Psalms 40
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,
| لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ انْتَظَرْتُ الرَّبَّ صَابِراً، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُرَاخَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي، | ١ |
2 And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.
| وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنْ هُوَّةِ الْهَلاكِ، مِنْ طِينِ الْمُسْتَنْقَعِ. وَأَوْقَفَ قَدَمَيَّ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتُ أَمْشِي بِخُطُوَاتٍ ثَابِتَةٍ. | ٢ |
3 And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.
| وَضَعَ فِي فَمِي تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، قَصِيدَةَ تَسْبِيحٍ لإِلَهِنَا. يَرَى ذَلِكَ كَثِيرُونَ فَيَخَافُونَ الرَّبَّ. | ٣ |
4 O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
| طُوبَى لِرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ فِي الرَّبِّ ثِقَتَهُ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى الْكَذِبِ. | ٤ |
5 You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
| أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، مَا أَكْثَرَ أَعْمَالَكَ الْعَجِيبَةَ! إِنْ تَحَدَّثْتُ عَنْ خُطَطِكَ الرَّائِعَةِ لَنَا فَلَنْ أَقْدِرَ أَنْ أُحْصِيَهَا. زَادَتْ عَنْ أَنْ تُعَدَّ. | ٥ |
6 Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.
| لَمْ تُرِدْ أَوْ تَطْلُبْ ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لَكِنَّكَ وَهَبْتَنِي أُذُنَيْنِ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ مُطِيعَتَيْنِ. | ٦ |
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا أَجِيءُ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي دَرْجِ الْكِتَابِ: | ٧ |
8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”
| إِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ الصَّالِحَةَ يَا إِلَهِي، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ فِي صَمِيمِ قَلْبِي. | ٨ |
9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.
| أَعْلَنْتُ بِرَّكَ وَسَطَ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُلْجِمْ شَفَتَيَّ. | ٩ |
10 I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.
| لَمْ أُخْفِ بِرَّكَ دَاخِلَ قَلْبِي، بَلْ أَعْلَنْتُ أَمَانَتَكَ وَخَلاصَكَ. لَمْ أَكْتُمْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَحَقَّكَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ». | ١٠ |
11 You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.
| فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ لَنْ تَمْنَعَ مَرَاحِمَكَ عَنِّي. تَنْصُرُنِي دَائِماً رَحْمَتُكَ وَحَقُّكَ. | ١١ |
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.
| إِنَّ شُرُوراً لَا تُحْصَى قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِي، وَآثَامِي قَدْ أَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيَّ فَأَعْمَتْنِي لأَنَّهَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَقَلْبِي قَدْ خَذَلَنِي. | ١٢ |
13 Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.
| يَا رَبُّ، ارْتَضِ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي. أَسْرِعْ يَا رَبُّ لإِغَاثَتِي. | ١٣ |
14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
| لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعاً الَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيُدْبِرْ وَلْيَخْزَ الْمَسْرُورُونَ بِأَذِيَّتِي. | ١٤ |
15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”
| لِيَذْهَلْ خِزْياً السَّاخِرُونَ مِنِّي. | ١٥ |
16 All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”
| وَلْيَفْرَحْ وَيَبْتَهِجْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ كُلَّ حِينٍ مُحبُّو خَلاصِكَ: «يَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ». | ١٦ |
17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَبَائِسٌ. الرَّبُّ يَهْتَمُّ بِي. عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. فَلَا تَتَوَانَ يَا إِلَهِي. | ١٧ |
