Psalms 44

1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. قَصِيدَةٌ اَللَّهُمَّ، بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا. آبَاؤُنَا أَخْبَرُونَا بِعَمَلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ فِي أَيَّامِهِمْ، فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلْقِدَمِ.

2 [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and didst plant them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

٢ أَنْتَ بِيَدِكَ ٱسْتَأْصَلْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ وَغَرَسْتَهُمْ. حَطَّمْتَ شُعُوبًا وَمَدَدْتَهُمْ.

3 For they obtained not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor to them.

٣ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِسَيْفِهِمْ ٱمْتَلَكُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَا ذِرَاعُهُمْ خَلَّصَتْهُمْ، لَكِنْ يَمِينُكَ وَذِرَاعُكَ وَنُورُ وَجْهِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُمْ.

4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

٤ أَنْتَ هُوَ مَلِكِي يَا ٱللهُ، فَأْمُرْ بِخَلَاصِ يَعْقُوبَ.

5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name we will tread them under that rise up against us.

٥ بِكَ نَنْطَحُ مُضَايِقِينَا. بِٱسْمِكَ نَدُوسُ ٱلْقَائِمِينَ عَلَيْنَا.

6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

٦ لِأَنِّي عَلَى قَوْسِي لَا أَتَّكِلُ، وَسَيْفِي لَا يُخَلِّصُنِي.

7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

٧ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ خَلَّصْتَنَا مِنْ مُضَايِقِينَا، وَأَخْزَيْتَ مُبْغِضِينَا.

8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. (Selah)

٨ بِٱللهِ نَفْتَخِرُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ، وَٱسْمَكَ نَحْمَدُ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. سِلَاهْ.

9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

٩ لَكِنَّكَ قَدْ رَفَضْتَنَا وَأَخْجَلْتَنَا، وَلَا تَخْرُجُ مَعَ جُنُودِنَا.

10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us plunder for themselves.

١٠ تُرْجِعُنَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ عَنِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ، وَمُبْغِضُونَا نَهَبُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ.

11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for food; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

١١ جَعَلْتَنَا كَٱلضَّأْنِ أُكْلًا. ذَرَّيْتَنَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

12 Thou sellest thy people for naught, and dost not increase [thy wealth] by their price.

١٢ بِعْتَ شَعْبَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَالٍ، وَمَا رَبِحْتَ بِثَمَنِهِمْ.

13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and a derision to them that are around us.

١٣ تَجْعَلُنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْأَةً وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا.

14 Thou makest us a by-word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

١٤ تَجْعَلُنَا مَثَلًا بَيْنَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. لِإِنْغَاضِ ٱلرَّأْسِ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

15 My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

١٥ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ خَجَلِي أَمَامِي، وَخِزْيُ وَجْهِي قَدْ غَطَّانِي.

16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

١٦ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلْمُعَيِّرِ وَٱلشَّاتِمِ. مِنْ وَجْهِ عَدُوٍّ وَمُنْتَقِمٍ.

17 All this is come upon us; yet we have not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

١٧ هَذَا كُلُّهُ جَاءَ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَا نَسِينَاكَ وَلَا خُنَّا فِي عَهْدِكَ.

18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

١٨ لَمْ يَرْتَدَّ قَلْبُنَا إِلَى وَرَاءٍ، وَلَا مَالَتْ خَطْوَتُنَا عَنْ طَرِيقِكَ،

19 Though thou hast severely broke us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shades of death.

١٩ حَتَّى سَحَقْتَنَا فِي مَكَانِ ٱلتَّنَانِينِ، وَغَطَّيْتَنَا بِظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

٢٠ إِنْ نَسِينَا ٱسْمَ إِلَهِنَا أَوْ بَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا إِلَى إِلَهٍ غَرِيبٍ،

21 Will not God search out this? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

٢١ أَفَلَا يَفْحَصُ ٱللهُ عَنْ هَذَا؟ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْرِفُ خَفِيَّاتِ ٱلْقَلْبِ.

22 Yes, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

٢٢ لِأَنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُمَاتُ ٱلْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ. قَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ.

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O LORD? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.

٢٣ اِسْتَيْقِظْ! لِمَاذَا تَتَغَافَى يَارَبُّ؟ ٱنْتَبِهْ! لَا تَرْفُضْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

24 Why hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

٢٤ لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ وَتَنْسَى مَذَلَّتَنَا وَضِيقَنَا؟

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.

٢٥ لِأَنَّ أَنْفُسَنَا مُنْحَنِيَةٌ إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ. لَصِقَتْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ بُطُونُنَا.

26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

٢٦ قُمْ عَوْنًا لَنَا وَٱفْدِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ رَحْمَتِكَ.
