Psalms 119
1 [Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,
| طُوبَى لِلسَّالِكِينَ فِي طَرِيقِ الكَمَالِ، طَرِيقِ شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ. | ١ |
2 O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
| طُوبَى لِمَنْ يَحْفَظُونَ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ، الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَهُ بِكُلِّ الْقَلْبِ، | ٢ |
3 Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
| وَلَا يَرْتَكِبُونَ إِثْماً، إِنَّمَا فِي طُرُقِهِ يَسِيرُونَ. | ٣ |
4 Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently,
| أَنْتَ أَوْصَيْتَ بِحِفْظِ وَصَايَاكَ وَالعَمَلِ بِها كُلِّهَا. | ٤ |
5 O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,
| لَيْتَكَ تُوَجِّهُ طُرُقِي لِمُمَارَسَةِ فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٥ |
6 Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ لَا أَخْزَى إِذَا تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي جَمِيعِ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦ |
7 I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning the judgments of Thy righteousness.
| أَحْمَدُكَ بِقَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ لأَنِّي أَدْرَكْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ٧ |
8 Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly!
| سَأَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ، فَلَا تَتْرُكْنِي أَبَداً. | ٨ |
9 [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To observe — according to Thy word.
| بِمَاذَا يُزَكِّي الشَّابُّ مَسْلَكَهُ؟ بِطَاعَتِهِ لِكَلِمَتِكَ. | ٩ |
10 With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.
| لِذَلِكَ طَلَبْتُكَ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَلَا تَدَعْنِي أَضِلُّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠ |
11 In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.
| خَبَأْتُ كَلامَكَ فِي قَلْبِي، لِئَلّا أُخْطِئَ إِلَيْكَ. | ١١ |
12 Blessed [art] Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes.
| مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢ |
13 With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
| بِشَفَتَيَّ أَعْلَنْتُ جَمِيعَ الأَحْكَامِ الَّتِي نَطَقْتَ بِها. | ١٣ |
14 In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.
| بِطَرِيقِ شَهَادَاتِكَ قَدْ سُرِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سُرُورِ الْحَائِزِ عَلَى كُلِّ غِنىً. | ١٤ |
15 In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy paths.
| أَتَأَمَّلُ وَصَايَاكَ، وَأَحْفَظُ سُبُلَكَ. | ١٥ |
16 In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy word.
| بِفَرائِضِكَ أَتَلَذَّذُ، وَلَا أَنْسَى كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٦ |
17 [Gimel.] Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I keep Thy word.
| أَحْسِنْ إِلَيَّ أَنَا عَبْدِكَ، فَأَحْيَا وَأَعْمَلَ بِكَلِمَتِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law.
| افْتَحْ عَيْنَيَّ فَأَرَى عَجَائِبَ مِنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٨ |
19 A sojourner I [am] on earth, Hide not from me Thy commands.
| غَرِيبٌ أَنَا فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَا تَحْجُبْ عَنِّي وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٩ |
20 Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all times.
| تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي شَوْقاً إِلَى أَحْكَامِكَ دَائِماً. | ٢٠ |
21 Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from Thy commands.
| أَنْتَ تَزْجُرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ الْمَلْعُونِينَ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٢١ |
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies I have kept.
| انْتَزِعْ عَارِي وَهَوَانِي، لأَنَّنِي أُرَاعِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Princes also sat — against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,
| جَلَسَ الرُّؤَسَاءُ وَتَآمَرُوا عَلَيَّ. أَمَّا أَنَا، عَبدَكَ، فَبَقِيتُ أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٢٣ |
24 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my counsel!
| وَصَايَاكَ الشَّاهِدَةُ أَيْضاً هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي، وَأَنَا أَسْتَشِيرُهَا دَائِماً. | ٢٤ |
25 [Daleth.] Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me according to Thy word.
| (أَنَا يَائِسٌ) أَرْقُدُ مُلْتَصِقاً بالتُّرَابِ، فَأَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ. | ٢٥ |
26 My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me Thy statutes,
| اعْتَرَفْتُ بِمَا جَنَيْتُ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لِي. عَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٢٦ |
27 The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I meditate in Thy wonders.
| فَهِّمْنِي طَرِيقَ أَوَامِرِكَ، فَأَتَأَمَّلَ فِي أَعْمَالِكَ الْعَجِيبَةِ. | ٢٧ |
28 My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.
| نَفْسِي ذَائِبَةٌ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ. قَوِّنِي بِحَسَبِ وَعْدِكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 The way of falsehood turn aside from me And with Thy law favour me.
| أَبْعِدْ عَنِّي طَرِيقَ الْغَوَايَةِ وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ لَقِّنِّي شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٢٩ |
30 The way of faithfulness I have chosen, Thy judgments I have compared,
| قَدِ اخْتَرْتُ طَرِيقَ الْحَقِّ، إذْ وَضَعْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ أَمَامِي. | ٣٠ |
31 I have adhered to Thy testimonies, O Jehovah, put me not to shame.
| الْتَزَمْتُ بِوَصَايَاكَ الشَّاهِدَةِ لَكَ يَا رَبُّ فَلَا تُخْزِنِي. | ٣١ |
32 The way of Thy commands I run, For Thou dost enlarge my heart!
| أَجِدُّ مُسْرِعاً فِي طَرِيقِ وَصَايَاكَ، لأَنَّكَ تَشْرَحُ قَلْبِي. | ٣٢ |
33 [He.] Show me, O Jehovah, the way of Thy statutes, And I keep it — [to] the end.
| يَا رَبُّ، عَلِّمْنِي طَرِيقَ فَرَائِضِكَ فَأُرَاعِيَهَا إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ. | ٣٣ |
34 Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe it with the whole heart.
| أَعْطِنِي فَهْماً لأَحْفَظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ وَأَعْمَلَ بِها بِكُلِّ قَلْبِي. | ٣٤ |
35 Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it I have delighted.
| اهْدِنِي فِي سَبِيلِ وَصَايَاكَ، فَفِيهَا بَهْجَتِي. | ٣٥ |
36 Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto dishonest gain.
| اجْتَذِبْ قَلْبِي نَحْوَ شَهَادَاتِكَ بَعِيداً عَنْ مَطَامِعِ الْمَالِ. | ٣٦ |
37 Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.
| حَوِّلْ عَيْنَيَّ عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ الْبَاطِلِ، وَفِي طَرِيقِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ٣٧ |
38 Establish to Thy servant Thy saying, That [is] concerning Thy fear.
| حَقِّقْ لِعَبْدِكَ قَوْلَكَ، الَّذِي وَعَدْتَ بِهِ مُتَّقِيكَ. | ٣٨ |
39 Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments [are] good.
| أَزِلْ عَنِّي الْعَارَ الَّذِي أَخْشَاهُ، لأَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ صَالِحَةٌ. | ٣٩ |
40 Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,
| هَا قَدْ رَغِبْتُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. بِعَدْلِكَ أَحْيِنِي. | ٤٠ |
41 [Waw.] And meet me doth Thy kindness, O Jehovah, Thy salvation according to Thy saying.
| أَنْعِمْ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبُّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَخَلاصِكَ حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ. | ٤١ |
42 And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.
| فَأَرُدَّ عَلَى مُعَيِّرِيَّ، لأَنِّي أَثِقُ بِوَعْدِكَ. | ٤٢ |
43 And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.
| لَا تَنْزِعْ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ مِنْ فَمِي لأَنَّ رَجَائِي فِي أَحْكَامِكَ، | ٤٣ |
44 And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.
| فَأَحْفَظَ شَرِيعَتَكَ دَائِماً، إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ، | ٤٤ |
45 And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.
| وَأَسْلُكَ فِي رَحَابَةِ الْحُرِّيَّةِ، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ أَوَامِرَكَ. | ٤٥ |
46 And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.
| سَأَتَحَدَّثُ بِشَهَادَاتِكَ أَمَامَ الْمُلُوكِ وَلَا يَعْتَرِينِي الْخِزْيُ، | ٤٦ |
47 And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved,
| وَأَتَلَذَّذُ بِوَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا، | ٤٧ |
48 And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!
| وَأَرْفَعُ كَفَّيَّ إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ الَّتِي أَحْبَبْتُهَا وَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي فَرَائِضِكَ. | ٤٨ |
49 [Zain.] Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou hast caused me to hope.
| حَقِّقْ لِعَبْدِكَ وَعْدَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَنِي أَنْتَظِرُهُ. | ٤٩ |
50 This [is] my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.
| وَعْدُكَ يُنْعِشُنِي إِذْ هُوَ تَعْزِيَتِي فِي ضِيقِي. | ٥٠ |
51 The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have not turned aside.
| جَاوَزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الْحَدَّ فِي السُّخْرِيَةِ بِي، لَكِنْ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ لَمْ أَمِلْ. | ٥١ |
52 I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I comfort myself.
| تَذَكَّرْتُ أَحْكَامَكَ مُنْذُ الدَّهْرِ يَا رَبُّ، فَتَعَزَّيْتُ. | ٥٢ |
53 Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking Thy law.
| تَوَلّانِي الْغَيْظُ مِنَ الأَشْرَارِ الَّذِينَ نَبَذُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٣ |
54 Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my sojournings.
| صَارَتْ فَرَائِضُكَ تَرْنِيمَاتٍ لِي فِي أَرْضِ غُرْبَتِي. | ٥٤ |
55 I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I do keep Thy law.
| ذَكَرْتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ، وَحَفِظْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٥٥ |
56 This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept!
| هَذَا مَا حَظِيتُ بِهِ لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٥٦ |
57 [Cheth.] My portion [is] Jehovah; I have said — to keep Thy words,
| أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ نَصِيبِي، فَأَعِدُكَ بِطَاعَةِ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٥٧ |
58 I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me according to Thy saying.
| طَلَبْتُ وَجْهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي: ارْحَمْنِي حَسَبَ وَعْدِكَ. | ٥٨ |
59 I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy testimonies.
| تَأَمَّلْتُ فِي انْحِرَافِي فَعُدْتُ وَتَحَوَّلْتُ نَحْوَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٥٩ |
60 I have made haste, And delayed not, to keep Thy commands.
| أَسْرَعْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ تَوَانٍ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٠ |
61 Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have not forgotten.
| قَامَ الأَشْرَارُ بِالإِيقَاعِ بِي، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ٦١ |
62 At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the judgments of Thy righteousness.
| أَسْتَيْقِظُ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ لأَحْمَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ٦٢ |
63 A companion I [am] to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.
| رَفِيقٌ أَنَا لِكُلِّ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَكَ، وَلِحَافِظِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٣ |
64 Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy statutes teach Thou me!
| رَحْمَتُكَ يَا رَبُّ قَدْ عَمَّتِ الأَرْضَ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٤ |
65 [Teth.] Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word.
| صَنَعْتَ خَيْراً يَا رَبُّ مَعِي أَنَا عَبْدَكَ كَمَا وَعَدْتَ. | ٦٥ |
66 The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.
| هَبْنِي رُوحَ تَمْيِيزٍ وَمَعْرِفَةً، لأَنِّي آمَنْتُ بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٦ |
67 Before I am afflicted, I — I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept.
| ضَلَلْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَدَّبْتَنِي، أَمَّا الآنَ فَحَفِظْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٦٧ |
68 Good Thou [art], and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes.
| أَنْتَ صَالِحٌ وَمُحْسِنٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٦٨ |
69 Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.
| لَفَّقَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَالاً كَاذِبَةً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَبِكُلِّ قَلْبِي أَحْفَظُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٦٩ |
70 Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I — in Thy law I have delighted.
| غَلُظَ قَلْبُهُمْ وَتَقَسَّى، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَمَتَّعُ بِشَرِيعَتِكَ. | ٧٠ |
71 Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes.
| كَانَ مَا ذُقْتُ مِنْ هَوَانٍ لِخَيْرِي فَتَعَلَّمْتُ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٧١ |
72 Better to me [is] the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!
| شَرِيعَةُ فَمِكَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ كُلِّ ذَهَبِ الْعَالَمِ وَفِضَّتِهِ. | ٧٢ |
73 [Yod.] Thy hands made me and establish me, Cause me to understand, and I learn Thy commands.
| يَدَاكَ صَنَعَتَانِي وَكَوَّنَتَانِي، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَتَعَلَّمَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٣ |
74 Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy word I have hoped.
| فَيَرَانِي مُتَّقُوكَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ، لأَنِّي انْتَظَرْتُ كَلامَكَ. | ٧٤ |
75 I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous [are] Thy judgments, And [in] faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.
| قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبُّ أَنَّ أَحْكَامَكَ عَادِلَةٌ، وَأَنَّكَ بِالْحَقِّ أَدَّبْتَنِي. | ٧٥ |
76 Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.
| فَلْتَكُنْ رَحْمَتُكَ تَعْزِيَةً لِي، بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ لِعَبْدِكَ. | ٧٦ |
77 Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law [is] my delight.
| لِتَأْتِنِي مَرَاحِمُكَ فَأَحْيَا، لأَنَّ شَرِيعَتَكَ هِيَ مُتْعَتِي. | ٧٧ |
78 Ashamed are the proud, For [with] falsehood they dealt perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts.
| لِيَخْزَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ لأَنَّهُمُ افْتَرَوْا عَلَيَّ زُوراً، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَأَمَّلُ فِي وَصَايَاكَ. | ٧٨ |
79 Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy testimonies.
| لِيَنْضَمَّ إِلَيَّ مُتَّقُوكَ وَعَارِفُو شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٧٩ |
80 My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.
| لِيَكُنْ قَلْبِي مُتَعَلِّقاً بِكَامِلِ فَرَائِضِكَ، فَلَا أَخْزَى. | ٨٠ |
81 [Kaph.] Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For Thy word I have hoped.
| تَتَلَهَّفُ نَفْسِي إِلَى خَلاصِكَ. رَجَائِي هُوَ كَلِمَتُكَ. | ٨١ |
82 Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, 'When doth it comfort me?'
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ فِي انْتِظَارِ كَلامِكَ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ: مَتَى تُعَزِّينِي؟ | ٨٢ |
83 For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.
| أَصْبَحْتُ كَقِرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ أَتْلَفَتْهَا الْحَرَارَةُ وَالدُّخَانُ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ٨٣ |
84 How many [are] the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou execute Against my pursuers judgment?
| كَمْ هِي أَيَّامُ عُمْرِ عَبْدِكَ؟ مَتَى تُنْزِلُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالَّذِينَ يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي؟ | ٨٤ |
85 The proud have digged for me pits, That [are] not according to Thy law.
| الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ الَّذِينَ يَعْصَوْنَ شَرِيعَتَكَ حَفَرُوا لِي حُفَراً. | ٨٥ |
86 All Thy commands [are] faithfulness, [With] falsehood they have pursued me, Help Thou me.
| وَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا صَادِقَةٌ. زُوراً يَضْطَهِدُونَنِي فَأَغِثْنِي. | ٨٦ |
87 Almost consumed me on earth have they, And I — I have not forsaken Thy precepts.
| لَوْلَا قَلِيلٌ لأَفْنَوْنِي مِنَ الأَرْضِ، لَكِنِّي لَمْ أَتْرُكْ شَرِيعَتَكْ. | ٨٧ |
88 According to Thy kindness quicken Thou me, And I keep the testimony of Thy mouth!
| أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، فَأُطِيعَ شَرَائِعَكَ. | ٨٨ |
89 [Lamed.] To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the heavens.
| يَا رَبُّ كَلِمَتُكَ تَدُومُ ثَابِتَةً فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٨٩ |
90 To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish earth, and it standeth.
| مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ أَمَانَتُكَ. أَنْتَ أَسَّسْتَ الأَرْضَ فَلَنْ تَتَزَعْزَعَ. | ٩٠ |
91 According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day, for the whole [are] Thy servants.
| بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ تَثْبُتُ الْيَوْمَ، لأَنَّ الْكُلَّ خُدَّامٌ لَكَ. | ٩١ |
92 Unless Thy law [were] my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.
| لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ شَرِيعَتُكَ مُتْعَتِي، لَهَلَكْتُ فِي مَذَلَّتِي، | ٩٢ |
93 To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou hast quickened me.
| لَنْ أَنْسَى وَصَايَاكَ أَبَداً، لأَنَّكَ بِها وَهَبْتَنِي الْحَيَاةَ. | ٩٣ |
94 I [am] Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have sought.
| أَنَا لَكَ، فَخَلِّصْنِي، لأَنِّي الْتَمَسْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ٩٤ |
95 Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me, Thy testimonies I understand.
| تَرَبَّصَ بِيَ الأَشْرَارُ لِيُهْلِكُونِي، لَكِنِّي أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ٩٥ |
96 Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad [is] Thy command — exceedingly!
| رَأَيْتُ لِكُلِّ كَمَالٍ حَدّاً، أَمَّا وَصِيَّتُكَ فَلَا حَدَّ لَهَا. | ٩٦ |
97 [Mem.] O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it [is] my (meditation)
| كَمْ أَحْبَبْتُ شَرِيعَتَكَ، إِنَّهَا مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي طُولَ النَّهَارِ. | ٩٧ |
98 Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it [is] before me to the age.
| وَصِيَّتُكَ جَعَلَتْنِي أَحْكَمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي، لأَنَّهَا نَصِيبِي إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٩٨ |
99 Above all my teachers I have acted wisely. For Thy testimonies [are] my (meditation)
| صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فَهْماً مِنْ مُعَلِّمِيَّ، لأَنَّ شَهَادَاتِكَ هِيَ مَوْضُوعُ تَأَمُّلِي. | ٩٩ |
100 Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.
| صِرْتُ أَكْثَرَ فِطْنَةً مِنَ الشُّيُوخِ، لأَنِّي رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٠٠ |
101 From every evil path I restrained my feet, So that I keep Thy word.
| مَنَعْتُ قَدَمَيَّ عَنْ سُلُوكِ كُلِّ طَرِيقِ شَرٍّ، لِكَيْ أَحْفَظَ كَلامَكَ. | ١٠١ |
102 From Thy judgments I turned not aside, For Thou — Thou hast directed me.
| لَمْ أَبْتَعِدْ عَنْ أَحْكَامِكَ لأَنَّكَ هَكَذَا عَلَّمْتَنِي. | ١٠٢ |
103 How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey to my mouth.
| مَا أَحْلَى أَقْوَالَكَ لِمَذَاقِي. إِنَّهَا أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِي فَمِي. | ١٠٣ |
104 From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have hated every false path!
| مِنْ وَصَايَاكَ اكْتَسَبْتُ فِطْنَةً لِذَلِكَ أَبْغَضْتُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٠٤ |
105 [Nun.] A lamp to my foot [is] Thy word, And a light to my path.
| سِرَاجٌ لِرِجْلِي كَلامُكَ وَنُورٌ لِسَبِيلِي. | ١٠٥ |
106 I have sworn, and I confirm [it], To keep the judgments of Thy righteousness.
| أَقْسَمْتُ يَمِيناً مُوَثَّقَةً أَنْ أَحْفَظَ أَحْكَامَكَ الْعَادِلَةَ. | ١٠٦ |
107 I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me, according to Thy word.
| قَاسَيْتُ جِدّاً فَأَنْعِشْنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِكَ. | ١٠٧ |
108 Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me.
| تَقَبَّلْ يَا رَبُّ صَلَوَاتِ شُكْرِي، وَعَلِّمْنِي أَحْكَامَكَ. | ١٠٨ |
109 My soul [is] in my hand continually, And Thy law I have not forgotten.
| نَفْسِي دَائِماً فِي كَفِّي، لَكِنِّي لَا أَنْسَى شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٠٩ |
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, And from thy precepts I wandered not.
| نَصَبَ الأَشْرَارُ لِي فَخّاً فَتَفَادَيْتُهُ لأَنِّي لَمْ أَضِلَّ عَنْ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١١٠ |
111 I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy of my heart [are] they.
| اتَّخَذْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ مِيرَاثاً إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لأَنَّهَا بَهْجَةُ قَلْبِي. | ١١١ |
112 I have inclined my heart To do Thy statutes, to the age — [to] the end!
| لَقَدْ عَزَمْتُ أَنْ أُتَمِّمَ فَرَائِضَكَ إِلَى أَنْ أَمُوتَ. | ١١٢ |
113 [Samech.] Doubting ones I have hated, And Thy law I have loved.
| أَبْغَضْتُ ذَوِي الرَّأْيِ الْمُتَقَلِّبِ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ. | ١١٣ |
114 My hiding place and my shield [art] Thou, For Thy word I have hoped.
| أَنْتَ مَلْجَإِي وَتُرْسِي، وَأَمَلِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١١٤ |
115 Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the commands of my God.
| ابْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَا إِلَهِي. | ١١٥ |
116 Sustain me according to Thy saying, And I live, and Thou puttest me not to shame Because of my hope.
| كُنْ سَنَدِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَ، فَأَحْيَا وَلَا يَخِيبَ رَجَائِي. | ١١٦ |
117 Support Thou me, and I am saved, And I look on Thy statutes continually.
| اعْضُدْنِي فَأَخْلُصَ، وَأُرَاعِيَ فَرَائِضَكَ دَائِماً. | ١١٧ |
118 Thou hast trodden down All going astray from Thy statutes, For falsehood [is] their deceit.
| احْتَقَرْتَ الضَّالِّينَ عَنْ فَرَائِضِكَ، وَمَكْرُهُمْ لَا يُجْدِيهِمْ نَفْعاً. | ١١٨ |
119 Dross! Thou hast caused to cease All the wicked of the earth; Therefore I have loved Thy testimonies.
| رَذَلْتَ جَمِيعَ أَشْرَارِ الأَرْضِ كَأَنَّهُمْ نُفَايَةٌ، لِذَلِكَ أَحْبَبْتُ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١١٩ |
120 Trembled from Thy fear hath my flesh, And from Thy judgments I have been afraid!
| اقْشَعَرَّ بَدَنِي رُعْباً مِنْكَ وَجَزِعْتُ مِنْ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٢٠ |
121 [Ain.] I have done judgment and righteousness, Leave me not to mine oppressors.
| أَجْرَيْتُ قَضَاءً وَعَدْلاً، فَلَا تُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى ظَالِمِيَّ. | ١٢١ |
122 Make sure Thy servant for good, Let not the proud oppress me.
| كُنْ ضَامِناً لِخَيْرِ عَبْدِكَ، فَلَا يَجُورَ عَلَيَّ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ. | ١٢٢ |
123 Mine eyes have been consumed for Thy salvation. And for the saying of Thy righteousness.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى خَلاصِكَ وَإِلَى تَحْقِيقِ وَعْدِكَ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢٣ |
124 Do with Thy servant according to Thy kindness. And Thy statutes teach Thou me.
| عَامِلْ عَبْدَكَ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٢٤ |
125 Thy servant [am] I — cause me to understand, And I know Thy testimonies.
| عَبْدُكَ أَنَا، فَهَبْنِي فَهْماً لأَعْرِفَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٢٥ |
126 Time for Jehovah to work! they have made void Thy law.
| يَا رَبُّ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ، فَقَدْ نَقَضُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٢٦ |
127 Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold — even fine gold.
| لِذَلِكَ أُحِبُّ وَصَايَاكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، | ١٢٧ |
128 Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!
| وَلأَنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ فَرَائِضِكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، أُبْغِضُ كُلَّ طَرِيقٍ بَاطِلٍ. | ١٢٨ |
129 [Pe.] Wonderful [are] Thy testimonies, Therefore hath my soul kept them.
| مَا أَعْجَبَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. لِذَلِكَ تُرَاعِيهَا نَفْسِي. | ١٢٩ |
130 The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.
| فَتْحُ كَلامِكَ يُنِيرُ الذِّهْنَ، وَيَهِبُ الْبُسَطَاءَ فَهْماً. | ١٣٠ |
131 My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy commands I have longed.
| فَغَرْتُ فَمِي لاهِثاً اشْتِيَاقاً إِلَى وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣١ |
132 Look unto me, and favour me, As customary to those loving Thy name.
| الْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ، كَمَا تَفْعَلُ دَائِماً مَعَ مُحِبِّيكَ. | ١٣٢ |
133 My steps establish by Thy saying, And any iniquity doth not rule over me.
| ثَبِّتْ خُطْوَاتِي فِي كَلِمَتِكَ، وَلَا تَدَعْ أَيَّ إِثْمٍ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٣٣ |
134 Ransom me from the oppression of man, And I observe Thy precepts,
| حَرِّرْنِي مِنْ ظُلْمِ الإِنْسَانِ، فَأَحْفَظَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٣٤ |
135 Thy face cause to shine on Thy servant, And teach me Thy statutes.
| أَضِئْ بِوَجْهِكَ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ، وَعَلِّمْنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٣٥ |
136 Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, Because they have not kept Thy law!
| فَاضَتْ مِنْ عَيْنَيَّ يَنَابِيعُ دَمْعٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُرَاعُوا شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٣٦ |
137 [Tzade.] Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And upright [are] Thy judgments.
| عَادِلٌ أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ، وَأَحْكَامُكَ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ. | ١٣٧ |
138 Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and exceeding faithful,
| أَصْدَرْتَ أَوَامِرَكَ بِعَدْلٍ وَبِأَقْصَى الأَمَانَةِ. | ١٣٨ |
139 Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.
| أَتَمَيَّزُ غَيْرَةً فِي دَاخِلِي، لأَنَّ أَعْدَائِي تَغَاضَوْا عَنْ كَلامِكَ. | ١٣٩ |
140 Tried [is] thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath loved it.
| أَقْوَالُكَ مُمَحَّصَةٌ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَعَبْدُكَ أَحَبَّهَا. | ١٤٠ |
141 Small I [am], and despised, Thy precepts I have not forgotten.
| صَغِيرُ الشَّأْنِ أَنَا وَحَقِيرٌ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤١ |
142 Thy righteousness [is] righteousness to the age, And Thy law [is] truth.
| عَدْلُكَ عَدْلٌ أَبَدِيٌّ وَشَرِيعَتُكَ حَقٌّ. | ١٤٢ |
143 Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands [are] my delights.
| اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيَّ الضِّيقُ وَالشِّدَّةُ، وَلَا لَذَّةَ لِي إِلّا بِوَصَايَاكَ. | ١٤٣ |
144 The righteousness of Thy testimonies [is] to Cause me to understand, and I live!
| شَهَادَاتُكَ عَدْلٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. فَهِّمْنِي إِيَّاهَا فَأَحْيَا. | ١٤٤ |
145 [Koph.] I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep,
| صَرَخْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِي، فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي يَا رَبُّ، وَسَأُرَاعِي شَرَائِعَكَ. | ١٤٥ |
146 I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy testimonies.
| إِيَّاكَ دَعَوْتُ فَخَلِّصْنِي لأُطِيعَ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٤٦ |
147 I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word I have hoped.
| اسْتَيْقَظْتُ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَاسْتَغَثْتُ؛ رَجَائِي فِي كَلامِكَ. | ١٤٧ |
148 Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.
| اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ أَظَلُّ مُسْتَيْقِظاً، أَتَأَمَّلُ فِي أَقْوَالِكَ | ١٤٨ |
149 My voice hear, according to Thy kindness, Jehovah, according to Thy judgment quicken me.
| اسْتَمِعْ لِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَحْيِنِي بِمُوْجِبِ أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٤٩ |
150 Near have been my wicked pursuers, From Thy law they have been far off.
| اقْتَرَبَ مِنِّي السَّاعُونَ وَرَاءَ الرَّذِيلَةِ، الْبَعِيدُونَ عَنْ شَرِيعَتِكَ. | ١٥٠ |
151 Near [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands [are] truth.
| إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ يَا رَبُّ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ، وَوَصَايَاكَ كُلُّهَا حَقٌّ. | ١٥١ |
152 Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age Thou hast founded them!
| مُنْذُ الْقَدِيمِ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ أَنَّكَ وَضَعْتَهَا لِتَثْبُتَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ١٥٢ |
153 [Resh.] See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy law I have not forgotten.
| انْظُرْ إِلَى مَذَلَّتِي وَأَنْقِذْنِي، لأَنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ شَرِيعَتَكَ. | ١٥٣ |
154 Plead my plea, and redeem me, According to Thy saying quicken me.
| تَوَلَّ قَضِيَّتِي وَافْدِنِي، أَحْيِنِي حَسَبَ كَلِمَتِكَ. | ١٥٤ |
155 Far from the wicked [is] salvation, For Thy statutes they have not sought.
| الْخَلاصُ بَعِيدٌ عَنِ الأَشْرَارِ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَطْلُبُونَ فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٥٥ |
156 Thy mercies [are] many, O Jehovah, According to Thy judgments quicken me.
| مَا أَكْثَرَ مَرَاحِمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. أَحْيِنِي بِمُقْتَضَى أَحْكَامِكَ. | ١٥٦ |
157 Many [are] my pursuers, and adversaries, From Thy testimonies I have not turned aside.
| كَثِيرُونَ هُمْ أَعْدَائِي وَمُضْطَهِدِيَّ، وَلَكِنِّي لَمْ أَحِدْ عَنْ شَهَادَاتِكَ. | ١٥٧ |
158 I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because Thy saying they have not kept.
| نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْغَادِرِينَ شَزْراً، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا كَلِمَتَكَ. | ١٥٨ |
159 See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According to Thy kindness quicken me.
| انْظُرْ كَيْفَ أَحْبَبْتُ وَصَايَاكَ فَأَحْيِنِي يَا رَبُّ بِمُقْتَضَى رَحْمَتِكَ. | ١٥٩ |
160 The sum of Thy word [is] truth, And to the age [is] every judgment of Thy righteousness!
| كَلامُكَ بِأَسْرِهِ حَقٌّ، وَكُلُّ أَحْكَامِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَادِلَةٌ. | ١٦٠ |
161 [Shin.] Princes have pursued me without cause, And because of Thy words was my heart afraid.
| اضْطَهَدَنِي رُؤَسَاءُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ، لَكِنَّ قَلْبِي لَا يَهَابُ سِوَى كَلامِكَ. | ١٦١ |
162 I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding abundant spoil.
| أَبْتَهِجُ بِكَلامِكَ كَبَهْجَةِ مَنْ عَثَرَ عَلَى غَنِيمَةٍ جَزِيلَةٍ. | ١٦٢ |
163 Falsehood I have hated, yea I abominate [it], Thy law I have loved.
| أَبْغَضْتُ الْكَذِبَ وَمَقَتُّهُ، أَمَّا شَرِيعَتُكَ فَأَحْبَبْتُهَا. | ١٦٣ |
164 Seven [times] in a day I have praised Thee, Because of the judgments of Thy righteousness.
| سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ سَبَّحْتُكَ فِي النَّهَارِ عَلَى أَحْكَامِكَ الْعَادِلَةِ. | ١٦٤ |
165 Abundant peace have those loving Thy law, And they have no stumbling-block.
| سَلامٌ جَزِيلٌ لِمُحِبِّي شَرِيعَتِكَ، وَلَنْ يُعْثِرَهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا شَيْءٌ | ١٦٥ |
166 I have waited for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy commands I have done.
| رَجَوْتُ خَلاصَكَ يَا رَبُّ وَوَصَايَاكَ عَمِلْتُ. | ١٦٦ |
167 Kept hath my soul Thy testimonies, And I do love them exceedingly.
| حَفِظَتْ نَفْسِي شَهَادَاتِكَ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهَا جِدّاً. | ١٦٧ |
168 I have kept Thy precepts and Thy testimonies, For all my ways are before Thee!
| رَاعَيْتُ وَصَايَاكَ وَشَهَادَاتِكَ، وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِي مَاثِلَةٌ أَمَامَكَ. | ١٦٨ |
169 [Taw.] My loud cry cometh near before Thee, O Jehovah; According to Thy word cause me to understand.
| لِيَصِلْ صُرَاخِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ. هَبْنِي فَهْماً حَسَبَ كَلامِكَ. | ١٦٩ |
170 My supplication cometh in before Thee, According to Thy saying deliver Thou me.
| لِتَمْثُلْ طِلْبَتِي أَمَامَكَ. أَنْقِذْنِي بِمُوجِبِ وَعْدِكَ. | ١٧٠ |
171 My lips do utter praise, For Thou dost teach me Thy statutes.
| تَفِيضُ شَفَتَايَ تَسْبِيحاً إذْ تُعَلِّمُنِي فَرَائِضَكَ. | ١٧١ |
172 My tongue doth sing of Thy saying, For all Thy commands [are] righteous.
| يَشْدُو لِسَانِي بِأَقْوَالِكَ، لأَنَّ جَمِيعَ وَصَايَاكَ عَدْلٌ. | ١٧٢ |
173 Thy hand is for a help to me, For Thy commands I have chosen.
| لِتُغِثْنِي يَدُكَ لأَنِّي اخْتَرْتُ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٣ |
174 I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law [is] my delight.
| اشْتَقْتُ إِلَى خَلاصِكَ يَا رَبُّ؛ شَرِيعَتُكَ هِيَ مَسَرَّتِي. | ١٧٤ |
175 My soul liveth, and it doth praise Thee, And Thy judgments do help me.
| لِتَحْيَ نَفْسِي فَتُسَبِّحَكَ وَلْتَكُنْ أَحْكَامُكَ لِي عَوْناً. | ١٧٥ |
176 I wandered as a lost sheep, seek Thy servant, For Thy precepts I have not forgotten!
| تِهْتُ كَخَرُوفٍ ضَالٍّ. فَابْحَثْ عَنْ عَبْدِكَ، فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْسَ وَصَايَاكَ. | ١٧٦ |
