Psalms 18
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَارَبُّ، يَا قُوَّتِي. | ١ |
2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
| ٱلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي وَمَلْجَإِي. | ٢ |
3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
| أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ، فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. | ٣ |
4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
| اِكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَسُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي. | ٤ |
| حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ حَاقَتْ بِي. أَشْرَاكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱنْتَشَبَتْ بِي. (Sheol h7585) | ٥ |
6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
| فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي قُدَّامَهُ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
| فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ، أُسُسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ. | ٧ |
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
| صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ. | ٨ |
9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
| طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ٩ |
10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
| رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ وَطَارَ، وَهَفَّ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيَاحِ. | ١٠ |
11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
| جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ سِتْرَهُ. حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّتَهُ ضَبَابَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ. | ١١ |
12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
| مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ عَبَرَتْ سُحُبُهُ. بَرَدٌ وَجَمْرُ نَارٍ. | ١٢ |
13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
| أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ، بَرَدًا وَجَمْرَ نَارٍ. | ١٣ |
14 And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
| أَرْسَلَ سِهَامَهُ فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، وَبُرُوقًا كَثِيرَةً فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ، | ١٤ |
15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy wrath.
| فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِكَ. | ١٥ |
16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
| أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي. نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ. | ١٦ |
17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
| أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي ٱلْقَوِيِّ، وَمِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
| أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي. | ١٨ |
19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
| أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرُّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. | ١٩ |
20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
| يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ لِي. | ٢٠ |
21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
| لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي. | ٢١ |
22 For all his judgments were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
| لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضَهُ لَمْ أُبْعِدْهَا عَنْ نَفْسِي. | ٢٢ |
23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
| وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا مَعَهُ وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ٢٣ |
24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
| فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 With the holy thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
| مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا. | ٢٥ |
26 And with the excellent [man] thou wilt be excellent; and with the perverse thou wilt shew frowardness.
| مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا. | ٢٦ |
27 For thou wilt save the lowly people, and wilt humble the eyes of the proud.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَٱلْأَعْيُنُ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةُ تَضَعُهَا. | ٢٧ |
28 For thou, O Lord, wilt light my lamp: my God, thou wilt lighten my darkness.
| لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُضِيءُ سِرَاجِي. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي يُنِيرُ ظُلْمَتِي. | ٢٨ |
29 For by thee shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
| لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا، وَبِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا. | ٢٩ |
30 [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
| ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ. | ٣٠ |
31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
| لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟ | ٣١ |
32 [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُمَنْطِقُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا. | ٣٢ |
33 who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
| ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفِعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي. | ٣٣ |
34 He instructs my hands for war: and thou hast made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
| ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. | ٣٤ |
35 And thou hast made me secure in my salvation: and thy right hand has helped me, and thy correction has upheld me to the end; yea, thy correction itself shall instruct me.
| وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ وَيَمِينُكَ تَعْضُدُنِي، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي. | ٣٥ |
36 Thou has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
| تُوَسِّعُ خُطُوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ. | ٣٦ |
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
| أَتْبَعُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ. | ٣٧ |
38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
| أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلْقِيَامَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ. | ٣٨ |
39 For thou hast girded me with strength for war: thou hast beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
| تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِقُوَّةٍ لِلْقِتَالِ. تَصْرَعُ تَحْتِي ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. | ٣٩ |
40 And thou has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and thou hast destroyed them that hated me.
| وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي، وَمُبْغِضِيَّ أُفْنِيهِمْ. | ٤٠ |
41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he hearkened not to them.
| يَصْرُخُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. | ٤١ |
42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
| فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَٱلْغُبَارِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَطْرَحُهُمْ. | ٤٢ |
43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: thou shalt make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
| تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ مُخَاصَمَاتِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. تَجْعَلُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي. | ٤٣ |
44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
| مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي. بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي. | ٤٤ |
45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
| بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ. | ٤٥ |
46 The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
| حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفِعٌ إِلَهُ خَلَاصِي، | ٤٦ |
47 [It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلَّذِي يُخْضِعُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ تَحْتِي. | ٤٧ |
48 my deliverer from angry enemies: thou shalt set me on high above them that rise up against me: thou shalt deliver me from the unrighteous man.
| مُنَجِّيَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. رَافِعِي أَيْضًا فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. مِنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلظَّالِمِ تُنْقِذُنِي. | ٤٨ |
49 Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name.
| لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ. | ٤٩ |
50 [God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
| بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ٥٠ |
