يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ الانْتِقَامِ، فَتَجَلَّ بِغَضَبِكَ. ١ 1
LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
قُمْ يَا دَيَّانَ الأَرْضِ وَجَازِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِهِمْ. ٢ 2
Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ يَشْمَتُ الأَشْرَارُ فَرِحِينَ؟ ٣ 3
LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
إِلَى مَتَى يَهْذِرُ عُمَّالُ الإِثْمِ وَيَتَوَاقَحُونَ وَيَتَبَاهَوْنَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ؟ ٤ 4
They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
يَسْحَقُونَ شَعْبَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَهُ، ٥ 5
They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
يَقْتُلُونَ الأَرْمَلَةَ وَالْغَرِيبَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ الْيَتِيمَ. ٦ 6
They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
وَيَقُولُونَ: «الرَّبُّ لَا يَرَى هَذَا، وَإِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يُبَالِي». ٧ 7
They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
افْهَمُوا يَا أَغْبِيَاءَ الشَّعْبِ! يَا جُهَّالُ مَتَى تَتَعَقَّلُونَ؟ ٨ 8
Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
صَانِعُ الأُذُنِ أَلَا يَسْمَعُ؟ جَابِلُ الْعَيْنِ أَلَا يُبْصِرُ؟ ٩ 9
He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
مُؤَدِّبُ الأُمَمِ أَلَا يَزْجُرُ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ الإِنْسَانَ الْحِكْمَةَ؟ ١٠ 10
He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
الرَّبُّ يَعْلَمُ أَفْكَارَ الإِنْسَانِ وَيَعْرِفُ أَنَّهَا بَاطِلَةٌ. ١١ 11
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي تُؤَدِّبُهُ، وَتُعَلِّمُهُ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ يَا رَبُّ! ١٢ 12
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law,
لِتُرِيحَهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ السُّوءِ، إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ الشِّرِّيرُ وَيَتَوَارَى فِي مَثْواهُ. ١٣ 13
that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
لَا يَرْفُضُ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلَا يَنْبِذُ خَاصَّتَهُ. ١٤ 14
For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
لأَنَّ القَضَاءَ يُصْبِحُ عَدْلاً وَيُحِبُّهُ جَمِيعُ الْمُسْتَقِيمِي الْقُلُوبِ. ١٥ 15
For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
مَنْ يَتَوَلَّى عَنِّي مُحَارَبَةَ الأَشْرَارِ؟ مَنْ يُجَابِهُ عَنِّي فَاعِلِي الإِثْمِ؟ ١٦ 16
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الرَّبُّ مُعِينِي لَسَكَنَتْ نَفْسِي الْقَبْرَ. ١٧ 17
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
قُلْتُ: قَدْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي. وَلَكِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ يَا رَبُّ صَارَتْ لِي سَنَداً. ١٨ 18
When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.
عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ هُمُومِي فِي دَاخِلِي تَبْتَهِجُ نَفْسِي بِتَعْزِيَاتِكَ. ١٩ 19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
أَيُحَالِفُكَ مَلِكُ الشَّرِّ الْمُخْتَلِقُ إثْماً لِيَجْعَلَ الظُّلْمَ شَرِيعَةً لِلْقَضَاءِ؟ ٢٠ 20
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
يَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعاً لِلْقَضَاءِ عَلَى حَيَاةِ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَيَحْكُمُونَ عَلَى الْبَرِيءِ بِالْمَوْتِ. ٢١ 21
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
وَلَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِصْنِي الْمَنِيعُ؛ إِلَهِي هُوَ الصَّخْرَةُ الَّتِي بِها أَحْتَمِي. ٢٢ 22
But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَنَا يُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى إِثْمِهِمْ، وَيُبِيدُهُمْ بِشَرِّهِمْ. ٢٣ 23
He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
