١ 1 لِسُلَيْمَانَ اللهُمَّ أَعْطِ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ ولابْنِهِ بِرَّكَ،

A psalm of Solomon. Give the king your righteous decrees, God, your righteousness to the king's son.

٢ 2 فَيَقْضِيَ لِشَعْبِكَ بِالْعَدْلِ وَمَسَاكِينِكَ بِالإِنْصَافِ.

May he judge your people with righteousness and your poor with justice.

٣ 3 لِتَحْمِلِ الْجِبَالُ لِلشَّعْبِ سَلاماً، وَالتِّلالُ بِرّاً.

May the mountains produce peace for the people; may the hills produce righteousness.

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

May he judge the poor of the people; may he save the children of the needy and break in pieces the oppressor.

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

May they honor you while the sun endures, and as long as the moon lasts throughout all generations.

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

May he come down like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

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

May the righteous flourish in his days, and may there be an abundance of peace till the moon is no more.

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

May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

٩ 9 أَمَامَهُ يَرْكَعُ أَهْلُ الْبَادِيَةِ، وَأَعْدَاؤُهُ يَلْحَسُونَ التُّرَابَ.

May those who live in the wilderness bow down before him; may his enemies lick the dust.

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

May the kings of Tarshish and of the islands render tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.

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

Indeed, may all kings fall down before him; may all nations serve him.

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

For he helps the needy person who cries out and the poor person who has no other helper.

١٣ 13 يَعْطِفُ عَلَى الْفَقِيرِ وَالْمُحْتَاجِ وَيُخَلِّصُ نُفُوسَ الْمَسَاكِينِ.

He has pity on the poor and needy, and he saves the lives of needy people.

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

He redeems their lives from oppression and violence, and their blood is precious in his sight.

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

May he live! May the gold of Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him; may God bless him all day long.

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

May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the mountaintops may their crops wave. May the fruit of it be like Lebanon; may the people flourish in the cities like the grass of the field.

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

May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun; may people be blessed in him; may all nations call him blessed.

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

May Yahweh God, the God of Israel, be blessed, who alone does wonderful things.

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

May his glorious name be blessed forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

٢٠ 20 هُنَا تَنْتَهِي صَلَوَاتُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى.
