< Psalms 40 >

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اِنْتِظَارًا ٱنْتَظَرْتُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَمَالَ إِلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُرَاخِي،١
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
وَأَصْعَدَنِي مِنْ جُبِّ ٱلْهَلَاكِ، مِنْ طِينِ ٱلْحَمْأَةِ، وَأَقَامَ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ رِجْلَيَّ. ثَبَّتَ خُطُوَاتِي،٢
3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
وَجَعَلَ فِي فَمِي تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، تَسْبِيحَةً لِإِلَهِنَا. كَثِيرُونَ يَرَوْنَ وَيَخَافُونَ وَيَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ.٣
4 Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلرَّبَّ مُتَّكَلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى ٱلْغَطَارِيسِ وَٱلْمُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى ٱلْكَذِبِ.٤
5 Many, O LORD, my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] toward us, they cannot be reckoned up in order to thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are more than can be numbered.
كَثِيرًا مَا جَعَلْتَ أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهِي عَجَائِبَكَ وَأَفْكَارَكَ مِنْ جِهَتِنَا. لَا تُقَوَّمُ لَدَيْكَ. لَأُخْبِرَنَّ وَأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ بِهَا. زَادَتْ عَنْ أَنْ تُعَدَّ.٥
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
بِذَبِيحَةٍ وَتَقْدِمَةٍ لَمْ تُسَرَّ. أُذُنَيَّ فَتَحْتَ. مُحْرَقَةً وَذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ لَمْ تَطْلُبْ.٦
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
حِينَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَأَنَذَا جِئْتُ. بِدَرْجِ ٱلْكِتَابِ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي:٧
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.
أَنْ أَفْعَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ يَا إِلَهِي سُرِرْتُ، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ فِي وَسَطِ أَحْشَائِي».٨
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
بَشَّرْتُ بِبِرٍّ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ. هُوَذَا شَفَتَايَ لَمْ أَمْنَعْهُمَا. أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ عَلِمْتَ.٩
10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
لَمْ أَكْتُمْ عَدْلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ قَلْبِي. تَكَلَّمْتُ بِأَمَانَتِكَ وَخَلَاصِكَ. لَمْ أُخْفِ رَحْمَتَكَ وَحَقَّكَ عَنِ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ.١٠
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فَلَا تَمْنَعْ رَأْفَتَكَ عَنِّي. تَنْصُرُنِي رَحْمَتُكَ وَحَقُّكَ دَائِمًا.١١
12 For innumerable evils have encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.
لِأَنَّ شُرُورًا لَا تُحْصَى قَدِ ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي. حَاقَتْ بِي آثَامِي، وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُبْصِرَ. كَثُرَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِ رَأْسِي، وَقَلْبِي قَدْ تَرَكَنِي.١٢
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
اِرْتَضِ يَارَبُّ بِأَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي. يَارَبُّ، إِلَى مَعُونَتِي أَسْرِعْ.١٣
14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
لِيَخْزَ وَلْيَخْجَلْ مَعًا ٱلَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي لِإِهْلَاكِهَا. لِيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَلْيَخْزَ ٱلْمَسْرُورُونَ بِأَذِيَّتِي.١٤
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
لِيَسْتَوْحِشْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خِزْيِهِمِ ٱلْقَائِلُونَ لِي: «هَهْ! هَهْ!».١٥
16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
لِيَبْتَهِجْ وَيَفْرَحْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ مُحِبُّو خَلَاصِكَ: «يَتَعَظَّمُ ٱلرَّبُّ».١٦
17 But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the LORD thinketh upon me: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَبَائِسٌ. ٱلرَّبُّ يَهْتَمُّ بِي. عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. يَا إِلَهِي لَا تُبْطِئْ.١٧
