< 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.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ، مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ انْتَظَرْتُ الرَّبَّ صَابِراً، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَسَمِعَ صُرَاخَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي،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.
وَانْتَشَلَنِي مِنْ هُوَّةِ الْهَلاكِ، مِنْ طِينِ الْمُسْتَنْقَعِ. وَأَوْقَفَ قَدَمَيَّ عَلَى أَرْضٍ صَخْرِيَّةٍ، فَصِرْتُ أَمْشِي بِخُطُوَاتٍ ثَابِتَةٍ.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.
وَضَعَ فِي فَمِي تَرْنِيمَةً جَدِيدَةً، قَصِيدَةَ تَسْبِيحٍ لإِلَهِنَا. يَرَى ذَلِكَ كَثِيرُونَ فَيَخَافُونَ الرَّبَّ.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 لِرَجُلٍ وَضَعَ فِي الرَّبِّ ثِقَتَهُ، وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَالْمُنْحَرِفِينَ إِلَى الْكَذِبِ.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.
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 offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required.
لَمْ تُرِدْ أَوْ تَطْلُبْ ذَبَائِحَ وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ عَنِ الْخَطِيئَةِ، لَكِنَّكَ وَهَبْتَنِي أُذُنَيْنِ مُصْغِيَتَيْنِ مُطِيعَتَيْنِ.٦
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is] written of me,
عِنْدَئِذٍ قُلْتُ: «هَا أَنَا أَجِيءُ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي دَرْجِ الْكِتَابِ:٧
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart.
إِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَشِيئَتَكَ الصَّالِحَةَ يَا إِلَهِي، وَشَرِيعَتُكَ فِي صَمِيمِ قَلْبِي.٨
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
أَعْلَنْتُ بِرَّكَ وَسَطَ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، وَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أُلْجِمْ شَفَتَيَّ.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 أُخْفِ بِرَّكَ دَاخِلَ قَلْبِي، بَلْ أَعْلَنْتُ أَمَانَتَكَ وَخَلاصَكَ. لَمْ أَكْتُمْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَحَقَّكَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةِ شَعْبِكَ الْعَظِيمِ».١٠
11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
فَأَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ لَنْ تَمْنَعَ مَرَاحِمَكَ عَنِّي. تَنْصُرُنِي دَائِماً رَحْمَتُكَ وَحَقُّكَ.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.
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 LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
يَا رَبُّ، ارْتَضِ أَنْ تُنَجِّيَنِي. أَسْرِعْ يَا رَبُّ لإِغَاثَتِي.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 مَعاً الَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيُدْبِرْ وَلْيَخْزَ الْمَسْرُورُونَ بِأَذِيَّتِي.١٤
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
لِيَذْهَلْ خِزْياً السَّاخِرُونَ مِنِّي.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.
وَلْيَفْرَحْ وَيَبْتَهِجْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ كُلَّ حِينٍ مُحبُّو خَلاصِكَ: «يَتَعَظَّمُ الرَّبُّ».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. الرَّبُّ يَهْتَمُّ بِي. عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. فَلَا تَتَوَانَ يَا إِلَهِي.١٧
