< Psalms 18 >

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of the LORD, who spoke to 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.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِعَبْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ دَاوُدَ ٱلَّذِي كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبَّ بِكَلَامِ هَذَا ٱلنَّشِيدِ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْقَذَهُ فِيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ أَيْدِي كُلِّ أَعْدَائِهِ وَمِنْ يَدِ شَاوُلَ. فَقَالَ: أُحِبُّكَ يَارَبُّ، 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.
ٱلرَّبُّ صَخْرَتِي وَحِصْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. إِلَهِي صَخْرَتِي بِهِ أَحْتَمِي. تُرْسِي وَقَرْنُ خَلَاصِي وَمَلْجَإِي.٢
3 I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
أَدْعُو ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْحَمِيدَ، فَأَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي.٣
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
اِكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَسُيُولُ ٱلْهَلَاكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.٤
5 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: the snares of death seized me. (Sheol h7585)
حِبَالُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ حَاقَتْ بِي. أَشْرَاكُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ٱنْتَشَبَتْ بِي. (Sheol h7585)٥
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears.
فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلَهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي قُدَّامَهُ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ.٦
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
فَٱرْتَجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱرْتَعَشَتْ، أُسُسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱرْتَعَدَتْ وَٱرْتَجَّتْ لِأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ.٧
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ ٱشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ.٨
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet.
طَأْطَأَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.٩
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; yes, he flew upon the wings of the wind.
رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ وَطَارَ، وَهَفَّ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ ٱلرِّيَاحِ.١٠
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion around him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
جَعَلَ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ سِتْرَهُ. حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّتَهُ ضَبَابَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَظَلَامَ ٱلْغَمَامِ.١١
12 At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
مِنَ ٱلشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ عَبَرَتْ سُحُبُهُ. بَرَدٌ وَجَمْرُ نَارٍ.١٢
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
أَرْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ، بَرَدًا وَجَمْرَ نَارٍ.١٣
14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
أَرْسَلَ سِهَامَهُ فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، وَبُرُوقًا كَثِيرَةً فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ،١٤
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱنْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَارَبُّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِكَ.١٥
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
أَرْسَلَ مِنَ ٱلْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي. نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.١٦
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them who hated me: for they were too strong for me.
أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي ٱلْقَوِيِّ، وَمِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي.١٧
18 They attacked me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ ٱلرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.١٨
19 He brought me forth also in a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى ٱلرُّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لِأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.١٩
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
يُكَافِئُنِي ٱلرَّبُّ حَسَبَ بِرِّي. حَسَبَ طَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ يَرُدُّ لِي.٢٠
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
لِأَنِّي حَفِظْتُ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَلَمْ أَعْصِ إِلَهِي.٢١
22 For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ أَحْكَامِهِ أَمَامِي، وَفَرَائِضَهُ لَمْ أُبْعِدْهَا عَنْ نَفْسِي.٢٢
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
وَأَكُونُ كَامِلًا مَعَهُ وَأَتَحَفَّظُ مِنْ إِثْمِي.٢٣
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
فَيَرُدُّ ٱلرَّبُّ لِي كَبِرِّي، وَكَطَهَارَةِ يَدَيَّ أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ.٢٤
25 With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
مَعَ ٱلرَّحِيمِ تَكُونُ رَحِيمًا. مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْكَامِلِ تَكُونُ كَامِلًا.٢٥
26 With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
مَعَ ٱلطَّاهِرِ تَكُونُ طَاهِرًا، وَمَعَ ٱلْأَعْوَجِ تَكُونُ مُلْتَوِيًا.٢٦
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُخَلِّصُ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلْبَائِسَ، وَٱلْأَعْيُنُ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةُ تَضَعُهَا.٢٧
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تُضِيءُ سِرَاجِي. ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي يُنِيرُ ظُلْمَتِي.٢٨
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
لِأَنِّي بِكَ ٱقْتَحَمْتُ جَيْشًا، وَبِإِلَهِي تَسَوَّرْتُ أَسْوَارًا.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.
ٱللهُ طَرِيقُهُ كَامِلٌ. قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ نَقِيٌّ. تُرْسٌ هُوَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلْمُحْتَمِينَ بِهِ.٣٠
31 For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God?
لِأَنَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ وَمَنْ هُوَ صَخْرَةٌ سِوَى إِلَهِنَا؟٣١
32 [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُمَنْطِقُنِي بِٱلْقُوَّةِ وَيُصَيِّرُ طَرِيقِي كَامِلًا.٣٢
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places.
ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ رِجْلَيَّ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ، وَعَلَى مُرْتَفِعَاتِي يُقِيمُنِي.٣٣
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُ يَدَيَّ ٱلْقِتَالَ، فَتُحْنَى بِذِرَاعَيَّ قَوْسٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ.٣٤
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up and thy gentleness hath made me great.
وَتَجْعَلُ لِي تُرْسَ خَلَاصِكَ وَيَمِينُكَ تَعْضُدُنِي، وَلُطْفُكَ يُعَظِّمُنِي.٣٥
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
تُوَسِّعُ خُطُوَاتِي تَحْتِي، فَلَمْ تَتَقَلْقَلْ عَقِبَايَ.٣٦
37 I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
أَتْبَعُ أَعْدَائِي فَأُدْرِكُهُمْ، وَلَا أَرْجِعُ حَتَّى أُفْنِيَهُمْ.٣٧
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they have fallen under my feet.
أَسْحَقُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلْقِيَامَ. يَسْقُطُونَ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيَّ.٣٨
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
تُمَنْطِقُنِي بِقُوَّةٍ لِلْقِتَالِ. تَصْرَعُ تَحْتِي ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ.٣٩
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
وَتُعْطِينِي أَقْفِيَةَ أَعْدَائِي، وَمُبْغِضِيَّ أُفْنِيهِمْ.٤٠
41 They cried, but [there was] none to save [them]: [even] to the LORD, but he answered them not.
يَصْرُخُونَ وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ. إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ.٤١
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
فَأَسْحَقُهُمْ كَٱلْغُبَارِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ. مِثْلَ طِينِ ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ أَطْرَحُهُمْ.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 مُخَاصَمَاتِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. تَجْعَلُنِي رَأْسًا لِلْأُمَمِ. شَعْبٌ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ يَتَعَبَّدُ لِي.٤٣
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me.
مِنْ سَمَاعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ يَسْمَعُونَ لِي. بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَتَذَلَّلُونَ لِي.٤٤
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid from their close places.
بَنُو ٱلْغُرَبَاءِ يَبْلَوْنَ وَيَزْحَفُونَ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ.٤٥
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَمُبَارَكٌ صَخْرَتِي، وَمُرْتَفِعٌ إِلَهُ خَلَاصِي،٤٦
47 [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْمُنْتَقِمُ لِي، وَٱلَّذِي يُخْضِعُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ تَحْتِي.٤٧
48 He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
مُنَجِّيَّ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي. رَافِعِي أَيْضًا فَوْقَ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيَّ. مِنَ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلظَّالِمِ تُنْقِذُنِي.٤٨
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises to thy name.
لِذَلِكَ أَحْمَدُكَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ.٤٩
50 He giveth great deliverance to his king; and showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever.
بُرْجُ خَلَاصٍ لِمَلِكِهِ، وَٱلصَّانِعُ رَحْمَةً لِمَسِيحِهِ، لِدَاوُدَ وَنَسْلِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.٥٠
