المَزامِير 9

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الْمِزْمَارِ مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ أَحْمَدُ الرَّبَّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي. أُحَدِّثُ بِجَمِيعِ مُعْجِزَاتِكَ.

For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvellous works.

٢ 2 أَفْرَحُ بِكَ وَأَبْتَهِجُ. أُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ أَيُّهَا العَلِيُّ.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

٣ 3 عِنْدَمَا يَتَقَهْقَرُ أَعْدَائِي إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ، يَتَعَثَّرُونَ وَيَهْلِكُونَ أَمَامَ وَجْهِكَ،

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

٤ 4 لأَنَّكَ بَرَّأْتَنِي وَدَافَعْتَ عَنْ قَضِيَّتِي، إِذْ جَلَسْتَ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ لِتَقْضِيَ بِالْعَدْلِ.

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

٥ 5 زَجَرْتَ الشُّعُوبَ وَأَهْلَكْتَ الشِّرِّيرَ، مَحَوْتَ اسْمَهُمْ إِلَى أَبَدِ الدُّهُورِ.

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

٦ 6 أَفْنَيْتَ الْعَدُوَّ إِفْنَاءً. دَمَّرْتَ مُدُنَهُمْ حَتَّى بَادَ ذِكْرُهُمْ.

The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

٧ 7 أَمَّا الرَّبُّ فَإِلَى الأَبَدِ يَمْلِكُ. ثَبَّتَ عَرْشَهُ لِلْقَضَاءِ.

But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgement.

٨ 8 يَدِينُ الْعَالَمَ بِالْعَدْلِ وَيَقْضِي بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ بِالإِنْصَافِ.

He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgement to the peoples in uprightness.

٩ 9 وَيَكُونُ الرَّبُّ مَلْجَأً لِلْمَظْلُومِ، حِصْناً فِي أَزْمِنَةِ الضِّيقِ.

The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

١٠ 10 وَيَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَ اسْمَكَ، لأَنَّكَ يَا رَبُّ لَمْ تَخْذِلْ طَالِبِيكَ.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

١١ 11 أَشِيدُوا بِالْحَمْدِ لِلرَّبِّ الْمُتَوَّجِ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، أَذِيعُوا بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ أَعْمَالَهُ الْعَظِيمَةَ.

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare amongst the people what he has done.

١٢ 12 فَهُوَ الَّذِي يَثْأَرُ لِلدِّمَاءِ. لَا يَنْسَى وَلَا يَتَجَاهَلُ صُرَاخَ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ.

For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

١٣ 13 ارْحَمْنِي يَا رَبُّ. انْظُرْ مَذَلَّتِي الَّتِي يَسُومُنِي إِيَّاهَا مُبْغِضِيَّ، يَا مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَوْتِ،

Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,

١٤ 14 لِكَيْ أُحَدِّثَ بِجَمِيعِ تَسَابِيحِكَ فِي أَبْوَابِ سَاكِنِي صِهْيَوْنَ، مُبْتَهِجاً بِخَلاصِكَ.

that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

١٥ 15 لَقَدْ هَوَتِ الشُّعُوبُ فِي أَعْمَاقِ الحُفْرَةِ الَّتِي حَفَرُوهَا، وَأَطْبَقَ الْفَخُّ الَّذِي نَصَبُوهُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمْ.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

١٦ 16 الرَّبُّ مَعْرُوفٌ بِعَدْلِهِ، قَضَى أَنْ يَقَعَ الشِّرِّيرُ فِي شَرَكِ أَعْمَالِهِ.

The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgement. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)

١٧ 17 مَآلُ الأَشْرَارِ إِلَى الْجَحِيمِ. وَكَذَلِكَ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ النَّاسِينَ اللهَ. (Sheol h7585)

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)

١٨ 18 أَمَّا الْمُحْتَاجُ الْمُتَضَايِقُ فَلَنْ يُنْسَى إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَرَجَاءُ الْمَسَاكِينِ لَنْ يَخِيبَ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

١٩ 19 قُمْ يَا رَبُّ. لَا تَدَعِ الإِنْسَانَ يَسُودُ، وَلْتُحَاكَمِ الأُمَمُ أَمَامَ حَضْرَتِكَ.

Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

٢٠ 20 أَلْقِ فِي قُلُوبِهِمِ الرُّعْبَ فَتَعْلَمَ الأُمَمُ أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا سِوَى بَشَرٍ.

Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
