المَزامِير 84

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْجَتِّيَّةِ مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ مَا أَحْلَى مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ!

[For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] How lovely are your dwellings, YHWH of hosts.

٢ 2 تَتُوقُ بَلْ تَحِنُّ نَفْسِي إِلَى دِيَارِ الرَّبِّ. قَلْبِي وَجِسْمِي يُرَنِّمَانِ بِفَرَحٍ لِلإِلَهِ الْحَيِّ.

My soul longs, yes, yearns for the courts of YHWH. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

٣ 3 الْعُصْفُورُ أَيْضاً وَجَدَ لَهُ وَكْراً، وَالْيَمَامَةُ عَثَرَتْ لِنَفْسِهَا عَلَى عُشٍّ تَضَعُ فِيهِ فِرَاخَهَا، بِجِوَارِ مَذَابِحِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، يَا مَلِكِي وَإِلَهِي.

Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, YHWH of hosts, my King, and my God.

٤ 4 طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي بَيْتِكَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ دَائِماً.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are ever praising you. (Selah)

٥ 5 طُوبَى لأُنَاسٍ أَنْتَ قُوَّتُهُمْ. الْمُتَلَهِّفُونَ لاتِّبَاعِ طُرُقِكَ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ المُقَدَّسِ.

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

٦ 6 وَإِذْ يَعْبُرُونَ فِي وَادِي الْبَكَا الْجَافِّ، يَجْعَلُونَهُ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ، وَيَغْمُرُهُمُ الْمَطَرُ الْخَرِيفِيُّ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ.

Passing through the Valley of Baca, he makes it into a spring. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

٧ 7 يَنْمُونَ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ إِلَى قُوَّةٍ، إِذْ يَمْثُلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَمَامَ اللهِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ.

They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion.

٨ 8 يَا رَبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ اسْمَعْ صَلاتِي، وَأَصْغِ إِلَيَّ يَا إِلَهَ يَعْقُوبَ.

YHWH, the God of hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)

٩ 9 يَا اللهُ مِجَنَّنَا، انْظُرْ بِعَيْنِ الرَّحْمَةِ إِلَى مَنْ مَسَحْتَهُ مَلِكاً.

Look, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

١٠ 10 إِنَّ يَوْماً وَاحِداً أَقْضِيهِ دَاخِلَ دِيَارِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ خَارِجَهَا. اخْتَرْتُ أَنْ أَقِفَ عَلَى الْعَتَبَةِ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِي عَلَى السَّكَنِ فِي خِيَامِ الأَشْرَارِ.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

١١ 11 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ شَمْسٌ وَتُرْسٌ. الرَّبُّ يُعْطِي نِعْمَةً وَمَجْداً؛ لَا يَمْنَعُ أَيَّ خَيْرٍ عَنِ السَّالِكِينَ بِالاسْتِقَامَةِ.

For YHWH God is a sun and a shield. YHWH will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

١٢ 12 يَا رَبَّ الْجُنُودِ، طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الْمُتَّكِلِ عَلَيْكَ.

YHWH of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
