المَزامِير 89

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

A maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of Yahweh's acts of covenant faithfulness forever. I will proclaim your truthfulness to future generations.

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

For I have said, “Covenant faithfulness has been established forever; your truthfulness you have established in the heavens.”

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

“I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have made an oath to David my servant.

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

I will establish your descendants forever, and I will establish your throne through all generations.” (Selah)

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

The heavens praise your wonders, Yahweh; your truthfulness is praised in the assembly of the holy ones.

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

For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the gods is like Yahweh?

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

He is a God who is greatly honored in the council of the holy ones and is awesome among all who surround him.

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

Yahweh God of hosts, who is strong like you, Yahweh? Your truthfulness surrounds you.

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

You rule the raging sea; when the waves surge, you calm them.

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

You crushed Rahab as one who is killed. You scattered your enemies with your strong arm.

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

The heavens belong to you, and the earth also. You made the world and all it contains.

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

You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.

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

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

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

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Covenant faithfulness and trustworthiness come before you.

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

Blessed are the people who worship you! Yahweh, they walk in the light of your face.

١٦ 16 بِاسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبِبِرِّكَ يَسْمُونَ.

They rejoice in your name all day long, and in your righteousness they exalt you.

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

You are their majestic strength, and by your favor we are victorious.

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

For our shield belongs to Yahweh; our king belongs to the Holy One of Israel.

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

Long ago you spoke in a vision to your faithful ones; you said, “I have set a crown on a mighty one.” I have raised up one chosen from among the people.

٢٠ 20 وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي فَمَسَحْتُهُ بِزَيْتِي الْمُقَدَّسِ.

I have chosen David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.

٢١ 21 أُثَبِّتُهُ بِيَدِي، وَأُشَدِّدُهُ بِقُوَّتِي.

My hand will support him; my arm will strengthen him.

٢٢ 22 لَا يَبْتَزُّهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَلَا يُضَايِقُهُ الإِنْسَانُ الأَثِيمُ.

No enemy will deceive him; no son of wickedness will oppress him.

٢٣ 23 إِنَّمَا أَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَهُ، وَأَصْرَعُ مُبْغِضِيهِ.

I will crush his enemies before him; I will kill those who hate him.

٢٤ 24 أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي تُرَافِقَانِهِ، وَبِاسْمِي يَعْلُو شَأْنُهُ.

My truth and my covenant faithfulness will be with him; by my name he will be victorious.

٢٥ 25 أُطْلِقُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبِحَارِ وَيَمِينَهُ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ.

I will place his hand over the sea and his right hand over the rivers.

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

He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.'

٢٧ 27 أُقِيمُهُ بِكْراً يَسْمُو عَلَى مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ.

I also will place him as my firstborn son, the most exalted of the kings of the earth.

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

I will extend my covenant faithfulness to him forever; and my covenant with him will be secure.

٢٩ 29 أُدِيمُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ دَوَامَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

I will make his descendants endure forever and his throne as enduring as the skies above.

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

If his children forsake my law and do not walk in my regulations,

٣١ 31 إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يُرَاعُوا وَصَايَايَ،

if they break my rules and do not keep my commands,

٣٢ 32 فَإِنِّي أَفْتَقِدُ مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ بِالْعَصَا وَإِثْمَهُمْ بِالْبَلايَا.

then will I punish their rebellion with a rod and their iniquity with blows.

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

But I will not remove my steadfast love from him or be unfaithful to my promise.

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

I will not break my covenant or change the words of my lips.

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

Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness— I will not lie to David:

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

his descendants will continue forever and his throne as long as the sun before me.

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

It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)

٣٨ 38 لَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ،

But you have refused and rejected; you have been angry with your anointed king.

٣٩ 39 وَتَنَكَّرْتَ لِعَهْدِكَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، لَطَّخْتَ تَاجَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ.

You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have desecrated his crown on the ground.

٤٠ 40 هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ أَسْوَارِهِ وَحَوَّلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَاباً.

You have broken down all his walls. You have ruined his strongholds.

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

All who pass by have robbed him. He has become an object of disgust to his neighbors.

٤٢ 42 رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ ظَالِمِيهِ وَأَبْهَجْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ.

You have raised the right hand of his enemies; you have made all his enemies rejoice.

٤٣ 43 رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

You turn back the edge of his sword and have not made him stand when in battle.

٤٤ 44 أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ وَطَرَحْتَ عَرْشَهُ أَرْضاً.

You have brought his splendor to an end; you have brought down his throne to the ground.

٤٥ 45 قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ وَغَطَّيْتَهُ بِالْخِزْيِ.

You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame. (Selah)

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

How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself, forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

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

Oh, think about how short my time is, and for what uselessness you have created all the children of mankind!

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

Who can live and not die, or rescue his own life from the hand of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

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

Lord, where are your former acts of covenant faithfulness that you swore to David in your truthfulness?

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

Call to mind, Lord, the mocking directed against your servants and how I bear in my heart so many insults from the nations.

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

Your enemies hurl insults, Yahweh; they mock the footsteps of your anointed one.

٥٢ 52 تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِين.

Blessed be Yahweh forever. Amen and Amen.
