْتَمْتَدَّ مَمْلَكَتُهُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ النَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

٩ 9 أَمَامَهُ يَرْكَعُ أَهْلُ الْبَادِيَةِ، وَأَعْدَاؤُهُ يَلْحَسُونَ التُّرَابَ.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

١٠ 10 مُلُوكُ تَرْشِيشَ وَالْجُزُرِ يَحْمِلُونَ إِلَيْهِ الْهَدَايَا. مُلُوكُ شَبَا وَسَبَأَ يُقَدِّمُونَ عَطَايَا.

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

١١ 11 يَنْحَنِي أَمَامَهُ جَمِيعُ الْمُلُوكِ. وَتَتَعَبَّدُ لَهُ كُلُّ الأُمَمِ.

Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

١٢ 12 لأَنَّهُ يُنْقِذُ الْمِسْكِينَ الْمُسْتَغِيثَ الْبَائِسَ الَّذِي لَا مُعِينَ لَهُ.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.

١٣ 13 يَعْطِفُ عَلَى الْفَقِيرِ وَالْمُحْتَاجِ وَيُخَلِّصُ نُفُوسَ الْمَسَاكِينِ.

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

١٤ 14 إِذْ يَفْتَدِي نُفُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَالْعُنْفِ، وَيَحْفَظُ حَيَاتَهُمْ لأَنَّهَا ثَمِينَةٌ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.

He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

١٥ 15 لِيَحْيَ الْمَلِكُ! لِيُعْطَ لَهُ ذَهَبُ شَبَا. وَلْيُصَلُّوا مِنْ أَجْلِهِ دَائِماً وَيَطْلُبُوا لَهُ بَرَكَةَ اللهِ كُلَّ النَّهَارِ.

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.

١٦ 16 لِتَتَكَاثَرِ الْغِلالُ فِي الأَرْضِ وَعَلَى رُؤُوسِ الْجِبَالِ، وَتَتَمَاوَجْ مِثْلَ أَرْزِ لُبْنَانَ، وَيُزْهِرْ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ كَعُشْبِ الأَرْضِ.

There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

١٧ 17 يَخْلُدُ اسْمُهُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ، وَيَدُومُ اسْمُهُ كَدَيْمُومَةِ الشَّمْسِ، وَيَتَبَارَكُ النَّاسُ بِهِ، وَتُطَوِّبُهُ كُلُّ الأُمَمِ.

His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

١٨ 18 تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَهُوَ وَحْدَهُ صَانِعُ الْعَجَائِبِ.

Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

١٩ 19 تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ الْمَجِيدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلْتَمْتَلِئِ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ مَجْدِهِ. آمِين ثُمَّ آمِين.

And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.

٢٠ 20 هُنَا تَنْتَهِي صَلَوَاتُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
