١ 1 هَيَّا نُرَنِّمُ عَالِياً لِلرَّبِّ، وَنَهْتِفُ فَرَحاً لِصَخْرَةِ خَلاصِنَا.

Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

٢ 2 لِنَتَقَدَّمْ أَمَامَ حَضْرَتِهِ بِالشُّكْرِ، وَنَهْتِفْ لَهُ بِالتَّرْنِيمِ.

Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

٣ 3 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهٌ عَظِيمٌ، وَمَلِكٌ كَبِيرٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الآلِهَةِ.

For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods.

٤ 4 فِي يَدِهِ أَعْمَاقُ الأَرْضِ، وَقِمَمُ الْجِبَالِ مِلْكٌ لَهُ.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

٥ 5 لَهُ الْبَحْرُ، وَهُوَ قَدْ صَنَعَهُ، وَيَدَاهُ كَوَّنَتَا الْيَابِسَةَ.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

٦ 6 تَعَالَوْا نَسْجُدُ وَنَنْحَنِي، لِنَرْكَعْ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ صَانِعِنَا،

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,

٧ 7 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ إِلَهُنَا، وَنَحْنُ رَعِيَّتُهُ وَقَطِيعُهُ الَّذِي يَقُودُهُ بِيَدِهِ. الْيَوْمَ إِنْ سَمِعْتُمْ صَوْتَهُ،

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

٨ 8 فَلَا تُقَسُّوا قُلُوبَكُمْ، كَمَا حَدَثَ فِي يَوْمِ مَسَّةَ (أَيْ الامْتِحَانِ) فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ،

Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

٩ 9 عِنْدَمَا امْتَحَنَنِي آبَاؤُكُمْ وَاخْتَبَرُونِي وَشَهِدُوا جَمِيعَ عَجَائِبِي.

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

١٠ 10 أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً رَفَضْتُ ذَلِكَ الْجِيلَ، وَقُلْتُ: «هُمْ شَعْبٌ أَضَلَّتْهُمْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا قَطُّ طُرُقِي».

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

١١ 11 فَأَقْسَمْتُ فِي غَضَبِي قَائِلاً: «إِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَانَ رَاحَتِي».

Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
