< Psalms 72 >

1 Of Solomon. Give the king your authority, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son.
لِسُلَيْمَانَ اَللَّهُمَّ، أَعْطِ أَحْكَامَكَ لِلْمَلِكِ، وَبِرَّكَ لِٱبْنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ.١
2 May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor.
يَدِينُ شَعْبَكَ بِٱلْعَدْلِ، وَمَسَاكِينَكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ.٢
3 May the mountains give peace to the people, and the hills righteousness.
تَحْمِلُ ٱلْجِبَالُ سَلَامًا لِلشَّعْبِ، وَٱلْآكَامُ بِٱلْبِرِّ.٣
4 May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.
يَقْضِي لِمَسَاكِينِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. يُخَلِّصُ بَنِي ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، وَيَسْحَقُ ٱلظَّالِمَ.٤
5 May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.
يَخْشَوْنَكَ مَا دَامَتِ ٱلشَّمْسُ، وَقُدَّامَ ٱلْقَمَرِ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.٥
6 May he come down like rain on the cut grass; like showers watering the earth.
يَنْزِلُ مِثْلَ ٱلْمَطَرِ عَلَى ٱلْجُزَازِ، وَمِثْلَ ٱلْغُيُوثِ ٱلذَّارِفَةِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.٦
7 In his days may the upright do well, living in peace as long as there is a moon in heaven.
يُشْرِقُ فِي أَيَّامِهِ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ، وَكَثْرَةُ ٱلسَّلَامِ إِلَى أَنْ يَضْمَحِلَّ ٱلْقَمَرُ.٧
8 Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
وَيَمْلِكُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ إِلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَمِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ.٨
9 Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.
أَمَامَهُ تَجْثُو أَهْلُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَأَعْدَاؤُهُ يَلْحَسُونَ ٱلتُّرَابَ.٩
10 Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.
مُلُوكُ تَرْشِيشَ وَٱلْجَزَائِرِ يُرْسِلُونَ تَقْدِمَةً. مُلُوكُ شَبَا وَسَبَإٍ يُقَدِّمُونَ هَدِيَّةً.١٠
11 Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.
وَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ كُلُّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ. كُلُّ ٱلْأُمَمِ تَتَعَبَّدُ لَهُ.١١
12 For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.
لِأَنَّهُ يُنَجِّي ٱلْفَقِيرَ ٱلْمُسْتَغِيثَ، وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ إِذْ لَا مُعِينَ لَهُ.١٢
13 He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.
يُشْفِقُ عَلَى ٱلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْبَائِسِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ أَنْفُسَ ٱلْفُقَرَاءِ.١٣
14 He will keep their souls free from evil designs and violent attacks; and their blood will be of value in his eyes.
مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَٱلْخَطْفِ يَفْدِي أَنْفُسَهُمْ، وَيُكْرَمُ دَمُهُمْ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ.١٤
15 May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.
وَيَعِيشُ وَيُعْطِيهِ مِنْ ذَهَبِ شَبَا. وَيُصَلِّي لِأَجْلِهِ دَائِمًا. ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ يُبَارِكُهُ.١٥
16 May there be wide-stretching fields of grain in the land, shaking on the top of the mountains, full of fruit like Lebanon: may its stems be unnumbered like the grass of the earth.
تَكُونُ حُفْنَةُ بُرٍّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي رُؤُوسِ ٱلْجِبَالِ. تَتَمَايَلُ مِثْلَ لُبْنَانَ ثَمَرَتُهَا، وَيُزْهِرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِثْلَ عُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٦
17 May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.
يَكُونُ ٱسْمُهُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّمْسِ يَمْتَدُّ ٱسْمُهُ، وَيَتَبَارَكُونَ بِهِ. كُلُّ أُمَمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يُطَوِّبُونَهُ.١٧
18 Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.
مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱللهُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱلصَّانِعُ ٱلْعَجَائِبَ وَحْدَهُ.١٨
19 Praise to the glory of his noble name for ever; let all the earth be full of his glory. So be it, So be it.
وَمُبَارَكٌ ٱسْمُ مَجْدِهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ، وَلْتَمْتَلِئِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مِنْ مَجْدِهِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِينَ.١٩
20 The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
تَمَّتْ صَلَوَاتُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ يَسَّى٢٠
