< Psalms 119 >

1 ALEPH. Blessed [are] the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
طُوبَى لِلسَّالِكِينَ فِي طَرِيقِ الكَمَالِ، طَرِيقِ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ.١
2 Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart.
طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَهُ بِكُلِّ الْقَلْبِ،٢
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
وَلَا يَرْتَكِبُونَ إِثْماً، إِنَّمَا فِي طُرُقِهِ يَسِيرُونَ.٣
4 Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently.
أَنْتَ أَوْصَيْتَ بِحِفْظِ وَصَايَاكَ وَالعَمَلِ بِها كُلِّهَا.٤
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
لَيْتَكَ تُوَجِّهُ طُرُقِي لِمُمَارَسَةِ فَرَائِضِكَ.٥
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect to all thy commandments.
عِنْدَئِذٍ لَا أَخْزَى إِذَا تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي جَمِيعِ وَصَايَاكَ.٦
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
أَحْمَدُكَ بِقَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ لأَنِّي أَدْرَكْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ.٧
8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
سَأَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ، فَلَا تَتْرُكْنِي أَبَداً.٨
9 BETH. Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [to it], according to thy word.
بِمَاذَا يُزَكِّي الشَّابُّ مَسْلَكَهُ؟ بِطَاعَتِهِ لِكَلِمَتِكَ.٩
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
لِذَلِكَ طَلَبْتُكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَضِلُّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ.١٠
11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
خَبَأْتُ كَلامَكَ فِي قَلْبِي، لِئَلّا أُخْطِئَ إِلَيْكَ.١١
12 Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.١٢
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
بِشَفَتَيَّ أَعْلَنْتُ جَمِيعَ الأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي نَطَقْتَ بِها.١٣
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all riches.
بِطَرِيقِ شَهَادَاتِكَ قَدْ سُرِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سُرُورِ الْحَائِزِ عَلَى كُلِّ غِنىً.١٤
15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect to thy ways.
أَتَأَمَّلُ وَصَايَاكَ، وَأَحْفَظُ سُبُلَكَ.١٥
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
بِفَرائِضِكَ أَتَلَذَّذُ، وَلَا أَنْسَى كَلِمَتَكَ.١٦
17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, [that] I may live, and keep thy word.
أَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ أَنَا عَبْدِكَ، فَأَحْيَا وَأَعْمَلَ بِكَلِمَتِكَ.١٧
18 Open thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
افْتَحْ عَيْنَيَّ فَأَرَى عَجَائِبَ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ.١٨
19 I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
غَرِيبٌ أَنَا فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَا تَحْجُبْ عَنِّي وَصَايَاكَ.١٩
20 My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] to thy judgments at all times.
تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي شَوْقاً إِلَى أَحْكَامِكَ دَائِماً.٢٠
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who do err from thy commandments.
أَنْتَ تَزْجُرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ الْمَلْعُونِينَ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ.٢١
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
انْتَزِعْ عَارِي وَهَوَانِي، لأَنَّنِي أُرَاعِي وَصَايَاكَ.٢٢
23 Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
جَلَسَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَتَآمَرُوا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا أَنَا، عَبدَكَ، فَبَقِيتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ.٢٣
24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, [and] my counselors.
وَصَايَاكَ الشَّاهِدَةُ أَيْضاً هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي، وَأَنَا أَسْتَشِيرُهَا دَائِماً.٢٤
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth to the dust: revive thou me according to thy word.
(أَنَا يَائِسٌ) أَرْقُدُ مُلْتَصِقاً بالتُّرَابِ، فَأَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ.٢٥
26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
اعْتَرَفْتُ بِمَا جَنَيْتُ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لِي. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.٢٦
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
فَهِّمْنِي طَرِيقَ أَوَامِرِكَ، فَأَتَأَمَّلَ فِي أَعْمَالِكَ الْعَجِيبَةِ.٢٧
28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according to thy word.
نَفْسِي ذَائِبَةٌ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ. قَوِّنِي بِحَسَبِ وَعْدِكَ.٢٨
29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
أَبْعِدْ عَنِّي طَرِيقَ الْغَوَايَةِ وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ لَقِّنِّي شَرِيعَتَكَ.٢٩
30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid [before me].
قَدِ اخْتَرْتُ طَرِيقَ الْحَقِّ، إذْ وَضَعْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ أَمَامِي.٣٠
31 I have adhered to thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
الْتَزَمْتُ بِوَصَايَاكَ الشَّاهِدَةِ لَكَ يَا رَبُّ فَلَا تُخْزِنِي.٣١
32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
أَجِدُّ مُسْرِعاً فِي طَرِيقِ وَصَايَاكَ، لأَنَّكَ تَشْرَحُ قَلْبِي.٣٢
33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it [to] the end.
يَا رَبُّ، عَلِّمْنِي طَرِيقَ فَرَائِضِكَ فَأُرَاعِيَهَا إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ.٣٣
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yes, I shall observe it with [my] whole heart.
أَعْطِنِي فَهْماً لأَحْفَظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ وَأَعْمَلَ بِها بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي.٣٤
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for in that do I delight.
اهْدِنِي فِي سَبِيلِ وَصَايَاكَ، فَفِيهَا بَهْجَتِي.٣٥
36 Incline my heart to thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
اجْتَذِبْ قَلْبِي نَحْوَ شَهَادَاتِكَ بَعِيداً عَنْ مَطَامِعِ الْمَالِ.٣٦
37 Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; [and] revive thou me in thy way.
حَوِّلْ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ الْبَاطِلِ، وَفِي طَرِيقِكَ أَحْيِنِي.٣٧
38 Establish thy word to thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear.
حَقِّقْ لِعَبْدِكَ قَوْلَكَ، الَّذِي وَعَدْتَ بِهِ مُتَّقِيكَ.٣٨
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good.
أَزِلْ عَنِّي الْعَارَ الَّذِي أَخْشَاهُ، لأَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ صَالِحَةٌ.٣٩
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: revive me in thy righteousness.
هَا قَدْ رَغِبْتُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. بِعَدْلِكَ أَحْيِنِي.٤٠
41 VAU. Let thy mercies come also to me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy word.
أَنْعِمْ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبُّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَخَلاصِكَ حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ.٤١
42 So shall I have with which to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
فَأَرُدَّ عَلَى مُعَيِّرِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَثِقُ بِوَعْدِكَ.٤٢
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
لَا تَنْزِعْ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ مِنْ فَمِي لأَنَّ رَجَائِي فِي أَحْكَامِكَ،٤٣
44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
فَأَحْفَظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ دَائِماً، إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ،٤٤
45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
وَأَسْلُكَ فِي رَحَابَةِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ أَوَامِرَكَ.٤٥
46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
سَأَتَحَدَّثُ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ وَلَا يَعْتَرِينِي الْخِزْيُ،٤٦
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
وَأَتَلَذَّذُ بِوَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا،٤٧
48 My hands also will I lift to thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
وَأَرْفَعُ كَفَّيَّ إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا وَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ.٤٨
49 ZAIN. Remember the word to thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
حَقِّقْ لِعَبْدِكَ وَعْدَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَنِي أَنْتَظِرُهُ.٤٩
50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath revived me.
وَعْدُكَ يُنْعِشُنِي إِذْ هُوَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي ضِيقِي.٥٠
51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] I have not declined from thy law.
جَاوَزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الْحَدَّ فِي السُّخْرِيَةِ بِي، لَكِنْ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ.٥١
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ.٥٢
53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
تَوَلّانِي الْغَيْظُ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ.٥٣
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
صَارَتْ فَرَائِضُكَ تَرْنِيمَاتٍ لِي فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِي.٥٤
55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
ذَكَرْتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ.٥٥
56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
هَذَا مَا حَظِيتُ بِهِ لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ.٥٦
57 CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ نَصِيبِي، فَأَعِدُكَ بِطَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِكَ.٥٧
58 I entreated thy favor with [my] whole heart: be merciful to me according to thy word.
طَلَبْتُ وَجْهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي: ارْحَمْنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ.٥٨
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي انْحِرَافِي فَعُدْتُ وَتَحَوَّلْتُ نَحْوَ شَهَادَاتِكَ.٥٩
60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
أَسْرَعْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ بِوَصَايَاكَ.٦٠
61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law.
قَامَ الأَشْرَارُ بِالإِيقَاعِ بِي، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ.٦١
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ لأَحْمَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ.٦٢
63 I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ، وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ.٦٣
64 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
رَحْمَتُكَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ عَمَّتِ الأَرْضَ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.٦٤
65 TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according to thy word.
صَنَعْتَ خَيْراً يَا رَبُّ مَعِي أَنَا عَبْدَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتَ.٦٥
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
هَبْنِي رُوحَ تَمْيِيزٍ وَمَعْرِفَةً، لأَنِّي آمَنْتُ بِوَصَايَاكَ.٦٦
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
ضَلَلْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَدَّبْتَنِي، أَمَّا الآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ كَلامَكَ.٦٧
68 Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
أَنْتَ صَالِحٌ وَمُحْسِنٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.٦٨
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
لَفَّقَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَالاً كَاذِبَةً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ.٦٩
70 Their heart is as gross as fat; [but] I delight in thy law.
غَلُظَ قَلْبُهُمْ وَتَقَسَّى، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَمَتَّعُ بِشَرِيعَتِكَ.٧٠
71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
كَانَ مَا ذُقْتُ مِنْ هَوَانٍ لِخَيْرِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَرَائِضَكَ.٧١
72 The law of thy mouth [is] better to me than thousands of gold and silver.
شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَهَبِ الْعَالَمِ وَفِضَّتِهِ.٧٢
73 JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَكَوَّنَتَانِي، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ.٧٣
74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
فَيَرَانِي مُتَّقُوكَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ، لأَنِّي انْتَظَرْتُ كَلامَكَ.٧٤
75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَادِلَةٌ، وَأَنَّكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَدَّبْتَنِي.٧٥
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word to thy servant.
فَلْتَكُنْ رَحْمَتُكَ تَعْزِيَةً لِي، بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ.٧٦
77 Let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight.
لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ مُتْعَتِي.٧٧
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: [but] I will meditate in thy precepts.
لِيَخْزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لأَنَّهُمُ افْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ زُوراً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ.٧٨
79 Let those that fear thee turn to me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
لِيَنْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ.٧٩
80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I may not be ashamed.
لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي مُتَعَلِّقاً بِكَامِلِ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَلَا أَخْزَى.٨٠
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word.
تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلاصِكَ. رَجَائِي هُوَ كَلِمَتُكَ.٨١
82 My eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي انْتِظَارِ كَلامِكَ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟٨٢
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] I do not forget thy statutes.
أَصْبَحْتُ كَقِرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ أَتْلَفَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ وَالدُّخَانُ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ فَرَائِضَكَ.٨٣
84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
كَمْ هِي أَيَّامُ عُمْرِ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُنْزِلُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي؟٨٤
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not according to thy law.
الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْصَوْنَ شَرِيعَتَكَ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفَراً.٨٥
86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
وَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا صَادِقَةٌ. زُوراً يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي فَأَغِثْنِي.٨٦
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَرِيعَتَكْ.٨٧
88 Revive me after thy loving-kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأُطِيعَ شَرَائِعَكَ.٨٨
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
يَا رَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ تَدُومُ ثَابِتَةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٨٩
90 Thy faithfulness [is] to all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ.٩٠
91 They continue this day according to thy ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.
بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ تَثْبُتُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْكُلَّ خُدَّامٌ لَكَ.٩١
92 Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in my affliction.
لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ مُتْعَتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ فِي مَذَلَّتِي،٩٢
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast revived me.
لَنْ أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ أَبَداً، لأَنَّكَ بِها وَهَبْتَنِي الْحَيَاةَ.٩٣
94 I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
أَنَا لَكَ، فَخَلِّصْنِي، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ وَصَايَاكَ.٩٤
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.
تَرَبَّصَ بِيَ الأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي، لَكِنِّي أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي شَهَادَاتِكَ.٩٥
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.
رَأَيْتُ لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ حَدّاً، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَلَا حَدَّ لَهَا.٩٦
97 MEM. O how I love thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day.
كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ، إِنَّهَا مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ.٩٧
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than my enemies: for they [are] ever with me.
وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لأَنَّهَا نَصِيبِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ.٩٨
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my (meditation)
صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فَهْماً مِنْ مُعَلِّمِيَّ، لأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي.٩٩
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فِطْنَةً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ، لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ.١٠٠
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
مَنَعْتُ قَدَمَيَّ عَنْ سُلُوكِ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلامَكَ.١٠١
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
لَمْ أَبْتَعِدْ عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لأَنَّكَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي.١٠٢
103 How sweet are thy words to my taste! [yes, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!
مَا أَحْلَى أَقْوَالَكَ لِمَذَاقِي. إِنَّهَا أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي.١٠٣
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ اكْتَسَبْتُ فِطْنَةً لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ.١٠٤
105 NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي.١٠٥
106 I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
أَقْسَمْتُ يَمِيناً مُوَثَّقَةً أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ.١٠٦
107 I am afflicted very much: revive me, O LORD, according to thy word.
قَاسَيْتُ جِدّاً فَأَنْعِشْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ.١٠٧
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the free-will-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ.١٠٨
109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet I do not forget thy law.
نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ.١٠٩
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ.١١٠
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart.
اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي.١١١
112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes always, [even to] the end.
لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ.١١٢
113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.
أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ.١١٣
114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ.١١٤
115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي.١١٥
116 Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي.١١٦
117 Support me, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect to thy statutes continually.
اعْضُدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِماً.١١٧
118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً.١١٨
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ.١١٩
120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
اقْشَعَرَّ بَدَنِي رُعْباً مِنْكَ وَجَزِعْتُ مِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ.١٢٠
121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice; leave me not to my oppressors.
أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ.١٢١
122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ.١٢٢
123 My eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ.١٢٣
124 Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
عَامِلْ عَبْدَكَ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.١٢٤
125 I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
عَبْدُكَ أَنَا، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ.١٢٥
126 [It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law.
يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ.١٢٦
127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yes, above fine gold.
لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ،١٢٧
128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.
وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ.١٢٨
129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
مَا أَعْجَبَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. لِذَلِكَ تُرَاعِيهَا نَفْسِي.١٢٩
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple.
فَتْحُ كَلامِكَ يُنِيرُ الذِّهْنَ، وَيَهِبُ الْبُسَطَاءَ فَهْماً.١٣٠
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
فَغَرْتُ فَمِي لاهِثاً اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ.١٣١
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful to me, as thou usest to do to those that love thy name.
الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُ دَائِماً مَعَ مُحِبِّيكَ.١٣٢
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
ثَبِّتْ خُطْوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْ أَيَّ إِثْمٍ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ.١٣٣
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
حَرِّرْنِي مِنْ ظُلْمِ الإِنْسَانِ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ.١٣٤
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy statutes.
أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.١٣٥
136 Rivers of waters run down my eyes, because they keep not thy law.
فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ.١٣٦
137 TSADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments.
عَادِلٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ.١٣٧
138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful.
أَصْدَرْتَ أَوَامِرَكَ بِعَدْلٍ وَبِأَقْصَى الأَمَانَةِ.١٣٨
139 My zeal hath consumed me; because my enemies have forgotten thy words.
أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ.١٣٩
140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا.١٤٠
141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] I do not forget thy precepts.
صَغِيرُ الشَّأْنِ أَنَا وَحَقِيرٌ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ.١٤١
142 Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth.
عَدْلُكَ عَدْلٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَشَرِيعَتُكَ حَقٌّ.١٤٢
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights.
اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيَّ الضِّيقُ وَالشِّدَّةُ، وَلَا لَذَّةَ لِي إِلّا بِوَصَايَاكَ.١٤٣
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
شَهَادَاتُكَ عَدْلٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. فَهِّمْنِي إِيَّاهَا فَأَحْيَا.١٤٤
145 KOPH. I cried with [my] whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا رَبُّ، وَسَأُرَاعِي شَرَائِعَكَ.١٤٥
146 I cried to thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
إِيَّاكَ دَعَوْتُ فَخَلِّصْنِي لأُطِيعَ شَهَادَاتِكَ.١٤٦
147 I came before the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
اسْتَيْقَظْتُ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَاسْتَغَثْتُ؛ رَجَائِي فِي كَلامِكَ.١٤٧
148 My eyes anticipated the [night] watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ أَظَلُّ مُسْتَيْقِظاً، أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ١٤٨
149 Hear my voice, according to thy loving-kindness: O LORD, revive me according to thy judgment.
اسْتَمِعْ لِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَحْيِنِي بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ.١٤٩
150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَ الرَّذِيلَةِ، الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ.١٥٠
151 Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth.
إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ، وَوَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا حَقٌّ.١٥١
152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.١٥٢
153 RESH. Consider my affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
انْظُرْ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي، لأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ.١٥٣
154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: revive me according to thy word.
تَوَلَّ قَضِيَّتِي وَافْدِنِي، أَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلِمَتِكَ.١٥٤
155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
الْخَلاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ الأَشْرَارِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَطْلُبُونَ فَرَائِضَكَ.١٥٥
156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: revive me according to thy judgments.
مَا أَكْثَرَ مَرَاحِمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِكَ.١٥٦
157 Many [are] my persecutors and my enemies; [yet] I do not decline from thy testimonies.
كَثِيرُونَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي وَمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ.١٥٧
158 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْغَادِرِينَ شَزْراً، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلِمَتَكَ.١٥٨
159 Consider how I love thy precepts: revive me, O LORD, according to thy loving-kindness.
انْظُرْ كَيْفَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ فَأَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ.١٥٩
160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endureth] for ever.
كَلامُكَ بِأَسْرِهِ حَقٌّ، وَكُلُّ أَحْكَامِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَادِلَةٌ.١٦٠
161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
اضْطَهَدَنِي رُؤَسَاءُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ، لَكِنَّ قَلْبِي لَا يَهَابُ سِوَى كَلامِكَ.١٦١
162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
أَبْتَهِجُ بِكَلامِكَ كَبَهْجَةِ مَنْ عَثَرَ عَلَى غَنِيمَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ.١٦٢
163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.
أَبْغَضْتُ الْكَذِبَ وَمَقَتُّهُ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا.١٦٣
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ سَبَّحْتُكَ فِي النَّهَارِ عَلَى أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ.١٦٤
165 Great peace have they who love thy law: and nothing shall cause them to stumble.
سَلامٌ جَزِيلٌ لِمُحِبِّي شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَلَنْ يُعْثِرَهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا شَيْءٌ١٦٥
166 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and performed thy commandments.
رَجَوْتُ خَلاصَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَوَصَايَاكَ عَمِلْتُ.١٦٦
167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
حَفِظَتْ نَفْسِي شَهَادَاتِكَ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهَا جِدّاً.١٦٧
168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways [are] before thee.
رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ وَشَهَادَاتِكَ، وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِي مَاثِلَةٌ أَمَامَكَ.١٦٨
169 TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
لِيَصِلْ صُرَاخِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ. هَبْنِي فَهْماً حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ.١٦٩
170 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
لِتَمْثُلْ طِلْبَتِي أَمَامَكَ. أَنْقِذْنِي بِمُوجِبِ وَعْدِكَ.١٧٠
171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
تَفِيضُ شَفَتَايَ تَسْبِيحاً إذْ تُعَلِّمُنِي فَرَائِضَكَ.١٧١
172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments [are] righteousness.
يَشْدُو لِسَانِي بِأَقْوَالِكَ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاكَ عَدْلٌ.١٧٢
173 Let thy hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
لِتُغِثْنِي يَدُكَ لأَنِّي اخْتَرْتُ وَصَايَاكَ.١٧٣
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law [is] my delight.
اشْتَقْتُ إِلَى خَلاصِكَ يَا رَبُّ؛ شَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي.١٧٤
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي فَتُسَبِّحَكَ وَلْتَكُنْ أَحْكَامُكَ لِي عَوْناً.١٧٥
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
تِهْتُ كَخَرُوفٍ ضَالٍّ. فَابْحَثْ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ.١٧٦
