المَزامِير 89

١ 1 قَصِيدَةٌ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٌ لإِيثَانَ الأَزْرَاحِيِّ أَتَرَنَّمُ بِمَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُعْلِنُ بِفَمِي أَمَانَتَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ،

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations.

٢ 2 لأَنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّ مَرَاحِمَكَ ثَابِتَةٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَقَدْ ثَبَّتَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَمَانَتَكَ.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: your faithfulness shall you establish in the very heavens.

٣ 3 قَدْ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أَقَمْتُ عَهْداً مَعَ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ، أَقْسَمْتُ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

٤ 4 أُثَبِّتُ نَسْلَكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُبْقِي عَرْشَكَ قَائِماً مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.

Your seed will I establish for ever, and build up your throne to all generations. (Selah)

٥ 5 السَّمَاوَاتُ نَفْسُهَا تُشِيدُ بِعَجَائِبِكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، وَالْمَلائِكَةُ الْقِدِّيسُونَ بِأَمَانَتِكَ.

And the heavens shall praise your wonders, O LORD: your faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

٦ 6 فَمَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يُعَادِلُ الرَّبَّ؟ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ مَنْ يُمَاثِلُهُ.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

٧ 7 إِنَّهُ إِلَهٌ مَهُوبٌ جِدّاً فِي مَحْفَلِ المَلائِكَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَمَخُوفٌ كَثِيراً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ.

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

٨ 8 مَنْ مِثْلُكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، وَأَمَانَتُكَ مُحِيطَةٌ بِكَ؟

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto you? or to your faithfulness round about you?

٩ 9 أَنْتَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى هِيَاجِ الْبَحْرِ، فَتُهَدِّئُ أَمْوَاجَهُ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِهَا.

You rule the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, you still them.

١٠ 10 أَنْتَ سَحَقْتَ قُوَّةَ مِصْرَ فَصَارَتْ كَقَتِيلٍ. وَبَدَّدْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; you have scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

١١ 11 أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَيْضاً. أَنْتَ مُؤَسِّسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا.

The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours: as for the world and the fullness thereof, you have founded them.

١٢ 12 أَنْتَ خَالِقُ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَبِاسْمِكَ يَتَرَنَّمُ جَبَلَا تَابُورَ وَحَرْمُونَ.

The north and the south you have created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in your name.

١٣ 13 أَنْتَ ذُو الْقُدْرَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ. يَدُكَ قَوِيَّةٌ وَيُمْنَاكَ رَفِيْعَةٌ.

You have a mighty arm: strong is your hand, and high is your right hand.

١٤ 14 الْبِرُّ وَالْقَضَاءُ قَاعِدَتَا عَرْشِكَ، الرَّحْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ يَتَقَدَّمَانِ حَضْرَتَكَ.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of your throne: mercy and truth shall go before your face.

١٥ 15 طُوبَى لِلشَّعْبِ الَّذِي يَسْتَجِيبُ لِهُتَافِ الْبُوقِ فَيَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ مُحَيَّاكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance.

١٦ 16 بِاسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبِبِرِّكَ يَسْمُونَ.

In your name shall they rejoice all the day: and in your righteousness shall they be exalted.

١٧ 17 فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ قُوَّتُهُمُ الَّتِي بِها يَفْخَرُونَ، وَبِرِضَاكَ يَعْلُو شَأْنُنَا.

For you are the glory of their strength: and in your favour our horn shall be exalted.

١٨ 18 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِمَايَتُنَا، وَمَلِكُنَا هُوَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

١٩ 19 فَبِالرُّؤْيَا كَلَّمْتَ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ قَدِيماً وَقُلْتَ لِعَبِيدِكَ الأُمَنَاءِ: هَيَّأْتُ عَوْناً لِلْجَبَّارِ وَرَفَّعْتُ شَابّاً مِنَ الشَّعْبِ.

Then you spoke in vision to your holy one, and said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

٢٠ 20 وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي فَمَسَحْتُهُ بِزَيْتِي الْمُقَدَّسِ.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

٢١ 21 أُثَبِّتُهُ بِيَدِي، وَأُشَدِّدُهُ بِقُوَّتِي.

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

٢٢ 22 لَا يَبْتَزُّهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَلَا يُضَايِقُهُ الإِنْسَانُ الأَثِيمُ.

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

٢٣ 23 إِنَّمَا أَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَهُ، وَأَصْرَعُ مُبْغِضِيهِ.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

٢٤ 24 أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي تُرَافِقَانِهِ، وَبِاسْمِي يَعْلُو شَأْنُهُ.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

٢٥ 25 أُطْلِقُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبِحَارِ وَيَمِينَهُ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

٢٦ 26 هُوَ يَدْعُونِي قَائِلاً: أَنْتَ أَبِي وَإِلَهِي وَصَخْرَةُ خَلاصِي.

He shall cry unto me, You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

٢٧ 27 أُقِيمُهُ بِكْراً يَسْمُو عَلَى مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ.

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

٢٨ 28 أَحْفَظُ رَحْمَتِي لَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَثْبُتُ لَهُ عَهْدِي.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

٢٩ 29 أُدِيمُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ دَوَامَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

٣٠ 30 إِنِ انْحَرَفَ بَنُوهُ عَنْ طَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا وَفْقَ أَحْكَامِي،

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

٣١ 31 إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يُرَاعُوا وَصَايَايَ،

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

٣٢ 32 فَإِنِّي أَفْتَقِدُ مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ بِالْعَصَا وَإِثْمَهُمْ بِالْبَلايَا.

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

٣٣ 33 وَلَكِنِّي لَا أَنْزِعُ رَحْمَتِي عَنْهُ، وَلَا أَنْكُثُ وَعْدِي.

Nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

٣٤ 34 عَهْدِي لَا أَنْقُضُهُ، وَلَا أُبْدِلُ مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ فَمِي.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

٣٥ 35 فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِقَدَاسَتِي مَرَّةً، وَلَا أَكْذِبُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ:

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

٣٦ 36 نَسْلُهُ يَدُومُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ، وَعَرْشُهُ يَبْقَى أَمَامِي بَقَاءَ الشَّمْسِ.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

٣٧ 37 يَظَلُّ ثَابِتاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ ثَبَاتَ الْقَمَرِ الشَّاهِدِ الأَمِينِ فِي السَّمَاءِ.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. (Selah)

٣٨ 38 لَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ،

But you have cast off and abhorred, you have been angry with your anointed.

٣٩ 39 وَتَنَكَّرْتَ لِعَهْدِكَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، لَطَّخْتَ تَاجَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ.

You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

٤٠ 40 هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ أَسْوَارِهِ وَحَوَّلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَاباً.

You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strong holds to ruin.

٤١ 41 نَهَبَهُ كُلُّ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ، وَصَارَ هُزْأَةً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِهِ.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

٤٢ 42 رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ ظَالِمِيهِ وَأَبْهَجْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ.

You have set up the right hand of his adversaries; you have made all his enemies to rejoice.

٤٣ 43 رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

You have also turned the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle.

٤٤ 44 أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ وَطَرَحْتَ عَرْشَهُ أَرْضاً.

You have made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

٤٥ 45 قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ وَغَطَّيْتَهُ بِالْخِزْيِ.

The days of his youth have you shortened: you have covered him with shame. (Selah)

٤٦ 46 حَتَّى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ؟ هَلْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَظَلُّ مُحْتَجِباً عَنِّي، يَتَّقِدُ غَضَبُكَ كَالنَّارِ؟

How long, LORD? will you hide yourself for ever? shall your wrath burn like fire?

٤٧ 47 اذْكُرْ قِصَرَ عُمْرِي وَأَنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ كُلَّ بَنِي آدَمَ لِلزَّوَالِ.

Remember how short my time is: wherefore have you made all men in vain?

٤٨ 48 أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَحْيَا وَلَا يَرَى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَمَنْ يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْهَاوِيَةِ؟ (Sheol h7585)

What man is he that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

٤٩ 49 أَيْنَ مَرَاحِمُكَ السَّالِفَةُ يَا رَبُّ، الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتَ فِي أَمَانَتِكَ أَنْ تُظْهِرَهَا لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ؟

Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you sware unto David in your truth?

٥٠ 50 اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ عَارَ عَبِيدِكَ الَّذِي تَحَمَّلْتُهُ فِي صَدْرِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ،

Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

٥١ 51 الْعَارَ الَّذِي عَيَّرَنَا بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَا رَبُّ، إذْ عَيَّرُوا خَطْوَاتِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ.

Wherewith your enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of your anointed.

٥٢ 52 تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِين.

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
