Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, LORD! Let my cry come to you.
| صَلاةُ الْمِسْكِينِ إِذَا أَعْيَا وَسَكَبَ شَكْوَاهُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ يَا رَبُّ اسْتَمِعْ صَلاتِي وَلْيَصِلْ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخِي. | ١ |
2 Don’t hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear to me. Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
| لَا تَحْجُبْ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّي فِي يَوْمِ ضِيقِي، بَلْ أَمِلْ نَحْوِي أُذُنَكَ. اسْتَجِبْ لِي سَرِيعاً يَوْمَ أَدْعُوكَ، | ٢ |
3 For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a torch.
| لأَنَّ أَيَّامِي قَدْ تَبَدَّدَتْ كَالدُّخَانِ، وَعِظَامِي اضْطَرَمَتْ كَالْوَقِيدِ. | ٣ |
4 My heart is blighted like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.
| قَلْبِي مَنْكُوبٌ وَيَابِسٌ كَالْعُشْبِ الْجَافِّ، حَتَّى غَفِلْتُ عَنْ أَكْلِ طَعَامِي. | ٤ |
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.
| الْتَصَقَتْ عِظَامِي بِلَحْمِي مِنْ جَرَّاءِ أَنَّاتِي الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ. | ٥ |
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
| صِرْتُ أَشْبَهَ بِبَجْعِ الْبَرَارِي، وَمِثْلَ بُومَةِ الْخَرَائِبِ. | ٦ |
7 I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
| أَرِقْتُ، وَصِرْتُ كَالْعُصْفُورِ الْمُنْفَرِدِ عَلَى السَّطْحِ. | ٧ |
8 My enemies reproach me all day. Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
| عَيَّرَنِي أَعْدَائِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَالسَّاخِرُونَ الْحَانِقُونَ عَلَيَّ، جَعَلُوا اسْمِي لَعْنَةً، | ٨ |
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,
| فَقَدْ أَكَلْتُ الرَّمَادَ كَالْخُبْزِ، وَمَزَجْتُ شَرَابِي بِالدُّمُوعِ، | ٩ |
10 because of your indignation and your wrath; for you have taken me up and thrown me away.
| بِسَبَبِ غَضَبِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ لأَنَّكَ قَدْ رَفَعْتَنِي ثُمَّ طَرَحْتَنِي بِعُنْفٍ. | ١٠ |
11 My days are like a long shadow. I have withered like grass.
| عُمْرِي أَشْبَهُ بِظِلٍّ مُتَقَلِّصٍ، وَأَنَا مِثْلُ الْعُشْبِ أَذْوِي. | ١١ |
12 But you, LORD, will remain forever; your renown endures to all generations.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ فَجَالِسٌ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَذِكْرُكَ بَاقٍ مَدَى الدَّهْرِ. | ١٢ |
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to have pity on her. Yes, the set time has come.
| أَنْتَ تَقُومُ وَتَرْحَمُ صِهْيَوْنَ لأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَزِفَ وَقْتُ إِظْهَارِ رِضَاكَ، | ١٣ |
14 For your servants take pleasure in her stones, and have pity on her dust.
| فَإِنَّ عَبِيدَكَ يُسَرُّونَ بِحِجَارَتِهَا، يَشْتَاقُونَ إِلَى ذَرَّاتِ تُرَابِهَا. | ١٤ |
15 So the nations will fear the LORD’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.
| فَتَخْشَى الأُمَمُ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ، وَيَهَابُ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ مَجْدَكَ. | ١٥ |
16 For the LORD has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَنَى صِهْيَوْنَ وَتَجَلَّى فِي مَجْدِهِ. | ١٦ |
17 He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.
| الْتَفَتَ إِلَى صَلاةِ الْبَائِسِينَ وَلَمْ يَرْفُضْ دُعَاءَ الْمُتَضَايِقِينَ. | ١٧ |
18 This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise the LORD,
| يُكْتَبُ هَذَا لِلْجِيلِ الآتِي الَّذِي سَيُخْلَقُ فَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّبَّ. | ١٨ |
19 for he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, the LORD saw the earth,
| تَطَلَّعَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عَلْيَاءِ مَقْدِسِهِ، مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ نَظَرَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، | ١٩ |
20 to hear the groans of the prisoner, to free those who are condemned to death,
| لِيَسْمَعَ أَنِينَ شَعْبِهِ الأَسِيرِ وَيُحَرِّرَ الْمَقْضِيَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوْتِ. | ٢٠ |
21 that men may declare the LORD’s name in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
| لِكَيْ يُذَاعَ اسْمُ الرَّبِّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُسَبَّحَ أَيْضاً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، | ٢١ |
22 when the peoples are gathered together, the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
| عِنْدَمَا تَجْتَمِعُ الشُّعُوبُ وَالْمَمَالِكُ جَمِيعاً لِيَعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ. | ٢٢ |
23 He weakened my strength along the course. He shortened my days.
| الرَّبُّ أَضْعَفَنِي وَأَنَا فِي رَيْعَانِ قُوَّتِي وَقَصَّرَ أَيَّامِي. | ٢٣ |
24 I said, “My God, don’t take me away in the middle of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.
| حَتَّى قُلْتُ: «يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ حَيٌّ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. لَا تَقْصِفْنِي فِي مُنْتَصَفِ عُمْرِي، قَبْلَ أَنْ أَبْلُغَ الشَّيْخُوخَةَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.
| مِنْ قِدَمٍ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ، وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ صُنْعُ يَدَيْكَ. | ٢٥ |
26 They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
| هِيَ زَائِلَةٌ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَبَاقٍ. تَبْلَى كُلُّهَا كَالثَّوْبِ. وَتَسْتَبْدِلُهَا كَمَا يُسْتَبْدَلُ الرِّدَاءُ القَدِيمُ بِالجَدِيدِ. | ٢٦ |
27 But you are the same. Your years will have no end.
| لَكِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الدَّائِمُ الْخَالِدُ، وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَنْتَهِيَ. | ٢٧ |
28 The children of your servants will continue. Their offspring will be established before you.”
| أَبْنَاءُ عَبِيدِكَ يَدُومُونَ، وَنَسْلُهُمْ يَظَلُّ ثَابِتاً أَمَامَكَ». | ٢٨ |
