Psalms 18
1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. لِعَبْدِ الرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ. قَصِيدَةٌ خَاطَبَ بِها الرَّبَّ يَوْمَ أَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَا رَبُّ، يَا قُوَّتِي. | ١ |
2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.
| الرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَرُكْنُ خَلاصِي، وَقَلْعَتِي الْحَصِينَةُ. | ٢ |
3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
| أَدْعُو الرَّبَّ الْجَدِيرَ بِكُلِّ حَمْدٍ فَيُخَلِّصُنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. | ٣ |
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
| قَدْ أَحْدَقَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَفْزَعَتْنِي سُيُولُ الْهَلاكِ. | ٤ |
| أَحَاطَتْ بِي حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَأَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فِخَاخُ الْمَوْتِ. (Sheol h7585) | ٥ |
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears.
| فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ وَصَرَخْتُ إِلَى إِلَهِي، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ، وَصَعِدَ صُرَاخِي أَمَامَهُ، بَلْ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ ارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَتَزَلْزَلَتْ. ارْتَجَفَتْ أَسَاسَاتُ الْجِبَالِ وَاهْتَزَّتْ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ غَضِبَ. | ٧ |
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
| نَفَثَ أَنْفُهُ دُخَاناً، وَانْقَذَفَتْ نَارٌ آكِلَةٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ، وَكَأَنَّهَا جَمْرٌ مُلْتَهِبٌ. | ٨ |
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet.
| طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، فَكَانَتِ الْغُيُومُ الْمُتَجَهِّمَةُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٩ |
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
| امْتَطَى مَرْكَبَةً مِنْ مَلائِكَةِ الْكَرُوبِيمِ، وَطَارَ مُسْرِعاً عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيْاحِ. | ١٠ |
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
| جَعَلَ الظُّلْمَةَ سِتَاراً لَهُ، وَصَارَ ضَبَابُ الْمِيَاهِ وَسُحُبُ الْسَّمَاءِ الدَّاكِنَةُ مِظَلَّتَهُ الْمُحِيطَةَ بِهِ. | ١١ |
12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
| مِنْ بَهَاءِ طَلْعَتِهِ عَبَرَتِ السُّحُبُ أَمَامَهُ. حَدَثَتْ عَاصِفَةُ بَرَدٍ وَبَرْقٍ كَالْجَمْرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ. | ١٢ |
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
| أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، أَطْلَقَ الْعَلِيُّ صَوْتَهُ فَانْهَمَرَ بَرَدٌ، وَانْدَلَعَتْ نَارُ! | ١٣ |
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
| أَطْلَقَ سِهَامَهُ فَبَدَّدَ أَعْدَائِي، وَأَرْسَلَ بُرُوقَهُ فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
| ظَهَرَتْ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ الْعَمِيقَةِ، وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَمِنْ أَنْفِكَ اللّافِحَةِ. | ١٥ |
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
| مَدَّ الرَّبُّ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْعُلَى وَأَمْسَكَنِي، وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنَ السُّيُولِ الْغَامِرَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
| أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي الْقَويِّ، وَمِنَ مُبْغِضِيَّ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَقْوَى مِنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
| تَصَدَّوْا لِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، فَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي، | ١٨ |
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
| وَاقْتَادَنِي إِلَى مَكَانٍ رَحِيبٍ. أَنْقَذَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي. | ١٩ |
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
| يُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى بِرِّي وَيُعَوِّضُنِي حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ، | ٢٠ |
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
| لأَنِّي سَلَكْتُ دَائِماً فِي طُرُقِ الرَّبِّ وَلَمْ أَعْصَ إِلَهِي. | ٢١ |
22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
| جَعَلْتُ أَحْكَامَهُ دَائِماً نُصْبَ عَيْنَيَّ، وَلَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ فَرَائِضِهِ. | ٢٢ |
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
| وَأَكُونُ مَعَهُ كَامِلاً وَأَصُونُ نَفْسِي مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ٢٣ |
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
| فَيُكَافِئُنِي الرَّبُّ وَفْقاً لِبِرِّي، بِحَسَبِ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٢٤ |
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
| مَعَ الرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيماً، وَمَعَ الْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلاً، | ٢٥ |
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
| وَمَعَ الطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِراً، وَمَعَ الْمُعْوَجِّ تَكُونُ مُعْوَجّاً. | ٢٦ |
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
| لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ الشَّعْبَ الْمُتَضَايِقَ، أَمَّا الْمُتَرَفِّعُونَ فَتَخْفِضُ عُيُونَهُمْ. | ٢٧ |
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
| لأَنَّكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي تَضِيءُ مِصْبَاحِي، وَتُحَوِّلُ ظَلامِي نُوراً | ٢٨ |
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
| لأَنِّي بِكَ اقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشاً، وَبِمَعُونَةِ إِلَهِي اخْتَرَقْتُ أَسْوَاراً. | ٢٩ |
30 [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
| مَا أَكْمَلَ طَرِيقَ الرَّبِّ! إِنَّ كَلِمَتَهُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَهُوَ تُرْسٌ يَحْمِي جَمِيعَ الْمُلْتَجِئِينَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٣٠ |
31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God?
| فَمَنْ هُوَ إِلْهٌ غَيْرُ الرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟ | ٣١ |
32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
| يَشُدُّنِي اللهُ بِحِزامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ، وَيَجْعَلُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلاً، | ٣٢ |
33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet], and setteth me upon my high places.
| يُثَبِّتُ قَدَمَيَّ كَأَقْدَامِ الإيَّلِ وَيُصْعِدُنِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي الْوَعِرَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
| يُدَرِّبُ يَدَيَّ عَلَى فَنِّ الْحَرْبِ، فَتَشُدُّ ذِرَاعَايَ قَوْساً مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. | ٣٤ |
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
| تَجْعَلُ أَيْضاً خَلاصَكَ تُرْساً لِي، فَتُعَضِّدُنِي بِيَمِينِكَ، وَيُعَظِّمُنِي لُطْفُكَ. | ٣٥ |
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
| وَسَّعْتَ طَرِيقِي تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ. | ٣٦ |
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
| أُطَارِدُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُبِيدَهُمْ. | ٣٧ |
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
| أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النُّهُوضَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ. | ٣٨ |
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
| تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِحِزَامٍ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ تَأَهُّباً لِلْقِتَالِ. تُخْضِعُ لِسُلْطَانِي الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ. | ٣٩ |
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
| يُوَلُّونَ الأَدْبَارَ هَرَباً أَمَامِي. وَأُفْنِي الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَنِي. | ٤٠ |
41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
| يَسْتَغِيثُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. يُنَادُونَ الرَّبَّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ. | ٤١ |
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
| فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَالْغُبَارِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ، وَأَطْرَحُهُمْ مِثْلَ الطِّينِ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ. | ٤٢ |
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me.
| تُنْقِذُنِي مِنْ ثَوْرَاتِ الشَّعْبِ، وَتَجْعَلُنِي سَيِّداً لِلأُمَمِ، حَتَّى صَارَ شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ عَبْداً يَخْدِمُنِي. | ٤٣ |
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
| فَمَا إِنْ يَسْمَعُوا أَمْرِي حَتَّى يُلَبُّوهُ. الْغُرَبَاءُ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي | ٤٤ |
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
| الْغُرَبَاءُ يَخُورُونَ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ مُرْتَعِدِينَ. | ٤٥ |
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
| حَيٌّ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُتَعَالٍ إِلَهُ خَلاصِي، | ٤٦ |
47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
| الإِلَهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، يُخْضِعُ الشُّعُوبَ لِسُلْطَانِي، | ٤٧ |
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
| مُنْقِذِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، رَافِعِي عَلَى الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ عَلَيَّ، وَمِنَ الرَّجُلِ الطَّاغِي تُخَلِّصُنِي. | ٤٨ |
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
| لِهَذَا أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ وَأُرَتِّلُ لاِسْمِكَ. | ٤٩ |
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
| يَا مَانِحَ الْخَلاصِ الْعَظِيمِ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَصَانِعَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٥٠ |
