المَزامِير 89

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

Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy 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: thy faithfulness shalt thou 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.

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

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

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy 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 thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

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

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

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

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

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

The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

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

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

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

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high is thy right hand.

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

Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy 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 thy countenance.

١٦ 16 بِاسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبِبِرِّكَ يَسْمُونَ.

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

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

For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy 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 thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, 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, Thou [art] 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 lovingkindness 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 thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

٣٩ 39 وَتَنَكَّرْتَ لِعَهْدِكَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، لَطَّخْتَ تَاجَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.

٤٠ 40 هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ أَسْوَارِهِ وَحَوَّلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَاباً.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast 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.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

٤٣ 43 رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

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

٤٤ 44 أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ وَطَرَحْتَ عَرْشَهُ أَرْضاً.

Thou hast 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 hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)

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

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

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

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou 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] liveth, 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] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which] thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

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

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy 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 thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

٥٢ 52 تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِين.

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