Psalms 33
1 You righteous people should sing joyfully to Yahweh because that is what he deserves.
| سَبِّحُوا الرَّبَّ أَيُّهَا الأَبْرَارُ، فَإِنَّ الْحَمْدَ يَلِيقُ بِالْمُسْتَقِيمِينَ. | ١ |
2 Praise Yahweh as you play songs on the lyre/harp. Praise him as you play [other] instruments that have many strings.
| اشْكُرُوا الرَّبَّ عَلَى الْعُودِ، رَنِّمُوا لَهُ بِرَبَابَةٍ ذَاتِ عَشَرَةِ أَوْتَارٍ. | ٢ |
3 Sing a new song to him; Play those instruments well, and shout joyfully as you play them!
| اعْزِفُوا أَمْهَرَ عَزْفٍ مَعَ الْهُتَافِ، رَنِّمُوا لَهُ تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً. | ٣ |
4 Yahweh always does what he says that he will do; we can trust that everything that he does is right.
| فَإِنَّ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ وَهُوَ يَصْنَعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِالأَمَانَةِ. | ٤ |
5 He loves everything that we do that is just and right. People all over the earth can know that Yahweh faithfully loves us.
| يُحِبُّ الْبِرَّ وَالْعَدْلَ. وَرَحْمَتُهُ تَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ. | ٥ |
6 Yahweh created everything in the sky by commanding it. By what he said [MTY] he created all the stars.
| بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنَ الرَّبِّ صُنِعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَبِنَسْمَةِ فَمِهِ كُلُّ مَجْمُوعَاتِ الْكَوَاكِبِ. | ٦ |
7 He gathered all the water into one huge mass like [someone scoops liquid] into a container.
| يَجْمَعُ الْبِحَارَ كَكَوْمَةٍ وَالْلُّجَجَ فِي أَهْرَاءٍ. | ٧ |
8 Everyone on the earth should revere Yahweh [DOU].
| لِتَخَفِ الرَّبَّ الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا، وَلْيُوَقِّرْهُ جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ الْعَالَمِ. | ٨ |
9 When he spoke, the world (was created/started to exist). Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.
| قَالَ كَلِمَةً فَكَانَ. وَأَمَرَ فَصَارَ! | ٩ |
10 Yahweh frustrates the things that the [pagan] nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the [evil] things that they plan to do.
| الرَّبُّ أَحْبَطَ مُؤَامَرَةَ الأُمَمِ. أَبْطَلَ أَفْكَارَ الشُّعُوبِ. | ١٠ |
11 But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.
| أَمَّا مَقَاصِدُ الرَّبِّ فَتَثْبُتُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأَفْكَارُ قَلْبِهِ تَدُومُ مَدَى الدُّهُورِ. | ١١ |
12 Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.
| طُوبَى لِلأُمَّةِ الَّتِي الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهَا، وَلِلشَّعْبِ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ مِيرَاثاً لَهُ: | ١٢ |
13 Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;
| يَنْظُرُ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّماوَاتِ فَيَرَى بَنِي الْبَشَرِ أَجْمَعِينَ. | ١٣ |
14 from where he rules [MTY], he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.
| وَمِنْ مَقَامِ سُكْنَاهُ يُرَاقِبُ جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ. | ١٤ |
15 He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.
| فَهُوَ جَابِلُ قُلُوبِهِمْ جَمِيعاً وَالْعَلِيمُ بِكُلِّ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ١٥ |
16 It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win [battles], and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat [his enemy].
| لَا يَخْلُصُ الْمَلِكُ بِالْجَيْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَلَا الْجَبَّارُ بِشِدَّةِ الْقُوَّةِ. | ١٦ |
17 It is foolish to trust that because horses are very strong that they will able to win a battle and save their riders.
| بَاطِلاً يَرْجُو النَّصْرَ مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تُنَجِّي رَغْمَ قُوَّتِهَا. | ١٧ |
18 Do not forget that Yahweh watches over those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to faithfully love them.
| هُوَذَا عَيْنُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى خَائِفِيهِ، الْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَى رَحْمَتِهِ، | ١٨ |
19 He saves them [SYN] from dying [before they should die] and preserves them when there is a famine.
| لِيُنْقِذَ نُفُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَيَسْتَحْيِيَهُمْ فِي الْمَجَاعَةِ. | ١٩ |
20 We trust that Yahweh will help us; he protects us like a shield protects a soldier [MET].
| أَنْفُسُنَا تَنَتَظِرُ الرَّبَّ. عَوْنُنَا وَتُرْسُنَا هُوَ. | ٢٠ |
21 We rejoice because of what he [has done for us]; we trust in him because he [MTY] is holy.
| بِهِ تَفْرَحُ قُلُوبُنَا، لأَنَّنَا عَلَى اسْمِهِ الْقُدُّوسِ تَوَكَّلْنَا. | ٢١ |
22 Yahweh, we pray that you will always faithfully love us while we confidently expect you [to do great things for us].
| لِتَكُنْ يَا رَبُّ رَحْمَتُكَ عَلَيْنَا بِمُقْتَضَى رَجَائِنَا فِيكَ. | ٢٢ |
