Psalms 89

1 Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever; to all generations will I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth.

١ قَصِيدَةٌ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٌ لإِيثَانَ الأَزْرَاحِيِّ أَتَرَنَّمُ بِمَرَاحِمِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُعْلِنُ بِفَمِي أَمَانَتَكَ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ،

2 For I have said: 'For ever is mercy built; in the very heavens Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness.

٢ لأَنِّي قُلْتُ إِنَّ مَرَاحِمَكَ ثَابِتَةٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَقَدْ ثَبَّتَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَمَانَتَكَ.

3 I have made a covenant with My chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant:

٣ قَدْ قُلْتَ: إِنِّي أَقَمْتُ عَهْداً مَعَ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي اخْتَرْتُهُ، أَقْسَمْتُ لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِي.

4 For ever will I establish thy seed, and build up thy throne to all generations.' (Selah)

٤ أُثَبِّتُ نَسْلَكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُبْقِي عَرْشَكَ قَائِماً مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ.

5 So shall the heavens praise Thy wonders, O LORD, Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

٥ السَّمَاوَاتُ نَفْسُهَا تُشِيدُ بِعَجَائِبِكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ، وَالْمَلائِكَةُ الْقِدِّيسُونَ بِأَمَانَتِكَ.

6 For who in the skies can be compared unto the LORD, who among the sons of might can be likened unto the LORD,

٦ فَمَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يُعَادِلُ الرَّبَّ؟ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ مَنْ يُمَاثِلُهُ.

7 A God dreaded in the great council of the holy ones, and feared of all them that are about Him?

٧ إِنَّهُ إِلَهٌ مَهُوبٌ جِدّاً فِي مَحْفَلِ المَلائِكَةِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، وَمَخُوفٌ كَثِيراً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الْمُحِيطِينَ بِهِ.

8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like unto Thee, O LORD? And Thy faithfulness is round about Thee.

٨ مَنْ مِثْلُكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهَ الْجُنُودِ، الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، وَأَمَانَتُكَ مُحِيطَةٌ بِكَ؟

9 Thou rulest the proud swelling of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them.

٩ أَنْتَ مُتَسَلِّطٌ عَلَى هِيَاجِ الْبَحْرِ، فَتُهَدِّئُ أَمْوَاجَهُ عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِهَا.

10 Thou didst crush Rahab, as one that is slain; Thou didst scatter Thine enemies with the arm of Thy strength.

١٠ أَنْتَ سَحَقْتَ قُوَّةَ مِصْرَ فَصَارَتْ كَقَتِيلٍ. وَبَدَّدْتَ أَعْدَاءَكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ الْعَظِيمَةِ.

11 Thine are the heavens, Thine also the earth; the world and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.

١١ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَيْضاً. أَنْتَ مُؤَسِّسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ وَكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا.

12 The north and the south, Thou hast created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Thy name.

١٢ أَنْتَ خَالِقُ الشِّمَالِ وَالْجَنُوبِ، وَبِاسْمِكَ يَتَرَنَّمُ جَبَلَا تَابُورَ وَحَرْمُونَ.

13 Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.

١٣ أَنْتَ ذُو الْقُدْرَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ. يَدُكَ قَوِيَّةٌ وَيُمْنَاكَ رَفِيْعَةٌ.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Thy throne; mercy and truth go before Thee.

١٤ الْبِرُّ وَالْقَضَاءُ قَاعِدَتَا عَرْشِكَ، الرَّحْمَةُ وَالْحَقُّ يَتَقَدَّمَانِ حَضْرَتَكَ.

15 Happy is the people that know the joyful shout; they walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance.

١٥ طُوبَى لِلشَّعْبِ الَّذِي يَسْتَجِيبُ لِهُتَافِ الْبُوقِ فَيَسْلُكُ فِي نُورِ مُحَيَّاكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ.

16 In Thy name do they rejoice all the day; and through Thy righteousness are they exalted.

١٦ بِاسْمِكَ يَبْتَهِجُونَ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبِبِرِّكَ يَسْمُونَ.

17 For Thou art the glory of their strength; and in Thy favour our horn is exalted.

١٧ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ قُوَّتُهُمُ الَّتِي بِها يَفْخَرُونَ، وَبِرِضَاكَ يَعْلُو شَأْنُنَا.

18 For of the LORD is our shield; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

١٨ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ هُوَ حِمَايَتُنَا، وَمَلِكُنَا هُوَ قُدُّوسُ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

19 Then Thou spokest in vision to Thy godly ones, and saidst: 'I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

١٩ فَبِالرُّؤْيَا كَلَّمْتَ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ قَدِيماً وَقُلْتَ لِعَبِيدِكَ الأُمَنَاءِ: هَيَّأْتُ عَوْناً لِلْجَبَّارِ وَرَفَّعْتُ شَابّاً مِنَ الشَّعْبِ.

20 I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him;

٢٠ وَجَدْتُ دَاوُدَ عَبْدِي فَمَسَحْتُهُ بِزَيْتِي الْمُقَدَّسِ.

21 With whom My hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him.

٢١ أُثَبِّتُهُ بِيَدِي، وَأُشَدِّدُهُ بِقُوَّتِي.

22 The enemy shall not exact from him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

٢٢ لَا يَبْتَزُّهُ عَدُوٌّ، وَلَا يُضَايِقُهُ الإِنْسَانُ الأَثِيمُ.

23 And I will beat to pieces his adversaries before him, and smite them that hate him.

٢٣ إِنَّمَا أَسْحَقُ أَعْدَاءَهُ أَمَامَهُ، وَأَصْرَعُ مُبْغِضِيهِ.

24 But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him; and through My name shall his horn be exalted.

٢٤ أَمَانَتِي وَرَحْمَتِي تُرَافِقَانِهِ، وَبِاسْمِي يَعْلُو شَأْنُهُ.

25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.

٢٥ أُطْلِقُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْبِحَارِ وَيَمِينَهُ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ.

26 He shall call unto Me: Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

٢٦ هُوَ يَدْعُونِي قَائِلاً: أَنْتَ أَبِي وَإِلَهِي وَصَخْرَةُ خَلاصِي.

27 I also will appoint him first-born, the highest of the kings of the earth.

٢٧ أُقِيمُهُ بِكْراً يَسْمُو عَلَى مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ.

28 For ever will I keep for him My mercy, and My covenant shall stand fast with him.

٢٨ أَحْفَظُ رَحْمَتِي لَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَثْبُتُ لَهُ عَهْدِي.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

٢٩ أُدِيمُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ نَسْلَهُ وَعَرْشَهُ دَوَامَ السَّمَاوَاتِ.

30 If his children forsake My law, and walk not in Mine ordinances;

٣٠ إِنِ انْحَرَفَ بَنُوهُ عَنْ طَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِي وَلَمْ يَسْلُكُوا وَفْقَ أَحْكَامِي،

31 If they profane My statutes, and keep not My commandments;

٣١ إِنْ نَقَضُوا فَرَائِضِي وَلَمْ يُرَاعُوا وَصَايَايَ،

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.

٣٢ فَإِنِّي أَفْتَقِدُ مَعْصِيَتَهُمْ بِالْعَصَا وَإِثْمَهُمْ بِالْبَلايَا.

33 But My mercy will I not break off from him, nor will I be false to My faithfulness.

٣٣ وَلَكِنِّي لَا أَنْزِعُ رَحْمَتِي عَنْهُ، وَلَا أَنْكُثُ وَعْدِي.

34 My covenant will I not profane, nor alter that which is gone out of My lips.

٣٤ عَهْدِي لَا أَنْقُضُهُ، وَلَا أُبْدِلُ مَا نَطَقَ بِهِ فَمِي.

35 Once have I sworn by My holiness: Surely I will not be false unto David;

٣٥ فَقَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِقَدَاسَتِي مَرَّةً، وَلَا أَكْذِبُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ:

36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.

٣٦ نَسْلُهُ يَدُومُ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ، وَعَرْشُهُ يَبْقَى أَمَامِي بَقَاءَ الشَّمْسِ.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon; and be stedfast as the witness in sky.' (Selah)

٣٧ يَظَلُّ ثَابِتاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ ثَبَاتَ الْقَمَرِ الشَّاهِدِ الأَمِينِ فِي السَّمَاءِ.

38 But Thou hast cast off and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with Thine anointed.

٣٨ لَكِنَّكَ رَفَضْتَ وَرَذَلْتَ وَغَضِبْتَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ،

39 Thou hast abhorred the covenant of Thy servant; Thou hast profaned his crown even to the ground.

٣٩ وَتَنَكَّرْتَ لِعَهْدِكَ مَعَ عَبْدِكَ، لَطَّخْتَ تَاجَهُ بِالتُّرَابِ.

40 Thou hast broken down all his fences; Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.

٤٠ هَدَمْتَ كُلَّ أَسْوَارِهِ وَحَوَّلْتَ حُصُونَهُ خَرَاباً.

41 All that pass by the way spoil him; he is become a taunt to his neighbours.

٤١ نَهَبَهُ كُلُّ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ، وَصَارَ هُزْأَةً عِنْدَ جِيرَانِهِ.

42 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries; Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

٤٢ رَفَعْتَ يَمِينَ ظَالِمِيهِ وَأَبْهَجْتَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ.

43 Yea, Thou turnest back the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

٤٣ رَدَدْتَ حَدَّ سَيْفِهِ، وَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فِي الْقِتَالِ.

44 Thou hast made his brightness to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

٤٤ أَبْطَلْتَ بَهَاءَهُ وَطَرَحْتَ عَرْشَهُ أَرْضاً.

45 The days of his youth hast Thou shortened; Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)

٤٥ قَصَّرْتَ أَيَّامَ شَبَابِهِ وَغَطَّيْتَهُ بِالْخِزْيِ.

46 How long, O LORD, wilt Thou hide Thyself for ever? How long shall Thy wrath burn like fire?

٤٦ حَتَّى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ؟ هَلْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ تَظَلُّ مُحْتَجِباً عَنِّي، يَتَّقِدُ غَضَبُكَ كَالنَّارِ؟

47 O remember how short my time is; for what vanity hast Thou created all the children of men!

٤٧ اذْكُرْ قِصَرَ عُمْرِي وَأَنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ كُلَّ بَنِي آدَمَ لِلزَّوَالِ.

48 What man is he that liveth and shall not see death, that shall deliver his soul from the power of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)

٤٨ أَيُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَحْيَا وَلَا يَرَى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَمَنْ يُنَجِّي نَفْسَهُ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْهَاوِيَةِ؟ (Sheol h7585)

49 Where are Thy former mercies, O Lord, which Thou didst swear unto David in Thy faithfulness?

٤٩ أَيْنَ مَرَاحِمُكَ السَّالِفَةُ يَا رَبُّ، الَّتِي أَقْسَمْتَ فِي أَمَانَتِكَ أَنْ تُظْهِرَهَا لِدَاوُدَ عَبْدِكَ؟

50 Remember, Lord, the taunt of Thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the taunt of so many peoples;

٥٠ اذْكُرْ يَا رَبُّ عَارَ عَبِيدِكَ الَّذِي تَحَمَّلْتُهُ فِي صَدْرِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ،

51 Wherewith Thine enemies have taunted, O LORD, wherewith they have taunted the footsteps of Thine anointed.

٥١ الْعَارَ الَّذِي عَيَّرَنَا بِهِ أَعْدَاؤُكَ يَا رَبُّ، إذْ عَيَّرُوا خَطْوَاتِ الْمَلِكِ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ.

52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

٥٢ تَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. آمِينَ ثُمَّ آمِين.
